My wife and I are liberal, but I have been complaining to her for a half a year that it seemed like the news media was making a lot of opinionated or unsubstantiated statements as if they were 100% true (infinitely true!).
I think you know what I mean, when a news hour host makes statements in a tone of voice that implies there is no doubt about something.
For me, the main theme of this article was “None of this has been walked back.” - very few news outlets have admitted really sloppy reporting.
And, this all unfortunately plays into Trumps hands and increases his odds of winning in 2020.
- thatoneuser 8y agoI've been saying there's basically no difference now between many of the major left news outlets and straight up tabloids. Just more polishing. It's really sad. Rather than having rational discourse that could set up a strong 2020 dem pres bid, all anyone can talk about is how bad trump is. All exposure is good exposure.
