That you know about because they tell us.

You guys don’t care about truth or journalism. Just propaganda.
except you haven't caught us peddling propaganda.. MY news sources were right about ALL of this.

and now its proven. the MSM is full of lies and deceit.
 
The absurd thing about claiming that the MSM has some evil agenda to peddle lies because they sometimes get things wrong is that then the claim is that the online blogs, the ones that simply make stuff up, are then the best source of information.
You can "confirm" just about anything by citing the right online source.
 
and ABC News that reported it. Check out the link above.

?? Again, it was the Inspector General report that corrected the record, not ABC. ABC did not retract, apologize or even acknowledge that they printed false Democrat propaganda for more than a year. As Hypothetical points out, the mainstream media has no integrity.

Don't you find it a bit odd that everything, literally everything they got wrong - 100% was anti-Trump?

So I guess it was only your conclusions that were wrong.
and now its proven.
It would seem that the only thing proven is that you scored a big goose egg on your OP. If there really was any point to this, you've failed to make it.

Better luck next time.
 
Don't you find it a bit odd that everything, literally everything they got wrong - 100% was anti-Trump?
??HUH?? From the OP's list, numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 weren't anti-Trump at all !!
The only story that can be claimed to be anti-Trump was #1.
What are you talking about?
 
What did they get wrong? Can you point to specific quotes that prove that were wrong?

(If you quote some pundit or twitter opinion, you already blew your argument)
Exacty. Layfayette park is their latest bullshit they are clamouring about because a trump appointee refused to actually investigate it therefore "NOTHING!"
 
correction see post #12 (a well written post)
Its MSM 2, Trump over 30K but honestly the big outrage the photo op was having a guy who doesnt go to church standing in front of one with a bible to try and convince people he is religious
So at best Id go 1/2 point on that
That order was given to clear them out of the way. The trump appointed justice department guy didn't bother to question trump or barr. Pretty much just made a declaration with hardly an investigation.

I don't find it odd at all that there is one example of something they got wrong that was anti Trump.
Do they get everything else right? That's quite a remarkable record.

That's because they did not print false Democrat propaganda for more than a year. They got one part of one story wrong, and printed a correction. That's it, that's the whole story.

If the press is really pro Democrat, which a lot of it is, then what they should do is keep Trump stories as quiet as possible. Trump has done a great job of splitting the Republican Party, which makes it easier for Democrats to win elections.

I'm still glad they did it. Trump holding the Bible like it was a pair of Junior's dirty tighty whities is an image that makes me chuckle to this day.

If you are unwilling to even acknowledge the bias towards Democrats in the mainstream media, I really don't see much point in continuing this discussion.
 

You are leaving out a shit ton of context and nuance, and you are conflating speculation/opinion with actual hard news coverage.

And you're also leaving out one very important element. Trump did strange and suspicious things. And when Trump did strange and suspicious things people had suspicions and people publicly stated their suspicions.

What you want is for the media to be pro-Trump all the time, and make every story biased in Trump's favor all the time, to give Trump and his supporters and Trump's lackeys every conceivable benefit of the doubt every single time, and that's never going to happen. And it's ridiculous to assume it will ever happen. And it's ridiculous to assume the media has the obligation.

Lafayette Park was strange as hell. The media had the right to ask questions.

The Russian Bounties thing was also something the media had the right to inquire about. The media said Trump "definitely" did this. The media said, "Hrmmm this is odd. What is Trump up to?"

And the media isn't monolithic. It's comprised of hundreds of news organizations, thousands of journalists, and there is a mix of commentary and news in most news organizations.

And the Wuhab lab stuff. We still don't have enough evidence to say ANYTHING definitively.

Nobody has the right to not have negative news stories printed about them or broadcast in the media.

Get over it. You're not always going to get good press. Stop whining about it.

Yes, the media doesn't like Trump. There's a good reason for that. He's a stupid man and he's also a crook.

I did acknowledge it. Read my post again.

The mainstream media, meaning CNN, ABC, CBS et. al. have favored Democrats for decades now. Fox news favors Republicans, which lately has meant Donald Trump and Trumpism. The online blogs just make stuff up, though, and have no credibility at all.

Mainstream media is the media that the mainstream reads. Everything else is fringe media read by the fringe. .

oh that is so much hogwash.. you know the MSM and progressives used EVERY ONE of those things against Trump as his "lies" and "crookedness" , and we now find out he was right about all of them.

well then the mainstream unfortunately reads BS.

Really? Where did we find out Trump was right? Please expand on this vague and nothingness comment with some real situations and incidents followed up with good old American facts.

Like what? General terms are for Putin propagandist. If you're a true American, how about giving us a concrete example and defend it as being. BS. Take pride in being an American. Speak to truth and facts.

they had the right to ask questions and they should have had the INTEGRITY to make sure they got the correct answers which they did not, because they had every intention of doing it for one reason, to make the then current administration look bad.

Wuhab lab doesnt matter..Trump was asked if he had intelligence that made HIM BELIEVE that the wuhan lab might be responsible, and when he said yes, the MSM and progressives went NUTS. whether they ARE the source of the virus or not, it was ALWAYS a viable possibility, but to listen to the MSM and progressives scream about the idea when he proposed it you would have thought he killed the pope.

No its cringy because his target audience ate it up. The ones that are supposed to follow the teachings of Christ literally worshipping the golden calf who promises them riches but fail fail to read the fine print where it is all for him
