Long article but a good story about where the media is today, how it got there and why they're full of sh*t when it comes to Trump.

The Tablet - my mind is blanking. Can you tell me what it is? A NYC publication?

The press died long before Trump.

I believe it’s a NYC Jewish publication. The writer is a former writer for the Village Voice. He’s not a Trump supporter per se but he knows b.s. when he smells it.

They complain about not knowing about Trump’s Russian contacts but ignore Obama’s history. That’s how we got to where we are with the press.

Ok. Amusingly, The Brooklyn Tablet was, and may still be, a Catholic publication.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I was thinking about you! A nut called “vekzen” cursed me out on my private email here and Jim tossed him out (may Allah and Jim be praised!) I seem to lure all the crazies to my side, lol!

I followed a link in another article. i first thought it was the British Tablet which was also a Catholic Paper. They carried correspondence by Newman and Chesterton back when people could actually write. To some extent I guess the Brits still can, at least when compared to us.

That's a big part of his thesis.

I prefer to read posts from people who actually read the article on the thread.

The American press killed its own credibility long before Trump started campaigning for president.

The only thing that changed is that Trump called them out (actually Palin was busy doing that before Trump).

The Brooklyn Tablet is where I went to find out what Sophia Loren 60s movie had been Condemned or rated “B” as Morally Objectionable in Part! How I loved those ratings.

the Death of the American Press

It doesn't have to be the "Death of the American Press". They just need to go back to reporting the FACTS, not fabricating them.

Once upon a time the most trusted man in America was Walter Cronkite from CBS News.

One day, maybe someone will remember all the good that Sarah did as an American. In some ways, she’s a modern day Joe McCarthy - reviled by the left but one of the saviors of America. And she is not only hated by the left but by the elite right (Krauthammer, I mean you!) and, sadly, some Freepers.

Hi! I don’t mind being attacked and pilloried on the public forums - happened all weekend, lol! But when you come to my private email and curse me out - well, I’m not going to take that lying down. Jim is a scholar and a gentleman.
