Every day, he goes lower and lower. Every damn day. What an ongoing tragedy for the country and the world. And let us remember, he’s not some lone wolf. The GOP built this and chooses to maintain it on a daily basis.

Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of fighting fascists is the blatant hypocrisy. A fascist can be exposed as a liar and fool nine out of ten times, but that one time they’re actually right about something completely validates them. Meanwhile, the antifascist can be 100% correct 19 out of 20 times – but if they get one thing wrong, it destroys their credibility.

Well, CNN are just too incompetent for this game, they should know to doublecheck ( saving money on editors is a mistake).

In 1973 Ron Ziegler jumped all over an honest but embarrassing mistake the WaPo made in its reporting on Hugh Sloan’s grand jury testimony about Haldeman and the slush fund he controlled. And yet the process continued, and the pressure was kept up. As it will here. The dogs may bark, but the caravan passes on.

Thank you Summer for keeping an eye on the motive
“Dept. Of Justice’s complaint to block AT&T’s takeover of Time Warner”
behind much of this noise…

Keep us posted

Everyone’s under a lot of pressure, you know. Nothing’s riding on this except the, uh, First Amendment to the Constitution, freedom of the press and maybe the future of the country. Not that any of that matters, but if CNN fucks up again, I’m going to get mad.

I’m still surprised he managed to restrain himself (or he was locked in a closet) after the Franken resignation. Oh, and did people see this? Now he’s pissed off pet owners. I would say that’s quite a large and passionate demographic. And only the highest-class people call others low class, right?

The Fox News Channel and a wealthy supporter of President Trump worked in concert under the watchful eye of the White House to concoct a story about the death of a young Democratic National Committee aide, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Fox’s president of news, Jay Wallace, told NPR on Monday that there was no “concrete evidence” that Wheeler was misquoted by the reporter, Malia Zimmerman. The news executive did not address a question about the story’s allegedly partisan origins. Fox News declined to allow Zimmerman to comment for this story.

President Trump took to Twitter early Thursday morning to bash the “out of control” news media while praising the Trump-friendly Fox News morning show “Fox & Friends.”

The networks published corrections. Does Trump ever apologize for his lies? Does he ever make a correction? Fake president.

Oh they all understand it all too well. They know they can brainwash their demographic .
They know exactly what they are doing.
Exactly.
You can watch the decline beginning on:
October 7, 1996
In February 1996, after former NBC executive and Republican political strategist Roger Ailes left America’s Talking (now MSNBC), Murdoch called him to start the Fox News Channel. Ailes worked individuals through five months of 14-hour workdays and several weeks of rehearsal shows before launch, on October 7, 1996.

He will be doing the same thing while leaving the White House grounds in disgrace after the same fake news outlets report why it is happening.

There’s a difference between a malicious lie and an honest mistake. There’s also a difference between apologizing and issuing a correction versus blithely pretending the lie is actually true. Anyone who’s not a Trump apologist understands that.

I have to admit I’m still a little shocked at how lacking in character many Republicans are, especially after lecturing us over the decades about their “Moral majority”.
