The Mainstream Media Doesn’t Deserve Our Respect or Our Trust

The Mainstream Media Doesn’t Deserve Our Respect or Our Trust

. . . "You mainstream media hacks want trust and respect? Maybe you shouldn’t Tweet out instructions to contact Senators to defeat the tax bill like the New York Times just did. Maybe you should stop covering for the off-camera leering and grabbing and pinching of the talking heads who excoriate Trump for misogyny. Maybe you should stop hiring journalists who are ex-Obama flunkies. Maybe you shouldn’t email offers of assistance to Democrat campaigns. Maybe you should stop lying to us. Then maybe voters might trust you. Maybe people might respect you. And maybe you wouldn’t deserve the contempt we normals hold you in."

ABC News has announced that Brian Ross would be suspended for four weeks without pay “effective immediately.”
. . . "Ross came under considerable fire on Friday after he erroneously reported on live television that then-candidate Donald Trump had instructed Michael Flynn to make contact with the Russians. In a correction seven hours later, the channel admitted that it was “President-elect” Trump who had made the request of Flynn — a pretty significant difference." . . .

Recall that the MSM desperately wanted shooters to be TEA Party people.
. . . "Though Sherwood acknowledged Ross' error, he defended another controversial piece of ABC News reporting. The network had reported that Holmes' mother said "you have the right person" when it contacted her to ask if her son was the shooter. She has since said she was referring to herself to let the reporter know she was Holmes' mother." . . .
