As astonishingly false as these anti-Trump stories often are, I know several liberals who eat them up; believing every word. I suppose that is why these not-credible stories keep getting written. There is an audience ready and waiting for them.

We all tend to focus on BS from WaPo and the NYT but Politico is every bit as bad.

Politico did not issue a formal correction, as standard journalistic good practice

That's because Politico is not a journalistic organization!!!

“Journalistic good practice” ended many years ago.

With the threats to advertising revenue, the new business model is clickbait and innuendo in order to provide the designated audience with what it wants to hear.

To issue a formal correction, clearly stated in a very obvious place, when one has made an error, is not merely standard journalistic good practice. It is fundamental to a commitment to truth, respect for truth, and basic honesty and integrity.

Truthfully informing the public is the only true purpose of journalism.

Scorn of truth--truth for its own sake--is the evil most fundamental to the decadence of Western Civilisation.

Breitbart is often biased and uncritical, but they don’t just plain make sh*t up. That puts them in top tier ahead of the biggies such as the NYT and Wapo, let alone Politico.

We must owe trillions to China, since they buy up the debt from all the money that gets printed. Politico must be deflecting.
