If you won't report the truth, then expect push back. Don't like it, REMOVE your political slant.

Gove has checks and balances, and the Media does too.

YOu think the media gives a frick about this?

Late night television is embracing it as evidenced by their campaign billboards on Times Square.

It really is fricked up isn't it?

They can smear anyone. They can use anonymous sources that most likely don't exist in order to just crucify people they don't like.

If you dare dispute any of their wild claims.. they then claim that you've no right to criticize them. To criticize them is the exact same as stealing the 1st amendment from them. It's pretty potent brainwashing to convince millions of people that they are beyond reproach.

Indeed. To allow fabricated Lies to stand unchallenged is the real threat of truth is going to be our ideal.

Hahahaha

Those unhinged unprofessional assholes whining about Trump being incapable or not presidential is a real hoot.

Scumbags who do nothing but hurl insults all day whining about being insulted are the ultimate sandy vags.

The sanctimony about journalism being some sort of higher calling is delusional.

Yes Toddy, I think they do.

At the end of the day we all have a job to do and do it to the best of our ability.

Trump laid out 10 times (and yes there were many more) where people did not do the job they were supposed to do. These examples were when they were factually wrong.

Truth and lies is not a gray area. There is truth and there is a lie.

Media is becoming the unelected 4th branch of the government. There is currently a battle to see which really governs the country, the executive branch or the MSM.

What the media whores fail to acknowledge is that Trump is speaking for an incredibly large segment of society who is tired of them and wants to hear real news without slant or bias.

They stepped into the ring when they ditched journalism for advocacy, and are getting knocked the frick out by the wrecking ball that WE hired.

And people on the left who watch don’t realize this either. The distribution of political ideology among journalists / networks in no way mirrors that of the country’s population.

~30 states agreed with trumps stance on MSM, he treats them no different now than he did on the campaign trail.

Trump was quite literally the people telling the media to frick off. Yet the media continues to ignore that and doubled down

Lol, the free and independent press is thriving under Trump in a way it hasn’t in a long time. Trump’s constant lying has woken America up to the vital role of the fourth estate in our democracy.

Trump’s little fake news pitty party is popular with the internet troll crowd, and that’s about it.

I can just as easily say “the media’s constant lying has woken America up.” And I believe that’s the case

What are the media’s “approval ratings?” It’s far lower than trumps by the way. So essentially you have trump (one guy) attacking the MSM, and the MSM (hundreds-thousands) attacking trump.
People trust the MSM less, they are just a lot louder coming from so many directions

If you want something supporting my claim check out any poll, and if you want to say “oh now we trust polls” instead check out how many states voted for trump against the MSMs dire wishes (and predictions). America knows the media is as full of shite as they come



Mainstream media continues to lose the public's trust: Gallup Poll

Politico

Poll: 46 percent think media make up stories about Trump

Just 37 percent of voters think the media do not fabricate stories, the poll shows, while the remaining 17 percent are undecided.

You can say what you like. Doesn't make it true.

No they aren't. Trust in the press has been trending upward as trust in the executive branch has been trending downward. LINK. Meanwhile, the approval rating for Trump specifically (in the 30's) is significantly lower than either.

I did. You're wrong.

and if you want to say “oh now we trust polls”


It's not fun when you go and say it for me! Though, it is still fun that you say this when you obviously haven't checked out many polls recently.

quote:

States don't vote. People do. The geographic spread of people is such that 30 states may have gone for Trump, but we're talking about PEOPLE's attitudes toward Trump and the media, and Americans preferred Trump's opponent to the tune of 3 million more votes.

Trust in the media is trending up. Subscriptions to news papers like the New York Times and Washington Post have increased greatly. Trump's desire to undermine the press is shameful and corrupt, but thankfully, it's also failing miserably.

Wrong about less trust in the media? Why don’t you use your same poll/source to compare both, both a 48% (in article). So yes according to this poll media is tied not lower. Decimals would help here

LA and NY hate trump, we know this. Cool thing is this country is a Union of States, and more voted trump (who shite talks the media) than voted for the last 2 Republicans. Even though the MSM told them they were voting Hillary

Way to edit your post after I already responded, but that Gallup poll is from 2016. "Sinclair Media" is a good choice for you though, as it is a great example of media that really is biased and untrustworthy. The other polls listed in that story are from late 2016 or early 2017 as well. Trump's approvals have only eroded since then while subscriptions to the American independent press blue bloods have grown and polling regarding media trustworthiness has held steady or improved.
