Role of the Media

Douglas Wigdor, an attorney who represents several current and former employees who have alleged racial discrimination at Fox News in a lawsuit, said he is representing the employee who complained about Beckel. In a statement, Wigdor alleged Beckel “stormed out of his office” when an African-American information-technology employee came to service his computer, “telling our client that he was leaving his office because he was black.” Wigdor alleged Fox News executives tried to get the employee to withdraw the complaint. “As with our other 22 clients, we intend on holding 21st Century Fox accountable for these actions and will be filing multiple other complaints in other matters next week,” Wigdor said.

Bob Beckel... just another racist rube conservative out to keep the black man down
 
The liberal NY Times is on the case. From the article you posted.

The New York Times cited 10 current and former US officials, who described the intelligence breach as one of the worst in decades. They spoke on condition of anonymity.

Yeah I know where the article came from. Seems like a bigger deal than plagiarism to me. Our major news networks are all garbage.
 
I stopped watching TV news years ago, so I won't argue with you there.
 
Trump’s Cult Was Designed to Withstand This Current Media Onslaught

"Interestingly, one of the most dangerous things which happened to Trump this week had nothing directly to do with Russia. Fox News, while it was mostly playing pretend in their alternate universe, got its ass kicked by both MSNBC and CNN. If this trend continues, Fox would eventually be forced to start covering the news in a semi-serious and credible fashion."

Roger Ailes Was One of the Worst Americans Ever

"Ailes was the Christopher Columbus of hate. When the former daytime TV executive and political strategist looked across the American continent, he saw money laying around in giant piles. He knew all that was needed to pick it up was a) the total abandonment of any sense of decency or civic duty in the news business, and b) the factory-like production of news stories that spoke to Americans' worst fantasies about each other."

Basically, Ailes created the polarization that his network professed to be addressing.
 
Funny that so many are coming around to what I have been posting for years. Roger Ailes and Lee Atwater created their plan to divide America about forty years ago. Ailes kept it going after Atwater's death.
 
 
Somehow CNN's headline is "Ex-CIA chief, Russians contacted Trump Team"

No shit. Thanks,

I don't see the problem, palma.
 
FOX News retracts one article about the Seth Rich investigation.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/23/statement-on-coverage-seth-rich-murder-investigation.html

On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich. The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed.


We will continue to investigate this story and will provide updates as warranted.
 
I love how that article was their top story in the midst of last week's Trump fuckups they kept calling fake news. The Rich story was legit fake news.
