re: Was CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, etc. considered fake news before Trump?

Watch the coverage on youtube of the night Reagan won. The bias is there, subtle but there. The MSM has been fake news since Walter Cronkite, old Dan Rather took the baton, need I say more?

Are you stoned? Your thread premise is so ignorant you must be high.

Romney and McCain weren't often considered Fake Republicans either. But they were.

Wrong buttfricker. Filthy brainwashed sheep like you don’t remember those networks licking Hussein’s taint for 8 years. Piss off you unhinged filthy turd.

Oh yes, dumb question!

Share blue has released a new batch of hit and run trolls.

was the term "fake news" in wide use? no.

but people with functioning brains have known for a long time about the liberal bias of the media.

trump forced them to abandon all pretense of objectivity

On December 21, 1924, The New York Times claimed that Adolf Hitler was a changed man after a stint behind bars. They added that Hitler's "behavior during imprisonment convinced the authorities that, like his political organization, known as the Volkischer, was no longer to be feared. It is believed that he will retire to private life and return to Austria, the country of his birth."



On July 3, 1981, The New York Times ran an article on a "rare cancer seen in 41 homosexuals." The condition described is AIDS, but no one knew what it was, or how to prevent it. It's just as tragic in hindsight.

In December 1956, The New York Times ran an item claiming Fidel Castro was among the 40 revolutionaries killed by the Cuban government. Castro actually died on November 25, 2016.

In 1998, CNN, in partnership with sister Time magazine, ran a report that Operation Tailwind in 1970 in Vietnam involved the use of Sarin gas to kill a group of defectors from the United States military. The Pentagon denied the story. Skeptics deemed it improbable that such an extraordinary and risky atrocity could have gone unnoticed at the height of the Vietnam War's unpopularity. CNN, after a two-week inquiry, issued a retraction.

In October 2011, correspondent Amber Lyon met with Tony Maddox, president of CNN International, twice about a documentary on advances of democracy in the Middle East in which she was featured, and which was aired in the US but never by CNN International—the most watched English news channel in the Middle East—despite a high production cost, international acclaim and awards. She claimed that during the second meeting she was threatened and intimated to stop speaking on the matter.

Damn you are getting massacred in this thread.

Even more than a normal libbie.

I’m 57.
MSM has been biased for as long as I can remember

It has only been since the invention of the camera phone and proliferation of the internet that we have been able to show how fake they really are
