Not if you’re a follower of Marshall Applewhite.
Then this just fuels your desire to put on a purple gown, O.D. on barbiturates and catch the next alien spacecraft to Clarkston.
It’s ironic that the same crowd who published the Fake Dossier also published the fake subornation of perjury story. This is how the Left rolls. It is all about the ends justifies the means. It is how totalitarian regimes consolidate their power. If it continues, America is in for some turbulent times.
Good one! LOL!
But modern urinalism was starting to gain a foothold. While I was a commuter student who lived some distance off campus and would actually interview people in the community for stories, there were more than a few who would interview other urinalists and refer to them as reliable but unnamed sources.
Their best talent was self-promotion and their short term goal was getting drunk, getting laid or both the following weekend. I saw it up close and personal.
“How this whole Mueller investigation ultimately plays out is anyone’s guess, anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. “
I was thinking of Mueller. Great move on his part to gain Trump’s mention. I think this move makes Mueller look fair in his assessment of Trump. Was Mueller setting a trap? Was this latest fake news debacle intended to push Trump into Mueller’s path, maybe answering some questions?
Or was this an elaborate plan by the rats to take attention away from 800,000 furloughed federal workers.
In the late 1950s grade school we were taught about the Communist-controlled press, like Pravda, in the Soviet Union.
A few years later there were signs that the fifth-column leftist media, uncluding “Uncle Walter,” had started to rise in the U.S. with their coverup of the corrupt Kennedy crime clan.
The lie was picked up and broadcast throughout the world. There were no retractions. This is what they do. They know danmed well that the deliberate lie will be believed, talked about, chiseled in concrete, and enshrined in history as absolute truth.
They accomplished what they set out to do.
the media is the deep state
No, one said, "... we've seen documents.."; period.
NOTHING was 'said' about the CONTENT of those 'documents'.
Nay....Mueller was covering his ass.
Buzzfeed sources most likely are in mueller team and that would be a real problem when, not if, that went public....
Only they would have the information Buzzfeed was pimping...
Even if true it would STILL be
He said...She said.
Or did Trump’s folks plant the story...knowing the media would predictably go nutsoid and soil themselves yet again? One wonders?
Even if it’s true that Cohen said he was told to lie, it would still be ...He said...She said.
I was also a journalism major at a state university back in the mid 70s (everyone wanted to be Woodward & Bernstein). And I remember being taught to verify and cross-check stories. No stories run without two, independent, known sources corroborating each other.
But, one of my professors told a story about how he had been a reporter for a DC paper. He and a colleague got a great story from one source. The couldn't verify, so they wrote it anyway and took it to their editor - who turned it down cold. After trying some more to find another source, one of the reporters turned to the other and asked him about the story. They then listed this as a "source close to the White House" (the newsroom was about 3 blocks from the WH) and the editor bought it.
The moral is that there has never been an actual, enforceable code of ethics for Journalism. That is why it remains a job and not a profession. Almost all of today's journalists are editorial hacks or worse. I am now finishing a 36 year career as a CPA. We have a code of ethics and are a profession (doesn't mean all CPAs are good or honest, but we have a way to enforce the code if we catch 'em).
“Or did Trump’s folks plant the story...knowing the media would predictably go nutsoid and soil themselves yet again? One wonders?”
It’s possible. This was too convenient a story right when we are talking about the most important issue our country faces.
The one and only.
“the media is the deep state”
The media is the enemy. There, fixed it.
