And I think it begins by trying to instruct young conservatives in the canons of journalism, mainly, empirical verification, right? And this, I think, the distrusted institutions, that’s longstanding among conservatives, has led many of them to no longer believe in the idea that you need, kind of, evidence, in order to forward a fact. Or they don’t believe in certain verified sources, credentialed sources, of evidence or information. They don’t trust any of it.
And there it is...since conservative news doesn't trust the Times, Wapo, CNN, and every other FakeNews purveyor that also pretends to be neutral, conservative news is ipso facto wrong.
The stones on some people.
Fake News is going to be FAKE.
Well since they use confidential sources they must be trustworthy. How can you not trust the NY Times, CNN, Wapo, ect since they are reporting the same thing in the same wording from a confidential source it must be true.
I can cite chapter and verse of the LA Times, Boston Globe, NY Times, and other MAKING UP NEWS. FORGING or STAGING photos. CREATING quotes and witnesses out of thin air.
Dan Rather tried to influence the 2004 election with some forged National Guard memos faxed to him from a Democrat operative from Waco Texas.
He still insists that his conspiracy story is true even if the paperwork was exposed as a fraud.
HBO stood with him in his lie and called the teledrama about it Truth.
