    From BOB ACKLEY@1:123/140 to ALL on Monday, June 17, 2019 16:53:24
    Joe Biden seems to be upset that Mr. Trump has denigrated the mass
    media in this country. He seems to think that the media is providing accurate, fair and honest reporting - something they haven't done in
    over a quarter of a century.

    The mass media in this country is blatantly biased to the political
    left wing (except for Fox, which has a slight right wing bias).

    Six weeks ago the Missouri River valley was suffering massive flooding,
    I watched four solid hours of CNN one morning and they said not one
    word about that, nor did they say anything a bout the unrest then quite serious in Venezuela. What did CNN talk about for those four hours?

    If he gives them a reason to turn on him, he will find out how "fair
    and
    honest" they really are.

    My point - which I didn't get to post because the librarian wanted to
    close up and go home - was that the US "news" media is totally
    untrustworthy, and hasn't been for about twenty years. Some may be
    more reliable than others, but NONE of them are absolutely reliable.
    AFAIC they're all lying

    I noticed that CNN also doesn't know the difference between an illegal alien
    & a tourist.

    They also blame Trump for tensions with Iran because Trump canceled "planes full of cash part 2."

    you made enough of it that I understood it. :) I agree. There are not
    too many reliable newspeople out there anymore. They are all in it for
    fame, ratings, and entertainment value.

    Not surprising from one of the leading bash Trump networks. I used to like some
    of the late night shows but not anymore. Sure the President is open game and always
    has been but a nightly bash Trump on all the networks? I've taken up reading again,
    a lot less irritating :)

    I used to be able to tolerate Letterman or Leno, but all the current late
    shows are like dedicated to Trump-bashing, and it's just not funny.

    Why don't they bash my ex-wife instead? That would crack me up!!

    First she would have to get herself elected president.
    Then she would be fair game.

    no , it really isn't.... if it were just occasionally and well done it could be but as it is anymore it's just a bash session in a vicious way. :(

    In my option you can trust most of our elected officials because most of them all can tell the truth. I do not trust Trump because everything he saids its hard to tell if he is telling the truth or not. For the news media I think they

    Most of them in my view are bad. Lot of them do not really want to do what is in the best interest for the American people.

    I agree on that statement.

    The media is untrustworthy, but usually not for the reasons people think.

    Journalists will arrive to a technical facility in search for an article, ask questions, take notes, nod as if they had understood the answers, then write a mangled mess because they know not what they are writing about. The name of the game is writing as many articles as possible, in the tiniest amount of time. Devoting time to understanding and verifying your sources is burdersome.

    Seriously, I have seen accidents that were reported as dog attacks by newspapers. News about some miracle medical machine that had just been brought to town, when such machine had been working in the town for a decade already.

    You don't need shady conspiranoic interests to explain why the media is unreliable. Ineptitude suffices as explanation. - And then, I am sure cospiranoic interests exist. With all the Coronalipsis going on, many Spanish Journalists are being kicked out of successful programs and newspapers, which begs some questions.
