Riiight .. now pull the other one, Mike
not only no... but fk no!! js...
Agree 100%
Of course, the media never lied prior to the election of Donald Trump.
No.
They’re the little boy who cried wolf.
“Does the Media Deserve to Be Respected and Believed?”
The answer to the title question is an unequivocal YES!
I’ve run into two nitwits in my life that believe if it is printed it is the truth. Josef Goebbels and others in his profession have known this since the first first Gutenberg press.
Add to this the totally ignorant and the useful idiots and we now have people like obama getting second terms and Hitlery coming close to being elected.
My point is, nearly half of America believe the media deserves to be respected and believed.
Is this the behavior of a press that deserves to be respected and believed?
_________________________________________
Nope. It’s behavior that needs to be destroyed.
That ship has already sailed... many years ago. We all have experiences with the MSM and it has been clear to me for 30 years that the MSM has little desire to be objective. At each turn, I kept hoping that the MSM would right itself and it never happened. So, the answer is NO!
Well, if the lawyer for those Covington kids is serious, the media and celebrities are going to get a lesson that yes, there are consequences, hopefully bankrupting consequences, for behavior that has been going on for far too long.
If the media announced that today the sun rose in the east and the sky was clear and blue, I would not believe them without independent verification. That is how much I believe the media.
The easy answer is this, say you have 6 friends that you are supposed to trust to tell you the truth, and they lie to you all the time, about everything. Do you still trust a damn thing they say, and do you still keep them as friends?
No. Never has.
No.
I’ve always been of the opinion that the media and politicians are just people.
No better or worse than anyone else and subject to the same bias - often the term bias is just the way they hide blatant promotion and propaganda of their own views.
They deserve no more credence than any other person and in fact should be held to a higher standard since they are supposed to be holding to some type of journalistic code.
NO!!
Keep digging, media in particular and liberals in general. Sooner or later the hole will cave in on y’all.
