From Rolling Stone?
This wasn't about journalism and so there is nothing to be learned about journalism, not journalism as it used to be regarded.
The Ministry of Propaganda is only interested in furthering the agenda by sticking to the narrative.
Those so-called “conservatives” against Trump ar nothing more than Bush league Republicans hell bent on turning the USA into North mexico and getting their “friends” across the aisle a permanent majority.
False premise.
They don’t want to learn anything.
Sources and methods: FBI, CIA leak to favored journalists who then print the story. In circular fashion, FBI uses story as predicate to open an investigation. Just like the Soviet Union.
I'd sure like to see the unredacted info in the Mueller report as to "sources and methods". Guys like David Iganius, Michael Isakoff, Andrea Mitchell, the entire NY Times staff.
If it's from Rolling Stone you know it's gonna be baloney so never mind.
Matt Tiabbi finally discovered the truth.
Now if he could only convince CNN, NY Times, MSNBC, .....
Russiagate...the Enron of news reporting.
Bauder added the report showed “several instances where the president and his team sought to mislead the public.” He congratulated the New York Times and Washington Post for correctly reporting that White House counsel Don McGahn had been ordered to find a way to fire Mueller.
Trump, Bauder noted, had called this “fake news, folks, fake news.” It wasn’t. And neither were some other stories.
So, yay journalism! You were more truthful than Donald Trump, at times. This is like being proud of beating a fish at Boggle.
*******************************
And even in this, the lies continue to be repeated.
Pathological.
Exactly. The whole old Media complex was out to get Trump from the start.
They never were interested in the truth.
To them, truth is irrelevant.
exactly correct. The propaganda press could have looked at a website like FreeRepublic, Judicial Watch or Conservative Treehouse months, or even years, ago and connected the dots. They didn’t want to know anything that went against their leftist agenda.
It was not a fiasco. Everything they did was deliberate.
They will have their way at any cost.
Learn? They were in on it.
“...reporters should be furious at the many sources close to the various investigations who (it now seems clear) must have known pretty early there were serious holes in many areas of this story, and that a lot of these “dots” were dead ends, but didn’t warn their press counterparts.“
Poor Matt. Must be new and young. Does NOT understand the Democrat-media complex. He’ll be tutored now.
Sounds like a CYA for the Media to me. This clown Knows damn well that the Entire Fake News media Complex knew the whole story was Made Up from the Beginning, they Conspired with Numerous Government Officials to Overthrow the United States Government.
Awwwww dude, guess they never heard of communes.
Dang wrong thread 8^)
Conservative media throughout 2015-2016 learned a painful lesson. If your approach is based on telling people what they want to hear, audiences might like it at first. They might gobble it up for decades. But you’ll have quietly lost their respect during that time, and in a key moment, they’ll tune you out.
Otherwise, a pretty good piece.
