How long will these channels keep downgrading the level of professionalism to where these well known hosts/journalist are seen as the same as on gossip news hosts that just read up who is with who and who did it with someone else!

It is sad to see these hosts are being used by some wealthy people who own them and their level of journalism is down graded to the garbage level.

It is interesting to see in what a short time frame they have fallen to almost zero level of believing any of them and actually feeling sorry for them! The respect for the job is gone as the are paid and owned by the outlet who has a different reason for bringing the false narrative.

The level of lies and stupidest has gone to a point that the advertisers soon will all be gone!
The Major Media has been the primary purveyor of Fake News (aka as lies or spin) for decades and there was really no counterweight until social media and especially Wikileaks. The Left can no longer control what is said and heard in America, their power base is shut off unless than manage to destroy the 1st amendment.

Half of this sounds like it comes straight from Russkie Troll Factory #9.


But, we believe every word.

I really wouldn't doubt it. Can't believe there would be so many true Putin-lovers around.

In addition, you know Trump has a staff of paid internet trolls. He paid people to applaud him and I'm sure he pays people to troll, whether it be those on his own staff or newbies. The fact that every twitter he utters (and he utters a twitter for every breath he takes) appears as a headline here is very telling.

In addition, when astro-turfing first began years ago, one of the 'tells' to look for is if they are initiating tons of threads. Why else would some keep repeating the same headline over and over?

You are so right. Trump pointed it out but indeed social media and especially Wikileaks have showed the mainstream media that they will be a dead fish if they keep feeding false information as they look like the biggest losers right now!

Obama may have been the last President ever to be chosen without any media backbone question and giving him a free pass. From now on that era is over!

It seems with that the entire Democratic (ironic name) has collapsed! The Democratic party which is nothing then not democratic but kind of a fake news party that intimidates and wants a free pass...is on life support!

How so? Exactly? Got any concrete examples so we know what the hell you're talking about?

Trump trolls and Russkie Troll Factory #9 might be one and the same.

I have but 2 words to say to them and their defenders:


Trump Won!


Shows you how accurate their polls and what they say are. One would think they would have some shame, but obviously not.

Yes we need WikiLeaks, the true source for news. Glad everyone learned the term "fake news" but it's getting a little old calling everything fake news. Where were you when infowars had the military attacking Texans, or Breitbarts poetic license with the truth.


So what's you're news source or do you also use WikiLeaks for the weather and the stocks.
