MSM Now Running With Their Pants on Fire
Canada Free Press ^ | 12/10/17 | Judi McLeod

Once again, you called it right, President Trump!

The truth FINALLY got its pants back on Friday while mainstream media liars were caught flashing their dirty undies at the masses, their lies having already traveled halfway around the world.

This time, the odious stench of burning coming from CNN, CBS, MSNBC and the far more cunning Washington Post, all of whose pants were on fire, went viral.

With most attention riveted on Liar King CNN, CBS and MSNBC came jumping, flames and all, into the lie pit‚Äîallowing the WaPo’s David Weigel to almost wiggle out of his lies.

At what point do the companies that buy advertising begin to fear being tarred with the liar brush?

The Washington Post, for example, relies heavily on ads from DC-area automobile dealerships, which don’t have the best reputation to begin with. An enterprising GOP strategist could start a meme along the lines of: “How do you know you can trust a car from a company that advertises in the lying Washington Post?”

The WaPo probably hasn’t made any money in years. It’s subsidized by Jeff Bezos and his Amazon billions.

With observant writers Judi McLeod, I find myself wishing Canada was officially a part of the United States. I know the Canadians would never allow that to happen. It’s enough that they are a part of North America.

Canada has more than its share of left-wing media. Newspapers that were once considered “conservative”, like the Globe and Mail or Toronto Sun, have drifted away. In fact, the CBC at times can make NPR look like a bunch of raving right wingers.

Washington D.C. and much of northern Virginia/Southern Maryland is solid left, so it isn't that much of an issue. The national edition of the Washington Post likely has different advertisers. Bezos will take the tax write-off and keep the difference in political influence. The owners of the Washington Times do similar.

Media has been doing this for decades. Trump is only just calling them on it.

Funny! I wonder if they even realize Trump’s call for any who have a proven record of putting out fake news be fired is a slap at them for wanting Moore to step down because of unsubstantiated charges they are treating as Gospel....
