Tell this asshat to read news from 1863.
That is news.
This asshats slanted bias is rubbish.
The Press lying is the second oldest profession.
1863? LOL! I got some “news” for ya. There was massive massive propaganda masquerading as “news” back then too.
The tyrant Lincoln was using the army to shut down opposition press starting in 1861. In May 1861 the New York Journal of Commerce published a list of 100 Northern newspapers that opposed the Lincoln administration. Lincoln ordered the Postmaster General and the army to shut them all down.
May 18, 1864, Lincoln order that directly issued to General John Dix: “You will take possession by military force, of the printing establishments of the New York World and Journal of Commerce . . . and prohibit any further publication thereof . . . you are therefore commanded forthwith to arrest and imprison . . . the editors, proprietors and publishers of the aforesaid.”
So much for the first amendment.
There was plenty of bad journalism back then, too. Highly partisan and nasty. After the War Between the States and Lincoln’s assassination, they solemnly swore to reform themselves. Which worked for a few decades, then slowly they fell back on their natural inclination. Maybe by the time that FDR came along, journos became monolithic and never heard voices outside their circle jerk. Wm. F. Buckley, et al., became brave voices in the wilderness, culminating in Rush Limbaugh and his band of merry dissenters, culminating in the old FNC. And then the legacy press struck back, becoming so dogmatic, partisan and venal that they were scary, and FNC became squishy and Rush died, and now here we are, with smartphone journalists and vloggers, a brave and energetic new reform movement.
