I doubt most fake news pushers feel sad about their role. To the leftist ideologue, the end justifies the means. They are merely being good soldiers.

Brett Stephens is just another of the filthy Neo-Con cockroaches exposed when Trump flipped-on the kitchen light.

What caused you to excerpt your own material rather than posting the whole thing?

How sad an existence must it be to get up out of bed every morning believing that it is your job as an employee of CNN to intentionally mislead the American public?

Helen (No photos, please!) Thomas admitted that she woke up every morning thinking "Who do I hate today?"

CNN has become its own satirist.

I don’t care what network it is, it’s hard to decide if journalists are bigger whores than politicians or vice versa.

None of them are free. They all arrive at work and immediately drop to their knees before Carlos Slim or another Trump hater.

Hugely great read. Are you on Twitter as well?

They are “media organizations” who create “current-event-based programming/articles/stories” that combine entertainment, activism, and social media. Activists’ opinions and political tweets from 1000 miles away are as important to the story as an eye-witness since the stories are about agendas and reactions as much as events. And the events should be reported in a way that agrees with the opinions and tweets in a way that drives an agenda.

They haven’t even pretended to be “news organizations” with “journalists and reporters” since Dan Rather showed them that “FAKE but accurate” stories are more popular than “news” with a large section of their audience, and allow them to push an agenda on that audience without hiding it.

I’m sure they are happy about the transformation their organization have been through, and no longer needing to hide their agenda. With the internet these days, anyone can tell the news and report on events to the entire world. It takes a large, well-funded organization with lots of sources and contacts (real, anonymous, or made up) to push an agenda on the country - they can be proud of what they’ve built. They are probably sad that they can no longer grow their audience and push their agenda further.

To do otherwise, they'd be fired.

CNN IS SLIME.

Fake news and complainers are similar in that you can’t tell either one anything that will cause them to see anything differently.
Even lf would benefit their sanity.

Excellent take.

Thank you for posting it and thank you for posting the link to the blog. I bookmarked it.

Go, Trump!

Years ago there was a report that most news paper outlets get their daily talking points from what the NYT decides to print.
