not at all. news has never worked like that. you aim to be as accurate as you can be, but you don't NOT do the news without all the facts because most often the facts are obscure at best, and the reason for news is to break stories that people LIKE YOURSELF can research into. THAT's actually journalism, and always has been. unless your talking TIME magazine or something. but hard hitting journalism is always obscure, unless it's considered a "bombshell" (industry talk) or unless you are doing investigative journalism, where you do not rely on sources, solely, but GO OUT into the field and get tape, interview people, find evidence ect ect like AN INVESTIGATOR. but that's ONE type of journalistic endeavor. broadcast reporting works solely on the level that you see here at TYT and everywhere else where it's done. sources come in, they report it, you research it; they might do a follow-up, correct any mistakes, usually brought in by their viewers, why? because the news tends to keep up with THE NEWS. it's like you think that they should only bring you bombshell facts to blow your mind, and then what...you go about day? NO. this is JOINT EFFORT, and always has been. you know why there are so many outlets? because it works. the more information spread the better. misinformation can be detected and exposed. just because there is mistakes in reporting, doesn't mean they are not reporters. don't be so absolutely foolish.

i never said i don't like any of those people. i like Hitchens, especially. but yeah, this isn't a popularity contest...i'm sure he doesn't want to address the same dumb question about people's misapprehension about his beliefs on the Armenian Genocide. he simply says it wasn't a "genocide"? that isn't denying anything happened, that's semantics. you want to hate him for that, go right ahead, at least it's honest. and of course they have a slant to stories regarding bigotry, because it's a hot button issue, these days, hell, half the presidential candidates are running on this very premise - that and immigration, of course. but that slant doesn't leave out Muslims, no, it encourages it. it just so happens there are much more stories involving other people that occur, and these stories comes out quicker because A: they happen more often and B: because we already have the slant against Muslims, especially in the mainstream media, and we don't need to have it constantly covered by an outlet that is aiming to focus on stories that are less mainstream, such as bigotry and hate from OTHER PEOPLE OTHER THAN MUSLIM, which coincidentally...HAPPENS MORE OFTEN.

no, it is ironic, because you say that they are everything they are not, while you staunchly defend that right-wing bullshit is any better, by association of your comments (because only an opponent could try to inflame their adversary with such outright empty rhetoric); which they BTW, lie to their advocacies, and they only make for bullshit far-right scummy misrepresenting, biased, offended-by-everything, and everything-is-about-race-and-gender.
that's certainly 1 definition of ironic.
-- a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result
synonyms, paradoxical. which is exactly what your comment was.
