Your source to mainline a year's worth of mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey.
The one story that has managed to earn a bit of attention amid all of the Minnesota hysterics was the announced layoffs at The Washington Post. More than slashing jobs, the paper is eliminating major news departments, like sports and book reviews. Quite a few foreign bureaus were closed entirely as well.
What is expected is that many in the media are saying this is a result of owner Jeff Bezos bowing to the Trump administration, but this ignores some deeply uncomfortable realities. The paper had been losing a fortune in the years before Trump took office. And, as we saw in a flurry of fractured reports this week, the level of journalism is a primary issue.
We then look over at CNN, where CEO Mark Thompson fielded concerned questions with staffers iduring a meeting as they voiced displeasure at a conservative receiving so much air time at the network (Read that as “any air time at all.”) Then there is the very curious report the cable network's website gave, where it was heralding the activity of a pair of teenage brothers who are full-time agitators of ICE (AKA Nazis, according to radical leftists) on the streets of Minneapolis.
Now, crack one open and savor some outmoded media malpractice and misinformation.
