The legacy media may not have an obligation to spend ink on this or that political scandal, but damn them for reporting the Biden affair as fake. That among countless instances where what they choose to report is woefully inaccurate and/or perverted to fit the leftist narrative. F’em like the f themselves.

The Steele dossier was fake, but they pushed it like it was verified.

Hunter’s laptop was real, but they dismissed it as Russian disinformation.

Government and media working together to lie to the American people.

Not “entirely” trustworthy?? Try not trustworthy AT ALL.

The WaPo is depraved and an enemy of America. But give them this, they found a way to get people to pay for them to create propaganda that poisons their readers lives and destroys America. They’re clever.

The mainstream media have been a propaganda tool for years.

It never bothered them when they lost tons of money on the process. They weren’t designed to be profitable businesses; they are simply part of the cost of running a political machine.

What’s starting to bother them now is the realization that you can’t be an effective propaganda tool if nobody believes you.

“aren’t entirely trustworthy”

He still doesn’t get it. He still thinks that there is any aspect of trustworthiness left in the media and there’s not. The phrase “not entirely trustworthy” implies that, well... sometimes they can be trusted... NOPE!!! And it’s clear to me that they’re beyond reform. They have absolutely poisoned the well and it will take Generations to fix.

She writes: “In fact, we in the mainstream have been so busy denouncing ‘fake news’ that we failed to notice we’re developing a wee disinformation problem of our own...”

OMG, a “wee” disinformation problem? You “in the mainstream” are 80% propaganda. That’s not a “wee” problem. You’ve utterly destroyed your credibility.

And notice of course, as is the modus operandi of the Left loons, they accept zero personal responsibility and it’s always someone else’s fault: “much of which has stemmed, ironically, from our efforts to fight disinformation on the right,”

“Fake news reporting on fake news while not chatting about Hunter’s crimes. Progress.”

I beleive that this is among the first examples of meta fake news.

And even if the emails were real, they may have been obtained illegally - can’t have that!"

Now THAT is quite an about-face from the old "Pentagon Papers" days ...

Have they reported on it yet? Of course not, deny, deny, deny until proven true and then it is old news.

Hunter’s laptop doesn’t scratch the surface. What about election fraud, racist terrorism, crime, drugs poring through our southern border, corrupt politicians, hate crimes against white Americans, cancel culture...the list is endless.

Softball, barely critical, goofy analysis pretending to take a serious look at their problems, from the WaPo.

They knowingly lied and gleefully censored information to influence a Presidential election in the direction they wanted, and she frets very mildly that the people who see through their lies might have picked up a talking point about it.

These big media outlets are the public relations arm of the Democrat Party. Now that it has become obvious, a few employees who want to pretend to be journalists are trying to hide that fact.
