re: Was the "animals" meme the most dishonest media moment of the Trump presidency?

You’ve been backpedaling, moving the goalposts,

My goalpost is the same as on page 1

The left ran with a coordinated lie they knew to be false when they ran with it and every major outlet was involved.

You wanted the goal posts to be somewhere else. That's a you problem

And apparently you’re a-okay with that?

and i haven't watched Tucker live in months, maybe a year.

I’ve never said it wasn’t worse

Well at the very least you seem to be saying it’s less bad because it’s an editorial show?

And also I can’t seem to get any of you to explain why you only start threads about liberal media impropriety if you’re truly so concerned about media honesty.

What happened was far worse than your examples thus far. Correct?

Sure. But that having been said there is coordinating in the right wing media as well. WSJ-Fox-Talk radio specifically.

I would also disagree that it’s FAR worse. Somewhat worse though, yes.

not really. ignoring the fact that i wasn't talking about him as a bastion of media integrity (so your response is baffling and irrelevant), he's still only one person. he could be the biggest liar in the world, and it's still not comparable to the coordinated DEM-media efforts

if he lied (again, wasn't an issue) then it's bad

but it's not as bad as mass proliferation of talking points/memes after a DEM-media coordination

show me the mass proliferation of coordinated talking points

i mean shite it may not even possible b/c the have like 4-5 mainstream outlets

i've been openly critical of FNC for years. there is no reason for me to address every issue in ream time b/c i've written them off entirely. outside of watching Tucker making some leftist look idiotic, there is literally no worth in FNC at all

why would you expect me to (a) know the stories to criticize or (b) give them some sort of validation by saying their bullshite is even worthy of criticism?

But yet you seem to have no problem doing this for liberal media?

Have you NOT written off CNN, MSNBC?

You don’t think right wing media has talking points??

I suggest you read this book

Hell, I own it. I’ll mail it you if you want.

Well, I mean.......you TRIED and failed.

Right wing media coordination has been going on longer than liberal media coordination, detailed in the book I just linked SFP

Oh
My
fricking
God

Oh. And, I don't actually care if Rush, Hannity, Maddow, Lemon etc etc coordinate with their respective sides.

Coordination among partisans is pretty common.

Why are you still going?

You've already acknowledged that this was worse than ANY example you've provided.

Take your L and move on
