Reporter: hey boss, am still in trouble for that article?

Boss, checks ad clicks: no, you're getting promoted. Do that more.

NPR responds by suspending him.

In turn, the NYT wrote a piece yesterday essentially calling out their new CEO as far left. Although, I don't think criticizing Trump is "far left" behavior.

Also, from what I'm seeing in tweets, because she's trending, people are being pretty negative about the product she's responsible for, even on the left. (Like Troy above.) They're saying NPR has gone from unbiased reporting of the facts to one sided opinions. I guess having integrity is super hard for a lot of people.

I heard the bidness described recently as no longer journalism, but advocacy. Across the board.

A real person typed that...

We have a mental health problem, a victimhood problem, and a racism problem. Although, it's not the racism this person thinks.

I hope it was a real person and not a troll. I think. Hmm, maybe I hope it's just a troll.

Sometimes I would like to see numbers of the people who write things like that.... who were raised by single mothers, and is it greater overall than the general population? The "I am deathly afraid of men/so I choose the bear" conversation has that on my mind.

Someone fund me a study. I can probably prove or disprove that single motherhood is fine for about $250k, over two years.

That headline was cute.

True, which is part of the reason I posted this here. It's nice to see this start to get traction publicly. I think only Congress has a lower approval rating than the MSM.

NYT had to apologize for a fake story.

Admittedly, fake New York Times stories are why I don't read the NYT.

I feel like a blacklist needs to be created. If a "journalist" ever, ever writes something like "people are only against this program because they're racist," or "you only want to build a wall because you hate mexicans," or, "They're only review bombing the show because they hate women," then nothing they ever say will have value to me. They're only selling a point of view, either for money, or some sense of self-interested morality. I want to be able to install that black list into my world, and never be exposed to those shills' words, again. Anywhere.

I know NOTHING about this outlet, but I have seen it advertised as stripping news of all bias. Not only that, but purposely giving right leaning or left leaning people insight into stories they are not seeing from their preferred outlets.

Ground News.

Not a fan of Carlson nor can I verify his statements as I have never seen any of his shows, but this clip is worth viewing because he's not wrong at all about the woman asking him the questions. That is not journalism. She is attempting paint a narrative using her own views, not his. This is the 101 of what's wrong with today's MSM.

MSNBC pulls their politically charged Morning Joe show this morning.

It's a pretty far left show with a lot of very heated rhetoric. Probably a very wise move to avoid anyone saying anything stupid.

This is pretty funny. I don't think any of us respect Rachel Maddow or consider MSNBC unbiased, but whoever put this together deserves an Emmy. You don't have to watch each clip completely. You'll hear the topic and know what she's going to say. However, what she says in the fourth one about protecting their credibility after the first three is hilarious.
