How the media can keep from beclowning itself

This is a problem that a little actual journalism can fix.


. . . "This was the original report that sold this hoax to America: "Empire star Jussie Smollett was brutally attacked by 2 men who beat him up, put his head in a noose and screamed, "This is MAGA country.'  . . ."
"The Smollett story was Fake Noose.
"Robert Stacy McCain, a fellow ex-newspaperman, believes federal prosecutors may get Smollett.
"Meanwhile, lawyers are putting the New York Times and others Fake News artisans on the meter as the Covington Catholic Kids file their lawsuits. Good luck convincing a judge that a 16-year-old kid is a public figure.
"Journalism is not the problem with the news media today. Ignoring journalism is." . . . 


CBS’s Lara Logan on Media Bias: ‘Unless You Seek Out Breitbart,’ You Won’t See the ‘Other Side’  "Lara Logan, foreign correspondent for CBS’s 60 Minutes, said Breitbart News offers “the other side” of news media relative to what she described as a mostly left-wing and partisan Democrat news landscape in the U.S. and abroad.
"She offered her remarks in an interview published last Friday with the Mike Drop podcast, hosted by retired Navy SEAL Mike Ritland."Ritland characterized U.S. news media as “absurdly left-leaning” and supportive of Democrats, further describing the status quo of American news media’s left-wing and partisan Democrat biases as a “huge f**king problem” and “disaster for this country.” . . .
