POWERLINE: WILL THE MEDIA EVER PAY A PRICE?
“Tucker Carlson deserves a victory lap for correctly tagging Avenatti as “creepy porn lawyer”.
Amen.
Levin: Media ‘incestuous’ with Democrats, fake news real
“The media will not only marginalize themselves but they will continue to be the greatest threat to freedom of the press today — not President Trump or his administration, but the current practitioners of what used to be journalism.”
“Cultural Schizophrenia”: US Media No Longer Reports Facts
“You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic.”
Facts don’t sell. But anger and hate do.
Russia: ‘Fake News Database’ Coming Soon
“The Russian Foreign Ministry has run its own “fake news-busting” website for more than two years, superimposing a seal saying “FAKE” in red letters on screenshots of disputed articles.”
Sounds, ah, progressive?
Trump Slams “Fake News” NY Times 120K Troops To Iran Report
“I think it’s fake news, OK?”
The Grey Lady seems to cherish the role of printing national security secrets in an effort to hurt their “opponents” and boost the liberal narrative. Journalism is truly dead.
Warren: Fox News is a ‘Hate-for-Profit Racket’
“Fox News is a hate-for-profit racket that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracists—it’s designed to turn us against each other, risking life & death consequences, to provide cover for the corruption that’s rotting our government and hollowing out our middle class.”
We’re guessing NBC and Daily Beast agree?

“So, for almost half a day after his threats of new tariffs on Chinese goods were made public, Trump’s tweets remained one of the most censored news items in mainland China.”

“That’s not journalism. That’s being a deep-state errand boy.”
Attkisson: How Media Narratives Became More Important Than Facts
“The effort to expose flaws and conflicts in media reporting is growing stronger, not weaker, despite the narratives. The desire to affect improvements is building. Make no mistake: Not all of us are free to speak publicly, but there are a lot of us. And we aren’t going away.‘
CNN’s Sciutto: USA Supports Armed Coup in Venezuela
“Don’t miss this: the US is now publicly supporting an armed coup in Venezuela. On the other side is a govt backed by Russia.”

Fake Smears: Daily Beast Exposes Attempted Buttigieg Takedown
“The source who spoke to The Daily Beast said Burkman and Wohl made clear that their goal was to kneecap Buttigieg’s momentum in the 2020 presidential race.”
Big League Politics originally ran (and Tweeted) the story but has since run an updated Wohl angle of deceit. Absolutely disgusting. Glad BLP corrected -but shame for running it in the first place.
New Geography: THE TWILIGHT OF AMERICA’S MEGA-MEDIA
“Increasingly, the remnants of the old publishing industry are being bought by the oligarchs — Jeff Bezos’ purchase of the Post in 2013, the 2017 buying of the Atlantic by Laurene Powell Jobs, and last year’s purchase of Time by Marc Benioff, founder of San Francisco-based Salesforce.com. With billions made elsewhere, these media outlets no longer must listen to their diverse readers; Bezos did not buy the Post to defend democracy, as his henchmen insist, but to shape the debate in the nation’s capital.”
