Breitbart surpassed WaPo in readership recently, #48 to #50.
I rest my case, amazon post has the backing of bezos and his $100 billion, and can’t beat Breitbart.
Just like sick hillary, you can’t just throw money at something and expect to win in this age. Your ideas must have value. Hence why their next move is to push for censorship.
Newsmax Info Wars etc., all have Roku apps for the TV.
Very cool. I just stream them from youtube and download the podcasts for on the go. Very convenient.
I hear nyt is offering subscriptions for $1/month. I think that is 90-something percent off the usual price. Demand must be through the roof!
Todays media is participating in a coup to overthrow the legitimately elected government. Example; ABC's "mistake" with Candidate Trump vs. President Elect Trump. Make no mistake about it, that was totally on purpose. Because they know the lie spreads much farther and faster than the truth. The lie is on the front page and the retraction is on page A-10. Most people only read the headlines and then skim the story.

when he first began criticizing the MSM for "fake" news, it was more accurately termed "hostile" news, but now they are literally pumping our unprovable, hysterical, or just flat out false stories.
That’s what I mean. Are today’s students studying journalism or effective political manipulation? Journalism History is literally being redefined. Or illuminated if you like.
I would like to think current students are being taught to practice credible journalism, fact check, etc. However, it seems all that goes out the window once they get a job and the ones writing the checks TELL them what to write irregardless of the facts, etc.
Yes, one would hope, but first thing that needs to be examined for that possibility is to run a cross-check as to where and with whom are they "studying journalism". If it's Brown, anywhere in Chitcagonam area etc., you can likely forget it.

But going forward, how is President Trump impacting those students aspiring to become journalist. The entire field has rightfully come under fire for numerous transgressions against journalistic “best practices”.

I come at this knowing that every single “journalist” today is a manipulated *****.
Not their fault. But they are.
Now this might be an old-fish story...
But it was said, there a journalism instructor (who was a major newspaper editor at one time) who pretty much nailed it when he talked to his incoming class.
The students sat down, class begins: Professor writes on the board: "I want to be a journalist because...."
He then goes around the room asking every student to state why they wanted to be a journalist.
Everyone of them that said they wanted "to change the world" or something similar. He handed them a pamphlet for the Political Studies major, and basically informed them they were in the wrong major.
Next class, not one of those who said they wanted "to change the world" came back to his class.
Please see Brian Ross thread.
ABC has confirmed Ross purposely bypassed journalism “best practices” and went rogue.......
But ABC has asserted its just because of President Trump. We can “trust” Ross on ANY other subject cause? Well? Cause they said so.
Same with George Stephanopolous?

When they sent him to interview (attack) the critic of the Clinton Foundation, you knew he had no integrity.

Brian Ross has had zero credibility for years. This was just one of a long lost of his #fakenews incidents.
Quote:In 2006, ace ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross went on the air with a big scoop: Pakistani officials, he reported, had arrested Matiur Rehman, an al-Qaeda explosives expert who kept an “official” list of terrorist recruits. Ross suggested the arrest could lead to Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader who was a fugitive at the time.
One problem: Rehman hadn’t been arrested. A Pakistani foreign ministry official denied the story, calling it “fictitious.” ABC retracted it.
A few months earlier, Ross had had another exclusive: House Speaker Dennis Hastert was under FBI investigation for bribery in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.
Only that wasn’t clear either. In an unusual move, the Justice Department issued public statements denying any federal probe of Hastert, who demanded a retraction and threatened to sue ABC. The network’s veteran reporter stood by his story but later conceded, “it’s really a question of semantics” about the meaning of “under investigation” (Hastert was indicted and convicted in 2015, but in a completely unrelated matter).
Quote:In 2001, for example, he reported that the anthrax used in deadly attacks in Washington and New York was coated with bentonite, a chemical compound found only in biological weapons manufactured by Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq. He was wrong. The FBI subsequently reported that there was no bentonite present in the poison that killed five and that it was manufactured domestically. The agency’s chief “person of interest” was an American researcher, Bruce Ivins, who committed suicide in 2008 before he could be charged.
At the start of the Iraq War in 2003, Ross reported that Ali Hassan al-Majid, an Iraqi general known as “Chemical Ali” for his gas attacks on Iraqi Kurds, had been killed in American airstrikes. But six months later, Pentagon officials announced that Chemical Ali was alive and in American custody. He was executed in 2010.
Quote:Ross came under attack, especially among conservatives, in 2012 when he mistakenly reported that the suspect in the mass shooting at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater was a member of the tea party movement. Ross based his inaccurate report about the suspect, James Holmes, on a Web page that listed “Jim Holmes” as a member of the Colorado Tea Party Patriots. Ross later apologized for the mistake.
Ross lacks credibility and so does any news organization that employs him.
