US Politics Thread

Journalists and news outlets staffed by journalists are more responsible, and have to deliver facts by the nature of their job. The ones who find 'ANYTHING' to back stuff up are the unregulated ones that people like to feel validated by, and do this by saying they are engaging in research, away from the very vaccuous term they use, MSM. News is factual events, journalism is source based work around that, the rest is nonsense that spawns the kind of shit we saw around Nicola Bulley and the kid in Tenerife

Top post. But both of those cases also involved mainstream rolling news channels (particularly Sky) feeding a voyeuristic frenzy by the attention they gave them. It's hard to get past the idea that bigwigs love tragic events to draw in increased viewers.
 
Truss at RNC giving her support to Trump.
We already knew she was fucking nuts but she never stops trying to prove it.

Most journalists just write opinion pieces now, just look at the sports pages and the shit that's on them and then tell me that journalists are fact based.

That's before even touching on each papers political bias in regards of red and blue, it's not a revelation that journalists lie is it?

I dont think anyone equated sports writers really. News journalists who write for respected and established outlets have standards to maintain that includes source led pieces. And this is why those clowns who write frivolous joke pieces about celebs and bollocks who fail in that regard find themselves on the High Court being sued, and those who do meaningful journalistic work and researched stuff about news do not

We weren't talking just about serious journalists (Although there really aren't many) the BBC gets drawn in and the constant gaslighting by not telling the complete truth.

Do you genuinely believe that there are many shoelaces out there that do their own work and not rehash/rewrite a piece given to them by an agency? Celebrities suing papers isn't the same as say the retelling of "The Russians did it" in the 2016 American election or the post Brexit reporting.

The way they twist the knife on us in the press is matched by the lies they tell about just about everything, or is it just certain news outlets and publications that tell the truth?

Don't bother mate -- it's much easier for the stupid and/or the lazy and/or the know-nothing-but-comment-anyhowers to generaliz(s)e about people and stuff -- it makes this nuanced, complicated, diverse world of ours that frightens and confuses them much easier to live in.

To be fair you're another one who gets to decide which respected news outlet should be taken notice of. Some of the more challenged Americans dismiss Fox offhand because they just wont hear anything but their own truth.

That's why a great big orange barrage balloon is marching straight into your big job, truth isn't a quality murica values right now.
