Just because he's president is no reason for M$Greedia to repeat all his obvious lies

[malaise]

and unsubstantiated bullshit.

Damn it - stop this madness. Stop spreading his lies.
You are destroying the country for your own profit.

1. Leslie Moonves expressed it best...

when he said that Trump was bad for America, but great for profits.

[malaise]

2. He and the Con have a lot in common

Both are greedy, lying scumbags who sexually assault women.

3. Moonves has better hair.

And he resigned, making him marginally better.

4. True

5. Not everyone has seen the lies for lies.What if every day 1 more republican sees lies on our media

because they don't show it on fox might be 1 MORE vote for the dems.


The media gets bitched at if they do or don't.

6. I think that the concern is that the media does not typically label them lies...

or falsehoods, or any other label. They often present the information without context or with favorable context such as "just another argument from the 'other side'" as opposed to the blatant falsehoods that are designed to muddy the waters.

8. Legalities.

I think calling them lies opens the door for a shitton of lawsuits from the king of "sue them" for defamation or slander or some such nonsense.

[Caliman73]

9. That is definitely part of the reason.

"Lie" implies deliberate falsehood designed to mislead. It is a legal barrier to be sure. The problem again, is that they rarely even portray the statements as inaccurate, which fact checkers can do almost instantly.

7. K&R...

10. Ultimately, they will destroy themselves as well.

Their own greed is blinding them to the long term effects of their actions.

[bluestarone]

11. Well if they will not stop this madness then

At least have a HUGE LIE METER over the fuckers head when talking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
