This Is What Happens When Your Stated Mission Is to Inform, but You’re Incapable of Telling the Truth

New study shows trust in media is in "free fall" (reclaimthenet.org)

According to the IBD/TIPP pollster, their alternative media counterparts are not doing much, if at all better in the trust department, which dovetails neatly with a recent Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism paper that said the US was the lowest ranked country when it comes to the number of those who trust most news most of the time – only 29%.

If I worked in this industry, I would be doing whatever possible to regain trust. I’d be more careful about not rushing to judgment. I’d produce objective pieces. And I’d work to eliminate my personal biases from stories wherever possible.

The media seems to be doing the opposite of that. Frankly, i expect these numbers to continue to decline.

It’s Impossible To Reason With People Like This

MSNBC Columnist Compares Republicans to Taliban – PJ Media

In a bizarre Wednesday morning column, MSNBC’s Dean Obeidallah claimed that Republicans’ condemnations of the Taliban have no merit because the GOP opposes “women’s rights.”

“I have to wonder where these voices were when extremists, based on a narrow reading of their religion’s beliefs, enacted a law that forces a woman who was raped to carry the fetus of the rapist to term?” Obeidallah wrote, likely referring to Republicans supporting recent pro-life laws.

The failed comedian and lawyer grants that “nobody is saying the GOP and the Taliban are equally bad,” yet adds that pro-life Republicans can’t truly oppose the Taliban’s 12th-century misogyny because most GOP lawmakers, including House Leader Kevin McCarthy, voted against reauthorizing the “Violence Against Women Act,” and some hope the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

Yes, that’s right. Protecting the lives of the unborn is equivalent to chopping people’s heads off.

If you’re really that stupid, you shouldn’t be writing an opinion column for a major news media organization. If you’re just trying to be shocking and use hyperbole to grab people’s attention, you need to re-think your methods, because you’re doing more harm than good.

Seems Like this Would Have Been Newsworthy

MSNBC Did Not Ask Lincoln Project Founders About John Weaver Despite Booking Them 17 Times After The Story First Broke | The Daily Caller

MSNBC belongs on the dustbin of history. It is a propaganda machine posing as a news network.

• John Weaver of the Lincoln Project has been accused by multiple men, including a minor, of sexual harassment.
• Lincoln Project co-founders Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, and George Conway have appeared on MSNBC 17 times since the story first broke on January 11.
• They were not asked about the allegations during any of their interviews.

Why? Because the only reason MSNBC has Lincoln Project members on their network is to bash President Donald Trump (R-USA) and other Republicans. Talking about the sins of their founders does not advance the narrative. It’s a distraction and must be swept under the rug.

Good sweeping, MSNBC.
