    CNN broke stories on Al Franken, and the School shooting in Parkland, Florida. They were the only media outlet to provide live coverage of the launch and destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger. They also broke the Jessica McClure story and were the only media outlet to report live on the initial Iraq bombing by the U.S. They were the first to report the 9/11 attacks and showed in real time the second plane hitting the South Tower, and I'll stop there.....

    They have been nominated for Emmies 37 times and won 6. They have won the PromaxBDA award for 4 consecutive years.
    I'm not going to look up how many award winning reporters or commentators they employ or interview.

    I'm not getting into NBC, CBS, or ABC all whom have very high standards. Of course many will just say all their reporting is fake like that 9/11 and space shuttle thing..

    HAHAHA CNN admits they "Don't do investigations."

    As journalists, you are SUPPOSED to investigate, you clowns!

  5. I stopped watching the news several years ago. It's the worst kind of brainwash imaginable.

    I'm trying to make a more concerted effort to seek out good investigative journalists who are committed to their craft and in pursuit of the truth, and follow their articles wherever they're published (or documentaries wherever they're aired), rather than just reading certain outlets as a whole.

    I dont think mainstream media outlets lie (there are laws preventing them from doing so, as well as ethical standards within each organization), but they do present a very curated version of the news in a carefully narrated way. It can be difficult to find good examples of investigative journalism at CNN, MSNBC, etc ..and Fox, obviously

    Lately i've been getting really into Ben Amderson's documentaries on Vice. He's a war journalist so if you've ever bemoaned the media's lack of coverage of foreign affairs, particularly in the middle east, Ben Anderson is your man

    I'm just joining in the general conversation by the way, I dont think any of the media outlets lied about the Mueller report. Mueller spent two years investigating whether or not there was Russian collusion and the media reported on it, they didnt actually say there was collusion, they simply reported on the investigation. But I do have many complaints about the modern day news cycle in general

    So you don't understand the difference between a journalist and an investigator.

    Any good journalist would fact-check their material via investigation before taking the story and running wild with it.

    It started as a fabricated distraction to take people's attention away from Wasserman-Shultz, and the rigging of the primaries, and mutated into a feeble conspiracy theory divide the country.

    Let's face it, they placed all their eggs in one basket with this Russia hoax. Their credibility has been reduced to broken eggshells.

    The conspiracy world is a majority right wing and gun owning. You seem to want to tie all to left wing thinking only.

    Pizza gate
    Obama will take guns and make you worship Allah
    Hillary is sick so she can't run
    The deep state fears Trump

    4 example of recent right wing conspiracy theories. 4 examples Democrats never thought was true only Fox news.

    Can you name one that is "left" I doubt you can. I've been an avid conspiracy theorist for years. I assure it's not a world of Democrats. It's a world where everything is evil but your family and your AR-15. Nothing else is allowed to have authority over you especially the big government and tax Demarcates often like. What matters in this world is guns, Jesus, and no goverment other then a local town mayor YOU personally pick and you always have the Ar-15 if he gets frisky.

    The evidence here does not make a "conspiracy" it makes a criminal case. You sound like a hate filled Republican misusing what a "mental illness" is. A psychologist does not necessarily have a place in this.

  13. Sure..."Trump colluded with Russia." The left has been trying to push that conspiracy theory for over three years now. But oh wait...that's "not a conspiracy theory." Or "We haven't been saying that." So full of it.

    Also, that's just not true. Plenty on the left believe in one conspiracy theory or another. How about JFK? Nobody on the left believes there was a conspiracy to assassinate him?

    It depends on the story. When the dam breaks you don't have to do a lot of fact checking to report on the flood.
    I have no idea what conspiracy theory you are talking about.
    Russia did interfere in our elections.

    There are journalists, and there are investigative journalists. Two different things. A journalist might be a glorified news reporter.
    An example of this is your local tv news anchors. How many of them actually have a degree in journalism?

    I'm just wondering if one cares about objective brought news by investigating journalists why their fav news source is the alt right media.

    Trump and the Republicans are attacking Adam Schiff hard now. Nancy Pelosi just said they are afraid of Adam Schiff. It sounds like Adam is going after Trump hard now. He must have found some stuff in the evidence. The Democrats are not going to drop the ball on the Mueller report. Trump and Barr don't want anyone to see the original report because they know it will prove Trump committed crimes. McConnel blocked release of the report because he knows Trump will end up in prison.
