Sarah Huckabee Sanders called out the media in her press briefing for intentionally reporting falicious information. When pressed for an example, she cited Brian Ross's reporting, which was subsequently corrected and lead to him being removed from covering the White House and being suspended. How is the average American supposed to react to Sanders's accusation if she cannot cite a better example? I'm not sticking up for the media, but how is Sanders helping Trump by saying making an accusation she cannot back up? It just sounds like complaining.

good, that's exactly what they did

no it wasn't, they issued a clarification to their breaking news story after the part that made it breaking news turned out to be false...it took them like 8 hours. that's a retraction, not a clarification.

and being suspended.

a month off in December...the horror. he should've been fired.

they react with approval because that's a great example and it just happened.

yes you are, at no point in this exhausting bad faith exercise on your part have you made one complaint about them airing and publishing fake news, you've repeatedly mischaracterized and defended the example sanders used...you've complained repeatedly about trump and now sanders for saying that fake news is fake news...you're also mischaracterizing her because she backs it up.

because she's casting doubt on a press that shits out anonymously sourced, negative stories about trump...by pointing to a specific example that you somehow think isn't a specific example

i'll defer to your expertise on that subject

BTW, you seem to buy the "mistakes happen" defense of brian ross and other people who publish/air fake news...yet interestingly, those same people never use that, and instead call trump a liar every single time. as do you. you're going to realize probably too late that though you don't like trump, you defend the same people and tactics that unwittingly put him in the white house.

Brian Ross lied on purpose and has a history of lying on purpose to try to slip shite by then falling back to "Oh it was a mistake" when he gets caught.

There is no better example of a malicious liar in the press.
