Why is trust in the MSM and the government at an all time low?

Whomever the fuck Drew Holden is tears apart NPR showing why diversity at news organizations is important. Weird how the biggest drummers for diversity don't want it in their MSM, social media, or government.
This will probably win a fucking Nobel...

Be hard to do when it's completely fake/made-up.

Bah, I usually get a chance to fact check, but rushed at the end of the day today. Oh well.

Now do the NPR ones...

That Atlantic article may be fake, but I remember the exact thing happening in Europe with women being raped, but declining to make police reports because they didn't want "racism against immigrants." About a decade ago.

It showcases a complete lack of diverse thought and it's a hell of a lot more than .1%. I thought diversity was important? I thought accuracy was important? Do we want dogmatism in any of our MSM outlets (outside of opeds)? Aren't these the reasons people use to bash Fox News and X and everything they label as "right wing", which is ANY thing or outlet that goes against the narrative? Hell, CNN was called "right leaning" in my own home recently.

But I guess we don't care?

Can you tell me on a scale of 0 to Alex Jones, what number is acceptable for intentional lying, opining, reporting exactly what a political party is telling you to say instead of investigating, and omitting stories because it doesn't match your politics is acceptable?

Side note: I'm pretty proud of that 0 to Alex Jones line. :D

Fox News is like 95% bullshit, but NPR's tiny bullshit is the issue? Meh. You should get news from multiple (real) places.

Well, that's the cool thing about statistics. You can just make them up to justify your bias. :D

If this is true...yeah, well deserved. They made her look slightly competent until the unedited footage was leaked.

Did you watch the whole unedited video? It was basically the same thing. Just edited for time.
