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?

I wish I wasn’t reminded of that kid.

I’ll bet dollars to donuts that a lot of people didn’t remember who this kid was (people showed their arse on that kid).

For years, Donald Trump and Fox News were smitten.

The former president would call into the rightwing news channel seemingly whenever he liked. Fox News hosts pumped up every Trump utterance. Trump watched the channel religiously, and in 2019 alone he sent 657 tweets in response to Fox News or Fox Business programs.

Since then, however, things appear to have changed. Trump, as the New York Times has pointed out, has not been interviewed on Fox News for more than 100 days.

A recent Trump speech was largely ignored by the network, and in a sign that Fox News has recognized alternative Republican presidential candidates are available, a Mike Pence address was broadcast live, in its entirety.

With the news channel embroiled in a billion-dollar lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over its claims the voting machine company tampered with the 2020 election, Trump’s continuing lies about election fraud seem to have rattled Rupert Murdoch, the media titan who owns Fox News.

Two of Murdoch’s newspapers, the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, published scathing editorials on Trump in July, the former calling the twice-impeached 45th president “unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again” and the latter branding Trump “The President Who Stood Still on January 6”.

This week the Washington Post reported that Murdoch “has lost his enthusiasm” for Trump...........

Has the love affair between Trump and Fox News gone sour?

I wonder how much much of an influence this will be on the outcome of the primary

Two House Democrats cut ads for Liz Cheney in Wyoming

Two House Democrats are urging Wyoming Democrats to switch parties in the state’s upcoming primary to boost the chances of Rep. Liz Cheney (R), one of former President Trump’s primary targets…

thehill.com

“You might be a little surprised that I’d be supporting Liz Cheney in her bid to continue representing Wyoming in the U.S. House, but principle must always come before politics, and nobody has shown more honor, integrity and courage than she,” said Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) in a new ad.

“Liz Cheney and I don’t agree on everything,” said Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.) in his ad. “But we’re on the same side today fighting for a country where we settle our differences by voting, not violence.”

Interesting. Still hung up on crowd sizes.

The sad thing after buying donuts lately that doesn't apply any more. It is donuts to dollars now.

Yep and I certainly remember that kid and he certainly got filthy rich over all of that nonsense. He should be buying the donuts with NBC and CNN money

Trump appointed judge, but they don’t mention that, lol. So stupid. Also, now I guess it’d be okay to harass this particular judge?

I doubt it was that big of a settlement.

Obama Loving... sounds like an older phrase that ended in "loving".....

Are they playing the classics?

The tear is for the cost of donuts (and good donuts at that).

Agreed, the price of a good donut is crazy.

MSM has so far done a poor job with the story of the search of MAL

Good lord, how does that get on a major network? They are really a clown show, worse than I even thought they were.

It's much deeper than that - they're now fully bought into to the "deep-state" conspiracy because their audience is hooked on it. It's so sad and stupid and dangerous all at the same time.

 

[MT15]

So, MSM is asking the very sensational question - is there a “mole” at MAL? This implies that someone is “spying” on Trump and was placed there purposefully. When the reality is much more likely that someone became aware of the presence of the documents, realized the danger of having them there and decided to inform the FBI. It’s irresponsible and I heard it on a not-Trump-friendly show. They have to do better.

Source of the photo proving it was a bad photoshop job. When you see it larger it was clearly marked as a meme. They knew it was fake and did it anyway.
