Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Even there, they were at least accurately reporting what government sources claimed, albeit far too credulously.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/864821983682408448 …

      Except for the glaring gap in the claim: the Iraq War.

      Right. Which is consistent with my next post. The official consensus has failed in a number of ways (bank crisis another huge one).

      Often those are perfectly valid. I'm distinguishing from the notion that reporters routinely just *make stuff up* and print it.

      CNBC just made stuff up. But the stuff they made up came from an ideology that was universally accepted in certain circles.

      You need to at least consider that what is happening is a collapse of an ideology that has been in the works since 2003.

      Tho I'd add you should consider how the 1990s RW Noise Machine came to subsume "journalism."

      I'm not meaning to. I'm saying after the 1990s there was a normalization of the paid make things up industry on the right.

      At a time when real news is cutting staff but Breitbart has an angel investor, is it any surprise more people make things up for salary?

          Sure. I was really thinking of traditional newspapers. (I don't watch TV news, so have less sense of how awful it's gotten.)

          Hard to divorce the make things up strand from cable news--and that's true on left and right now.
