I mean a calculated lie is a calculated lie is it not? Or is it only a problem when the “mainstream media” lies?
let's be clear. most birthers did not believe they were lying. they truly believed that CT
the media here 100% was being intentionally dishonest to score political points

He knows this. But, he needs to bootstrap to try and save his lame assed whataboutism deflection(even though he's "not deflecting")

That’s a misperception
Just because I disagree with most of you on a lot of things doesn’t necessarily mean I’m being contrarian. Maybe, just maybe, they’re are ways of looking at the world different than the dominant orthodoxy on here.
Of course there are, and I often myself disagree with the orthodoxy here, but that isn't what I wrote.
I like the link you provided later in your post, it's a good example of what I was talking about, and actually proves your point quite well. NO ONE should have been defending the IRS in that sitaution, and in this particular case you obviously weren't (so that proves you are correct in that you don't always just defend things becuse liberals did it or whatever) but you also obviously must remember that the media at the time pretty much ignored that story compared to now that Trump is President and two scoops of ice cream is a fricking major breaking story proving Trump is literally Hitler according to most media outlets, which proves the overall point of this thread. That being that the media simply isn't treating Trump fairly (and also that they ignored every dirty thing Obama did while in office)

#1 How much time do you spend thinking about your media boogeyman and what would you do with yourself without them to a) fear and b) hold up as evidence of whatever narrative you want to push on any given day? #2 In your opinion, what percentage of being a conservative in America in 2018 really boils down to martyring for these media narratives as opposed to the actual issues our country faces?
Answer to 1: Not much time. The illegitimacy of today's mass media is obvious once one spends but a small amount of time observing this rank stinking Leftis propaganda.
2: Conservatives in 2018 spend more time trying to make the USA better for every citizen than any Democrat, that is for damn sure. 2018 Dems are rank stinking Leftists that are trying to consolidate complete political power in the USA and persecute their political enemies. Dems are Totalitarians.

The rank in file, sure. I’m talking about the conservative outlets themselves. They knew it was a lie but pushed it anyway.

Link examples you think are similar to this animals thing.
It should be easy since there are so few conservative NEWS networks. This should be a walk in the park for you.

It’s one example of thousands.
Obama couldn’t take a shite in the morning without conservative media turning it in to some fake news conspiracy bullshite to fear monger the right.
It happened every single day and I gave you a website that catalogued it. But why would I want to spend 30 minutes curating 2 or 3 really good examples when I know y’all are going to find some kind of mental gymnastics to excuse it away?

Link something you consider similar.

Show us which you think is similar.

You know you can't. That's just the bottom line.

Rank AND file, not rank in file. And no I don't believe most right wing media believed the birther thing or pushed it.

The reason he won't give an specific example is because he knows he's trying to compare CNN headlines and WAPO headlines reported by supposed news outlets to fricking Hannity.

If I thought there was any example you would accept then I would happily do it. But why waste my time researching for someone who has already made up their mind?

not even close - in fact Tump's verbiage was so muddled that it would be easy to believe that he jumped directly from MS-13 to the broader illegal alien (undocumented workers in the DEM/MSM vernacular) like he did with his original 'sending us rapists, murderes, etc.
The man is easy to 'misunderstand' - and this is not the most blatant 'misunderstanding' they have done.
THAT award goes to the 'Maybe the Russians can find them" joke he pulled during the campaign. There is no sentient person alive who could hear what he said and conclude that it was anything other than a joking jab at the HRC e-mail fiasco.
Yet, they are STILL using that as one of the significant pieces of 'evidence' that Trump was actually colluding with the Russians. Heard it again just a while ago for Swalwell.

Here. I'll even help.
Show me just ONE example where immediately after an event or some news subject hit.............every conservative outlet........all at once...........ran a coordinated lie that they all had to know was a lie.
Bonus points if you can provide one where they straight up faked a quote(again, all in the same manner) as they've done with Trump now on two separate occasions.
Surely, since this happened every day for 8 years, you can hit me with one.

No offense, but multiple posts laughing at this guy and treating him like an idiot probably is going to disincline him to engage with you .
