69. Now you're posting something that dramatically undermines your position as if it supports it?

May 2024

You've gone around saying nobody reads the newspapers to justify your LIE that mainstream media did not report this. This story was first reported in the washington post. That's about as mainstream media as you can get.

You say TV media didn't report it and we should all be super mad about that. Now you post that fewer and fewer people are actually getting news from TV and more and more people are getting news from "digital sources".

How do you not realize that people that read stories originating from the washington post are doing so on "digital sources"? The poster you're responding clearly shows how the story was spread far and wide on digital sources.

Frankly, how is your judgment so bad that you simply accept Media Matters framing on this so uncritically?

Mainstream Media Refused to Report Trump's Bombshell Quid Pro Quo Offer to Big Oil Execs [View all] Kid Berwyn May 2024 OP

He's going to lose the election so it'd be moot. jimfields33 May 2024 #1

Agree. But, he'd lose by more if the News Media did their job. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #2

That's true. They should at least look into it. jimfields33 May 2024 #3

I'd say they fear a landslide and want 50/50 despite the repercussions. GreenWave May 2024 #58

What is the opposite of moot? Jakes Progress May 2024 #31

Debatable. NanaCat May 2024 #70

Sounds like there are some actual journalists... and Media Matters isn't one of them FBaggins May 2024 #4

Wrong. It's a major story the mainstream media buried. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #6

Mainstream media didn't bury it as you've been told multiple times AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #40

Washington Post broke the story. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #44

The Washington Post isn't mainstream media? AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #46

Yes, the Washington Post is mainstream. But the story IS NOT. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #47

That makes no sense AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #49

No. You don't bother to read/report what the OP states. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #52

So... AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #57

Nothing but smears. LOL. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #84

Anything to avoid saying that the Washington Post is mainstream media AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #85

So, where's the coverage? Kid Berwyn May 2024 #91

Oh, yeah, it only counts if you can see Corporate McPravda's spin AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #93

This message was self-deleted by its author mahatmakanejeeves May 2024 #56

It is neither a major story - nor was it buried FBaggins May 2024 #54

So don't report it as quid pro quo but do report it! CrispyQ May 2024 #9

Trump wants the Fossil Fuel Industry to keep "The Gravy Train" of the status quo running ... Botany May 2024 #5

Every last drop must be monetized. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #8

Oil companies do a lot of advertising on the corporate media SocialDemocrat61 May 2024 #7

Absolute Badda-Bingo! Kid Berwyn May 2024 #10

Maybe it's because the mainstream media is more aligned with big oil than it is with progressive politics? jalan48 May 2024 #12

Nah, its'because the OP doesn't read newspapers or the Internet AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #41

Nice smear. I worked as a staff writer/reporter for a daily newspaper. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #48

I was a reporter at one of the largest papers in the country AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #62

You can report it on page 1 or page 54. hay rick May 2024 #13

What? liberalgunwilltravel May 2024 #15

I should have been clearer -- mainstream television and cable. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #24

Apparently newspapers don't count AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #27

But I don't want to believe that, so it's not true. NT mahatmakanejeeves May 2024 #28

Dozens of articles via Google. So what? Kid Berwyn May 2024 #37

You're the one who said mainstream media isn't covering it AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #38

Because the story is not getting the coverage it merits. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #50

"Mainstream Media Refused to Report Trump's Bombshell Quid Pro Quo Offer to Big Oil Execs" AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #53

Hillary Clinton seconded Media Matters. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #101

Which doesn't change the fact that the story was widely reported AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #102

So show the reportage from NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN or Fox. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #103

You keep crying for your Corporate McPravda to report this AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #105

So you have nothing, but you can't admit that. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #106

You're the one with the reading comprehension issues AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #108

Resorting to insults shows you don't have an argument. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #110

I was being helpful and you accuse me of insulting you? AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #111

Media Matters published it. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #114

Media Matters started this post? AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #115

Such wit serves to divert attention. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #117

Why should I? AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #118

So where is the coverage in the mainstream media? Kid Berwyn May 2024 #128

That link doesn't say anything about Trump, oil policy or $1B dollars AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #130

Why wouldn't you put that in your link name? AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #137

What's odd is your obsession with putting me down. Kid Berwyn May 2024 #138

This discussion is about Trump offering big oil something? AZSkiffyGeek May 2024 #141
