Stelter asks, “what do we do about it?” First you have to correctly diagnose the problem. Blaming it on Trump’s tweets reveals just how delusional these people are. People do not trust the media because they lie. The internet has allowed people to discover these lies. Once your credibility is lost it is almost impossible to regain it. With the election of Trump media lies have only gotten worse. You can go back to William Randolph Hearst bragging about getting the U.S. into the Spanish-American War. NYT’s Walter Duranty’s coverage of the Ukrainian famine. Dan Rather and Stelter might try reading former CNN head Eason Jordan’s op-ed “The News We Kept to Ourselves”. Your solution: shut down the internet and reestablish your monopoly on information.
Buy stock in rope-manufacturing companies...
Stetler is a bottom of the barrel, lying scumbag.
Regarding Comeys testimony on Lynch.
Here is what CNN said about it:
“It won’t get much attention, but that was pretty damning,” said CNN’s John King of Comey’s testimony about Lynch. You can translate “it won’t get much attention” into “we won’t give it much attention.”
“People do not trust the media because they lie.”
I have long said that what the media must do is the one thing they cannot do: stop lying.
These idiots’ ratings numbers have been going down long before Trump threw his hat in the ring...they are delusional if they think they are respected.
Pssst, hey Media: We didn’t start hating your guts when Trump became President.
Funny how blind they are. We know they don’t just hate Trump, but they hate us too, every person who voted for Trump. Good luck with that CNN. You’ve passed off half the country. You’ll never be able to make for that.
Too funny.
I will probably shamelessly borrow that and post it everywhere.
I stole it off a twitter thread somewhere (maybe the one from this article).
Steal shamelessly!
