There were certainly a lot of candidates for the biggest story of 2019, from the red-hot economy to the Mueller mumblings to the president’s record pace in reshaping the judiciary. But, my vote for the biggest story of 2019 is the complete collapse of media credibility along with its continued poisonous influence. The media sold its soul to the Democrats long ago, but 2019 was its worst year on record. Consider a few of the worst offenses.Exhibit A...A Washington Post headline declared that slain ISIS leader and hardened terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghadi an “austere religious scholar.”

The Semi-Official MSM spouts lies. Those lies are now openly recognized. Cannot have catastrophic rise in sea level without actual sea rise. Cannot have warming without warming. Cannot keep your doctor if you get assigned a new one. Cannot impeach for high crime without U S Code crime. Noses out of joint do not count.
And so on. Eventually Chicken Little was no longer believed. Pout on, Greta LongSuffering. Count the Polar Bears, AlGore.

CNN said our President "dined" on Ice cream. A 10 year old is writing for them now who had just dined on a grill cheese sandwich.

Wrong..... 2016 was their worst year, it proved they are irrelevant. Trump was elected without the help from Hollywood, newspapers, magazines, the media, late night shows, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Twitter......

“President Donald Trump dined on ice cream when news of the strike broke.”
How terrible! How inhumane! But it was fine that Smidgen went to bed in the middle of Benghazi so that he would be well rested for his Vegas fund raiser the next day.

President may have dined on ice cream, but there was no side of chianti, since he is a teetotaler.

The liberal media needs to get up off their knee pads and free themselves from the democrats! Their ''services'' are taken for granted by the democrats, who have made them the most ridiculed group of useful idiots in American history- even worse than Congress! They just can't conceive of, and understand, that they can be as liberal as they want, but doing a bad job of their chosen work only tarnishes and shames themselves and their work! The fact that they don't do their work with professionalism, integrity, and honor just goes to prove that they are, indeed, nothing more than propagandists. They deserve no respect as journalists.

Our Lord is answering my prayers. While the media claims to be trustworthy they forget that actions speak louder than words. They made a choice to use their outlets to push a narrative rather than reporting pure unadulterated facts. They gleefully agreed to be accomplices in treason.
There will come a time when they will be extremely sorry for that decision but it will be too late; I doubt they will enjoy the consequences. Once trust is lost it is very, very hard for it to be regained if ever.
They deserve what comes their way.

I'd like to think #1 has it right. Our problem is that every year children are graduating from high schools progressively more ignorant from the preceding seniors, many entering college to gain thee patina of education, but in substance, empty, dangerous in arrogance and pretend knowledge, able to man the protest ramparts but clueless except in leftist verbiage.
This is why I worry. We have seen lately that poll numbers show more than half of youth favor socialism (there's the proof of ignorance and childishness), whose leftist minders flatter them with assertions that their vote will bring utopia. lies on top of lies.

2019 is the second to the worst year. 2020 will take the cake.
