I have 3 incidence in my early life that showed me how biased and untrustworthy the meda is.

From those days on I have been suspectful of them and have have been proven correct more times then not.

The Washington Post was key in exposing the lies told to us on Vietnam yet here is a thread indicating we shouldn’t trust the liberal media.

Without a free press, we cannot maintain our Democracy. A despot always ensures power by eliminating trust in the media. Do we see this happening in the US?
Over the top and sensationalist, with a splash of concern trolling.

It was exposed a few days before WaPo came out with the story, though. Alternative media exposed him so they basically had to come forth with the truth.

I wouldn't call that being "key in exposing a lie", it's more like backtracking, since all the reports said he was a Vietnam Vet when it wasn't true.

Make America hate again.


Most of us knew what the media was long before Trump became YOUR President.

In the to years he has been in office, Trump has made 8,158 false or misleading claims. And you want us to doubt the liberal media? Why?

They risked going to jail and losing the paper over the pentagon papers, not sure what you mean last sentence.

Yes, I trust WaPo, NYT, WSJ, USATODAY, ABC etc. But I use multiple sources.

Lol, they actively work to further their Narrative; truth comes in a distant second. The story of the students this weekend should be evidence enough of that.
