Legacy media and status quo people always use that excuse.
They are the choosen people that know the real truth only, so lets censor any opposition that goes against our narrative.
This is not just used against Trump, they use it for much more.
No surprise the working class people do not trust legacy media and their ilk.
Independent media is the way to go, not saying to stop seeing legacy media, but question and be criticial of the status quo.
So if I follow you right you're saying use Independent Media because they'll allow people to just blatantly lie? Is that your argument? Cuz it's not a very strong one.
Mainstream media also allows lies. Look at Fox News.
There are no reliable safeguards against lying in any form of media. The closest is the peer review process in academia.
You make it sound like there is no way to verify stuff he says. Like he was just in an interview saying he never said "Lock her up!" - that other people chanted it but he never said it. There are lots of videos of him saying it, so it's a verifiable lie. Of course the media should be able to call him on it.
Just because it doesn't fit your narrative, doesn't mean it's wrong.
You forgot this:
((( THE JOOOOOOOZZZ!!! )))
BTW, we have a special mode for our space lasers for June:

Oh, another iteration of "both sides are the same" idiocy.
What a shocker.
More like “kkkomrade”
This many downvotes on Lemmy is almost impressive
This person isn't from the USA...seeing legacy media? No one talks like thos in the US.
Russian or Chinese bot I bet
It’s a sea lion.
So… media has to simultaneously report the truth AND let liars lie?
Good grief!
Are you also critical of independent media?
I see a lot of your posts on my feed sometimes and you seem pretty left, what the heck is this about? You sound like a qultist here, what's going on?
Look at his username man. He ain't no Lefty with that name.
I just skimmed Jimmy Dore’s wikipedia… he seems politically relatively progressive, but personally selfish and slightly too open. Maybe I missed something, but supporting Bernie, thinking the democrat party is a shitshow, and saying that comedians’ jobs are easier under republican presidents doesn’t seem super far from “lefty,” though the Overton window is further right in the US.
Is it a different Jimmy dore or is there something else?

If the working class people don’t trust something, that’s an immediate automatic certificate of excellence and credibility for anyone with an IQ in the double digits.
Where do you get your information from?
Probably something with a .ru TLD
