In the end, it proved that the Establishment Media became the equivalent of the Nazi Völkicher Beobachter and the Soviet Union-era Pravda and Izvestia. No wonder newspapers and news magazines are a shadow of their former selves.

"Corrections went out of style, bombshells fizzled"

...truth was held in contempt, and the news media continued its degeneration into a crass, mendacious political propaganda machine.

[PGalt]

Propaganda is part and parcel of this overtaken shattered republic...er CRIMINAL STATE.

Political analysis in Rolling Stoner is always good for a laugh.

Gosh I wonder where President Trump got the idea that Baltimore was a shithole?

Bernie Sanders likens West Baltimore to 'Third World' country

[Raycpa]

Projecting on steroids.

These holier than thou types are the worst hypocrites

shame on the news media for claiming to be impartial. it’s nothing more than a propaganda machine for the. left-wing

Cowards who can’t be honest about anything especially when it comes to the PC crowd. Theyre ass kissers supreme

Matt Taibbi hilariously opines that the problem is them (someone else in the media), not us.

It's you Matt.

[catnipman]

“and the problems were far from exclusive to the political right.”

interesting non sequitur preceding an article that almost exclusively relates the propaganda failures and the blatant lies of the leftist media ...

[yesthatjallen]

Matt Taibbi is screaming in a vacuum.

The mainstream media is never honestly introspective. Sure, when they have a colossal failure they'll drag out the old, 'we can do better' trope.

Other than that, they see themselves as the self-appointed arbitrators of 'truth' even if they have to make it up as they go along (The Russia/Collusion Narrative). Think of the New York Times' own narrative to describe themselves; 'All the News that's Fit to Print'.

During my 18 months in SEA, I observed that whenever the news media reported on an event of which I had personal knowledge, they not only got it wrong but almost exactly backwards. My experience since then has reinforced that observation.
