Too Late!
Again... Too Late
So Trump stated it correctly... the opposition party.
Truth.... Keep in mind, TRUTH is just facts void of opinions. Can you do that?
I don't think so. I also believe that what you stated will not be heard, received, nor heeded.

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, says journalists covering President Trump should not spin "out of control.”

"The danger is that (journalists) spin ourselves out of control out of anxiety or fear or whatever you want to call it," Goldberg told CNN’s

"We're not supposed to be the resistance. We're not supposed to be the opposition," said Goldberg. "We're supposed to tell the truth about what's happening in any given moment and in any given place. And let's just do that."

The media should play devils advocate. The funny this is they took 8 yrs off from doing it.

And you are part of the problem.
Because the media didn't keep Obama in his place, you don't think they should be trying to keep Trump in his place?

Chris Matthews was asked why he never criticized Obama in 8 years. His answer was very truthful:
"Because he's never said or done anything that I disagreed with."
Why should journalists criticize Obama? They are all fellow leftists.

Too late. Wikileaks exposed them and they've doubled down since then. They have brought this on their own head. It'll take years to recover.

If they dialed it back even just a notch I'd say they're fulfilling their role. They should be a pain in the arse for each and every administration. We all benefit from it, 4th estate, etc.
The problem is that they are complicit with the Dems and even enable them. That is what makes them so scary. They have us believe they're benevolent when they pretty clearly politically operate in favor of one side.
Integrity and courage isn't sticking your neck out from the safety of an echo chamber to take shots at the Republican agenda. Courage is going after either party's incompetency regardless of which one your friends/employer give you safe harbor for.

No he's not. The Media is the problem.
They are not a party. They should not lie due to political leanings. That's a state run media, and not a free media.
Don't put the blame on the american people who are demanding that they just report the news, not find "sources" that agree with their political leanings to form a hit piece.
The media is causing a huge divide needlessly within the populous.

When your brand is truth and you're exposed as liars, you're done.

The news media should be neutral, airing facts. Let the citizens decide.
The place for opinions is in the editorial, not in the slant of the news.

There is having a left wing slant....then there is lacking all professionalism. CNN and a handful of others have spun off the face of this into an entirely new dimension of insanity.
That's not going to cut it. Americans deserve a fair and free press that's grounded to reality instead of a commitment to a specific party or agenda.
Try to be truthful and maybe your credibility won't be completely shot. If not, then don't be upset when both politicians and your audience compares you to the tabloids you are trying to mimic. There isn't even an attempt at neutrality anymore.

If you decide to play devil's advocate, by definition you choose sides. If you choose sides you publish only those things that support your side.
Neutrality is what the news is supposed to be.

They are being counter productive though. By running fake news stories and trying to make mountains out of anthills they are "crying wolf" and delegitimizing themselves. Then if a real scandal occurs that requires the media and whistleblowers to uncover it, people will roll their eyes and not listen. Media trust is at all time lows.
So in essence they are throwing away their power to check the govt in their frenzy to try to bring Trump down.

The fact that you won't see the problem with your statement says a lot about you and your movement.
Keep it up!

Choosing sides on a story is fine....what our media has done is they've chosen a side over political party REGARDLESS of the story which is just wrong.

The media should report the news. Where it desires, it can certainly, and should, include opinion, as long as opinion is clearly defined as such. However, the media almost universally lacks expertise to "play devils advocate".

seriously?
so you're ok with favorable candidates not being criticized?
do you even understand the concept of bias?
