Writer touted by CNN as 'Journalist of the Year' forced to resign for fabricating stories

correction - politifact = TRUTH

 

Everyone with even a small degree of objectivity would agree.

It appears there is a condition being exploited among some that takes a lack of objectivity and manipulates it into support for a specific political ideology and resulting obsession.

 

The MSM tends to rely on expert professionals to add objectivity to Fake News.

"Detective Chief Superintendent Jason Tingley said there was "no available footage and they are relying on witness accounts."

Asked about speculation if there was never a drone, he said: "Of course, that's a possibility. We are working with human beings saying they have seen something."

That, and the ubiquitous "sources" BS.

Whatever it takes to generate clicks from a gullible and well trained audience.

 

PolitiFact = Fake News w/attitude

“Fact-checking website PolitiFact on Wednesday retracted a 2014 article that found it "Mostly True" the Obama administration helped broker a deal that successfully removed "100 percent" of chemical weapons from Syria.

"We struck a deal where we got 100 percent of the chemical weapons out," then-Secretary of State John Kerry said on NBC's "Meet the Press" in July 2014. Kerry was referring to a deal the U.S. and Russia struck in September 2013 in which the Russians agreed to help confiscate and then destroy Syria's entire chemical weapons stockpile.” PolitiFact retracts 'mostly true' ruling that US removed '100 percent' of Syria's chemical weapons, By Alex Griswold Published April 06, 2017.

No, He meant that CNN has been caught with so much fake news their ratings are the lowest in the industry falling under the Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. It has become so bad that their Airport contracts are up for re-bid because the Airport authorities don't want to be associated with them anymore.

 

Because the only time they fire someone is when it becomes public knowledge.

 

The ignorance of MSM journalists makes fact checking a challenge for them.

"Last night, CNN's own Don Lemon speculated that the missing Malaysia Airlines flight may have disappeared from the earth because of something "we don't really understand." That thing? Black holes. An Ivy League astronomer The Wire spoke with thinks that's unlikely."

now it's time for Fox to retract its many lies

 

All due respect Condor, but this was an actual picture on Fox News, and they actually argued that their were more people in the pic on the right

 

What they argued about was the picture on the left was taken 45 minutes before the inauguration. Not really sure what that has to do with the actual ratings of cable news networks. Fox has been number 1 for over 26 months and CNN (Who used to be number 1) fell to number 25.

 

CNN is elevator music for the new reactionary "left".

 

If CNN is so weak, why worry about it?

 

Maybe you are watching way to many bias news feeds to recognize what is really going on. Unlike Liberals, Conservatives don't try and twist every word spoken to tally lies. We are more concerned with accomplishments. The biggest purveyor of fake news is CNN as recognized in their substantial drop in ratings moving from number 1 to number 25 falling under the Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon while Fox has moved to the number 1 spot and has held it for over 26 months.

Maybe you should spend a little time reviewing what Trump has done since elected.

So is it your position that the WH Press Secretary did NOT blast the media over inauguration crowd size?

Think it through and try to find an actual Fox lie. Surely that's not too much to ask.

 

Once again, in bx4's words, Condor060 needs to remember that "Trump lies almost daily. Repeatedly. About things big and small. He is the biggest purveyor of fake news, by a country mile."

 

CNN lies like a rug. They should stop hiring professional liars - that might help.

""Former CIA and FBI official Phil Mudd (now a CNN counterterror analyst) debates CNN in-house Trump supporter Paris Dennard about the revocation of John Brennan's security clearance. When Dennard suggested that it is an open secret in D.C. that people who have high-level security clearance get higher-paying consulting jobs (fact check: true), Mudd yelled so loudly that he caused the microphone to reverberate and crackle.

The epic confrontation took place on Friday's Anderson Cooper 360 (with substitute host Jim Sciutto).

"Everybody in Washington, D.C. knows -- if you don't want to be honest about it, that's on you, but if you have a security clearance and you keep it, you get more money," Dennard said after Mudd asked: "Who are you talking about? Are you talking General Hayden?"

Sean Hannity is not a journalist, nor portrays himself as so.
He has an opinion show that is not intended as news.
Hannity is just another spin doctor among the many spinsters on the opinion side...CNN has their own.
There is a clear difference between an opinion show host and a journalist.

 

Because its an important reminder of the incompetence and corruption of the msm.

The type of thing that red pills people who dont really follow politics even.

 

It would be just as easy to ignore the public since there is nothing legally the public can do. they could say, "too bad, go somewhere else if you don't like it". However, they do have some journalistic standards which they exercised in this case.

 

Who will fact check the fact checkers?

 

Don't you think CNN got duped by "made up" news from the reporter? They fell for it hook, line and sinker so bad they made him "Journalist of the Year".

 

Maybe because only you think it was a lie.

 

I think CNN lies far more than Trump.

 

The ACA was passed without a single Republican vote, so the Republicans changed NOTHING.
