Orlando Buffalo Posted January 10 Posted January 10 2 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: The old-fashioned Republican media can be trusted. It's a one-time thing; it just happens a lot. Two points: WSJ is MSM so your point is invalid and most of us trust WSJ like 10% of the time vs 2%

Bari Weiss heads CBS News. Her "Free Press" is alt media; her CBS News is mainstream? WSJ: mainstream (about as mainstream as it got) Republican; now sometimes critical of Republicans, more often critical of Democrats. What does it mean to call it "mainstream?" If such a sharp division previously existed, it certainly doesn't exist anymore. Good journalism is good journalism. Bad journalism is bad journalism. Read or watch it if you can. It is good journalism.

Based on your excited post last Sunday you would have people believe that George Stephanopoulos equates to “good” journalism. That’s an absurd position to hold. 1

That’s an absurd position to hold. I think I told you that George got the first Rubio interview, which means the White House thinks he's important. Yes, it was "good journalism" because he gave Rubio ample time to try to explain the muddle that Trump made of his Venezuela policy. And I said Rubio did a good job when given a difficult task. Isn't that what we want? Guess not; it's what I want, not what you want.

A Redhawk-level misremembering of what you said. Here’s a tip for you - when there’s big political news the key player(s) will give every major Sunday morning news show availability. This is nothing new. Why you thought your guy George got an exclusive is a mystery to remain unsolved.

Even Rainmen need the search function.

Sure On 1/4/2026 at 10:01 AM, The Frankish Reich said: Stephanopoulos got Rubio this morning (the others got B and C listers). We are discussing your nonexistent chops as a media/journalism critic. This is the first sentence of your post from last weekend. Laughably incorrect. 1
Big Blitz Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Yep. CNN ran a segment on this top of the 3 o’clock news hour that ICE “detained” a 5 year old. Holy ***t 1
