The Corrupted News Media Are Irredeemable, It’s Far Too Late For A ‘Reckoning’ Of The Trump Years

You don’t have to do much if you don’t have anything to do and you only have 10 hours. But you can still read the Columbia Journalism Review article, which is a reckoning of the Trump-era news media. It’s too little and about six years too late for that trash.

Bob Woodward, Mummified Legend, is quoted in The pieceThe following article was written this week by Jeff Gerth, an ex-New York Times journalist, and urges newsrooms: “walk down the painful road of introspection.” Gerth himself said it. “news outlets and watchdogs haven’t been as forthright in examining their own Trump-Russia coverage,” He also visits a number of editors and writers who are well-known. “declined to comment” on his exhausting attempt at serious — Very, very serious — media accountability.

But what do you expect? They did. They did it. They continue to do it. They have achieved their goals and shown they’re willing to defend their victories with whatever it takes. We, the B.S. We, the people who called B.S.

Even though the media were horrible before Trump, their shortcomings were mostly acknowledged “liberal bias.” What they did beginning in 2017 and ever since isn’t bias. It’s dishonest. It’s malicious. It’s evil.

Gerth even had the nerve to give the media some coverage in his piece, blaming Trump for being president “seemed almost to be toying with the press, offering spontaneous answers to questions about Russia that seemed to point to darker narratives.” That’s a convenient explanation for the two years of breathless, unrelenting headlines and cable news graphics declaring That “the walls are closing in,” that “the noose is tightening,” That and more “we’re at a turning point” The Russia saga. Do you remember those? It went on for years. Years.

And then, one sleepy Sunday in the spring of 2019, Attorney General William Barr revealed the truth: The Justice Department’s special counsel, with unlimited resources and funding, found no collusion between Trump and Russia.

It was time for the ghost to go. They did.

Yeah, right. They then claimed that even if there wasn’t Technical There was collusion Tried Collaboration. It was impossible to admit that the country was manipulated or conned.
