I figured we needed a thread specifically about the media.

There was a very big correction recently by the Washington Post.


That story was supposedly "independently confirmed" by CNN, NBC News, USA Today, ABC News, & PBS News Hour. How could they all have gotten the quote wrong if they actually independently confirmed the story?






Why do all the errors always go in one political direction and not closer to 50/50?

So completely in the bag for Trump that you won’t acknowledge his own violent rhetoric. It’s really sad, and should be embarrassing.

Trump has spent 8 years demonizing democrats. With the gleeful accompaniment of his toadies. But you can just memory-hole all that to throw blame at Democrats for a crime committed by a Republican against the Republican candidate for president.

Nobody is buying your shirt in here.

There is no logic to this with him.

A republican shoots a Republican.

SFL - Democrats inciteful rhetoric is to blame.

It's interesting to see him struggling with this so much in real time.

Sometimes removing articles is for the best.

Yep, but it's the libs and Democrats who play identity politics and the race card.

It's the adults in the room getting involved, stepping back, and saying "maybe talking in loose terms about 'existential threat to democracy' and treating politics like entertainment was wrong," that "the stakes are extremely high and real now, and maybe we need to get more serious about how we convey the news to our audience."

I had no idea he wasn't on the air today.

Maybe he had a colonoscopy scheduled for this morning, that's something which he would have to do, if he had to do it, which would eclipse his regularly scheduled morning show time.

And they couldn't hardly mention what it was, if it was that on TV.

Those things are not minor procedures, they are traumatic events.

Let me see if I got your theses correct, you say we now have what your side has had for a long time.

It seems you're complaining about the unfairness of that.

Gee, I don't know. Have you tried the weep locker?

Well you would be considered Blue Anon based on your denial of Biden's condition.

Interesting.

I'm pleased you're filling us in with the latest GOP party news.

Why I remember Joe Scarabrow back when he was a Republican Congress Critter. That was long before he turned into a Never Trump - Independent, kind of Republican. Hates MAGA Republicans.

A man without a party. Independent means 'no party.'

I don't understand why you posted that.

I didn't understand it at all, and I would think folks who do have and watch TV would at least be somewhat confused by it as well.

Without knowing who that was talking about I wasn't able to make heads or tails of that mess. It would make a great Trivial Pursuit question.

That's a game I always lose. I don't know the trivia, and I never will.

I'll never be good at Scrabble either. And they won't allow me to use the foreign words I know.

Hate to break it to you kiddo, Morning Joe will be back and he will be allowed to keep calling out Trump.

And still, they chose to report the news, as they have done so many times during actual news events before your Twitter Mafia decided to pounce.
