Justice Ginsburg says deep divisions on the way, and Supreme Court watchers look for clues Textbook example of how fake news works. Ginsburg said: “Given the number of most-watched cases still unannounced, I cannot predict that the relatively low sharp divisions ratio will hold.” Big stretch between that statement and saying “deep divisions on the way.” Ginsburg’s comment was a refusal to speculate given the inability to accurately predict future outcome. This “journalists” headline is a statement of definitive fact. One is dishonest. Hint, it’s the headline. Deep division on the way? What fucking planet are you on?? Deep divisions ever since Nixon! I see your Nixon... I counter Abe Lincoln.

I found Dorb's entire outlook on the US Media.... They did it to themselves. They're too busy trying to get the clicks and the ad bucks and somewhere along the way forgot that being the most sensational and first aren't what's important. A truly good news media would always be truthful and honest, operate outside the sphere of individual politics, and wouldn't endorse specific ideologies. All we get today is subversive opinions and whatever slant the rich people that run the big media conglomerate want to push. Is it too much to ask for objective fact based journalism and letting the viewer/reader draw their own conclusions from the evidence?

In other words, don't be like CNN or FOX NEWS. I lay the blame for all of this at the feet of FOX, Rush Limbaugh, and Rupert Murdoch. I remember a time when CNN was good, unbiased journalism. Then Rush Limbaugh came along and called them "Communist News Network" and FOX began and suddenly conservatives were "under attack." There's always been more conservatives than liberals; part of human nature is to fear change, but sleazy Murdoch used conservative values to marshal legions of people into following blindly whatever policies helped the uber-rich make the most money. Now you have people that will happily vote against their own interests and when shit blows up in their face they blame Democrats because FOX told them too. A perfect example are the farmers hurt by this trade war.

This has resulted in journalist and networks (Fox and CNN included) going right back to yellow journalism instead of focusing on their work having integrity. To blame it on Fox would not be fair as all of these networks have been caught in lies over many years and yellow journalism has existed since Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst back in the 1890's.

I think you and I can agree to disagree on some points, but we are in concordance with the 24 news cycle bullshit. THAT was a mistake.

We don't ever have to agree especially when it is on opinions or opinions based on some bits of data that point to possibilities of a fact (i.e. not absolute truth). That being said, I still wont agree that Fox is to blame for the degradation of the quality of CNN's reporting. Fox is not making other networks release garbage news and only CNN should be responsible for their quality. Doing the same as everyone else, especially when you know you are wrong does not make you any better or different and, in the end, it doesn't matter who did it first or last, if you produce garbage it is still garbage.

This kind of garbage reporting is why CNN is fake news. Election season is coming up so here they have an exclusive with another newly announced Trump sexual assault accuser. This entire interview is just a CNN "journalist" telling a narrative while the supposed victim basically agrees with everything she says about an assault she claims happened 23 years ago. Funny how she suddenly remembers this alleged assault now that she has a book about to drop on July 2nd. A book titled: What Do We Need Men For?: A Modest Proposal.
Here's the jacket cover blurb on her book: "When E. Jean Carroll―possibly the liveliest woman in the world and author of Ask E. Jean in Elle Magazine ― realized that her eight million readers and question-writers all seemed to have one thing in common―problems caused by men―she hit the road. Criss-crossing the country with her blue-haired poodle Lewis Carroll, E. Jean stopped in every town named after a woman between Eden, Vermont and Tallulah, Louisiana to ask women the crucial question: What Do We Need Men For?
E. Jean gave her rollicking road trip a sly, stylish turn when she deepened the story, creating a list called “The Most Hideous Men of My Life,” and began to reflect on her own sometimes very dark history with the opposite sex. What advice would she have given to her past selves―as Miss Cheerleader USA and Miss Indiana University? Or as the fearless journalist, television host and eventual advice columnist she became? E. Jean intertwines the stories of the outspoken people she meets on her road trip with her own history of bad behavior (from mafia bosses, media titans, boyfriends, husbands, a serial killer, and others) creating a decidedly dark yet hopeful, hilarious and thrilling narrative. Her answer to the question What Do We Need Men For? will shock men and delight women."
So imagine that. A raving self important feminist who makes her living as an "advice columnist" (LOL) making an accusation of assault, that she apparently didn't feel was important to pursue in the last nearly 25 years, providing no evidence or proof to support her claim other than her word that it happened, deciding NOW to come out with this news right before election season and just a few weeks before she has a book going on sale. GTFOH with that CNN. You don't need to be a Trump supporter or apologist to see this kind of crap smells of dirty politics and fake news.

WaPo might as well be akin to Salon these days too. Most of their articles are pure echo chamber bias and clickbait anymore.
