Look at the recent example with Politico and Trump owing money to China -- they got caught for doing sloppy work right away and had to issue a pretty humiliating correction and apology. And, going forward, I will view any similar scoops from them with a bit more skepticism.

Originally posted by DivineBoob View PostYes. Faking a news report about finding a tear gas canister and accusing the government of covering it up is the kind of lie which will end your journalistic career. Just ask Brian Williams. Just ask Tom Brokaw. And neither of those are anywhere near as incendiary of examples as this one.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostThe canister might very well be real, and the reporter may have actually found it at the scene, but how do we know it wasn't placed there the "peaceful" protesters in order to create a false narrative? Did the reporter himself verify the presence of tear gas? Have there been any credible eye witness reports?
As to why one might doubt that the protestors planted the tear gas -- no one expected the protestors to be expelled in this manner so why would one anticipate having to create a narrative like this? Further, I would imagine it is very difficult to get your hands on tear gas as a civilian. If you wanted to frame the cops there are easier ways to do it.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostAnd we've aeen plenty of examples of news organizations spreading false stories about Trump without any consequences. The reason Brian Williams got into so much trouble is because it was only to benefit himself and not the "greater cause" of liberalism.
For the rest of time every time someone wants to whinge about left wing news sources I'm going to bring this up because it's just so egregious that it will never be lived down. And Sean Hannity et al. still have their jobs!
