If you think the news industry’s credibility problem is bad now, you haven’t seen anything yet.
It is going to get much, much worse the closer we get to Election Day, if Tuesday’s slipshod news reporting and commentary is any indication.
The New York Times’s Maggie Haberman, for example, tweeted the following falsehood at around 5:30 p.m. Monday evening: “Republican voter registration in NH is down roughly 20k voters from 2016 to now. It’s a reminder that Trump’s increased GOP popularity is in part because in some places, the GOP registration rolls have shrunk.”
This is not only false, but it has been debunked several times.

Why would anyone be reading the NY Times? Not a legit news source.

My first thought is this female Goebbels didn’t make a mistake, she printed a lie, to spread disinformation amongst the ignorant masses. The NYT, along with 99% of the rest of the media, is nothing more than the propaganda department of the democrat party.

Four errors? That's a pretty good day but yes, lies are more likely.

Journalistic errors? Not even close. Mark Twain, quoting some Brit, said it best: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."
Here, we've got the hat trick plus a bonus.

I really like the part of the article where the reporter said not to accept the Bloomberg quote because it didn't include the 'whole statement, it was a part of the speech taken out of concept. We know liberal reporters would never do that!
S/O

Maggie is making the same mistake the left made in 2016. Lying and skewing the news to fit the demonrat narrative. She’s just setting up the SJWs, et al for massive rage and disappointment on November 3.
So keep doing it, leftists. Because it worked so well last time.

As usual, the leftist media is trying to influence the upcoming election by discouraging republican voters from even going to the polls. This, of course, will continue as leftists want to eventually eliminate voting all together if their candidates don't do well. Next, the electoral college will need to be eliminated so that 5 states will forever determine presidential elections. Be informed, be aware and VOTE!

It's as if these lying so-called ''journalists'' have never heard of ALGORES greatest invention: The Internet! The TRUTH is out there and easily available to the sane people and easily passed along to their friends and families, and most importantly, to their fence-sitting friends. After PDT's landslide win in November, these media pukes are going to totally melt down.. I can't wait.

It's the oldest trick in the lefties book. Always trying to create that false sense of inevitability which masks over their rage, anger, and Godless system. It's no wonder why they are such unhappy people.

A lot of NH Republicans changed their party to Independent to vote in the Democrat primary and pulled a mini Operation Chaos, most voting for Bernie. They can change back to Republican (or stay Independent) to vote for Trump in November. That's not scientific but EVERY caller on Beck's show yesterday said they were doing that to screw with the primaries like the Marxists did to the GOP in 2016.

Bloomie could put this to rest if he'd only release the video he's blocked. This from PJ Media yesterday: 'As is always the case with Bloomberg, he had the video of the speech blocked. Sadly for him, however, there are people who have the audio recording.'' https://pjmedia.com/election/bombshell-audio-of-mike-bloomberg-talking-about-how-all-murderers-are-ethnic-minorities-goes-viral/

Ms. Haberman has many other problems. There is a sealed indictment with her name on it. She actively assisted the left in their coup against the President.
She'll soon have time to write "Letters from a Gitmo Jail".
Stay alert, Ms. Haberman......
