Outrage is reserved for actual journalists who demand ethical standards, not for those who flout them to get Trump.
CBS News halted the broadcast of a 60 Minutes story by a discredited reporter because it failed basic tests like failing to include contexts, responses and basic facts. The rest of the media freaked out over this attacking Bari Weiss, who has been brought in to help reform CBS News, in malicious personal terms and claiming that the segment was ‘censored’ by the ‘oligarchy’.

This is a malicious campaign to undermine an actual journalist because she blocked their preferred narrative. It shows once again that the media operates like a small political club and exists to promote its agendas.
And hammering that home, the New Yorker tweeted out a fake story by its editor, David Remnick, mentioning a fake letter by Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar: an infamous sex abuser.
“Whether or not the letter is valid”, the validity of the letter being a minor point.
The letter is clearly fake not only because the handwriting doesn’t match, but because it’s a supposed suicide note postmarked three days after Epstein’s death whose focus is claiming that “we shared one thing … our love and caring for young ladies and the hope they’d reach their full potential. Our President also shares our love of young, nubile girls.”
The actual story of the letter is a cautionary tale to the people who keep shouting about releasing all the Epstein files and why the files need to be checked carefully before they go out the door.
But what’s really telling is the response to the New Yorker promoting a fraud aimed at smearing Trump. Zero media outrage. No corrections and no objections, certainly no suggestions that the New Yorker has lost its credibility.
That’s reserved for actual journalists who demand ethical standards, not for those who flout them to get Trump.
