“Well, first, those of us who are in the media....we need to do a better job, we need to do our job. Our job is to bear witness, to be honest brokers of information. To be as accurate and fair as we possibly can.”

I can't stop laughing.

Dan Rather and crew are the biggest single reason.

And what do people need to understand about the value of the press?

We need to understand that every time the media says Trump or the GOP is doing something awful, Obama, Hillary and the DNC are already doing it.

In what universe does it make good sense, for a news organization, to ask Dan Rather, why people don’t trust the News people?

The richest irony of the story is the credibility of the newsies reporting about the VERY subject with a notoriously unreliable source. They are confused about how people perceive them so they ask DAN RATHER?

They are proving the reason for the pole numbers. LOL!

Also remember that Dan “what’s the frequency” Rather exaggerated/lied about being a Marine. He couldn’t finish basic training:

In their defense, when the media makes stuff up . . . it may be fake, but at least it’s accurate.

The media is caught regularly making things up!

Another thing- reporters are lazy so they will use any source to keep them from doing real work- they also copy each other which is bad enough. They pour over social media and use things they find to write what they claim to be news articles. We are all warned to be careful of the accuracy of information we see online, yet reporters use things they find on social media and questionable websites from completely unknown sources all the time. Facebook is like neighbors gossiping over the fence, but good enough for reporters even on serious news. That is why they so easily fall for hoaxes when something like a shooting happens and end up naming the wrong person or even a comedian as the shooter.

Dan Rather: “The document may be fake, but believe me the information is true” LOL Guy has some one create a fake document and gets busted, and then is the “Voice of reason” behind fake news?

Is this some devious plot by NBC to remind people that CBS is just as fake as they are? Or has John Semmens hacked into Savannah Guthrie’s teleprompter.

We are surprised it is only 47% who think the media makes up lies to tell us.
