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?

He was very specific. He just couldn't find anything at all to prove his point lol

How does Berliner supposedly know 87 people’s political affiliations? He offers zero proof, nor any method he could have found out. His point sailed right over your head, obviously. Not the first time, won’t be the last.

Fox backs down after threat of defamation suit by Hunter Biden.

This is not good at all.

I'm not surprised

Do you know what the word “expunged” means?

You’re the person with their panties in a wad about privacy. How did the GOP find out about an expunged arrest? Do you think her privacy may have been possibly violated? Did they use illegal means to get that information?

You are being such a hypocrite. You don’t care one bit about anything you complain about (endlessly) on here for the principle of it. You only care which team you can try to smear. You blissfully ignore any law breaking done by anyone in the GOP, yet you breathlessly run here to publish any smear you can find for democrats. Nobody is fooled by you any longer, nobody thinks you’re a serious poster here.

You should actually be ashamed of yourself, but I see no evidence you are capable of it.

ETA: 6 days later and no comment on the GOP airing an expunged arrest. Typical.

Listen to someone who has escaped from the cult.

 

[MT15]

Like shooting fish in a barrel to document Fox lies.

 

[MT15]

No comment needed.

SFL: still no comment on how the GOP got hold of an expunged arrest? No comment at all on this obvious breach of confidentiality? Just crickets?

But, OMG somebody looked at his watch and somebody else got it wrong in her book. Heavens to Betsy, sound the alarm!!!!!

 

[MT15]

Still waiting on why SFL was so proud to expose an expunged arrest. He who supposedly cares so much about privacy that he proudly violated a woman’s privacy on here. I guess it depends on whose privacy right? Her privacy doesn’t count, clearly.

Crickets.

Got this off social media. Can’t say for sure it’s correct, but the wild crowd exaggerations are still being repeated today by the Speaker of the House and others. Media just has to be better about repeating MAGA lies.


‘Last weekend as crowds gathered for a Trump rally on the beach in Wildwood, New Jersey. Lisa Fagan who was spokesperson for Wildwood said that the venue for the MAGA event held around a maximum of 20,000 people. This was followed by the MAGA Mayor of Wildwood inexplicably saying the area would be able to hold 40,000 rabid Trump cult members. Not satisfied with a potential crowd of 40, 000 that was more than double what the area could hold, a Trump spokesman said 80,000 was expected. As the area that holds only 10,000 filled up, Trump spokespeople went to an AP reporter know for taking their word for whatever they or Trump says with no pushback and pointed to the rapidly filling space and said “look we have 80,000- 100,000 MAGA’s. The whole area is filled up.” The AP reported the figure and most all other main stream media repeated the wildly exaggerated attendance.

This is a great example how Trump/MAGA gets away with telling lies that get amplified by major media reporters that are either too lazy or corrupt to tell the truth instead of taking the word of Donald Trump or his staff. And the sad fact is Donald Trump knows his lies will not be challenged. After all they are too busy amplifying every Trump/ MAGA untruth about Joe Biden to hold the Trump campaign responsible. But the Trump team did not just stop by claiming there were between 80-90,000 more people at the rally than were actually there. Supporters like Roger Stone posted photos from a Rod Stewart concert in Rio in 1994 and claimed it was the New Jersey concert when it was clearly not even the same beach or same country.

But when Trump took the stage he was not happy with just deceiving main stream media like he always does. Trump doubled down and insulted New Jersey hero Bruce Springsteen. Trump called Bruce a ’wacko’ and said his crowds were bigger and he was “more popular” than Springsteen in New Jersey. One thing the lazy AP and other reporters did not report on was that as soon as Trump began insulting Bruce Springsteen. The New Jersey MAGA’s headed for the exits. Apparently insulting Springsteen is too much for New Jersey MAGA’s.

We are never going to stop the untruths, exaggerations and outright lies from Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans. Their entire political philosophy is based on lies such as the “2020 election was stolen” and Jan 6 was “just another tourist visit at the Capitol.” The head of the MAGA/GOP Donald Trump told over 40,000 demonstrable lies while president and the pace of the lies has picked up since then to a fever pitch. Their lies will not stop anytime soon but the media and reporters who know better should not be complicit in spreading these lies. Reporters should report the truth. Even when reporting on a man and political party whose entire existence and future is based on outrageous lies. America deserves the truth and our news media is letting the country down by amplifying Trump’s lies with almost no pushback. Tell the truth and the American voters will handle the rest.’
