It's a good read and a clear case as to why alternative sites like Breitbart are flourishing. They never did anything special, they just told the other side of the story. Frankly, the MSM has gone to Pravda style heights over the past 8 or 9 years to the point they don't even pretend to have journalistic integrity anymore.
It's been a downward spiral since the 1964 election and Vietnam War. With the Nixon Presidency the partisan focus sharpened. But the descent into lunacy was probably triggered (
) when they a man they considered an idiot defeat AlGore. And then handle 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq decisively and, largely, well. Overcoming
DanBlather's hit and defeating the
Ketchup Senator poured salt in that wound.
What particularly rang true for me was:
"When the mainstream media write or say that a conservative “suggested” something that sounds outrageous, it usually means the conservative never actually said it." Back in November or December of 2015 the things the MSM attributed to Candidate Trump got so crazy, that I found the transcripts or relevant video clips of several speeches the MSM called out by location and date. I read or listened to what Trump said. It was clear that the MSM, in every case, either chose the most outrageous and least plausible interpretation of what Trump had said, or simply lied. It only took 3 or 4 such instances for me to realize the MSM had gone full partisan, and would systematically lie about anything Trump said or did.
