This article hits the proverbial nail on the head. Only the dumbest among us believe much of what we read or see in the media news these days. They've proven to be partisan hack liars on steroids.

It's one of the greatest benefits bestowed on us by Trump, the greatest threat to leftist Marxism and the media we have ever known.

The media’s road to ruin its own credibility in war on Trump

Nearly seven years after most media abandoned standards of fairness in a stampede to defeat Donald Trump, it is widely accepted that those outlets can not be trusted to deliver accurate reports. Rather than perform the journalists’ duty of informing the public of news, many of today’s reporters and editors concoct narratives about events that consistently align with the agenda of the Democratic Party.

This overt embrace of partisanship is a major factor in two developments roiling the nation. The first is a hardening of polarization that deeply divides voters and leaves government unable to agree on solutions to even basic problems.

The second is that mistrust of the media is proving contagious, with Americans losing faith in most institutions, including those in the private sector as well as government.

Even the military, which long stood above the political fray, suffers from declining public trust, adding to fears that America is headed toward a second civil war and is more vulnerable to foreign adversaries.

Another example involves former FBI agent Peter Strzok, whom Gerth says was an anonymous source for the Times. Although Strzok wrote emails revealing his hatred of Trump, and said the Republican would never become president because “We’ll stop it,” he also turned down an offer to join Mueller’s team. Writing to a colleague, Strzok said that was because “there’s no big there, there.”

Gerth writes that Strzok’s message, when it was revealed in 2018, “was cited dozens of times in news stories, including the lead of an article in The Wall Street Journal and further down in a piece by The Washington Post. The Times, however, did not mention the message in a story — that day, or in the coming years.”

That was typical of a flaw he finds — the frequent refusal of the Times to include information that would undercut its slant.

Although Gerth reports on the devious ways Hillary Clinton and her team fed the FBI and media false stories about Trump and Russia, I believe her role deserved a greater emphasis given its impact.

Also note the big divide between the Left / Democrats who generally trust media more--still a minority but more--than the other roughly two-thirds of the population.

The funniest part of that article is that when questions were asked of Gerth and the CJR about Gerth's errors, they responded by saying, "We stand by our reporting."

Marcy Wheeler did a post about Gerth and starts it by saying he managed to get to 18 words before he made his first factual mistake. She then goes on to point out the multiple factual errors that Gerth made.

The media hated Trump so much that they revealed themselves to be propagandists.

Ah, it wasn't the media who tore down recognition of institutions, rather your Messiah, attempting to undercut anything that challenged him, from elections, to justice system, to law enforcemen, to Congress, to even the Constitution itself

But that isn't the funniest part of "copy and paste's" post, rather that Murdoch supposedly attacking a media that he s very much part of, and the "partisan" bit is really hysterical considering who Murdoch's outlets are, beautiful, has to be the laugh of the day

Oh, oh, I forgot, as a warning, now we are going to see all the "you are ........., and a ........," probably followed by "copy" employing one of his other pseudonyms to include a corny copy and past picture or cartoon, predictable

How desperate is "copy," now he has to return to Strzok, Strzok of Strzok and Page fame, where the right wing cherrypicked a dozen or so phrases, some as short as two words, from over five thousand plus text messages, lets repeat that, a dozen or so phrases, some as short as two words, from over five thousand plus text messages, to supposedly prove the FBI had a plot to do in Trump

"Copy's" posts just get funnier by the offering

Translation; you've never read anything from Gerth and accept the rantings of other leftist loons as fact. Got it. :palm:
