Waiting for Tony Doukopil's salute to the lawless ICE thugs in Minneapolis...

CBS and the Washington Post are now collaborators. The New York Times is increasingly suspect. What can we believe? It would be very helpful if some credible source would publicize news sources that can generally be trusted.

The Associated Press, and many major foreign news outlets, are OK. Surprisingly enough, the Wall Street Journal has been often critical of the administration.

WSJ reporting sometimes does, but their editorials are pretty much in the tank.

Absolutely! "See BS" news went down the rabbit hole of trying to become another Fox that bends the knee to the Malignant Narcissist in the Oval Office. The future is independent media. I will never go back

Complaining about CBS' decline in the past year is legitimate, but we should remember these quotes by CBS Executive Chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves back in 2016:

“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said of the presidential race.

“Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said.

“I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going,” said Moonves.

The CBS fish was rotting from the head down already.

These appeared in a February 29, 2016 story by Paul Bond for The Hollywood Reporter.

"Florida Man" was an internet meme based on the frequency of news stories about Florida doing stupid or criminal things, and the headline or lede of the story starting out with sothing like "Florida man sticks his arm up an alligator's mouth".

Florida man Marco Rubio is continuing the dishonorable tradition.

"unserious presidents"?

Come now... That's an "unserious observation". As we have now learned, the head of this administration is seriously deadly. He's a mob boss who hasn't got an unserious bone in his body, willing to eliminate anyone and anything that stands between himself and the next dollar he decides he's entitled to. The right wing of SCOTUS, I'm sure, is in a scramble to create any kind of cover for its enabling rulings.

Legacy media groups are fully oligarch financed agitprop generators. We are holding what's left of the Fourth Estate.

It is unbelievable that anyone who is not a magat still views/reads so-called legacy/main stream news. They are truly fake news, as our dear leader convicted felon calls them.

Mr. Doukopil is a mouth piece for the rightwing oligarch Larry Ellison; therefore, boycott his sponsors.
