    In other news, water is wet.
    Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

        Even CNN admitting that they've published fake news won't be enough for some on this forum.
        Again: Was Trump correct when he called CNN fake news?

        Yes, even CNN admits it now.

        I'm glad I didn't spend my time defending CNN, because, wow, I'd feel like a dork right about now.
        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

One glaring example involving the supposed "paper of record," the New York Times, was how it studiously ignored the ACORN scandals and the Van Jones resignation. When they were finally dragged into covering them they had to spend a great deal of coverage simply reporting what had already taken place many weeks before. This was especially true in the latter case since they didn't start covering it until it was over -- Van Jones had resigned.

          The Time's "Public Editor" Clark Hoyt chastised them for "looking clueless or, worse, partisan itself" especially since when they finally got around to it the emphasis was about Republicans simply trying to dig up dirt to damage Obama not the fact that there was a legitimate scandal. According to Hoyt, "Jill Abramson, the managing editor for news, agreed with me that the paper was ‘slow off the mark,’ and blamed ‘insufficient tuned-in-ness to the issues that are dominating Fox News and talk radio.’"

          And it wasn't just the Times.

          Washington Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander also criticized his paper for its "tardiness" in covering both the controversy surrounding Obama’s Green Jobs Czar Van Jones and the videos showing ACORN employees assisting a supposed pimp and prostitute in hiding their income and arranging for underage girls to be smuggled into the country to be used as prostitutes.

          If it was bad for Obama the media wouldn't cover it or at best bury it deep inside in a short article

            There has been a lot of retracting of stories about Russia recently: https://theintercept.com/2017/06/27/...russia-threat/

              They still aren't admitting they published fake news. According to the story linked by seer above:

              "In a staff meeting Monday afternoon, investigative unit members were told that the retraction did not mean the facts of the story were necessarily wrong. Rather, it meant that "the story wasn't solid enough to publish as-is," one of the people briefed on the investigation said. "

              pretty weaselly.

                I wonder if that's what CNN also concluded when one of their news anchors, Don Lemon, suggested that a black hole on earth might be responsible for the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 back in 2014 -- that it wasn't necessarily wrong it just wasn't solid enough to go with yet.

                    well to be fair he was just sharing the theories that other people came up with and asked experts what they thought.

                        I don't think that anyone else came up with the idea that a black hole was responsible for the disappearance of the jet.

                            The jets didn't disappear in that movie. Instead, people who were about to die in a plane crash were transported into the future, and bio-engineered corpses were put in their place so that as far as history was concerned, they still died in a plane crash. Future humanity did this because people in the future were sterile, and they needed fertile humans from the past to continue the species.

                            It was a very dumb movie.
