The American Media Should Not Be Trusted


Recommended Posts

The NYT, the newspaper of record, lie?  Never! :lol:

 

He was taped prior to J6 urging people to go INTO the Capitol. That is a crime.

 

Urging people to merely go TO the Capitol is not.

 

How could the "newspaper of record" miss that crucial distinction?

 

^_^

“…as I’m currently doing it…” is the key phrase here.  Some people have a healthy skepticism for the information she’s presenting because of how she presents it.  She probably should toughen up a bit. 
 

I recall Trump being on the Today Show well before the 2016 election.  Savannah  Guthrie set up a question about his chances by asking him about a poll that showed him struggling, and Trump replied that an NBC poll just released showed him doing very well at that point.  He suggested that sort of thing was exactly why people didn’t trust the media.  She appeared quite flustered at the time. 
 

It was great television and just a quick sampling of what was to come.

She covers Congress for Reuters.  

 

A sparse crowd of mostly older people are carrying US flags and she tweets that THIS has triggered her anxiety?

 

Gee, I wonder why nobody except the left trusts anything coming from legacy media.

 

Missed your post above @B-Man. So ridiculous however it deserves repeating.

Forget Fake News, News Blackouts Are More Dangerous

Issues & Insights, by Armando Simón

 

Much has been written and said by some writers, politicians, and journalists about “fake news,” that is, news reports that have been deliberately distorted or are outright lies done for the sake of a particular ideology. Ever since Donald Trump announced his candidacy, I have collected hundreds and hundreds of instances of fake news in print, television, and the internet. But almost nothing has been said or written about “news blackout,” that is, the deliberate, coordinated effort to exclude certain news events, or opinions, that contradict the journalist hivemind ideology.

THE MEDIA’S VAPING ALARMISM HAD LETHAL CONSEQUENCES, NEW STUDY FINDS.

 

FTA:

 

If all one read was mainstream media coverage of the rise of vaping, you’d think it’s a deadly, addictive trend that’s hooking teenagers and killing people by the thousands. 

 

You’d also happen to be wrong.

 

The great panic over “vaping illness” and “vaping deaths” in 2019 was exhibit A of the media’s mythmaking. While tragic, these deaths and illnesses that were used to stir up fear over vaping almost exclusively turned out to be related to black market THC products, not legal vaping products. 

 

While it’s certainly not the healthiest habit, the fact is vaping is nowhere near as bad for you as traditional cigarette smoking. 

 

Yes, it often involves nicotine consumption, but nicotine isn’t what gives you cancer—black tar and the other carcinogens included in traditional cigarettes are what cause cancer. So, vaping doesn’t have most of the health risks associated with smoking. Indeed, public health experts have even estimated that vaping is 95% healthier than traditional cigarette smoking.

 

But, in large part thanks to the media’s panic porn, the public is totally misinformed about this reality. Published in the National Bureau of Economic Research, the aforementioned new study examined the “information shock” created by the media’s misleading, hysterical coverage of the 2019 “vaping-related” illness outbreak.

“We find that after the outbreak, consumer perceptions of the riskiness of e-cigarettes sharply increased, so that in contrast to almost all experts, the majority of consumers perceive e-cigarettes to be relatively and absolutely riskier than cigarettes,” the authors report. 

 

That’s right: The public has it exactly backward. 

 

The study further concludes that the media’s alarmism led to a 30% reduction in demand for e-cigarettes and a 30% decline in their usage for quitting traditional smoking. As a result, the experts report that “the reduced smoking cessation due to the information shock will in turn increase smoking-related illness and death.”
