I don't know about enemy, but they have certainly lost credibility among a major portion of the American populace. And they are doing the public a major disservice.
With Benghazi and Petraeus we have a scandle that dwarfs Watergate (no one died back then), yet we have a MSM, with the exception of FOX, that either ignores the subject, downplays it, refuses to investigate it or tries to focus attention in another direction.
It's scary when the entire DC/MSM apparatus is focused on preserving a cover-up.
Few things are more pathetic than people who sell out to make a few bucks. Take Dennis Miller. After getting canned from Monday Night Football, Miller was about at the end of his rope. Being a headlining comedian was probably over. He needed to reinvent himself. Enter Fox News. There was a niche to be had. Bingo.
Pat Caddell. Talk about a niche to be filled. How about the repentant liberal on Fox? Perfect.
No coverage in the media? Is this man serious? No, of course he is not. What a hack.

The major portion of the American populace that cannot locate Canada, much less Iran or Iraq on a globe? And that is even with a dumbed-down media, focused on sensationalism - car chases, celbrity worship, royal family doings, "human interest stories" and so on.
Benghazi is the lead story on every national media site. What are you people reading, Grit?
Some outlets like FOX or MSNBC are enemies of the truth.
Precisely. My favorite rationalization is from those who claim they find the truth by reading biased sources from each end of the spectrum. In other words, by reading propaganda from either side of the spectrum, it magically results in truth being extracted from bogus "facts" from multiple perspectives.

Yes, a lot of people embarrass themselves by coming here with some story which they heard from FOX/MSNBC which they thought was a fact, but turns out to be BS. The sad part if that they do not seem to learn, but repeat the same mistake over and over.

It is the leading story, but it's the titillating aspects of the story that are being played up. Jill Kelley in tight little dresses, Paula Broadwell with classified info in her possession, did Petraeus betraeus.
You are not going to find the Woodward and Bernsteins of this generation asking what did Obama know and when did he know it and why did he send Susan Rice out to lie and why did he let Hillary accept responsibility for the deaths of four Americans in Libya. You don't see the editorial pages of the WaPo and the NYT demanding honest answers from Obama.
FOX will, but you libs casually smear FOX because you don't like what you hear and you've programmed yourselves to automatically reject anything they say. So the media can get away with shoddy reporting because IMO, most of you don't want to hear anything bad about this administration.
And the media either won't or isn't inclined to ask Obama hard questions. You notice that latest press conference? There wasn't a single reporter that didn't bring their knee-pads with them - the whole affair was nothing more that an exercise in journalistic malpractice.
Whatever happened to the journalist ideal of asking the tough questions of those in power, being impartial, and only reporting the facts as news instead of creating news? A poll isn't a news story. A poll is a way of generating news. When the government does questionable things, it's the job of the press to ask the tough questions and report the truth. It's not the job to only do this against politicians they don't like while giving a pass or benefit of the doubt to politicians they do like. With the exception of FOX News, I really don't see any reporters asking this administration the tough questions. Instead, it looks like Jay Leno asking a celebrity guest questions.

At the end of the day there really are two sources of "news", FOX and MSNBC. When FOX comes out with a news report, do a search on the subject and you will get oh, 100 hits from different sources all about 5 minutes behind the FOX "breaking news". 9 out of 10 will quote "FOX". When it comes to MSNBC reports, the number of hits are less and maybe 8 out of 10 will quote MSNBC five minutes behind. Seems many "journalists/reporters" rely on FOX and MSNBC for their "news".
What ever happened to when a reporter actually investigated a subject on their own? A journalist/reporter doesn't wait for news to break from another source, a good journalist/reporter looks for the news and makes news.
