I am weary to death of the Liberal press deliberately lying about President Trump's every action!

Is there no legal action that, when they are caught in outright lies, especially those that might harm the security of the Country, to punish them?

Back when George Bush (the son) was running for President and was later the president, the New York Slimes had a writer named Maureen Dowd.

Just about almost every.single.day she penned something about him. Terrible.

Disgusting.

She's still employed there.

NY Slimes, you suck. You're nasty.

The Times has lost its way. Back when I was first starting to read newspapers analytically, around 1950, the Times was a highly respected publication, known for its impartial reporting. Editorials and opinion pieces back then had a pretty equal distribution of political viewpoints.

I disagree, V-Tail. The 50's were right about the time the NYT was lauding Joseph Stalin and denying he was starving and incarcerating his own people. They've always had a leftist bent (in my lifetime) and have never hesitated to lie to support their bias.

The only major newspaper worth reading is the Wall Street Journal. Center-Right, like the most Americans.

But the New York Post is more entertaining.

My dad read The Times in the 80's when he was living in Chicago's near north side, but he had lost most of his 60's NYC Democrat roots seeing the actual effects of the "war on poverty", affirmative action, treating criminals as victims, and other leftist folly.

His brother still reads it and I think treats it as truth. Like people who watch CNN every day and think it's not horribly biased.

If the fabricated fake history of the 1619 project, universally rejected by real historians, and the pulitzer prize it won, didn't get people to reject the NYT as a gossip rag, I don't think much of anything else will.

The NYT reporting impartial, even decades ago? I’m not so sure. Read a little bit about its publisher Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who was anti-Zionism and buried the Holocaust stories in its back pages.

She once called Sarah Palin "Caribou Barbie."

My 15 seconds of fame was to be misquoted in the NYT in the early 80's. It was a trade show at the Javits convention center where the reporter asked me a product question, listened to the details, and when the bosses showed me the printed article it had been condensed to one sentence ... and meant the exact opposite.

Just about any subject I know really well, work or hobby related, but where I really know my shit, the mainstream media almost always gets things wrong.

Logically, they have to get everything else as wrong too. Because what you basically have is an arts major cramming for a term paper the night before it is due. They take something they know nothing about, and try to "learn" it in a day, and they don't have the brainpower or experience to really understand anything.

Me too. A NYT reporter spent 10 days with my unit in Afghanistan in 2018 (I was embedded & advising Afghans at the time). He interviewed me extensively and I was forthright with my assessment; nevertheless my quotes were selectively parsed and implanted to make it seem I said the opposite of what I said. This was their hard news international war correspondents. And they sucked.

The WSJ is nothing like it used to be. Decades ago I used to read it now and again. It was pretty conservative but seemed reasonably even handed about politics.

I read it for a few months recently and thought I was reading Time Magazine. Every story was smugly hipper than thou, and decidedly left-wing liberal.

No thanks.

I agree 1000% ^^^^ about the WSJ.....what a left wing rag these days!!
