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.
Violence and hatred seeps from your soul. Please dont go and shoot up a media outlet like other disturbed individuals. OK.

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?

Can you give an example of lying by the NY Times?

I don't trust "liberal/free" or any media because it is hard for the rich to be truly liberal and to be upstanding. They will always push their interests. Liberalism and Truth might be one of them sometimes, but most of the time it will be Sensationalism and Mercantilism.

Rupert Murdoch is Australian.
Gotta love the fake news deniers.

No. I don't. They are too busy hating trump and making up stories, and failing to report on anything negative about dems.

I stop trusting them since 1991 when they push for the Iraq war and were nothing more than cheerleaders for the federal government. Now they are worse but the positive thing is that now they are so obvious and anybody that still defend them and say we have a free independent media is a fool or getting paid by them.




I remember in 1991, how CNN and the rest of the media were treating the American bombing pilots that came back from bombing Iraq like a hero's welcome like they just won the Super Bowl. They never reported of the Iraqi deaths and cities and homes destroyed because of the bombings.



They just repeated what the Pentagon and generals told them with no questions and never challenge the government like they do Trump 24/7. It was sad.
