The FAKE NEWS has hit a fever pitch lately.

The NYT will soon be living in a cardboard box in front of the NYT Building.

Looks like the Pizza Gazette-NY #FakeNews takes another gut-punch to their "credibility"...

I wonder whether this is sloppy reporting from random trolls, or whether this is Russia hacking our free press. I blame the Russians.
[Note to the NYT staffer lurking on this thread: You can quote me on Russia, and I’ll stand behind my story with all the loyalty your paper shows to America, perhaps even with the trustworthiness of Lucy holding a football for Charlie Brown to kick.]

I wonder if we will see the day when the national MSM is held to account for it’s sins, and a return of journalistic integrity?
All that is really is a sense of conscience - a self-imposed discpline to report fairly and honestly, the same ethics that good parents try to instill in their children. And just like the kid who ignores that teaching and ends up in prison, so has the MSM been the cause of its own demise.

The reason the MSM is trying to kill the term “Fake News” is that almost all samples are from them.

Remember how the democrats and MSM were screaming for a fairness doctrine? Now is the time to give them one. Do it in a way that every broadcast, every article, every show is regulated to a point to where either the truth is told, or the fine and loss of license is too great for them to operate.

That the Energy Department has ANYTHING to do with nuclear weapons is a travesty.

I am worried that they will have cried wolf so many times that no one will believe them and that will be when we need to believe them.
They have been bias as far back as I can remember. Heck, their misrepresentation of Communism during the Cold War was obvious (hindsight is 20-20). The Communists were indeed evil yet the media always seemed to be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

But the NYT said they were going to report honestly?
I guess they are like Hillary......they never give up an opportunity to lie if they think it will advance their agenda.

The success of especially Breitbart.com has finally forced people to realize that the MSM is essentially the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. And this could finally mean the end of mass media as Alvin Toffler prophesized 36 years ago when he wrote The Third Wave.

I do. I was thinking about that the other day.
I’d prefer the public let the parent companies know how they feel instead of regulations. Parent companies include: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner, and somewhat Amazon. These companies are effectively pissing on half the Country, and in my opinion, don’t deserve to be patronized for it.
Regarding PBS, it should be either dissolved or required to demonstrate equitable content and opinion. Currently, it doesn’t.

It's now funny to me when the NYT, WaPo, CNN, et.al. get nailed for pooping in the Hallowed Halls of Journalism and then try to pass a lame excuse to avoid responsibility. A good mocking and large amount of ridicule seems like therapy to me.
I'm also sure they are very sorry for pointing out Fake News using that moniker.

What's interesting is that they're expanding, adding foreign bureaus and such, while the rest of the MSM is contracting. I was pleasantly surprised to read that according to Alexa, their web traffic is now higher than the Washington Post, NY Times, Fox News and the Huffington Post.

Folks on our side neutered a number of attempts to denigrate us with titles this last 20 months or so.
Hillary called us deplorables. We instantly wore the title like a sport coat and were proud of it. It signified the loyal opposition to the Leftists.
You mentioned fake news. They tried to pin that one on us, and we didn’t bat an eye-lash. We just started calling them on it every time they published fake news. All of a sudden, it wasn’t a very happy moment for them. LOL
I’m sure there are other examples.
Our side finally came alive and shoved everything back in their faces.
