Then we have what is possibly the worst media report of the year. It comes from The Atlantic and it is so flawed and filled with obvious falsehoods that the other news networks promoting it are going to be shamed for doing so. This is as bad of an example of the broken journalism industry as we have seen, and it has already been a bad year.

Then we have the “60 Minutes” controversy continuing and finally some comments from the show – but they managed to clear up nothing at all. And we close with a report from CNN on the abortion law supposedly leading to an increase in infant mortality, except the statistics show otherwise. The network uses very select language to sell this point fraudulently.

Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media malpractice and misinformation.

LINKAGE PARK

• The New York Times tries to say it proved Kamala “worked fries” at McDonald’s.

• The Times literally sent a reporter to restaurants to scold Trump’s fry-making skills.

• Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic delivers possibly the worst report of the year.

• That other major outlets repeated the lie is completely inexcusable.

• At “60 Minutes” they have finally addressed the controversy of the Kamala Harris interview. It did not help.

• CNN tries to sell another false story about the state-run abortion laws.

The lie here is in the subtle use of the language:
"More infants died than EXPECTED in the US."

Yet the FACTS are that the infant mortality rate has consistently gone down since the Dobbs decision. This is CNN pushing misinformation for an election policy. https://t.co/6olPwQBiFs pic.twitter.com/ayREohGiGP
