The first ten days of December have seen:

  1. ABC News's Brian Ross lie about General Flynn's plea bargain.
  2. Reuters and Bloomberg News report on an imaginary subpoena of Trump's records at a German bank.
  3. CNN lie about Donald Trump Junior being tipped off about a WikiLeaks.
  4. David Weigel of the Washington Post lie about the size of the crowd at a Trump rally.


Liars all of them.

Byron Tau of the Wall Street Journal tweeted: "CNN corrects its earlier report, which appears to be an honest error from two excellent reporters."

He's a fool.

Wiser heads know better.




Trump is cleaning up journalism
Well, journalists had another stellar week of buying petards from Acme, setting the explosives off, and hoisting themselves high above the ground.

1. Ross was suspended

2. Deutsche Bank is under no obligation to tell Trump's lawyers if the bank's records have been subpoenaed...so the lawyer's refuting the story is not a confirmation that the request didn't happen. BTW...according to the Financial Times, the organization that broke the story was a German newspaper: https://global.handelsblatt.com/fin...ia-investigation-engulfs-deutsche-bank-861185 Is Trump "cleaning up" international journalism too? I don't see Handlesblatt on your list...or FT

3. CNN was wrong and issued a correction.

4. David Weigel apologized and removed the twitter post.

In contrast, when all the errors are pointed out in your sources they don't issue corrections. The errors are intentional. The errors are there to feed the conspiracy theory and keep little minds brainwashed.

Journalists make errors. The ethical ones correct them.

Propagandists, like the majority of your sources, cherry pick facts, distort reports and outright lie as a means to an end. Trump is unqualified, always has been, always will be. Nothing your sources say will change that.

The distinction is that ethical ones work harder to not make them in the first place, and editors should catch the few that get through. But what's odd is that the errors always seem to happen in one direction..... can you explain why no reporter ever seems to make an error that makes Trump look better rather than worse?

I went ahead an fixed that for you.



Hey!

Don't mention it.





It does seem that it happens an awful lot compared to other presidents. Even W, who the press also hated - but not nearly with the transparent fervor with which they hate Trump.
Maybe if they could put a leash on their massive throbbing erections every time they think they score dirt on 45, they wouldn't constantly be making themselves look so foolish.

It isn't a matter of journalists correcting mistakes.

It's not a mistake when you fabricate something and the print a fine print retraction on page 19.

It's slander.

If I were Trump - I'd swear I'd be out there dropping anonymous tips about completely and easily proven false stuff.

I keep bringing this story up but - remember the "reset" button? They could have found the correct word from ANY Russian.
That was an embarrassment that really needn't have happened, and she claimed they "researched" it.

These news stories were EASILY proven false based on the dates.
The Wikileaks thing was easily shown to be false based on a simple look at the material.
The Flynn thing, going to the Russians about the vote against Israel? AFTER the election (so it could never have been collusion) and not before?
It wasn't researched at all. Like Hillary's reset button. They didn't check at all.

Because it was extremely easy to prove it was wrong.

Remember when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

You have been corrected and told the qualifications for being POTUS like 8 million times just on these forums, and still you parrot the same talking point.

Serious question:

Are you stupid?

Trump cannot do much with journalists.
They have a fraternity of socialism and liberalism and trying to dissuade them could even be against the Constitution.
They have the right to print almost anything, and they do, whether it is true or not.

But he needs to get rid of about half of the FBI.
What a nest of vipers that has turned out to be.
