Well lets start with n0ot disparaging pieces as opinion pieces when they clearly arent, as you have done in the recent past.
Oh and how about we look at a peice, and even if it is an opinion [piece, we dont ignore quotes in it from the actual discussed source as opinion.
Finally, perhaps we shouldnt rely on the pedophile defending msm to disparage an author, and make up our own minds.
If a source says something you think is wrong, point it out, dont rely on the msm to do it for you.

Every time a story comes out that shows proof of democrat or deep state corruption, it seems many on ats and people in the media or politics just attack the source.

People tend to disregard any actual evidence, and bury the story as fake.

It just seems absurd though that the same people most likely to attack these sources tends to defend the msm as the only credible sources, and ignores any problems they have had.

During the past few years, we have seen them be wrong over and over, and almost every time it was to push stories to hurt trump or republicans, or people and sources they feel are competitors to them in the journalism business.

It turns out we now have proof that msm outlets like abc were intentionally burying stories about epstein, because they were worried it would make their elite friends look bad.Laughably, at the same time they were covering for a child sex trafficker that was connected to some of the most powerful people in the establishment, they pretended to care about women and victims.

Lecturing us little people about how bad we are, or running any allegation about Trump, the media outs themselves for the hypocrites they are.

My only point in this thread is that I respect even an alex jones before these people in the msm.

Lets just remember though when we are calling out fringe sources, none of them to my knowledge have intentionally buried stories into child sex traffickers to help their brand or get their people elected.
I said those that complain about sources then use child sex traffic defenders like abc are hypocrites
The point is their is a unique arrogance and hypocrisy in refusing to look at a certain source, and instead demanding msm pedophile protecting media.
How often is ABC used as a source here? They're really not that big time of a news outlet.
Time
This is concerning. In addition to the law-firm conflict, Alex Acosta, who served in Donald Trump’s Cabinet with Barr, was the U.S. Attorney in Miami when Epstein received his travesty of a plea deal. And Barr’s father was the headmaster of an elite New York City school that hired college dropout Epstein to teach math and physics. Do these circumstances amount to a conflict of interest requiring mandatory recusal? Barr, apparently after consulting with career ethics officials at DOJ, concluded they did not. But the appearance of impropriety, particularly given the President’s past relationship with Epstein and concerns that Barr had acted as the President’s lawyer rather than the people’s with regard to the Russia investigation, should have dictated that he recuse from the SDNY case.
What?
Ever hear of Good Morning America?
World News Tonight?
ABC is one of the original 'Big Three'.
Your stance seems to be as follows
I shouldnt criticize people who say I wont look at a story because its source isnt from the msm because I need to understand all sides do that.
Now, I am not really suggesting we do that... I was merely making a point. And I'd want to see evidence before really dragging someone's name and reputation through the mud when it seems everyone had some interaction with him in the political world... But that may not mean they truly knew what he was doing, or were complicit.
I'll do what I always do... Smell test, then ask who, what, when, where, why? MSM fails that test regularly... And the likes of Info Wars, Gateway Pundit, and many others do just the same.
I get it, you think that trump or anyone ever having met epstein anywhere means we cant criticize the msm for burying a story into epsetin without listing off every single person who ever met with epstein.

Finally then we can start to hold these corrupt media people accountable.
I think I've mentioned this before. Media/news isn''t about information or informing the populace; It's just another platform to hang advertising on, targeted to particular demographics. Capitalism gone to the dogs. Everything's corrupted by the profit motive. AJ is a marketing genius, works hard to give his chosen audience what they want and expect and built an empire on that strategy. Just like Ted Turner, Disney and all the rest.
...
Ultimately it boils down to two things, market share and ratings. It's the way things are done in the current media paradigm. It's just business, pure and simple, competitive and American as apple pie.
