"The larger message that a lot of people are going to take from this story is that the news media are a bunch of leftist liars who are dying to get the president, and they're willing to lie to do it," Toobin said. "And I don't think that's true."

Gee, Toobin. The majority of Americans already realize that most of the media are leftist liars.

We will know that the media are serious about their reputations when they start cleaning up their act by reporting news, unbiased and unfiltered. Until then, we'll continue to take everything they publish with a huge grain of salt.

In the wake of the BuzzFeed story? Heck, I have seen them as liars for decades at this point.

Maybe in the past. Now Goebells would have them shot for incompetence.

We on the other hand just mock them. After all, they are the violent ones just like the National Socialists, not us.

Our approach is working because they are eminently mockable.

The spin on CNN is “the information is not inaccurate,the source was”

HUH?

Remember Dan Rather? Fake but accurate!

But hopefully for some dumb down Americans it might be the nail in the coffin for a few.

I agree with your analysis.

Imagine the shoe on the other foot. Imagine about 5 years ago, if someone in the Honolulu Records office reported that they were told to lie about Obama’s Hawaiian birth. How would the news media respond?

1. Ignore the story completely. OR
2. Decry how the office of president was not being respected. OR
3. Tell us this is a false story put out by a “birther”.

In other words, any story negative about a Republican President (especially Trump) is immediately blasted across headlines and the airwaves. And the retraction is either not at all or pg b10 in a little box in the corner.

While any story negative toward a Democrat President (especially Obama) is ignored or the people making the charge are called names and the charge itself is ignored.

In general, this has happened all the way back to Nixon, Ford, Carter, Bush, both Clintons and Bush.

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched anything on CNN, and for obvious reasons.

There is already many comments on this, so perhaps no one will read this. The media, I am certain, knew the buzzfeed story was a lie. Buzzfeed, in my opinion, ran the story to create a News Frenzy to distract from the congressional testimony of Bruce Ohr. They didn’t have anything in the cycle to spotlight, so they just ran with a fake story, then blamed buzzfeed.

They have to keep the Trump hating base uninformed, because any descent knowledgeable person who understands spygate, and now its direct connection to Dirty Mueller (yes Bruce Ohr stated that Mueller KNEW what was going on with the dossier, and hired Many people involved in its fraud to the FISA court), can only now accept that our federal government is corrupt, illegal, and no longer serving the will of the people. That reality is devastating for leftists, as well as its implication for Obama, Clinton’s, and just about every Democratic Party leader. You cannot care about your Constitution, rule of law, and your fellow Americans and be in this group after understanding spygate. Yes, you can be for communism and hate America and still be democrat.

The only option that the ‘democratic communists/socialists’ have is to misinform the masses to prevent a fractured ‘democratic’ party from evaporating numbers and support. George Soros, our enemies, and the media understand this, and that’s why the act like they do. It’s mostly not fake news actually, it’s diversion from the important news, as well as non reporting of relevant news.

Mary Mapes and Dan Rather were proud of BuzzFeed, CNN and MSNBC.

relied on "documents and texts uncovered by the Mueller Investigation

Trump doesn't email or text, he twitters. So claiming they have "seen" or "been read in" on documents is a lie, there are no documents. Mueller came out swinging because the AG was being urged to begin a investigation on who committed the felony on Mueller's team, by leaking.

That's the message all right, and yes, it IS true.

I have not believed them since the Gulf War and the “BABY MILK FACTORY”.... They are literally the equivalent of Goebbels propaganda style.

They have already started their counter defense with the “ tell us which parts”. That way they will hype any little potential “ weasel worded” item they can. Those who hate The Donald will then harp on / magnify this with a renewed emphasis on he has to go

“I just think this is a bad day for us … It reinforces every bad stereotype about the news media,” he added.

******************

It doesn’t reinforce, it CONFIRMS the stereotype and PROVES they are a bunch of liars. Which is what most honest and sensible Americans already know.
