Re: How many media outlets will go back and apologize for their fake news?
two things- one- no I don’t really follow many right wing sources. Mostly liberal sources. And they don’t give a shit. That’s what I’m saying. If the goal of the headline was to get liberals in a tizzy about a tree then it didn’t really work since no one actually cares other than goose types who get all worked up about nothing on the reg.Rocinante wrote:Travis of the Cosmos wrote:
I think you’re not understanding why other people are saying “who gives a shit.”
It’s because no one gives a shit. Not just here. Not the bin. In fact, the bin is the only reason I’m even aware of this harrowing tree story. It’s not like there are people out there running around talking about this shit. No one cares. So it’s either that people actually do read the article (your penchant for underestimating people is now famously noted) or just no one cares. He’s just trying to drum up some drama while ignoring the blatant lies he swallows every day about things that actually matter.
I saw it prior to seeing it here, Travis. I do not follow many right wing news outlets, but if I noticed the biased headline, I guarantee they did. Logic dictates that there are people on the fence about believing the "fake news" bullshit the president tweets. This kind of thing is a perfect example of something that fuels his fire. Regardless of how unimportant the actual story is, news outlets made the headline partisan. They can't afford to do that.
Two- I flatly disagree with the boldest part whole heartedly. First I don’t even think “they made it partisan” is the right word for the harrowing tree story. Second I think the media’s constant insistence on trying to toe the line and not offend anyone by calling out the reality that’s in front of their face is a lot of what got us here in the first place.

I completely agree, the media obsession with Trump was one of the factors that pushed him over the edge to victory. They still haven't figured out how to focus on the important stories like his campaign's ties to Russia or his blatant attempts to further enrich the 1% and ignore his constant stream of headline grabbing distractions. But my point is that CNN / The Hill / HuffPo / MSN need to stop giving him fuel. NYT and WaPo for the most part are doing great work. They do some serious vetting before running with anything. Any other news reporting agency needs to do the same. Or we need to come up with another category of news-ertainment or something so that people know not to lump it with legitimate news.

Re: How many media outlets will go back and apologize for their fake news?
The right wing "news" sites in my google news feed were all trumpeting Jenna Fischer's incorrect tweet about the teacher personal expense deduction. Man, it was everywhere. And the irony was thick enough to cut. "She has so many followers, she shouldn't be putting out false information."
But, just like Goose's mindset here, this one actress criticizing the GOP plan -- incorrectly, in this case -- and the Right jumps all over it as if the woman from The Office suddenly represents all Dems and Libs.
Ridiculous.

Not partial truth. Truthful.
It wasn't a lie, but there was more to the story than what was contained in the headline, so I think "partial truth" is an entirely fair description. It was a stupid headline about a complete non-story. It shouldn't exist for any number of reasons.

Okay, I'll drop the charade, but don't tell Goose. I agree with what you and Roc have said. The headline is incredibly misleading. To paraphrase a line in the journo classic Absence of Malice: That headline is factually correct, but it's not the truth.
Damnit, it was more fun playing on Goose's conspiracy fears.

Re: How many media outlets will go back and apologize for their fake news?
This brings up a question. How much leeway is given to the first family on what they can do to the outside of the White House? I know they get to redecorate the inside to a certain point. What if Trump wants to put a bunch of statues of himself backdooring the statue of liberty in the rose garden. Can he do that?

One would hope he'd erect a statue of Goose first as a representation of his voting base.

Re: How many media outlets will go back and apologize for their fake news?
Loose, what do you think about the media not reporting on the signing statement Trump issued when he recently signed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2018?
Through his signing statement, he contested several sections of the Act that address the Russia threat, and also called into question the legitimacy of the White House Office of Special Counsel.
While the reasons offered up seem legitimate, if the media was out to get Trump, they could be tearing him apart over this.

Re: How many media outlets will go back and apologize for their fake news?
Not fake, just resolved months ago....
NBC News has produced yet another establishmetn press story to cap off a year of media sloppiness unlike any other.
On Friday, the network breathlessly tweeted out a copy of a search warrant "made public today," directed at "an e-mail address associated with Trump surrogate and former Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr."
That the warrant itself was dated March 7 apparently didn't curb NBC's enthusiasm.
Here's NBC's opening tweet (full search warrant is at the link):
NBC sent out three additional tweets describing the supposedly breaking matter:
There was only one problem. This potential criminal matter was resolved almost eight months ago, and no civil-rights charges were filed against Clarke. Reason.com's C.J. Ciaramella was able to figure that out barely a half-hour after NBC's original tweet, and well before the network's third and fourth tweets (HT Twitchy):

It's common tactics ce among small government conservatives who defend the shithole pussy grabber.
Big fonts to push other comments off the page.
Hopefully all the shit holers in Florida get to the polls and keep Rick Scott out of the US Senate

Oops! Facebook, Snopes Come Down Hard On Christian Satire Site
The image above is the one that went along with the story. But, according to fact-checking site Snopes, enough people took this satirical metaphor seriously that a fact-check was deemed necessary. “Did CNN Purchase an Industrial-Sized Washing Machine to Spin News?” Well, no, because it was satire! But Snopes, knowing it was satire, still rated it “False” as if it were an actual factual claim.
Oops! Facebook, Snopes Come Down Hard On Christian Satire Site
ATLANTA, GA—In order to aid the news station in preparing stories for consumption, popular news media organization CNN purchased an industrial-sized washing machine to help its journalists and news anchors spin the news before publication.
The custom-made device allows CNN reporters to load just the facts of a given issue, turn a dial to “spin cycle,” and within five minutes, receive a nearly unrecognizable version of the story that’s been spun to fit with the news station’s agenda.

