If you want to report a credible story use someone who's "opinions" are at least credible and unconflicted. (That's actually hard to do today)
That's why the link doesn't read
"Michael Cohen says...."
they know Cohen has credibility issues but they are baiting the reader/viewer in with an objective sounding headline and then BLAMO, they feed you the Narrative.
To be fair, most if not all the media does this to their advantage and they do it because people eat it up without using their brains these days.
Piss poor journalism!
We as an objective and informed audience have to be aware of this fraud and wade through the BS to discern the real truth.
"If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed,
If you do, you're misinformed"
Mark Twain
When I was being educated in public school systems we were taught about the dangers of "yellow journalism" and how in the 19th century and early 20th century newspapers used to be advocacy rags and routinely lied to promote their political views. Of course, this was all now fixed and newspapers were to be trusted because our reporters were now graduates of credentialed journalism programs and promoted "objectivity". This was always a lie. Look at the Pulitzer that the NY Times got in the 1930s for lying about the Soviet Union. Twain's quote is as true today with the MSM and it was back in his day.
What went from bad to worst was the 2012 Smith/Mundt modernization act that was snuck into the NDAA with deceptive language.
The US government is now free to openly use all forms of the media to promote Government made News designed for foreign information campaigns and feed it to the American public.
Essentially it made propaganda legal in the US and the government can send the script to outlets to disseminate to the public making them the bullhorn for government agenda.
The media doesn't ask questions anymore, they are state run and have "independent fact checkers" to verify facts of what they are given to report instead of being the independent bull dog fact checkers of our government like they were supposed to be.
Funny coincidence, or not funny, is the timing this was passed in relation to the 2013-14 color revolution and the Ousting of elected Ukrainian president Poroshenko and subsequent annexation of Crimea by Russia
Let me think who was president and wanting this shit...
