  • Liberal "Journalism" has hit a new low: Gizmodo

    At this point, the liberal media isn't even trying to hide that they want to manufacture fake news and print rumors in order to destroy Trump. They don't even pretend to be unbiased. In fact they are calling rumor mongering, "Good Journalism"


    Tell on Trump
    As the last few weeks have demonstrated, good journalism requires good sources. The election of Donald Trump, despite scandal after scandal, made it seem as if true and accurate reporting about public figures had lost its power to make a difference. But the tumult and chaos of the first month of Trump’s presidency have shown that there’s still life in the practitioners of our hated profession.

    We at Gizmodo Media Group have launched what we are calling the Special Projects Desk to pursue investigative projects across all of our sites—Deadspin, Fusion, Jezebel, Gizmodo, Jalopnik, Kotaku, the Root, and Lifehacker. You can read about our team and how to contact us here.

    We want to make sure that anyone with access to newsworthy information—particularly about the conduct of the new presidential administration—knows how to reach us. Accordingly, we’ve built a web site, TellOnTrump.com, with instructions on various ways to reach out to our reporters securely.

    I don't think liberals fully understand just what a dangerous political climate they're trying to establish.
    Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
    But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
    Than a fool in the eyes of God

      I think they don't care.

        This is the best thing for conservatism since Reagan.
        The more false stories, which are then discredited, the better.
        It is the flailing death throes of an irrelevant and self-destructive media.

        See the new media:

        The NPR host was an idiot, but he's part of the dying breed of liars.
        Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

          Gizmodo is in the same company as Gawker. They will be destroyed.
          Also I think they fail to understand that they are the loose lips.

            Ironic that they embrace the phrase "Loose lips sink ships" since they are engaging in the very behavior that slogan warns against.

              No, they're PROUD of the fact that they are the loose lips, and are encouraging others to be loose lips in an attempt to sink Trump.

                Biased against Trump doesn't equal fake news.

                If your whole worldview rests on a particular claim being true, you damn well better have evidence for it. You should have tons of evidence.

                  True, but a disproportionate number of anti-Trump stories are fake news.

                    It will. Face it, the site is set up for one purpose, gathering rumors. The general public, the Gizmodo audience, isn't going to be privy to any real news about Trump. They will just be posting rumors and nonsense, which Gizmodo will publish as "news" without fact checking it, and playing dumb when called on it. If they are called on it, because their audience, again, is just like-minded liberal snowflakes who want to believe anything bad about Trump. A vicious circle of rumors and hate. Fake News.

                    Gizmodo is a joke. They want to claim the title "good journalism" and they pull something like this. They are and forever will be, nothing more than a liberal blog site.

                      Yeah, and there are just as many right wing fake news sites out there lying about everyone on the Left that you will sometimes swallow wholesale without any fact checking. So you're nothing but a giant hypocrite.

                        I'm curious: How do they get past the libel laws? Id "From an unsubstantiated source...", "From an unsubstantiated source...", "From an annonymous source...", "Joe blow suggests..." get the publishers off the hook?

                        As far as I know, the press can get away with murder if they argue "in the national interest". But who adjudicates what is in the public interest?

                        About last June I started to monitor the USA press. What I noticed was that during the run-up to the election, news worthy items
                        reported in OZ were omitted in the NYT & WP...

                          Libel is incredibly difficult to successfully prosecute.

                            No I am not a hypocrite. I dislike right wing fake news just as much. I call out such stories when people post them here on tweb.

                              especially against a public figure. Although some of these stories come pretty close to being prosecutable as they are obvious lies intended to be malicious.
