There's far more manipulation and deception coming from the establishment media.
For example, how many people heard that Trump removed two countries from the travel ban list (Iraq and Sudan)? The media practically ignored that. Ignoring events like that, which would show Trump in a more reasonable light, is a form of deception: a lie by omission.
- simonsarris 9y agoYeah, most established media has been shameful lately. From one angle it's hard to blame them, since they are largely just trying to post stories that they know their current subscriber base wants to hear. This is even true of the NYT. There was a great comment chain on HN about it a while back (comparing the coverage from stories vs looking at what their linked sources said), but I can't find it. It was similar to coverage like this: https://randomcriticalanalysis.wordpress.com/2016/05/09/my-response-to-the-nytimes-article-on-school-districts-test-scores-and-income/ https://randomcriticalanalysis.wordpress.com/2016/05/09/my-r...
