Why is there not a lemon law for journalism? Why are they not held to a standard of truth? They are outright lying and deceiving through omission and should be fined and discredited.

The Quintessential Liberal Fascist .... a brilliant treatise, indeed.

Many thanks for the link.

“THEY have distinguished themselves as
seditionists and terrorists and traitors”

Remember also that this is what they’ve taught their CHILDREN.

“Does anyone recall the wall-to-wall media coverage of the Clinton impeachment hearings?”

I’ve had conversations with millennial freaks who don’t believe BJ was impeached, because he wasn’t REMOVED.

The leftists are sure it was all about and because of sex.

It’s clear now the Watergate reporting was not journalism but rather a partisan attack on Nixon.

Before Dan there was CNN’s Eason Jordan admitting that all the news coming out of Baghdad prior to the war was just Hussein’s propaganda…… Hot Tabasco
That whole incident STILL fills me with fury!

I was too young then to have more than the vaguest memories of Nixon’s presidency, but read quite a bit about it, including the “All the President’s Men” series, and believed the conventional wisdom about Nixon’s corruption. I’ve started to think more and more, though, that maybe if Nixon had been a Democrat, he would have finished out his term and “Watergate” wouldn’t be a word for scandal.

When was journalism ever alive?

Journalism has always and will always be writing or speaking which is slanted from the point of view of the writer/speaker. The only question is how slanted will it be and can you notice it.

I see bias in everything ever said or ever written. Again, the only real question is how much of what is written/said is inherently true within the word choice of the biased human choosing the words to be used.

Journalism went away a long time ago. Now it is pure propaganda.

I personally believe, although it is based on circumstantial evidence, that many in the media are involved in perverse practices.

It would not be surprising that they do not want these investigations to go any further because they would be exposed — and the darkness hates the light because the light exposes the evil.
