The left wing news media in the USA is rapidly losing its credibility. The list of their 'fake news' is long and growing. Here is Glenn Greenwald's top ten list with some honorable mentions. And these 'tales' just relate to the Russia/Trump story.

All news articles should now begin with the disclaimer, 'this story if true....'

Beyond BuzzFeed: The 10 Worst, Most Embarrassing U.S. Media Failures on the Trump/Russia Story

As I’ve said many times, the U.S. media has become quite adept at expressing extreme indignation when people criticize them; when politicians conclude that it is advantageous to turn the U.S. media into their main adversary; and when people turn to “fake news” sites.

If, however, they were willing to devote just a small fraction of that energy to examining their own conduct, perhaps they would develop the tools necessary to combat those problems instead of just denouncing their critics and angrily demanding that politicians and news consumers accord them the respect to which they believe they are entitled.
