There is no statement that what they have published was wrong or been discredited.


dude




what a wonderfully substantive reply that shows how his comment is incorrect.

Just amazing work, liar....just amazing.

This really damages what was left of Fox "News" credibility.
FNC lost credibility when it caved earlier this year to organized left-wing extortion.

The catastrophic contribution of Murdoch's little boys both in the caving, and then reforming a feckless evening line-up, literally crushed the station overnight.

It leaves FBN suddenly as the only credible vestige of the once dominating giant.

Now it's a negative to retract something that was incorrect. Damn. What a world we live in.


No, it's negative to claim that you are a "news" network and not meet basic journalism standards like checking and corroborating sources.

I beg to differ. Has the WaPo or other MSM outlets put out official retractions for the fake news they have reported?


Of course, in Trumplandia, publishing an obviously bullshite story that you are later forced to retract is proof of credibility! Haha.

It couldn't possibly be that WaPo actually vets their shite BEFORE they publish it. Nope. That idea doesn't jive with my confirmation bias.

what the frick do you think this means?

The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.



this means they found out their source was full of shite or that there never was a "source"

So you have a problem with a media outlet that apologizes for reporting unsubstantiated news? Well that's weird as hell of you.


You can report on things directly from sources you have contacted or know.

Reporting on things someone thinks someone else thinks is not journalism.

So basically you're now saying FNC has joined the ranks of CNN and MSNBC?

Shep, stop celebrating your victory. We all know you are the one who pushed Fox to retract this.

Do basic journalism standards include all in for the Dem party?

Both sides have lots of work to do.

quote:

SCARBOROUGH: "Exactly. That is exactly what I hear. What Yamiche said is what I hear from all the Trump supporters that I talk to who were Trump voters and are still Trump supporters. They go, 'Yeah you guys are going crazy. He's doing -- what are you so surprised about? He is doing exactly what he said he is going to do.'" BRZEZINSKI: "Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job."
