So lets break it down; these holier than thou media outlets cant stop tooting their own horns about how much integrity they have...
scads of it
no appearance of impropriety
none
not even a little

...we would never intentionally run a fake story as truth. The networks have too much integrity to "lie" and before any of you older folks try to bring up the game-show scandals of the 60's and 70's - or reality TV shams of the new millennium - I am only talking about news - not fake game shows or reality TV

I am also not talking about what NBC did to scare the shit out of everyone that owned a Chevy truck. NBC even went as far as admitting that they rigged the crash - but again, the GMC truck incident doesnt count because it wasn't a breaking news story, it was investigative journalism.

When 20/20 ran a story in the late 70's that pretty much ALL Fords were going to blow up in a crash, they were not reporting "fake news" they were just tagging on to the Pinto craze - pay no mind that the car in the ABC 20/20 story about 'Beyond the Pinto' was intentionally rigged with an incendiary device... it still was not "fake news" -

In fact, look up Byron Bloch and see who he is - Maybe you will find an "industry expert" that makes a very nice living out of being an expert witness in unsafe vehicle court cases...
Maybe you will find a guy that loves baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolets
What you may also find is a guy that the networks just happened to hire as a consultant on 20/20 and Dateline NBC during episodes that featured honest truthful investigative journalism about unsafe automobiles (that just happened to be rigged to burst into flames)

...draw your own conclusions


Just know, the media would NEVER lie to you because they live and die by the first amendment.

Thank God for '60 Minutes' because even though we cannot trust ABC or NBC we all know that CBS would never compromise journalistic integrity in the name of higher news ratings...
...now before any of you get all uppity with me, I am also NOT talking about the investigative journalism that 60-Minutes employed to forever-after label the CJ Series Jeep as a dangerous roll-over machine.

This episode doesn't count because the Jeep DID IN FACT roll over 8 times. The detail that this fine bit of investigative journalism missed was that it took 435 J-Turns to produce those 8 roll-overs. It was also later uncovered by the National Highway Transportation Safety Board that the conditions were manipulated to produce worst-case scenario results, but again, I a not counting this as fake news because there were in fact, 8 rollovers.
...I'm also excluding the 60-Minutes bit that showed the locking rings on some truck tires exploding and "killing" crash test dummies. Even though the tires were rigged, they did in fact "kill" these innocent crash test dummies. Plus, "60-Minutes" is a fucking Emmy Award Winning TV show; how can you be overly critical of a show that has an award for its honest, transparent investigative journalism ????

Do some link analysis... see how many of the top executives from the major networks are bound by SUBSTANTIAL financial and quite conspicuous if not obvious social ties to the dem0cratic leadership that always seem to push for certain types of legislation every time one of these fantastic stories hits the airwaves.

CNN is quite justified in their outrage - the freedom of the press is an all-encompassing blank check that affords news outlets the freedom to present whatever degree of bullshit they desire in a consequence-free environment without having to listen to a bunch of complaints from people with differing political views.


Its just odd that liberals love to talk about Ethics - they love to force college students into taking ethics classes to learn about how important it is to buy Toms Shoes or Fair Trade Coffee, and ethical consumerism - they love to drag your degree pursuit through a minefield if silly ethical studies on the Ford Pinto and Enron...
...all the while they seem so willing to praise politicians that get in bed with Solyndra, media personalities that make up 'fake news', and movie producers that make their employees fuck for work. Then they are surprised when Donald J Trump wins the general election by over 70 electoral votes.



harumph - harumph - harumph


fuck you CNN - get over yourselves