The Times Best-Seller List: Another Reason Americans Don’t Trust the Media
The Times Best-Seller List: Another Reason Americans Don’t Trust the Media
As a writer (who, for the record, had a previous book on that list), I have long known it isn’t a best-seller list, and I don’t pay attention to it. But I paid attention last week to see whether my recently published book, which opened up on Amazon as the second-best-selling book in America, was on the list. It wasn’t.
The book, The Rational Bible: Exodus, the first volume of a five-volume commentary on the first five books of the Bible (the Torah), was No. 2 in nonfiction on the Wall Street Journal best-seller list; No. 2 on the Publishers Weekly nonfiction best-seller list; No. 1 on Ingram, the largest book wholesaler in the country; and, according to Nielsen BookScan, the organization that tracks 75 to 85 percent of book sales, No. 2 in hardcover nonfiction. In fact, according to BookScan, it outsold 14 of the 15 books on the New York Times hardcover nonfiction best-seller list. But again, it is not even listed on the New York Times best-seller list.
New York Times spokesman Jordan Cohen told the Associated Press: “Our goal is that the lists reflect authentic best-sellers. The political views of authors have no bearing on our rankings, and the notion that we would manipulate the lists to exclude books for political reasons is simply ludicrous.”
According to the New York Times, it is “simply ludicrous” to question why a conservative book and a religious book, which are the No. 1 and No. 2 books, respectively, on every best-seller list other than that of the New York Times, do not even appear on the Times list.

Re: How many media outlets will go back and apologize for their fake news?
Another case of the guy calling many things "Fake News" caught lying....again
From the link:
"The posting corroborates the account of Rob Goldstone, Emin Agalarov’s British publicist, who in “Russian Roulette” describes the Nov. 8 lunch in great detail as well as Trump’s attendance at a birthday party for Aras Agalarov later that night. According to Goldstone, Trump stayed at the party until 1:30 a.m. before returning to his hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton.
The next day, Nov. 9, Trump is still in Moscow, tweeting about the great time he was having in Moscow and how he was looking forward to the Miss Universe pageant that night. “I was just given a great tour of Moscow — fantastic, hard working people. CITY IS REALLY ENERGIZED! The World will be watching tonight!” Trump wrote in a tweet posted at 6:21 a.m. on Nov. 9.
Keith Schiller, Trump’s longtime security chief, who accompanied him on the trip, corroborated that Trump spent the evening in the city at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel when he testified behind closed doors before the House Intelligence Committee. As recounted by NBC News, the New York Times and other news organizations, Schiller told the panel that on the day they arrived he was approached by an unidentified Russian who offered to send five prostitutes to his hotel room that evening — an offer that Schiller said he turned down.
“That night, two sources said, Schiller said he discussed the conversation with Trump as Trump was walking back to his hotel room, and Schiller said the two men laughed about it as Trump went to bed alone,” according to the NBC News account of Schiller’s testimony. “Schiller testified that he stood outside Trump’s hotel room for a time and then went to bed.

Will Fox “News” and other sites on the Right apologize to Jim Acosta and CNN for lying to its audiences about a Jim Acosta quote that he never said? Highly doubtful.

Wiretapping corrections by NBC and ABC bookend a rough week for the media
Make the false accusation - 1/2 the people see the correction.
Make the false accusation - 1/2 the people see the correction.
NBC reported Thursday afternoon that federal investigators had wiretapped the phone lines of Trump attorney Michael Cohen, allowing them to eavesdrop on his calls. According to the report, “at least one phone call between a phone line associated with Cohen and the White House was intercepted.”
This was explosive stuff, and ABC soon said it had matched NBC's scoop. Within hours, however, both networks said the surveillance of Cohen was less invasive than they originally reported — not a wiretap but merely a log of numbers Cohen called.
[The very big difference between a wiretap and how the feds tracked Michael Cohen]
Media mistakes are always bad, but the nature and timing of this one make it particularly unhelpful to the Washington press corps' collective reputation.

Under what circumstance would a judge even allow the feds to get a hold of his call logs?

Who knows? Maybe the Hillary campaign paid for some more dirt to leak to the FBI.

Goose! This tweet remains up (and not corrected). As you know (I'm sure), 2 of those hostages were taken under Trump's watch...

@realDonaldTrump
As everybody is aware, the past Administration has long been asking for three hostages to be released from a North Korean Labor camp, but to no avail. Stay tuned!

Good to see you not disputing that they all spread fake crap. And if I make the occasional mistake you somehow think that makes it ok if NBC does?

Just curious...out of the 3000+ lies Trump has told, how many have you called out?
President Trump lied more than 3,000 times in 466 days

Now that Goose is gone forever I think we can finally stop worrying about the proliferation of fake news on this board. It's a win for America!

RIP, Goose.
the racist, bigoted sexual predator and his deplorables appreciate all that the mainstream media has done - and continues to do - for their pathetic cause.
