Fake News Blows Up on Journalists Again; Where Are the Apologies?
https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb...-are-apologies
By Jeffrey Lord ~~ One can only wonder at this point. Does the liberal media have any idea - any idea at all - as to how much they are damaging their own credibility?
The latest case in point: the phone calls Donald Trump Jr. made in the wake of the now-famous Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer in 2016. Samples include stories like this from 2018:

There was more. But what is striking here - yet again - is that with conservative media under relentless attack because of organized campaigns to intimidate advertisers with the goal of silencing various Fox News hosts or talk radio commentators, the publisher of the New York Times is stone cold silent about that threat to a free press. The problem is completely ignored. There are no infuriated editorials, no in-depth investigative reports about how the shut-down campaigns work and why they are wrong.From USA Today: ~~ https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...615655002/%20*

All of which leads to a bluntly obvious point. The liberal media - in this case the New York Times — cares about a free press only when the President attacks them for fake news. But when the shoe is on the other foot and the subject of serious attacks designed to shut down conservative media or remove a Fox television anchor is on the table - silence.
The real object, in both cases, is to get the President, get his son, and get anyone out there in the media who supports them.

The Progressive Marxist Socialist Left and their slavish minion LSM will never apologize, because they are abiding their agenda...'get Trump by any means necessary'.
If Mueller does not get him, then they hope to kill him with 1,000 cuts, meaning one contrived controversy after another, until people sicken of him, turn against him, and vote him out of office in 2020.
If, by chance, their false reporting becomes a story in-and-of itself, they don't care. They simply shrug it off and move onto the next one.
The group that needs the apology most is the American people. The corrupt Marxist media lies to us all and some are actually fooled by it as we have seen on these forums.
Ir was only once again proven time and times again as evidenced by the Covington DC incident, Smollett hoax and this passed weekend when the racist Gov. Ralph Northam (D-VA) was identified falsely by CNN as a Republican.
