Hannity has you whitewashed



Is this a 'mistake?'

Anyone who knows me on his board knows how much I hate Hannity.

I am a conservative, have been a conservative all my life. But I deal with logic and facts. If you can ever present a logical argument on any topic I will listen with interest. But I have never heard a logical argument from a left-leaning political entity in my 60 years of adulthood.

If you have something logical to say - then be my guest. We might become great friends. Elsewise, I pity you.

Their sloppiness is what leads to the 'mistakes' and their bias is what results in the 'mistakes' all being in one direction


Yep

And the fact that they basically NEVER catch their own mistakes indicates that their mistakes are a lot like roaches.

The bottom line here is that Frum is being dumb. Let me know when the "mistakes" start being vaguely even in their distribution.

Until then, the fact they aren't ABSOLUTELY is evidence of both sloppiness AND BIAS

Ever notice how these "mistakes" always involve something untrue, damaging, and fake about Trump?

If the problem was "mistakes" then CNN should find itself retracting errors made that were POSITIVE about conservatives as often as errors made that were negative

Their "Holy shite let's be first" boo boos would tend to be equally distributed.


My point exactly - their 'mistakes' are all in one direction - because that is the ONLY direction they go.

Their 'mistake' is their prostitution of their journalism. They have no interest in pursuing leads that impugn their agenda - hence no mistakes in that direction.

If you NEVER reprot a negative story about HRC, then you cannot by definition make a 'mistake' by what you report in that direction.

To put this cockamamie blather into a more grounded context than any but the most obtuse can grasp, think of it this way:

What might such an argument to your boss, spouse, parent, child, teacher, colleagues, or followers sound like?

'Look, the more mistakes I make, the more you should trust me because the more I fail, the better I am!'

Hahaha...

One "mistake" is believing David Frum when he says he's a conservative.

He's right. Their preoccupation with correcting their frankly inexcusable frickups is what separates them from the administration, its denizens, and a host of its supporting cast members. When do the Rush Limbaughs, Alex Joneses, Sean frickface Hannitys etc ever issue legitimate retractions when their reporting and/or ticking time bombs go tits up. Those guys are practically Benny Hinn without the vestiges of false religion. Hint: Somewhere between pretty much never and never. Hell, even though most cable news is a joke, their journalists do clarify and correct as needed--even Fox. And that's some shitty news. It's still not inforwars, gatewaypundit, dailystormer, or the 300-page "honeycomb people living in the Earth's mantle" thread on tigerdroppings.com (™).

For lib media,It's about getting as much negative news about trump as possible circulating around the country.. and then once they get called out on their fake news, they will quietly retract or correct their lie.

They definitely are not making innocent mistakes though.
