Do Mainstream Media Outlets Have ANY Credibility Left? The "Bloodbath" Debacle Says Barely.
With every overt misrepresentation of Trump's words by the tendentious media overlords, more Americans are waking up to their chicanery--and their favorability descends further.
I was prepared to write an entire article on the sweeping “bloodbath” firestorm (but someone beat me to it!) and how many mainstream media outlets outright lied about what Trump was referencing (auto industry) with the word. A few walked back their headlines, but others double-downed, saying Trump’s use of the word was a dogwhistle to his supporters—to be prepared for a civil war if he did not win the election.

Below is one of my favorite quotes about the media that sums up the unrelenting power it inexorably holds over our lives:
We must stay vigilant and perspicacious as to how the media outlets seek to manipulate our thinking and actions. RESIST, and also venture outside of your echo chamber; parochialism is not good for anyone. Peace.
