If you have nothing going on and 10 hours to spare, you should still find something to do other than read the tragically long article in the Columbia Journalism Review that bills itself as a reckoning for the appalling misconduct of the news media during the Trump years. It’s too little and about six years too late for that trash.
Mummified legend Bob Woodward is quoted in the piece, authored this week by former New York Times journalist Jeff Gerth, urging newsrooms to “walk down the painful road of introspection.” Gerth himself says “news outlets and watchdogs haven’t been as forthright in examining their own Trump-Russia coverage.” He ticks through a series of prominent writers and editors who “declined to comment” on his exhausting attempt at serious — very, very serious — media accountability.

Many still report the Russian Trump collusion lie as the truth, and they still report any and every accusation against Trump as gospel while they cover up the evil deeds of their partners in crime, the democrats..
In the words of Harry Reid, “It worked, didn’t it?” Trump does not reside in what was once the White House, which now serves as the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Memory Care Unit.
Another article from today at The Federalist by Margot Cleveland.
“The NYT’s reliance on a quote from Stefan Halper’s attorney to make its case is so laughable, Americans should disregard the entire article.”
They do far more harm than good
That’s what libtards do
“Columbia Journalism Dean and New Yorker writer Steve Coll decried how the First Amendment right to freedom of speech was being “weaponized” to protect disinformation. In an interview with The Stanford Daily, Stanford journalism professor, Ted Glasser, insisted that journalism needed to “free itself from this notion of objectivity to develop a sense of social justice.” He rejected the notion that journalism is based on objectivity and said that he views “journalists as activists because journalism at its best — and indeed history at its best — is all about morality.” Thus, “Journalists need to be overt and candid advocates for social justice, and it’s hard to do that under the constraints of objectivity.”

Now do the 2020 election steal.

When the evils of these malicious multinationals are recognized, only then will change be possible.
Journalists and Democrat/RINO politicians have one thing in common. They are lying scum with my most sincere apologies to scum.
Even as we see what happened and is happening now, many of us continue to patronize the companies that hate us.
We look at everyone else as a sign that we're in the "last days", but have we looked at ourselves?
Columbia’s dean of journalism stated, “Journalists need to be overt and candid advocates for social justice, and it’s hard to do that under the constraints of objectivity.”
Another leftist promoting the elimination of standards. Without standards journalism isn’t a profession, it is at best an occupation. To the extent it is deliberately used as a weapon for destruction it becomes a criminal activity.
The destruction of standards by leftists assaulting our culture is having the effect of corrupting every institution and erasing civilization. Without standards there can be no measure of performance. Without standards there can be no virtue. Without standards humans can have no relationship with God. Without standards civilization collapses and humanity descends into savagery.
The left’s assault on culture and the ongoing weaponization of captured institutions against individuals is a manifestation of savagery. There can be no justice in the “social justice” movement because there are no standards. Social justice is a rallying cry for barbarians intent on ruthlessly employing power arbitrarily to destroy western civilization.
The time for introspection was in 2007 when the mask fully slipped and the corporate media dropped all pretense of objectivity. They just got down on their knees and serviced Obama in front of God and everyone. You couldn’t have pried their lips away from his shorts with a crobar. They continued it for the next 9 years.
By the time Trump came along, they were already fully out in the open as being nothing more than the propaganda arm of the Democrat party. That’s why the corporate media is steadily dying while alternative media is exploding. Nobody other than committed Democrats trusts or believes the corporate media anymore.
THE FAKE MEDIA IS AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.
