I keep hearing The Donald refer to the Mainstream Press as fake news. AP, NBC, Reuters, Fox, PBS, CNN, ABC, Bloomberg, et. al.


So what is NOT Fake Press?

Any news that paints Trump in a positive light, silly.

As in, ABC will do an occasional "non-fake" story.

Press that is not biased in its reporting.
Press that verifies its stories.
Press that does not have an agenda.
Press that is neutral and interested in only delivering news and not making it.

Not biased? Like Breitbart and Fox? Those are the ones he calls on in pressers.

The MSM wants you to think that the middle class is doing just fine, that everything is fair and square between the middle class and the 0.1%. Instead if trusting them go out into your community and see how many are working for crap wages, worried about health care, and trying to find a job. That's where the truth lies.

Is the following a conflict of interest?

Exposing the truth used to be called investigative reporting. Woodward and Bernstein would have been considered authors of alternative news today.

Believe everything. Question nothing.

Can anyone name a news source that meets all of these standards? I can't. All are biased. All have agendas. None are neutral.

since ultimately editorial decisions are made by humans you're going to have some degree of bias no matter what outlet you chose. best to try and read the same story from both a left and a right leaning source and create your own conclusion.

yep. unfortunately both cable news and the internet have pushed us towards insta-news. "all the presidents men" would have been a very short movie if the WaPo had simply just said " a guy in a garage said so".
