So this is my problem. with so-called retracts.
Was the retract reported as aggressively as the dishonest or inaccurate story that falsely accused the individual?
or
Was it a mumbled mention almost as an after thought?
I personally believe the media will use the retract to avoid being held accountable for blatant lies. They have an agenda and will use every tool they can.
What ever happened to responsible journalism? Journalist report the news not create it. We have v very little good journalism any more.
The bigger question is, what ever happened to honesty from our President ? You seem to accept the fact that your guy lies, lies, and then lies to cover up those lies, and it is like water off of a ducks back. None of you will ever admit or believe that Trump does not lie constantly.
That is why your side has no credibility with us whatsoever..........NONE.
A key feature of actual fake news is that they don't issue such corrections...
That's absolutely correct. After all the poster boy for fake news is Fox news. They actually went to court in Florida to protect their right, under the first amendment, to lie to and mis-lead their viewers.
Murdoch pulled Fox News in the UK because it only had viewing figures of around two thousand. That was a shame because in journalism classes in the UK Fox news was used as a perfect example of a propaganda mouthpiece for the GOP, and a classic example of a news outlet that was anything but fair & balanced.
My goodness. The trumpettes really are getting snowflakey when an error on a chiron sends them into a lather.
Trump won the presidency over yer ago and many on the left are STILL seeing their therapists in their "safe" places with their crayons! the REAL snowflakes!
Actually, there was research done a while back comparing the different media outlets and Fox got the best scores with being factual. Left wing media used to issue corrections and retractions but became overwhelmed by their own lies. They fired a lot of their writers who I guess were trying to please their DNC masters.
Why don't you watch Fox News for a week and spot the difference? You never watch so how would you know? It's not scary, I promise. You will probably wind up only watching Fox from then on like most people.
To think ABC is owned by the House of Mouse, a company that has this image of being honest and family-friendly.
