Re: The Fourth Estate and Politics
There are nearly half as many newspaper journalists today as there were a decade ago. There are only a few organizations who own most of the newspapers and news stations that are available.
Fewer people to fact check, more pressure to make bucks. I'm not sure what the answer is to get the industry back to where it was, but it's a sad thing to see.
That being said, this kind of propaganda is a danger to America:

They, along with many of you, despise any NEW agents of information. Lots and lots of websites, youtube channels, etc. to get your news from.

Re: The Fourth Estate and Politics
Holmes, I think you are really validating his point. By virtue of the 24.7 news cycle there are no checks and balances, if an error is made you simple edit the web page immediately or pump out the same story with a new headline. BHO said a very similar thing while in office. It is simply morphed into something uncontrollable.

Re: The Fourth Estate and Politics
Yes. And you're left trusting Trump and our government's political leaders for the "real news". Sweet. And that, of course, is exactly what millions of Americans do.
And why? Because journalism isn't perfect, and because these people think that journalistic bias was invented in 1999.
I've said this before----make someone who believes this crap say it out loud without laughing: "I believe the leader of the Federal Government over any member of our free press".
"Yes, comrade. Of course I believe Government Leader Trump over the free press. Only leader Trump knows the truth. Now you'll excuse me while I stand for my State-mandated Loyalty Song!"

The problem being that Trump's comments are directed at some of the more accurate and trustworthy news sources out there. Or any sources that criticize him.youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 3:15 pm Holmes, I think you are really validating his point.

If he was suggesting that we encourage more people to be journalists, increase journalistic standards and pay and offered suggestions to fix the 24/7 news cycle, then he might actually have a solid base to stand on.

Re: The Fourth Estate and Politics
I disagree on your last comment diss. He has, on many occasions, commented about positive news departments other than Fox. And you also know his vernacular is such that a 3rd grader gets the jist of what he is saying. You should also know, there is no way in hell journalism will EVER give him a consistent positive message....which means he can tear it down all he wants, he ain't ever gonna make that happen. And I know you have seen poor journalism get worse and worse over the years....even in BHO's days.holmes435 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 4:29 pmThe problem being that Trump's comments are directed at some of the more accurate and trustworthy news sources out there.

I do agree with you 100%, that if he delivered his message more clearly he may see a change in what gets printed....but he seems incapable of backing down after he picks a fight.

ex.For its report, the Media Research Center did a lot of visual spadework. It viewed some 1,007 evening news stories about the Trump White House on ABC, CBS and NBC from June 1 to Sept. 30. That's the equivalent of about 32.7 hours of coverage, by TV standards an eternity of news time.
What they found was, as Trump himself might say, sad: "Over the summer, the broadcast networks have continued to pound Donald Trump and his team with the most hostile coverage of a president in TV news history — 92% negative, vs. just 8% positive."_Investors Business Daily 10/10/2018

For the Court-Nerds out there, check this out:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/1 ... 2_ihdk.pdf
This is Justice Thomas's opinion concurring in a denial of certiorari (appeal) to the SCOTUS. He urges the Court to reexamine the bedrock libel/defamation law. Take a look; I'd be very interested in anyone's/everyone's thoughts on the issues he raises and his thinking.
Oh, and you might consider (1) what Thomas is proposing here, and (2) who Thomas's wife is and how, on occasion, she is reported in the press.

SO, is it just NOT newsworthy that Obama's corruption and 10 cents a year "rental" of Chicago City park land lawsuit is allowed to move forward?
https://www.apnews.com/1d045094f74f458dad75bd12183ee67c
City lawyers conceded Thursday that Chicago would pay an estimated $175 million to reconfigure roads to manage traffic around the center.
Tell us all again about building that, not, level playing fields, rich getting richer........isn't that the ranting lies of the pretends? What Lizzie Warren think about this boondoggle? Sure the "press" isn't interested in the hypocrizy
