It is a great movie.

However during the movie I was thinking that as bad as they are railroading/mistreating Richard Jewell, what they are trying to do to President Trump is 100 times worse.

The large media companies are corrupt liars to put it mildly.

I’m not real sure how seriously I can take an “apology” to a guy who’s 12 years dead, especially when it ends with “Sure I ruined this guy’s life and helped hound him into an early grave but hey, I became a better person for it.” Good to know, Tom.

As my above quote from the movie "Network" shows, this has been evident for many, many years.

There are no more journalists today; there was this one guy who traveled around the US writing stuff but he died and along with it journalists. These bobble headed news readers are just that - news readers (fake news readers).

I bet! Brokaw has about as much sympathy for Richard Jewell as the abortionist woman has for the babies whose vocal cords she severed so she wouldn’t hear them screaming . . .

Did Brokaw personally contact Jewell? Donald Trump would have.

Paul Sperry is exceptional, a first class journalist all the way.

But your sentiment is accurate in that the legacy media has been bought out by six Oligarch-controlled corporations that have revamped all the main and downstream news studios into a propaganda network with managers that convey 4:00 am talking points retrieved from a phone recording that is destroyed two hours later.

No he did not, but Jewell is dead so this is all fluff and ass-covering.

True but they think they’re free in what they report - according to the will of the conglomerates whomever they are.

The hyenas called. They object to being compared to journalists and state that hyenas are nowhere near as unsavory. They also wish to note that unlike journalists, they provide an honest service.

Creepy Dunce Joe Biden remarked when news came out of his son’s and his corruption, “you don’t see that anywhere, nobody is talking about it.”

He believes if the propaganda media is not talking about it, it doesn’t exist.

Recently at one of his sparsely attended ‘rallies’ he told a lie to which an attendee called him on it, words to effect, “That’s a lie Joe” to which Biden responded “No it’s not a lie” and the attendee’s reply “Yes it is Joe, it’s a lie. Son of a bitch, he got fired eh Joe? Trump is innocent!”

Joe is learning people are waking up and getting information that bypasses his publicly maligned information channels.

While Obama, knowing Biden is a flop, cozies up to Warren saying women are smarter than men to get the women vote. His string pullers know the Alt-Media is an existential threat and are breaking toward securing the suburban women vote who are unfortunately tuned into ‘The View’, ‘Rachel Maddow’, and other assorted garbage. I never watch that crap, only hear about it on social media or FR.
