Over the weekend we told you about the media covering themselves in more "firefighter" glory. It started with Jimmy Kimmel sharing a video featuring Mike Pence that was quickly debunked (Kimmel deleted his original tweet but that didn't stop some in the media from picking up on it). Then on Sunday, NBC News' Chuck Todd and "Meet the Press" aired a deceptively edited video about AG Bill Barr, which they subsequently issued a non-apology for what they called an "error."
Daily Beast columnist & CNN commentator Matt Lewis worries that those kinds of, er, "mistakes," might help Trump's "fake news" accusations resonate:
Matt Lewis ~ Ugh. The Chuck Todd/Bill Barr thing comes on the heels of the Jimmy Kimmel/Mike Pence thing ... We all make mistakes, but the media's zeal to push back on Trumpism is ironically reinforcing Trump's dangerous "fake news" narrative ...
"Mistakes"?
Tim Pool ~ Reinforcing Or Proving?
Yeah, we're gonna go with "proving."
The OG Hillbilly ~ Why do all the "mistakes" seem to always go in one direction?
Physics Geek ~ "Mistakes"
My cat just about swallowed its tongue from laughing.
Stephen L. Miller ~ Now compare how many times this happens in the other direction. You're in for another surprise.
"Mistakes" that only fall in one direction aren't mistakes at all.
Mo Mo ~ I'm just spitballing here, but maybe what you could do, Matt, is reserve some of your outrage for people in your profession who bring disgrace to it. Just a thought.
T.R. ~ What's dangerous is the decades of fake news, not POTUS pointing out it's fake news. Good grief.
RBe ~ "Dammit! Why does the fake news media keep proving that they're fake news!!"
