Still trust the MSM?

I have to admit, thats pretty shocking.

I have to admit, it's really not that surprising at all. Everyone screws up every now and then. Every newspaper has someone a little bit lazy and shonky. That doesn't destroy the efforts of the many other journalists who are still trying to do the best they can.

I mean, you may rail against the mainstream media but at least most of them aren't trying to deliberately fool ignorant and stupid people into holding erroneous points of view, like all those websites you so enjoy quoting.

What erroneous points of view? Heard of the Adnan Hajj scandal?

Deliberate political deception. Or Rathergate?

YES. Yes. I acknowledged that. But they are only a small percentage of the HUGE number of reports put out by Reuters.

As compared to your favourite sources, which are 96.3% bullshit.

Provide me examples of their bullshit.
