General / Off-Topic American Pravda

Wow, fake news is a very very real thing in America.

The pot calling the cattle black?
The title of the "veritas" clip doesn't actually correspond to the statements. "could be " does not equal "is ".

And the rating obsession of american press is "breaking news"?

And last but not least:

:D

Also quite hilarious how they think having that "fact or fiction" look gives them that extra edge of .. hmm.. credibility? Coincidence? Or covering trivial no-news in mystery?
Make up your own mind.

Eh, the actual news is this here: http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/01/pbsnpr-panic-trump-administration-defundprivatize/
"So, let’s consider that. The goal is $10.5 trillion in saved federal funding while cutting back on the bureaucracy and opening the door to new media and networks that aren’t a strain on your pockets or the economies."

Pretty much translates to "let's push more clickbait sites like 'Veritas'". :p

It's a thing, OP. If it weren't a thing, it would be front and center on the front page of HuffPo.

It's a thing.
 
I was in journalism for 6 years, it's absolutely taken a nose dive, not just in style and format, but in objectivity. It literally does not exist anymore, and it's a damn travesty.

Just wondering, what do you feel is the most objective and even news source available today?

EDIT: Asking in genuine inquiry, "not fishing for dirt."

I genuinely, honestly do what I did when I was a journalist - I vet the source(s) myself because often most news commentary is regurgitated talking points from a talking head "correspondent" or "analyst." Yes, it's taxing and takes a lot of time, but the results are kind of staggering when you find that the public documents/data/reports that are being commented on are subject to immense editorializing.

But even that's old news:

Well I am just clearly behind the times, can you please send me the forum rules that says I can't talk about stuff Boomer already knows about?

Oh, please go ahead.
The sensationalism is quite entertaining. ^^

Yes i agree, Mainstream Journalism has taken a nose dive, there are still a remnant mainstream media who are fighting hard to survive to investigate and uncover the real truths behind the hidden agendas

Its my opinion Fox news is part of the remnant trying to survive in what is a volatile battlefront to present the Real News!! the growth of Alternative news media is now filling the vacuum of the now corrupted parrot mainstream news. Thank God people are waking up!!

We are the resistance!!

Sorry, did you just say FOX news does real news ? Do you trust Infowars as well ? lol
 
just to verify some of the Mainstream Media out there

i will acknowledge this about Fox News... they were going down the Tubes at one point, but they have stood up, and righted themselves, its presenters are the backbone of the Media, If the presenters bow to corruption then they themselves have become part of the corruption.

It is quite clear Presenters on Fox News have been attacked... Bill Oreilly is someone that has been attacked and is currently dealing with issues surrounding his employment, another is Sean Hannity, was severely attacked but remains resolute and strong in the face of criticism and a barrage of lies against him, during the Seth Rich Story.

Infowars... has been at the forefront of conspiracy theories which are the Globalist realities today....Alex Jones has been the Bearer of the light in the darkest of corners, now the Torch has lit many alternative News outlets to reveal many hidden agendas by globalist's

Wiki-leaks is yet another beacon of light, illuminating the hidden agendas of those corrupt politicians and wayward military intelligence agencies

you would be naive to think otherwise!!

I myself am anti establishment, anti corporate coruption, i come from the left so my preferred news sources are TYT and secular talk. FOX news is and always will be corporate propaganda. Infowars is a huge joke, sure Alex Jones may be in the right direction on some things, but he's still a nutjob going on about UN takeovers, he's even gotten more religious, i've seen him call Obama a demon, so no, infowars is not a beacon of light, wiki leaks maybe, but not Infowars, infowars is actually pathetic.

TYT is quite frankly a pile of mud, that scoffs and mocks commonsense values, it was no suprise to see the confrontation between Genk and Jones nearly come to blows... but hey if you enjoy wallowing in the mud, who am i to tell you where your heart should rest
