        Attorney General Barr’s Office Shreds NBC’s Chuck Todd For ‘Deceptive Editing’ Of Barr’s Comments | The Daily Wire

        Even though they knew it was deceptively edited, they still decided to run it. Then throw in an attack on top of it! Even though they knew the true context of Barr's words, they still twisted it, and attacked him!!


        ‘YOU’RE CORRECT’: NBC’s ‘Meet The Press’ Admits Their Segment On AG Barr Was Not Accurate | The Daily Wire

        Ope! Got called out, and now AGAIN, have to say that what they reported was FALSE was false after host Chuck Todd was called out publicly by a spokesperson for the Department of Justice.

                  I have always considered the BBC a trusted source of news. However, I do not get much news from this source.

                  I do really like BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge!

When they simplify it all and there’s no gray. There’s no gray. It’s all one way. Well, life isn’t like that. If it doesn’t match real life, it’s probably not — there’s something wrong.”
                      Simple method to test if one media source has embellished a story is to change the TV channel to a rival station.

                      Trivial Example :
                      News1 States: Three people injured in a road accident, taken to hospital.
                      News2 States: Two people and a baby die in a road accident,couldn't be saved.
                      Who couldn't be saved, the people, the baby? Who did, or didn't, go to hospital?
                      Embellish the story audience by adding a baby was involved.
                      Alluded some facts by claiming taken to hospital.


                      Given the above random examples, how does the average viewer perceive the media in general?
                      I'm always cursing at the TV about media incidentals, embellishments,bias and missing facts.

                        Re: Do you trust the media?

                        A significant majority of Americans -- including 94% of Democrats, 66% of independents and even 14% of Republicans -- do not believe that the leader of the country is shooting them straight on the central issue facing the country and the world, which has to be concerning for the President and his team.

                        As President Trump dominates every news cycle, the media sources that you follow will pitch their spin on these numbers.

                        It is important to remember that various media sources have their own baked in agenda calculated to generate for themselves the most revenue and profits.

                        If your personality is to be a conspiracy theorist or suspicious of all people in power.you tend to gravitate to media sources that reinforce you predetermined world view.

                            Re gravitate.
                            You are correct in that people do travel together in circles.
                            They gyrated around in their own interest factions. Golfer,Surfer, Musician,Politicians,Technicians, etc,etc.....

                            These circles of influence are a very real fundamental building block in nature. If these basic principles where taught early in school , children would automatically accept their allotment in life. They'd automatically realise they are a very important cog in huge huge cosmic size mechanism...

                            Its most amazing when you see how it works in harmony with all else...

                              Some people build YouTube channels to attract and monetize clicks for personal profit.

                              A YouTube channel needs at least 1,000 views before it is eligible for monetization. Unless the channel is getting many 10,000s of views the $ reward is peanuts.
