The media is sorry . . . sort of. After the shocking appearance of President Joe Biden in the presidential debate, the public has turned its attention to the press which has, again, buried a major scandal for years. According to CNN, the reporters at the White House are really, really sorry but explained that it was the “right-wing media” that prompted them to avoid the story. (snip) So, as an embarrassed press struggled to explain the most recent belated disclosure, the reason is the “right-wing press” and the need to counter their narratives. (snip) They were countering conservatives and framing the news.

That's right, don't you idiot people know, even when they're right and spot on (Hunter's Laptop, Russian dossier was a fake, bidonnomics is a mess, etc.) we need to counter their narritive because we have been in control for so long we're not giving up. Eventhough we are lying to your face we don't care!!!
Now shut up and leave us alone.

Here's hoping the asshat warriors will take another look at FJB agenda of open borders, crime/law & order, inflation and on and on. Look at their covid coverage. They might try a bit of honesty once in awhile. That would be a refreshing difference. No respect for them.

So, leftists media types, when right wing media reports that a hurricane is about to hit the US, do you go out and tell your everyone that the sun is shining to counter the narrative?

So what you are saying is that you are not journalists, but you are political activists. I see.
Do these people ever listen to themselves?

Propaganda: information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
Some of the righteous Lefty media might want to look up Joseph Goebbels and the "good work" he did. Nazi propaganda promoted Nazi (Leftist dem) ideology by demonizing the enemies of the Nazi (dem) Party. Propaganda was also used to maintain the cult of personality around Nazi (dem) leader Adolf Hitler (Joe Biden and other dems before him).
The ONLY value the media should be promoting is TRUTH. If reporters want to SELL some idea, they should be working in an ad agency or work for a political campaign.
As has been exposed by confrontations at CNN and the WaaPoo as they are forced by financial considerations to reevaluate the way they report, the "news" rooms are totally filled with propagandists who are appalled that they should be truthful in their reporting.
Fortunately, media is also business and their businesses are failing because of their bias and lack of credibility. The public's default attitude toward media stories is disbelief. People won't bother watching or buying a product they cannot trust. No income, no media company. Propagandists should learn how to "code".

What else did we expect? Every problem in the country is either Trump's fault, Whitey's fault, or the right wing extremists in the media.

I'm surprised they didn't blame Russia.

Journalism is dead!
I cannot imagine my journalism teacher saying, "Now before you print a fact, determine how that fact could be used to do damage to the ruling party."

Directly related to the demise of objective journalism is the recent and ridiculous SCOTUS decision allowing the administration to continue bullying social media companies about "disinformation".

Here’s a novel idea; just tell the truth! No need to counter anyone, just tell us the absolute facts. Everyone will be much better off for it.

Second thought:
Advocacy journalism is what you put on the editorial page.
REPORTING is what goes on the front page, and traditionally, answering Who-What-Where-When (and sometimes Why) in the first paragraph.

A mere modicum of grammatical discipline could have avoided the blatant ambiguity in the headline...
Reporters blame their failure to disclose Biden's infirmity on Right-Wing media.
Recent generations have taken literacy for granted, and the dangers of poor communication skills are vastly under-appreciated. Collectively heading into the new dark ages.

This is a truckload of manure. The Enemedia knew it was true and covered it up intentionally, with malicious intent.
Liars.

The old days (when I took 'journalism' classes back in the dark ages) the objective of a 'reporter' was to report the facts. Period. It was up to the reader to analyze the facts. Now 'journalists' tell you only the facts that fit their preconceived opinion of what you should think. And I think it doesn't really matter to them if the 'facts' they give are actually factual.

As I recall, the conservative media did report infirmities. Perhaps, the MSM didn’t notice because they were too busy condemning the conservative report as outrageous GOP lies while reporting that Biden was in great physical and mental condition.
This will not cover up the fact that it was the MSM that was lying.
