When Platapus mentioned Scott Pruitt's office I was wondering who his advisor was with the intent of making a snarky comment. When I couldn't find out who that was. I wondered about who was advising the President and came across the Hannity Dobbs vid.

I find the BBC a far more credible source than those mentioned by Catfish.
Not feeling the love here

In other news, Trump's star lawyer (Giuliani) continues to inadvertently sabotage their own defense by sort of confirming BuzzfeedNews' report of Trump asking Cohen to lie under oath, even after the Special Council released a rare statement saying the BfN report is not "completely accurate".

^ oh i would not say "left" (whatever you think that is, i guess all that is not Trump course?) media are losing credibility, i would just say anyone representing an opinion diverting from the grand master is either maligned, fired or threatened to shut up.
Any neutral or common-sensed media are now challenged by people who absolutely know they are right, refuse to think critically, and have no idea of proper journalistic research. You know like those people back then, when they came to power by brute force scrapping up any critics, suddenly smelling their chance to payback any perceived injustice to those envied 'elitists'. Regarding Fox News, Breitbart or American Thinker the term "fake news" was created for them. That Trump stole it and tries to badmouth anything who dares to deviate from his absolute dogma does not mean that the rest of the world believes him, or his obsequious and uncritical reporting media. The three mentioned have no credibilty, and never had. Not in the eyes of the world, thank god.

As for "fake news" and which "side" pushes more of them, perhaps a better comparison would be any single "left" media v any single "right" media instead of a top ten list from the past 2 years. Say, WaPo or CNN aganst Fox News. I would be willing to bet thet Fox News comes on top with most false stories published (and probably least amount of stories corrected/retracted as well). |

There is a long tradition in Republican politics of seeking to discredit journalism. You can paint it in any colour and opinion, but since Trump and Bannon, the right wing goal is “The full destruction and elimination of the entire mainstream media.”, and replace it.

That's one.
I'm not an advocate of Fox News. What disturbs me is the idea that there are major news networks and publications that are beyond reproach. And we see quite clearly that they are not.

It's unfortunate but they and we all do it.

The question I had was not about the BBC but rather the subject of their reporting. However since you mention it they are not above sensationalizing stories either, especially when it's to dig at Trump or Americans in general so forgive me if I don't accept what they say without question. I mean don't you find it the least bit strange that for 18 months the Russians could not touch this girl just because she was in a Thai jail, in spite of her apparently possessing such enormously damaging information like proof of collusion? The regime that can run down and dispatch their victims with exotic radioactive poisons was forced to wait until she entered their territory before they pounced and then no quiet disappearance but a public arrest that now has to be justified? It just doesn't add up, but hey it's Trump right?

It seems they actually believe once they dispatch Trump that they are going to be able to recover their lost reputation of fairness. That is gone forever for at least half the nation. I also think Ted Koppel was right. CNNs ratings (and the rest of them too) would be in the toilet without Trump to rail against. There is no leaving that train now.
