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?

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.

Why do you think Joe and Mika weren't on the air today?

Because I don't have a TV.

Did you know that this guy here that you are quoting (lol) just recently agreed with a tweet calling every member of Congress who voted against a certain bill treasonous, and implied they should get the traditional punishment that traitors get?

Stunning hypocrisy, isn’t it? He’s just as bad as anybody he calls out.

So that guy is the Western Lensman.

I know about Lensmen, and few who are younger than me know about that too. Those books seem to have been lost in time.

Lensmen are from a hokey old science fiction series by EE Doc Smith. About as old as the Lost In Space TV series, except the Lensman series was 6 paper backed books.

Dreadful for adults they were. I liked them at about the same time I like the Edgar Rice Burroughs books when I was in middle school, when I was 12.

I thought you were against censorship? This is a case of voluntary censorship, which is very often done in countries that are being threatened by authoritarians. But you think this case of censorship is great because you don’t really care about censorship, you only care about partisan hit jobs which is GG’s specialty.

GG is a partisan hack and notorious liar. If he cared one bit about democracy - which he obviously doesn’t - he would be concerned that NBC would voluntarily censor a news show. All he cares about is his own personal grievance against media - which has rejected him at all levels and in every organization in which he has ever participated. That’s GG’s story.

It sounds like when the NYT cropped the flag out on their front page the day after the assassination attempt.

A broadcast engineer for the Trump-loving cable channel Newsmax behaved inappropriately with female guests, along with his own underling, without any repercussions from network bosses.

That’s according to an eye-popping lawsuitobtained by The Independent, which alleges John Belthoff has carried out “a campaign of severe and pervasive sexual harassment” enabled by the right-wing outlet.

Newsmax “created, and allowed to exist, a hostile work environment that allows supervisory male employees to sexually harass subordinate female employees,” the lawsuit states.

It further accuses Newsmax of having “aided and abetted” the improper conduct, claiming multiple guests on the network’s shows complained about being subjected to disturbing interactions with Belthoff.

In one instance described in the suit, Belthoff allegedly made a crude remark to a female guest while miking her for sound about “stick[ing] my whole fist up your shirt.”

In another off-color incident, Belthoff is accused of crudely offering to check a female guest for a hernia as he reached under her dress with a microphone prior to her going on the air.

“I have no comment,” Belthoff, 62, told The Independent in a brief phone conversation on Tuesday. “Thank you for calling.”……

Exclusive: The right-wing channel has “created, and allowed to exist, a hostile work environment” that lets sex pests operate with impunity, according to one former employee.
