Yeah, it's statements like this that make CNN barely register on the TV richter scale. Or why CNN is rated a couple points BELOW Nickelodeon (a kid's program with cartoons). https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/06/wolf_blitzer_says_the_press_loves_the_american_people.html Bottom line ~ the American people love the "press" because they're so HONEST!!!! Trust in mass media sinks to new low!! http://news.gallup.com/poll/195542/americans-trust-mass-media-sinks-new-low.aspx

So what? He's allowed to have opinions just like the President who called the press an enemy of America.

Yeah, sure ~ but when you make squirrelly statements, it just re-solidfies why your ratings are so low. I could care less. Big CNN fan, huh? figures!

Wrong again....the job of the press is to make the government uncomfortable.

That the Donald doesn't like that fact is his problem.

The term "liberal arts" should have read "c*******tic indoctrination".

No, you are wrong. The job of the press is to bring out the objectivity of facts better known as "the t***h." Perfect example of that is Katherine Herridge, chief intelligence correspondence for FOX. Very objective. She just states the facts without any bias. So completely different than let's say a Rachel Maddow or a Sean Hannity.. Someone said "Journalism is DEAD"! and they are right. The "Huntley and brinckly's , the Tim Russert's, the Walter Cronkites of the world, where you couldn't tell what side of the aisle they came from, are a thing of the past. Today's journalist, NY Times, Washington Post, Huffpo, just an extension of the DNC, and most Americans understand that. That's why their numbers are below Nickelodean (kid's cartoon show).

CNN (Wolf) is hardly honest and the sad part is he knows they don't report the t***h.

I think Wolf meant the American press would like to continue "to press" the American people toward leftism because they love c*******m so much. That statement would be most accurate and not f**e.

I am old enough remember Huntley and Brinckley, and Conkrite and the illusion of objectivity. They were trusted sources and the only sources.

But things have changed. I no longer get news from TV or radio unless its by accident. I think in today's times news sources all have a point of view. So let's be honest here....there are no objective sources. Your list of news sources that you link to the DNC can be matched with Fox, the NY Post, Breitbart, and all the other sources that the right accepts as 'objective'. The good news is that we all have access to an unlimited number of sources, so the search for t***h isn't over, just more complex.

While some folks think we are in a 'post-t***h' society that is just too nihilistic for me. I think it is our job to find the t***h in a situation of information overload. The search cannot be confined to only one set of ideas. Reality is complex. It just doesn't fit into one ideology, even though it's totally natural to organize that reality in a comforting way.

It's not the fact that the sources are biased, it's the fact that we are biased that leads to how we look at the world. No Conkrite to lead the way.
