As far as I can tell they tend to pull it out of their.... fourth point of contact.

They don’t “collect the news”.

They manufacture propaganda.

Propaganda is more than just lying. It is choosing which stories to cover and which to ignore. It is using adjectives and adverbs which reflect the writer and editor bias and have nothing to do with the facts. It is using Agitation and Propaganda words and phrases which hide the truth instead of revealing it. It is playing favorites with public figures—praising those they choose and praise and slandering those they choose to hate.

We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well...

That's pretty telling. What she is lamenting is that they no longer "own" the facts - in truth, they never did. What they owned was trust, which they routinely betrayed.

The press has long ago abandoned any pretense of doing the basic requirements for an actual press.
“Who, what, when, where, why, and if known how” fell by the wayside to be replaced by soundbites and clever editing.
And as far as the press being the hound of the people against all politicians, they are lapdogs for politicians.

“”We owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well,” Tucker said.”

What a goof.

The progs owned propaganda, nothing more.

They created news, not reported it.

The LugenPresse is angry that they no longer have a monopoly on “misinformation”.

“Rebuilding Trust”

________

This is the only positive from this farce!
Even they understand that nobody trusts them!

The lost trust that 5hey never really deserved in the first place, but when they even rigged the cartoons in the papers to try and brainwash kids they lost me. It just got more and more obvious they were deliberately trying to manipulate opinion the older I got.
I can remember a time when there were two or more opposing papers in every town and when the entire speech of a president was printed, and the same for other speeches, without any commentary pro or con, and so, no bias.
Now they won’t even print one paragraph without omitting key words to twist the meaning of any announcement. Often they cannot even print an entire sentence... they always omit.

Yep. And you in the media no longer have that power.

Wonderful isn’t it?

One of Trump’s many brilliant moves was to deliberately antagonize the media. The elite talking heads’ anger toward Trump made them openly display their bias. They were always tilted toward Democrats and leftists, of course. But Trump goaded them into being much more brazen about it. Only those who vote Democrat no matter what trust the media anymore. The leftist “mainstream” “journalists” are now just “preaching to the choir” and lack the power to convince anybody to vote Democrat who wouldn’t have anyway.

“Recalling a point when the mainstream press was the chief adjudicator of information and facts, she highlighted its demise that came with the rise of alternative media platforms.“

It wasn’t the rise of alternative platforms it was your lying in service to your personal politics.

Isn’t it wonderful? They’re no longer the gatekeepers! They no longer own anything but their own opinions and research, which they’re still free to print.
