Oh, I know it will only scare those of us who understand what this administration is trying to do by discrediting the media. However, this article is worth reading.

The media needs to start fighting back, and it needs to happen now. No more live interviews should be granted; fact checkers need to pull apart every statement from this lying bunch of morally destitute, evil people. When they tell a lie, the press needs to immediately show the truth. Period. No more giving them any wiggle room to spout their BS as facts.

Well Bannon is right. The media and the rest of the liberals should listen to what's being said instead of what they think they hear.

“The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while,” Mr. Bannon said during a telephone call.

^^^ I agree.

Too little news. Too much editorial.

Asked if he was concerned that Mr. Spicer had lost credibility with the news media, Mr. Bannon chortled. “Are you kidding me?” he said. “We think that’s a badge of honor. ‘Questioning his integrity’ — are you kidding me? The media has zero integrity, zero intelligence, and no hard work.”

“You’re the opposition party,” Mr. Bannon said. “Not the Democratic Party. You’re the opposition party. The media’s the opposition party.”

The media has no credibility. Fact checkers? Please, they've been lying to us for years, particularly during the Obama administration, repeating his lies as "news" and "facts."


Sorry, that ship sailed a long time ago.

Unfortunately it hasn't. Large segment of the population suffers from sever cognitive dissonance and wants to be force fed what they want to see. In their world, facts only matter if they fit within their already made up mind.

Pictures, video evidence be damned. They don't care because it doesn't fit their story. Words have meaning but in their world they twist and distort the words. Which is why you have Trump defense force saying things like "oh that wasn't what he meant" or "don't' take him literally".

The media is discrediting themselves they don't need any help...just keep broadcasting and not fact checking.

The media's opinion doesn't represent the opinion of many Americans.

LMAO ... this right-wing dope Bannon thinks the media still doesn't understand why Illegit Don is POTUS.

LOL

They know EXACTLY why Illegit Donnie is in the White House, you dope ... COMEY and the RUSSIAN HACKERS.

Anyone who thinks Illegit Donnie wins that election without that disgraceful assistance from Comey and the Russians is either uber-partisan or not very bright.

Obviously this dope Bannon is both...

Bannon is right, the long time purveyors of fake news for propaganda purposes (CNN, ABC, NBC, PBS, CBS) need to be fact checked and discredited with 99% of their 'stories.'
