Your source to mainline a year's worth of mainstream media misdeeds and malarkey.
There was continued outrage seen across the media landscape regarding The Late Show and the Stephen Colbert non-troversy, and they continued to get things completely wrong. The only question was how much of that was innocent ignorance or intentional misdirection. Of course, there was James Talarico, the supposed "victim" of the fracas, making his media tour to tell anyone and everybody how he was being silenced. But there was also irrational thinking.
Joe Scarborough had stunted comparisons to conservatives opposing that exact problem with their broadcast outlets, although he was ignorant that his example was the exact opposite. Then we had Kaitlan Collins going on with Colbert to make a similar point, but we doubt the host would be happy to hear his show being placed in the same category as talk radio.
Next, we have a truly bizarre tale from The Atlantic, where they published a lengthy account of a mother who experienced the death of a child from contracting a disease. But then, once questions were asked, the site made conflicting claims, and issued editor's notes after the fact, and the whole issue of the site publishing a created story that it might not have known was fiction has come to light.
We also look at the coverage of Kash Patel going to Italy and the press wanting to frame things in a specific fashion, and then we have Chris Cuomo trying to insult Megyn Kelly but only managing to indict himself in the process.
Now, crack one open and savor some outmoded media malpractice and misinformation
