Precisely so. For the next several years, if they survive that long, they will be beaten severally about the head and shoulders with their own lies.
Will There Be Accountability For The Legacy Media
- Thread starter Rightguide

There are not really many lies that you can honestly attribute to the legacy media. Mostly their sins are of omission, of what they ignore -- and most of that results from reporters and editors being answerable to MBAs in suits who sit on the boards of interlocking directorates.

Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself. Even your opponents are looking away as you openly engage in Self-flagellation. Here in the dimming light of Lit's forsaken chapel every one of your posts cracks like a scourge on your backside, our hearts recoiling at the sight of your self-inflicted torment, the air heavy with whispered prayers, but there you stand in quiet torment laying bare your flesh and casting your intellectual soul begging for atonement while others have to read and suffer what they can scarcely bear to witness. For the love of God have mercy on us and wake up!
Everything I posted above is the truth. That's all that matters.

This is 100% bullshit: "There are not really many lies that you can honestly attribute to the legacy media." They lied 24/7 for years upon years.
Not like you are lying now.
If you ever look into the complaints of RW watchdogs like Accuracy in Media, it always turns out that they're the liars, not the media.
Crankery[edit]
- AIM was one of the biggest pushers of Vince Foster conspiracy theories.[2] They launched an FOIA suit against the National Park Service in 1999, in an attempt to get hold of some pictures of Foster, and lost.[3] In a 1999 interview with Richard Mellon Scaife (who conveniently happens to be a funder of AIM[4]), Scaife pushed the Foster conspiracy theory along with the "Clinton body count list," a staple on the chain e-mail forward circuit.[5]
- They also push conspiracy theories revolving around a socialist world government, enacted through the United Nations[6] and a North American Union.[7] AIDS in Africa is apparently a "manufactured crisis" perpetuated by the UN.[8] These conspiracies also often involve George Soros, somehow.
- They promote Intelligent Design, even citing that bastion of scientific integrity the Discovery Institute.[9]
- Anti-environmentalist conspiracy theories and denialism are popular topics, including myths about DDT and Rachel Carson,[10] as well as global warming denial.[11][12]
- Anti-gay bigotry, including homosexual recruitment conspiracies.[13]
- Birtherism, of course, and they're still going at it.[14]
- Cliff Kincaid, director of their Center for Investigative Journalism, is also the president of America's Survival, another UN-conspiracy mongering organization.[15]
- Their article on CASA De Maryland[16] is illustrated with what looks like a parody of a 1960s-1970s conspiracy theorist flow chart.[17]
On the other hand -- if you look into the complaints of LW watchdogs like Media Matters for America -- then it turns out there's actually something to it.
Media Matters for America is a liberal media watchdog, concerned with combating conservative media bias. They famously produced the documentary Outfoxed which demonstrates the bias in Fox News.[1]
Media Matters also tracks and debunks pseudoscience favored by conservatives, including creationism,[2] global warming denialism,[3] and bogus claims about abortion.[4]
According to Bill O'Reilly, former Fox News entertainer, Media Matters is a far-left wing hate group funded by George Soros' shadow party. Although Soros donated US$1 million to Media Matters in 2010, this is his only connection to the organization.[5]
Media Matters is far from unbiased itself, as could be expected from an organization founded by David "Anita Hill is a Perjuring Lesbian" Brock.[note 1] One of their studies purportedly demonstrating conservative bias in newspapers due to conservatives dominating op-ed pages was criticized for weighting columnists syndicated in local rags the same as ones syndicated in major newspapers.[6]
In March of 2014, Media Matters launched Mythopedia, a sort of quick and dirty refutation of claims.[7]

"Legacy" implies its replacement by some other format -- but what? The NYT online is still the NYT -- content created by the same reporters and editors.I've noticed a shift in language - what used to be called the mainstream media is now being labelled legacy media.
I'm sure it's not purposeful

As it should be.
The people will become informed in the ways of their choosing.
Newspapers are dead for reasons.
Video killed the radio star.
Talkies ruined Mary Pickford.

Actual reporters doing journalism.
It's what you and people who reject actual journalism as "conspiracy theory" because it doesn't jive with the propaganda you've been fed.

Using the word "breaking" while copying someone else's content you don't attribute is not journalism. It's copyright infringement.

News Media is entertainment.
Taking publicly available information and providing your commentary on it is, at best, an analyst.
Journalism is neither. If it were, several people here in the forum would be up for a Pulitzer

Your opinion matters. To You. Ha ha ha!
“Journalism” was a 20th Century attempt at turning news of the day into a “Profession” ( ie a closed shop)
That “trade” is now obsolete.
Just as the printing press made anyone who had one a Publisher, a smart phone makes its owner a Publisher.

Deep thoughts
Not understanding journalism probbaly is your first issue.
Drinking the Kool aid
If you called it "independent publisher", people trusted you more
Maybe if you add the word " breaking" at the top.

Just because you hadn’t thought about it doesn’t mean it’s not viable.
You know, like impregnating Adrina on a Friday night at the pool hall.

Deeper question; when trans-"men" are on the rag are they just "struating?"
