All The Fake News That’s Fit To Print: Media Missteps In The Trump Era

Posted By Will Ricciardella On 2:23 PM 06/30/2017 In | No Comments

A hostile and hysterical media, determined to keep the Russian narrative alive, has done so at the high cost of further damaging their already tarnished credibility.

During the presidential campaign, The New York Times‘ Jim Rutenberg, wrote that “working journalists” who believe President Trump is a “demagogue,” playing into the nation’s “worst racist and nationalistic tendencies,” must throw out “textbook American journal[ism]” and cover him in a way he’s never been covered before. Rutenberg continued, writing that if “[journalists] view a Trump presidency as potentially dangerous, than your reporting is going to reflect that.”

NYT is stupid even when reporting on something other than the Trump administration. Case in point: there was a shooting in a nightclub in Little Rock the other day. The NYT tweeted:

The New York Times‏Verified account @nytimes

Dozens of people were wounded by gunfire at a nightclub early Saturday morning in downtown Arkansas

Downtown Arkansas? Well, it's flyover country and its residents probably drive pickup trucks, so who cares? Literate people commented:

If @nytimes had copy editors, they would know that Arkansas is a state, not a city. #flyoverCountry

#NYTimes writes “downtown Arkansas,”  which matches their elitist view of the world.

"Downtown Arkansas", . . . near the corner of Oklahoma and Texas!

Trump has broken them mentally. The NYTs can no longer function on a basic level. Why should they be trusted on anything?

Wasn't Bill Clinton Mayor of Arkansas before running for president?

I couldn't find it on a VOX map either.
