  • “We have to get back to the notion that -- which is absolutely correct, that most of the media really tries, the mainstream media – the big news institutions from The Washington Post and The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal to CNN really go out of their way to be accurate, factual, contextual and we do and we have done a pretty good job of it,”

It's astounding how the Amercian news has become an pissing contest between the media companies and the trump administration.

Instead of reporting the actual news,

they thought they could control him like they do everyone else but have failed , and that is why they are pissed and seem on intend to bring him down at all cost

for a long time the media had been fake news before even trump came along and told us what they wanted us to hear not the whole truth, until social media came along and people started asking questions and people and real time information started flowing that was when people discovered how fake they were, times are changing and cable new and print media are becoming irrelevant

You have to trust the media! They are paid to tell you the truth according to the people that pay them! Great post.

If you do not believe the New York Times and Washington Post have journalistic integrity, then how in the world are you to get any reliable information? When these publications get a story wrong, they issue a retraction. Nixon attacked them as well, but at least he was mostly against the editorial boards, not the actual reporters of news. Trump is attacking the basic foundations of Democracy when he calls straight-up reporting of facts "fake news".

way to go there...that's the best use of the logical fallacy 'appeal to authority' that I've seen in a while.
very GOOD.
you're also mistaken.

see..that's the deal. YOU...get ALL of your info about trump from his enemies.
is it any wonder that you have it all wrong?

Hard not to. He has a lot of well-earned enemies. I also get information directly from Trump via Twitter and the things he is actually doing in government. So where do you get your reliable information about Trump?

one more thing.
the WaPo, NYT, CNN etc...only issued retractions (on the back page where no one would see them) when they got CAUGHT...lying.

they didn't get the story 'wrong'.
they flat out lied about it...with malice a fore thought.

WHAT journalistic integrity?

I respectfully submit that the NYT has been posting corrections and retractions as they are discovered for far longer than we have been alive and makes them easy to find online: https://www.nytimes.com/section/corrections
