Glenn Greenwald, The Intercept: The U.S. Media Yesterday Suffered its Most Humiliating Debacle in Ages: Now Refuses All Transparency Over What Happened
Friday was one of the most embarrassing days for the U.S. media in quite a long time. The humiliation orgy was kicked off by CNN, with MSNBC and CBS close behind, with countless pundits, commentators and operatives joining the party throughout the day. By the end of the day, it was clear that several of the nation’s largest and most influential news outlets had spread an explosive but completely false news story to millions of people, while refusing to provide any explanation of how it happened.
The spectacle began on Friday morning at 11:00 am EST, when the Most Trusted Name in News™ spent 12 straight minutes on air flamboyantly hyping an exclusive bombshell report that seemed to prove that WikiLeaks, last September, had secretly offered the Trump campaign, even Donald Trump himself, special access to the DNC emails before they were published on the internet. As CNN sees the world, this would prove collusion between the Trump family and WikiLeaks and, more importantly, between Trump and Russia, since the U.S. intelligence community regards WikiLeaks as an “arm of Russian intelligence,” and therefore, so does the U.S. media.

WNU Editor: Could not have said it any better. For those who enjoy reading-up on how the U.S. news media covers the news, this is a must read.
This is the new normal for the media. They ain't never going to grow up or grow wiser.
ReplyDeleteI must chastise WNU for not keeping up with important scandals like this one that Newsweak just broke.
MIKE PENCE’S PETS WON’T STOP DYING
The writer(?), JOHN HALTIWANGER, took the olbigatory shots at Trump which are de rigueur.
ReplyDelete"Trump, however, is petless. He also reportedly views the Pences as "yokels" and "low class" because of all the animals they've brought to Washington."
But turnabout is fair play. Let's Criticize Obama
"Our hearts go out to the Pences. We lost three of our rescues this summer as well.
It says a lot that the Pences take in rescues
and
the Obamas had their purebred dogs purchased, trained for 4~6 months and then had them delivered to the WH (when politically advantageous) like baubles from Amazon."

I think John Haltiwanger is on to something. Mind you Haltiwanger is the breaking news writer. So if you did not read the story of the pet deaths, you invested your stocks incorrectly, stepped out to work dressed for 90 degrees, when it was below zero, or began a picnic, when you should have found the nearest fallout shelter. Just saying/.

I actually have the Mike Pence story on the side, and I have the reports that Mike Pence's wife hates President Trump. I may post it tonight if it becomes a quiet news evening.
ReplyDeleteIt is a free country.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Pence can hate Trump.
She may end up laughing all the way to the bank especially if this goes 15 more years.
Ah....the fake news does not tell us the truth about pets! But here the real truth is out for those who care.
ReplyDeletenota bene: try a week ignoring the [lying, fake] media and report back on all you know about Reality
Il mondo ha notato bene che l'editore di Newsweek ha versato scritto molto circa animali domestici della famiglia Pence. Perchè così? È squilibrato? Anche i suoi lettori & difensori sono squilibrati?
ReplyDeleteFred can read real news at the former magazine, Newsweek, sold for $1.

He can read it all week. It has been archived in case Newsweek scrubs it from their site or goes bankrupt again. Well in between cutting & pasting.

I was going to say something serious about this story but after reading the above comments, I decided that such ridicule should be allowed to stand on its own.
