A meme for our time

I do believe you've stumbled upon the problem.

That's partially true, but there is a reason why people at real news stations get fired if they get their details wrong... and then at this other station, which will not be named, they don't get fired when they spout lie after lie, flip flop and just say outrageous crap.

MSNBC?

You ask if they lied, from their perspective they did not. But from your perspective, is what they said true? So they did not lie, and it is not true. Perhaps that’s fine for you or I casually speaking. But when one takes the mantle of a professional in the media, or takes a position where their word becomes a platform, they have a higher standard, a higher responsibility. Things like details such as “it’s raining on the east side,” to at the very least fulfill the gradeschool structures of who, what, when, when, how, and why? To perhaps give some context. To hopefully do it all with objectivity, or make it clear if it is an editorial, and to balance the perspective of such content. Fact, truth, all humans are limited by our perspective of events, but true journalism is about trying to construct the most complete picture of an event and collect the information, then arrange it so that it can be digested by an average person.

But, but... it's SO much easier to be spoonfed over-simplified horsesh!t that confirms one's worldview so we can get on to nappy time. :(

You make a good point. I could use nappy time.
