The real reason no one trusts the press.

"They're lying. We know they're lying. They know that we know they're lying. And yet they keep lying." -- Alexander Solshenytsin

They are not partisan. They are deceitful predators.

[robertlong]

Not only are they lying. They also want to shut down, block, and ridicule anyone who will tell you anything different.

[codymorton]

100 percent correct. I'm fine with differing opinions, not lies

[engmed]

They're less "partisan", and more "parasitic", from where I stand.

[janetobrien]

Australian here - Spot on! Agree 100%!
It is the media’s job to report objectively, without fear or favor. It’s not just the lies, it’s that they think the public is stupid enough to believe them.

[lpm]

so agree, too many people swallow one side without question, thinking it's the full truth!!!!

[goofy]

The term "Presstitute" comes to mind

[Chuck-tmmk]

Dishonesty is the Fastest way to piss me off & Never be able to respect that individual Ever again unless they admit they lied & change their behavior, I will Never have Respect for a Liar. I know that because I used to Be that Liar that would Not change their behavior. It took a Long time & a lot of loss. I lost friends, my freedom a few times, relationships, jobs & even my own self Respect. I look around & see Lies, crimes, perversion, sick people doing sickening things to others with impunity. All I can do is keep my side of the street clean but I really would like to see the world;
Make Accountability Great Again.

Newspapers used to have the editorial page where reporters were allowed to express personal opinions and argue for certain policies. The rest of the paper was supposed to be factual reporting of facts without bias. Times change.

[DonnaDzoba]

You are off the chain. I love hearing your in put. May God bless you and your family. Keep on telling the truth.

[anneo]

Exactly! Reporters used to report the news so we could weigh the facts for ourselves and make our own opinions.

[karkkosvolfe]

Once again Nick is correct. I agree with him on that.

[kathydaubs]

Nick I'm with you on this & most of what you have said. Your people that you are their voice & decision making realize they have someone in their corner. I'm from Illinois & I don't think we have very many that aren't in it for their self and their bank account. So much corruption in this state.

Down south we say, “don’t pee down my collar and call it rain.”

[marcush]

Agreed.

"Bipartisan support" in the media almost always means "100% of one party supports this bill. And we found two people from the other party that also support it".

It's not misleading. It's a straight up lie.

[Summit]

From another post I saw. I haven't checked this, but makes perfect sense.

"This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.

A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies.

With such a people, you can do whatever you want."

-Hannah Arendt, German historian and philosopher (1906-1975)

[Robyrob]

This is the same reason I don’t watch the news much anymore!

[TheJoyfulEye]

There have always been liars since the Garden of Eden. When I was a child I wondered why Eve was punished --after all, she was not the liar, she was the victim. Now I am an adult I understand that human beings are responsible for what they believe. We can know the truth if we want to.

[vanessakammerer]

God said to trust no man, I put my trust in the Lord. It's nice to hear from a Christian man who speaks truth.
