      It's the naive empiricism codified in American journalism, where each fact has to stand by itself and the reporter (embodying the "view from nowhere") can't see a pattern.

          To add to this...an accusation against a Democrat oranginated in GOP “echo chamber” is amplified ad nauseum & eventually repeated in mainstream because of “news”. The same cannot be said if were the inverse. Go figure.

          (Unless the pattern is al gore as serial exaggerator or Hillary Clinton as unlikeable, in which case all stories are reported through that lens, which need not itself be established by evidence even once, because it is delivered ex cathedra)

          If you can’t tell, I, like many millennials, view the people on the commanding heights of mainstream American journalism as lazy predators who went to absolute WAR to boost W & Donald, getting them enough votes for the EC to give them a runner up trophy

          Do you really believe msnbc hosts Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Ali Velshi, Stephanie Rhule, Nicole Wallace are complicit? I have seen every one of them choked up on the air over trumps behavior and they are working hard, they are indeed in danger

          At a certain point, it becomes obvious that bluster and wind are not facts and should not be considered as such.
