Quote:In the sixth month of Donald Trump’s presidency, we are witnessing an unprecedented meltdown of much of the media. Standards have been tossed overboard in a frenzy to bring down the president.

Trump, like all presidents, deserves coverage that is skeptical and tough, but also fair. That’s not what he’s getting.

What started as bias against him has become a cancer that is consuming the best and brightest. In rough biblical justice, media attempts to destroy the president are boomeranging and leaving their reputations in tatters.

He accuses them of publishing fake news, and they respond with such blind hatred that they end up publishing fake news. That’ll show him.

CNN is suffering an especially bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, even trying to make a virtue of its hostility to the president. In doing so, executives conveniently confuse animus with professional skepticism, and cite growing audiences as proof of their good judgment.

The bottom line matters, and there is certainly an audience for hating Trump all the time. But facts and fairness separate major news organizations from any other business looking to make a buck, and a commitment to them creates credibility and public trust.

That’s how CNN sold itself for years — boring but trustworthy. Now it’s boring and untrustworthy.

Good read.... Smiling

Good read? Maybe. Do you log onto nypost.com often? It's known as a sensational rag, a classic example of "yellow journalism" and it's main attraction to folks in the Five Boroughs is it's sports page which is the one highly regarded section of the paper. 

But, like even the most biased of reporting, this one has at least a bit of truth in it. "The Left" is getting almost rabid in their coverage of this presidency. Strange, because Mr. Trump needs so little help in exposing himself as unprepared and incompetent. It might be best if the press simple left Mr. Trump to his Twitting and allowed his own commentary to speak for it's self. We can at least be thankful he appointed a Secretary of State and a Secretary of Defense who does not embarrass the nation. 

And yes...CNN is fast becoming just another sensational outlet that all too often panders to The Left. So? Don't watch it. Or Fox News. We have options.

Quote:Fox News ran a story on Oct. 8 about a decorated Vietnam War Navy SEAL and glass artist who created an enormous presidential glass seal he hoped to give to President Trump. On Thursday, 11 days later, the network retracted the story after being told the Trump supporter never served in the SEALs or in Vietnam, much less earned commendations for his service.
In the segment, John Garafalo said he served in the Vietnam War with the U.S. Navy SEAL team. Fox News reported that he also received two Purple Hearts and about two dozen other medals for his service.
The man’s claimed record turned out to be a fabrication. It was first discovered by former Navy SEALs. Both these SEALs and family members of Garofalo contacted Fox News about the story, according to the Navy Times.

Don Shipley, a retired SEAL, told the Navy Times that he contacted Fox on Oct. 9, the day after the story ran.

But the story was still on the news outlets Facebook page on Oct. 19. By then it had amassed 1.5 million views.

I'm still a bit confused by this story. Is the news that Fox paraded a fake Navy SEAL or that they actually retracted a fake story?   Big Grin

They actually half-heartedly retracted the story that you think?

So President Obama knew about Russia before the Election. Why didn’t he do something about it? Why didn’t he tell our campaign? Because it is all a big hoax, that’s why, and he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win!!!

********************************************************************************

WASHINGTON — In the weeks after he became the Republican nominee on July 19, 2016, Donald Trump was warned that foreign adversaries, including Russia, would probably try to spy on and infiltrate his campaign, according to multiple government officials familiar with the matter.
The warning came in the form of a high-level counterintelligence briefing by senior FBI officials, the officials said. A similar briefing was given to Hillary Clinton, they added. They said the briefings, which are commonly provided to presidential nominees, were designed to educate the candidates and their top aides about potential threats from foreign spies.The candidates were urged to alert the FBI about any suspicious overtures to their campaigns, the officials said.

Explosive New Tape Reveals One Time Trump Didn’t Pay For Sex

A new secret recording has emerged revealing a conversation between US President Donald Trump and an unnamed woman, in which Trump appears to get laid without money changing hands.
In the recording, Trump starts to negotiate payment as usual, but there is no clear evidence that a payment is actually made.
Republicans have been quick to denounce the recordings, saying it is clearly a fake. “This is ridiculous. Trump has never got sex without paying. It goes against everything he stands for. I know that, Americans know that,” Speaker Paul Ryan said.
If true, the explosive recording could dramatically alter perceptions of Mr Trump. “This is not the President I voted for,” one Arizona man said.
Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said the recording was ‘open to interpretation’ and assured Americans that Mr Trump actually did pay for the encounter, but only after the recording stopped.

4Chan is claiming they BURNED Michael Avenatti with fake Kavanaugh witness!!!

4Chan is claiming credit for pranking Porny Daniel’s scumbag lawyer Michael Avenatti with a fake Kavanaugh witness using a burner phone:

Here’s an easier version to read. Be warned, they give gross details in the claim:

[url=https://therightscoop.com/4chan-is-claiming-they-burned-michael-avenatti-with-fake-kavanaugh-witness/#disqus_thread]
One reason that so many on social media find his plausible is that Avenatti did make his Twitter account PRIVATE this morning. I noticed it myself. It’s been private all day.
[url=https://therightscoop.com/4chan-is-claiming-they-burned-michael-avenatti-with-fake-kavanaugh-witness/#disqus_thread]The other reason people want to believe is, well, how awesome would it be for Avenatti to get pranked by 4chan on something like this!!!

“Trump could be the most honest president in modern history. When you look at the real barometer of presidential truthfulness he is probably the most honest president in American history. He’s done exactly what he said he would do.”

Like when he said he was not going to play golf? I can mention about a million other things too.
