Blow away the media!!!
Posted on 06/11/2017 4:06:21 PM PDT by ForYourChildren
In one of the last segments on Sunday’s Reliable Sources, CNN host Brian Stelter spent nearly four and half minutes whining about the public, specifically Trump supporters, who don’t believe the news media. “If you don't believe the ‘media,’ then you probably don't believe that the Trump administration has had a dysfunctional few months,” he chided at the start of the segment. “If you don't believe the ‘media,’ you might not believe Russia's meddling in last year's election is a very big deal.”
Stelter admitted that the distrust in media started long before President Trump, but he rested its current state at Trump’s feet. “And the President feeds that inherent distrust with tweets like this. Here he is this morning saying: ‘The fake news MSM doesn’t report the great economic news since Election Day,’” he read from a cheery picked tweet. He then pointed to a poll to show “how this anti-media rhetoric is having a real effect:”
"A new Quinnipiac poll shows that more than half the country, 52 percent, believes Trump has changed attitudes towards the news media for the worse. 22 percent say he’s changed attitudes for the better. And 20 percent say he hasn't had an impact."
He then brought on political analyst Jeff Greenfield to confer, asking him: “How corrosive has this antimedia campaign been, do you think?”
Greenfield thought it was “the singular political success” Trump had had since being elected president of the United States. “I think that has served that relentless campaign on Twitter and in his comments, fake news, fake news, fake news has been to convince that group of people that there is no such thing as a set of facts independent of your politics,” he complained. “And that has certainly served to continue and accelerate what you've talked about as a long process of declining trust in news.”
Stelter described any and all discussion of the press’s dishonesty as “venom” and called it “the story of the decade in media.” And he didn’t know how to solve the problem of an aware public. “It's kind of like Sisyphus. You got to roll that stone up the hill,” Greenfield explained, saying that eventually, people might come around.

Blow away the media!!!
CNN = Comey (very fake) News Network
Haven’t heard such a misplaced plea for pity since the Menendez brothers sought pity as orphans, after brutally murdering their adoptive parents.
YOU said it.. a perfect description of them. A PLAGUE of “LOCUST”!
I may use that fine, fitting term!
Do they really think only Trump and the Right are guilty of this and NOT themselves? Because if so, they are delusional!
It is LOL!
Don’t worry, CNN. ISIS still loves you.
It seems that at no point does he examine behaviors of CNN that have been unfair. He behaves entirely under the premise that CNN has done nothing wrong. I don’t know if that is intentional or if it is pure narcissism.
Don’t feed the trolls. Give up cable.
The news media abdicated their throne gradually for the past 40 years, preferring to be a DNC mouthpiece rather than a honest inquisitor of truth. In 2008, they decided to protect Obama at all cost and in 2016, they threw off the last or their clothes to reveal their all-out naked endorsement for Hillary. They lied and defamed with reckless disregard for the truth.
They are as dead as a stomped cockroach and, like the roach, they just haven’t figured that out yet.
Journalism 101. Five W’s and an H.
What happened?
Who was involved?
Where did it take place?
When did it take place?
Why did that happen?
How did it happen?
That’s all there is. The Main Stream Media has forgotten that the purpose of Journalism is to tell the truth, not spin it for their masters.
In the case of newspapers the headline is what is spun, and the actual story is hidden or obscured by fake journalism. They depend upon people not actually reading the news story.
In the case of the MSM, they just spin and spin. When their finish, they spin again. That’s the reason they are adamant about getting Trump to quit tweeting. They know he is talking around them directly to the American public.
Distrust?
Try loathng, total lack of eespect, revulsion, and total hate.
Watch your back, buttwipes.
A whole lot of us, who by the way are way way smarter and more tech savvy, are on your six.
“The ironic part is that CNN tried to start this Fake News meme as a way to discredit Conservative media. Now the Fake News label is firmly associated with the mainstream media and CNN in particular.”
Yea, it is so delicious it leaves a sweet taste on my mouth.
CNN #FAKENEWS
CNN #FAKEAMERICANS
CNN EARNED the title of FAKE NEWS.
They are about as dumb as a box of rocks. They spin small parts of an event and we can see the whole thing on you-tube and draw our own conclusions. Then we compare what you say about it and wham. your sounds like fake news.
Story of the decade? LOL.
RICHARD M. COHAN, Senior Producer of CBS political news said: “We are going to impose OUR AGENDA on the coverage by dealing with issues and subjects that WE choose to deal with.”
RICHARD SALANT, former President of CBS News stated: “Our job is to give people not what they want, but what WE decide they ought to have.”
John Swinton, the former Chief of Staff for the New York Times.
John was asked in 1953 to give a toast before the New York Press Club.
Or people might go all Kathy Griffin on you...
Executive summary: It’s Trump’s fault that we hate him so much that we make up crap to hurt him.
“I was claiming to be an impartial journalist well I would regularly be trying to push my conservative views, I would know I was being dishonest.”
Conservative journalists push conservative views by telling the truth.
Leftist journalists can only push leftist views by lying.
CNN sucks - this is just more proof of that...
