Pretty much everything from The American Thinker is a good read. This is no exception. They are my favorite source.

Attkisson told of the example where polls showed Hillary Clinton widely ahead, even though she saw something quite different while traveling the country and digging into the polls. “On August 10, 2016, Bloomberg reported Clinton up by six. But looking at the actual poll, I found that her lead over Trump had shrunk by eighteen points in the past five months. Yet no news outlets reported that.” Maybe this is why the press has such a dismal approval rating. A recent PBS poll showed that the media are trusted by only 30%.

Attkisson went on: “I believe Donald Trump should be covered, as any president should, aggressively, and questioned on what he does. Yet there has been a shocking degree of false reporting on him in this short period of time by formerly well respected news organizations that have publicly suspended their normal standards and practices to cover Trump, saying they view him as uniquely ‘dangerous.’ This has also led to such practices as over-reliance on anonymous sources, who prove to be wrong time and again. I think this has resulted in experienced journalists at formerly well respected news organizations like CNN, Time, The New York Times, and The Washington Post making rookie mistakes that would not even be accepted in journalism colleges.”
