https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/russiagate-fiasco-taibbi-news-media-826246/ The inability to face the enormity of the last few years of errors will cost the news media its credibility, even with blue-state audiences .....it’s shocking to see national media voices after the release of Robert Mueller’s report patting each other on the back, congratulating themselves for a three-year faceplant they must know will haunt the whole business for a long time. “Fake news? Mueller isn’t buying it,” writes David Bauder of the Associated Press. He noted that with a “few exceptions,” Mueller’s investigation “repeatedly supports news reporting that was done on the Russia probe over the last two years.” Not only was there no “collusion,” the two camps didn’t even have each others’ phone numbers! ============================================================ Rolling Stone's editor excoriates the Mainstream Media throughout the piece and points out time and time again that not only was their no Trump Russia Collusion, but that Mueller made this "crystal clear" and that the media lying to Left leaning voters for years and not owning up to it will make that block of voters tune out moving forward, even through a critical election cycle. He is upset that he believes his warnings to the media will fall on deaf ears. He is right. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC have become propagandists that care not for truth and facts. All that matters is ideology. It's a false religion and as such the followers have to either be cult-like in their devotion to believe it, or they will bail.
Old drama queen Chris Cuomo the other night was being told by a former intelligence office for Bush, that the fact of the matter is, the report said no collusion. Then poor, little Chris made his dramatic, angry face, and actually said,"No, I'm not so sure about that." That damages his credibility and all of CNN's credibility, but, they...don't...care. As long as they keep serving the democrat party, their ratings do not matter. Silly little punks.
The #MSM has no credibility. They willingly and knowingly participated in the coup attempt against a duly elected sitting President. They intentionally fed a false narrative to viewers and lied about it repeatedly. They cared more about charges being filed against our President than reporting the truth.
A real good question is, why don't the shareholders care? Why are the ratings of CNN and MSNBC allowed to go into the toilet, because they just deliver FAKE NEWS that no one watches expect the hardcore partisans? I think the answer is that they are owned by enormous conglomerates that are part of the Orwellian / Big Government propaganda machine who make tons of other profits on their real businesses. CNN and MSNBC are not real businesses, but propaganda arms for Big Brother.
The Rolling Stone is the pot calling the kettle black. They certainly had their share of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Who are they trying to kid? This isn't just about TV. The maniacs were trashing Trump in newspapers, magazines, online, etc. MSM happily colluded with the Democrats.
It's a bloody Civil War within the DNC. They sort of remind me of a third world dictatorship, coming apart at the seems....this could be worse then what happened when Zaire invaded the Congo.....
It was a great well written article by a very left leaning reporter. The alt-lefties are not very good at taking advice and they are likely to continue down the rathole they have been diving down for the last dozen years.
LOL - The MSM dispensed with its credibility years ago, and its blue state audiences will believe anything they want to hear. Neither one of them give a flying f*ck.
We have reached a point where about 15% of the population has gone into cult mode on the Left side of the spectrum. There are some hold outs that do value integrity. They include: Tulsi Gabbard - U.S. Congress (Hawaii) Jimmy Dore - Talk Show Host / Comedian Alan Dershowitz - Harvard Law Professor Gary Abernathy - WaPo Look lefties. If you want an honest left wing talking head that will give it to you straight and holds your views, look up Jimmy Dore on Youtube. I listen to the guy to see how honest leftists are thinking. Some of you are out there, but they are not the CNN / MSNBC types.
Ratings don't much matter to them. Liberal corporations are going to pay for ads regardless, sort of like charitable contributions.
All of a sudden Rolling Stone isn't fake news? Too funny. He's trying to help defeat Trump. Here's another of his you should enjoy. Trump’s Chances in 2020 Are Better Than You Think We underestimated him once. Let’s not do it again https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/donald-trump-2020-election-758840/ Some quotes: Trump began his 2016 run as a sideshow conspiracist, a human rimshot the papers turned to for comic relief. Trump’s base doesn’t care that he has betrayed most all of his key campaign promises. They won’t see it that way. He pledged to “drain the swamp” and savaged Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton for being tools of Goldman Sachs, then packed his White House with Goldmanites minutes after election. His tax cut is a grotesque handout to the plutocrat class to which he claimed to be a traitor. And if there’s a person out there who’s sick of all the winning, even Fox News hasn’t found him yet. But Trump has actually tried to do lots of the insane things he promised he would. That he’s made a ****-up of these efforts will be irrelevant. In a time of extreme cynicism and existential gloom, Trump is a doomsday cult, giving voters permission to unleash their inner monster. What makes this dangerous is that the appeal isn’t limited to racists. It extends to anyone who’s pissed off about anything. Trump is the match to burn it all down.
I think it's even worse. They could make a ton more $, but put ideology first. They are able to do it, because they are owned by giant conglomerates that make billions in their other lines of business. It would would be best to make these near monopolies break up to force our news media to be more honest as they must to compete.
