B-Man Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Four major journalistic errors in just 10 hours. If you think the news industry’s credibility problem is bad now, you haven’t seen anything yet. It is going to get much, much worse the closer we get to Election Day, if Tuesday’s slipshod news reporting and commentary is any indication. The New York Times’s Maggie Haberman, for example, tweeted the following falsehood at around 5:30 p.m. Monday evening: “Republican voter registration in NH is down roughly 20k voters from 2016 to now. It’s a reminder that Trump’s increased GOP popularity is in part because in some places, the GOP registration rolls have shrunk.” This is not only false, but it has been debunked several times. At some point, repeating the lie becomes a choice. Earlier than that, MSNBC’s Katy Tur, who hosts a politics news show, sought to throw cold water on the strong economic numbers touted by the Trump White House, arguing that the economy is not working for the individual who spends up to 360 months paying off his car loan. “When I ask people if they’re voting for Donald Trump, I hear about their 401(k)s a lot,” she said during a live broadcast from New Hampshire, “but there are those out there who don't have a 401(k), and there are those out there who this economy is not really working for them.” Tur added, “They might have a job, but it's not a job that pays their bills. They can get a car, but it's a loan that will take 30 years.” I have no idea what she is talking about. I don’t think even she knows. (What else is new?) Car loans can take anywhere between 12 and 84 months to pay off. Who are these people agreeing to 30-year car loans? (Follow up question: Are they looking to finance a new car? No reason.) Earlier that morning, CNN’s Cristina Alesci warned viewers to be wary of recently surfaced audio of 2020 Democratic candidate Mike Bloomberg proudly promoting the stop-and-frisk policies he championed as mayor of New York City. After all, the CNN reporter claimed, as we don’t have the full audio of the former mayor’s remarks, we don’t have the full context. But this is not true. The full audio of Bloomberg’s comments has been available online since 2015. “So, here's the thing, important context here," she said. "We don't have the full tape." Alesci continued, “So, this is obviously snippets that have been released, the podcaster and the writer that released this sound is clearly a Bernie supporter, if you look at his twitter feed, he's very anti-Bloomberg. He's promoting a hashtag ‘#BloombergIsARacist.'" A simple Google search brings up the full audio, which was posted shortly after Bloomberg delivered his address in 2015 at the Aspen Institute. Also, all that stuff about the alleged political affiliations of the person who posted the audio online Monday evening is irrelevant to the content of the surging 2020 candidate's past remarks. Lastly, and relatedly, there is NBC News’s Heidi Przybyla. She shared a conspiracy theory at around 7:30 a.m. alleging that the Kremlin is responsible for making the hashtag “#BloombergIsRacist” a top-trending news topic on social media. The hashtag, which is definitely organic, cropped up Tuesday morning following the release of the Bloomberg audio. Przybyla later deleted her tweet promoting the conspiracy theory, which she had not even bothered to double-check before sharing with her 145,000 Twitter followers. These are four major reporting errors in the span of just 10 hours. For many in this industry, the lesson of the 2016 election does not appear to be “Do better.” It appears to be “Resist harder, by any means necessary.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think educated people like the elite media would understand how badly that hurts their argument. You just don't get it. There are actual journalists in other countries, in completely different circumstances, whose lives are in danger by wholly different interests. Therefore, what passes for 'journalism' in the US puts these brave men and women in grave danger of something something something you actual literal super mecha-Nazi. They're goddamn heroes who deserve purple hearts, silver stars, blue moons, red hearts - and don't touch their lucky charms! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, he lies. This is provable. But the strength of this rally wasn’t about the facts and figures. It was a group of people who felt like they had someone in their corner, that would fight for them. Some people say “well obviously they’re having a great time. They’re in a cult.” I don’t think that’s true. The reality is that many people I spoke to do disagree with Trump on things. They don’t always like his attitude. They wish he wouldn’t tweet so much. People who are in cults don’t question their leaders. The people I spoke with did, but the pros in their eyes far outweighed the cons. They don’t love him because they think he’s perfect. They love him despite his flaws because they believe he has their back. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
