It feels like old times. In the wake of the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, the mainstream media are in a feeding frenzy the likes of which we haven’t seen since he exited the White House. The usual suspects, like The New York Times and Washington Post, which spent the four years of Trump’s presidency consistently and spectacularly beclowning themselves, are at it again.
Dare we say that it has “all the hallmarks” of media incompetence?
Take The Washington Post: Using its signature anonymous single-source style, it broke the alleged news that Trump was in possession of documents “related to nuclear weapons.” What exactly does that mean? Honestly, based on Post’s coverage of Russiagate, when so many “bombshells” fizzled when the details emerged, you have to wonder if it’s the White House pastry chef’s recipe for nuclear chocolate cake.
The Times, meanwhile, informs us that Trump sought to send a secret message to Attorney General Merrick Garland, this according to — wait for it — “a person familiar with the exchange.” A person. This is basically the journalistic equivalent of “My cousin’s girlfriend knows a guy.”
Could these juicy details rushed into print turn out to be true? Maybe. Do the American people have good reason to believe they aren’t true given the recent track record of the liberal press? Absolutely.
After all, we watched these selfsame media treat the farcical Steele dossier like it was the fifth gospel and spend years clinging to the Russian-collusion hoax. We watched them not only bury the Hunter Biden laptop story just days before the 2020 election but smear the journalists who broke that very real story as dupes promoting Russian disinformation.
For seven years every story, big and small, has been treated like it might be the one that finally

Anymore? If one ever trusted the media, that person is a useful idiot.
And this is surprising because....?

What do you expect. Thats what happens when President Trump trolls them with impunity.
It drives them raving mad.And watching them become simple jingoistic clown Comic Books posing as real Journalism is beyond entertaining. Both WAPO and the NYT are reduced to less than tabloids.
I laugh hard every day and after each new Presidential Troll, its like watching these publications repeatedly kick a hornets nest every day.
OH THE STING!( LOL).
They unravel like balls of yarn and pay millions to do it!
Printing gossip from the Georgetown cocktail circuit.
They will indict Trump, likely convict him of something they know will never stand up. But all they need is to prevent him from running again and mission accomplished. The left and their assistants are the spawn of satan.
Exactly what they did to Ted Stevens, to get their 60 in the Senate.
Only requirement is over 35 years old, born in the USA and resident for 14 years....doesn’t say anything else in the Constitution.
“But all they need is to prevent him from running again and mission accomplished.”
An arrest, indictment, conviction, or whatever does not prevent him from running for President. They might SAY it does, and people who are clueless about the Constitution might believe it, but it doesn’t.
More like media malfeasance.
It has never stopped.
It’s propaganda and it works.
Many many people still trust it. It came up on my laptap automatically when I turned it on. Had a heck of a time
figuring out how to get that to stop. It comes up every half hour on the radio....constant brainwashing.
The left succeeded in getting control of it and labeling it mainstream. If you question it, you are an extremist.
The press threw away their credibility ... they were fools.
That’s why we have to counter these stories wherever we see them. Post correct info on FB or Twitter or NextDoor or YouTube. Ppl aren’t getting the whole story or correct context from the media so it’s up to us to provide it.
NO!!!
This is not "incompetence". Big Media know exactly what they're doing. The half-truths, distortions of the truth, and outright fabrications which constitute the entirety of their output are deliberate malfeasance.
Nora odonnell at cbs looks like a fool this morning but what she said about the passports was likely true. She waited until after 2 pm to make that tweet . Maybe more people will wake up to the fact that you have to parse what is being said. Instead..people ran with the idea that trump was lying when he said the FBI took his passports
Joe Biden is the invisible and rapidly shrinking president. I know he “has Covid again” but Joe has quickly dropped from much of the news cycle just as Donald Trump has resumed his domination of it.
The media sucking up to the democrat party are clueless they are the mine mule.
the FBI took them and the DOJ has given them back the PDJT
