If a reporter from CNN/NYT came to my door tonight I'd set the dogs on them,just after throwing a bucket of sloppy horse manure over them.



Nope.

Make America hate again.


Right. As long as they issue a retraction, they will make mistakes. They are humans, not computers. They submit hundred of publishing a day.

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

I think this was the worst fake news of the month and it wasn't from liberal media. Fake Fox News is disgusting!

Fox News apologizes for graphic suggesting the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

I am sure Mueller knows if it is a lie. It is interesting that he came out and refuted the BuzzFeed piece recently. There are several fact-checking orgs checking and reporting on lies in the press. They rarely report on a clear lie in the NYT, but catch CNN stretching the truth. My impression is that most of the hate for the NYT, CNN, or Fox is not so much the news but the opinion pieces, which aren't news at all. But you can fault the NYT for the volume of unflattering news about Trump. That is pretty high.

We were taught to despise the kind of biased and manipulating “news” we get today. It was supposed to just be facts — who, what, where, when, and how.....
I really wonder what are the current journalism professors telling their students about this NOT
being real journalism anymore? Do these professors justify it, ignore it, or are they as outraged as the rest of us?

Again, your violence is not OK b/c others advocate it (assuming your allegations are true).

It gets worse and worse. Disney was forced to apologize for this.

Shows Covington kids being thrown into a wood chipper. Morrison later deleted the tweet and gave a half assed apology. Saying he hadn't the "time" to look into what really happened.

I must admit I get a bit of pleasure seeing this stuff. It is inappropriate for sure but we should never let this hatred loose on our culture. It must be contained and eliminated so that it does not metastasize. Maybe not with wood chippers but with education.
