Aol,and others also report fake news over and over as if they want to brainwash their subscribers.
The problem with the media is they believe their own BS. Never believe your own BS.
Nicely phrased. Do they teach this in journalism school these days?
Sharyl Attkisson even tried it at CBS.
That's the problem: their job DOESN'T depend on factual accuracy at all.
Yup.
The media is WILDLY partisan. Way, way, way to one side.
Trump nailed it.
By any objective criteria, the MSM has been inherently and openly hostile to Trump and were openly biased in favor of Hillary Clinton and Democrats. No rational person, whatever their politics, can view them as “independent journalists”. However history has shown that the persistent barrage of unopposed propaganda does have an effect on the masses. It has been messy at times, but it is very important for Trump to fight back and periodically go on the offensive against theses biased organizations.
This approach is exactly what turned George W. Bush into a national laughingstock and ruined his presidency (same as his father). Amazingly, little brother Jeb doubled down on the "nice guy" approach during his cringe-worthy presidential run and got utterly destroyed.
Mitt Romney and John McCain took the same "high road" approach against Obama during their campaigns and they got clobbered as well. The Democrats play for keeps and if Republicans are going to be patsies, they will lose every time.
Even more sadly, you have the Bushes, Romney and McCain still licking the boots of the Democrats that mastered them. They are all in full Patty Hearst Stockholm Syndrome mode.
Donald Trump took a combative take-no-prisoners approach and not only did he win but he's still winning.
“An industry of people whose jobs depend on presenting factually accurate information about whats happening in the world.”
Does Bump actually believe that, or does he know the deceit of it? Either way, he demonstrates he either doesn’t know or doesn’t want the truth.
So many truths are intolerable to proggies.
You have to admit there is usually a grain of truth in what the media reports.
The media has been hunting for a scandal on Trump ... they dug up the wrong tree ...
They’ve got a ready made one now... right under their biased noses ... with hillary and obama... and all who participated with those 2 corrupt individuals.
Surely, they will jump right on it with the same enthusiasm they did with Trump. (*sarcasm alert*)
So, this reporter gets the factual information wrong in the second sentence of his article.
In fact, according to what James O’Keefe and Project Veritas have recorded, the jobs of the so-called “news media” depend on them being political hacks.
I wish this article had linked to the Project Veritas stuff.
Somebody should ask him if he’s seen the Project Veritas exposes, or read any of Podesta’s emails. And if not, why not.
An industry of people whose jobs depend on presenting factually accurate information about whats happening in the world
They really believe that.
Sad (for them and us)
“You have to admit there is usually a grain of truth in what the media reports.”
There’s a needle in the haystack, too.
To quote Dave Burge at Iowahawkblog “Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.”
Simply put-—if Hillary and Obama spelled their last names with the letter (R) the ONLY subject being covered by the “drive-by” media would be the corruption of the (R) world.
24/7 on every channel, not just the cable group. Every radio station. Every newspaper page printed with ads removed to make room for the latest “SCOOP”.
Amazing the difference one little letter (R) can make.
