Trump's 'dirty war' on media

I think people mix selective reporting and quality of reporting. Sure CNN and MSNBC select to emphasize stories that appeal to a left leaning viewer profile, but with a few exceptions their opinions typically don't get caught up in conspiracies or push information that's obviously or most likely not accurate.

Fox's news division is decent on quality though certainly still selective to a right leaning audience. But their opinion side is so entrenched in pushing conspiracies there's really nothing else in the mainstream media like it. Sean Hannity is not the inverse mirror of Rachel Maddow...

I've watched a fair share of both of them. Maddow is about three times smarter and very well researched. That doesn't mean she's always right but (aside from bridgegate) I've never really seen her push conspiracy theories and flagrant falsehoods which is pretty must the bulk of Hannity's program today.

you’re talking about the same Maddow who made a complete ass of herself in front of her entire audience (11 bitter Maoists) with trumps tax return, and who predicted a Hilary rout on election night? and who says that people
who are pro life, are opposed to women’s health? yes, a genius.

hannity is a buffoon, so is she. they are the exact mirror image of each other.

'dirty media'...this is troubling


CNN is being accused of attempting to intimidate the Paul Manafort jury after the far-left cable channel (and six other anti-Trump outlets) requested the jurors’ names and home addresses.


And so, on Thursday, CNN, along with six other far-left media outlets (the Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Politico, the New York Times, NBC, and the AP) sued for the release of the names and home addresses of all of the Manafort jurors, a move that is both disturbing and almost unprecedented.

As Bre Payton at the Federalist points out, “Publicly outing the names and home addresses of jurors is considered ethically questionable, as outlined in this guidance sheet on the topic from the Reporter’s Committee for Freedom of the Press.”

Yes, that's exactly what they're trying to do, initiation into the Deep State don't you know?

BuzzFeed is liberal but I've never heard anyone -- aside from Trump and Hannity -- claim the others are far left.

Even the judge said a thirsty press is a good thing. You don't know if they're going to out anyone, it's a matter of public record once the proceedings are finished. The Judge will likely shield them until it's done which would be the right move.

Stop trying... didn't you know only the enemy of the people AKA code for anyone not on trumps junk.. Have ever asked for the names of jurors ...

Its disturbing and almost unprecedented. and almost True!!! can you believe the nerve of the press to ask such a question

43 percent of Republicans saying he “should have the authority to close news outlets engaged in bad behavior.”

Funny this ^^^^ isn't seen as disturbing and unprecedented. why is that ???

I'm not sue how her tax return story was in any way misleading, yes it was over hyped but the returns did confirm some Trump hypocrisy. It wasn't a nothing story.

A lot of people thought Hillary was going to rout trump.

uh, she claimed she had a big scoop. i can only guess, that she didn’t even glance at the tax return until she revealed that he paid a boatload in taxes.
