.@brianstelter, while I appreciate that you cited two of my blogs, I think the second one really can't be pitched as "how the right sees the left" since it's coming from the Washington Post. #TTTpic.twitter.com/NL4DTlTxiO

It's your site's framing of the Post story and the subject!
Framing? The point was a number of news outlets ran with a statistic without checking its validity because it fit the narrative. It should also be noted that the nets (ABC, CBS, and NBC) didn't repeat the stat tonight but they didn't correct the claim either.
Is the implicit admission here that the Post is the left? Or that the NBC journos pushing the false stat are the left?
My impression is that NewsBusters views both the Post and NBC as part of the left, thus, the admittedly broad title "how the right sees the left"
It’s interesting that you talk about importance of facts all the time and yet you’re more interested in framing here, rather than Wash Post correcting several news outlets & journalists while NBC pushed a flat out lie.
I was expecting Brian to be much tougher on journalists who were *blatantly wrong* about the facts, instead of outsourcing the fact-check to a Newsbusters writeup of a WaPo fact-check
Or just linking to the Wash Post fact check correcting several of his colleagues, which he didn’t do either.
Brian, it's so disingenuous to claim you're pro-truth or #FactsFirst then espouse a clear bias when it comes to downplaying a falsehood peddled by almost every major media outlet
So the framing is what’s important? I thought FACTS were supposed to be the key issue.
