...and its coverage of Donald Trump. It seems that their whole schtick is to litigate every correction to the record as evidence that coverage is false, and the media should not be trusted. Of course, Brietbart then offers alternative facts if you will.
I think what is difficult for many of us to understand is that the Trump administration sees no problem with gas lighting a nation with complete lies and propaganda. Think of Kim Jong Un trying to put his entire country in a blackout. The Trump administration is trying to do the same to its core supporters. Ignore the media and your lying eyes. Get your news from Brietbart, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, WND, Facebook, and if you are feeling a little less crazy, Fox News. Also, if you want to get a progressive-sounding, Trumpo apologist point of view, you can get that on Russia Today.

(28,136 posts)It's looks like the Trump team, including Trump are having a collective mental and emotional breakdown.
They can't keep reality away anymore and it's slowly but surely dissolving the fake worlds they've created.
This is so bizarre.

(70 posts)Journalists are going to make mistakes, but they are making more and more of them due to the need for clicks. And the right-wing is going to use every single one of these mistakes against them and us. Not to mention that their mistakes can blow back against their audience if we end up believing/sharing information that is later proven incorrect.
Publishers/Editors need to determine how to make money while also allowing their reporters the opportunity to take an extra breath or two to verify the accuracy of their stories. I know that the industry has been hurting for years. I'd love to have a solution.

(901 posts)They now live in an alternate reality where I've had them tell me that DJT is the most honest president we've ever had, how brilliant he is, etc. They will not believe anything coming from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, WaPo, the NY Times... Not only that, they won't believe their own ears or eyes. It's truly disturbing.
