Stories are by definition made up.

What we want are reports.

What a LIAR this guy is!

BTW, HEY DAN, next time you fabricate the news.....check for the appropriate type font. Maybe you won’t get busted so often?

I wonder if had the Media Research Center been around back in about 1972-73, Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew might have stayed on as President and Vice President for their full terms. Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite probably would not have gotten away with the nonsense they threw at the American public on a nightly basis.

Yep you can’t make this stuff up. A prominent person who actually clearly did make up a news story, lamenting that people think the media make things up.

Incredible that he can say this with a straight face.

I don’t think they make up stories as much as they don’t report stories.

If they make up something, they can be found out pretty easily in today’s information age.

If they just ignore something or do their usual out of context editing, the Lie is out there and is inadvertently repeated when somebody adds the part that was omitted and looks defensive in the process.

They are a sneaky bunch.

shouldn’t he be lamenting that the media spreads lies and distortions, instead of staying with the facts?

We don’t “think” that.

We know it.
