Scandal Rap Sheet: 48 Reasons to Distrust & Despise the Media

Breitbart ^ | May 19, 2015 | John Nolte

[QT3.14]

The American mainstream media is filled to the brim with liars, frauds, partisans, cheats, plagiarists, and those who tolerate, defend and enable all of them. There is no American institution — not the NFL, not the tobacco companies, not any corporation or enterprise regularly targeted by the media — that engages in anywhere near the amount of fraud and dishonesty that serially oozes from Our Media Overlords.

Forget bias for a moment. Forget mistakes and misstatements and stupid or nasty things said during live telecasts. There isn’t enough Internet to begin to list the countless instances of left-wing bias and politicking and idiocy the media engage in. What I’ve accumulated below is the scripted, planned and intentional.

People DO distrust and despise the media.

Except when it tells them what they want to hear. Then they worship at its feet.

[rktman]

Again, shortlist?

[dainbramaged]

Only 48 reasons?

[Rockitz]

...plus thousands and thousands of misleading and incomplete statements and stories at every level of the media on a daily basis.

A more correct sentence has never been written.

[The_Media_never_lie]

With smarminess, I should add.

...plus thousands and thousands of misleading and incomplete statements and stories at every level of the media on a daily basis.

They do more damage by what they REFUSE to report. Their ability to control the information streams needs to be destroyed.

[VRW Conspirator]

Sadly, these media overlords can sway a percentage of the voters during elections. A small percentage but large enough to hand an election to the Dems.

[drunknsage]

Progressive outrage sells. The main thing people need to focus on is combating it. The best way to do is through ridicule and there is no better place the social media. Expose, provoke, ridicule.

[QT3.14]

Adding to the media bias in recent times

[9thLife]

Social media is a despot’s dream.

[9thLife]

And let me add just a little bit more: once everyone’s personal porn flick is attached to his name, there’s going to be a wave of despair washing over them. They’ll be ostracized and marginalized everywhere except, maybe — just maybe — in the Church.

[Amagi]

I remember the day, more than 20 years ago now, when I lost all trust and confidence in the integrity of the lame stream media.
Any thing from that source must be met with a healthy measure of skepticism, if not totally ignored.
