People like me posted about Herridge on the Durham/Barr thread. We warned that what she was writing about was disinformation. We were poo-poo'd on that thread. We were right. She wrote and repeated russian disinformation while working at CBS news. Sure, she may have sources, but those sources were feeding her lies, and she amplified them. |

What's your next move? A Department of Homeland Security "Disinformation Governance Board" to attack anything the DNC doesn't agree with? Oh.......wait.

When the "what I don't agree with" is literally made up fake stuff coming from our enemies to sow discord and divisiveness, then yes. Adam Smith's "marketplace of ideas" was predicated on the ideas being based on truth. If we cannot even agree what 'truth' is, we have even bigger problems for our society. |

Yes, gotta go with NPR. They're fair and balanced. 
I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years.

"Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves as conservative, 23 percent as middle of the road, and 37 percent as liberal.
By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We weren’t just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals. An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America. " https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust |

WRONG. "Persistent rumors that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia over the election became the catnip that drove reporting. At NPR, we hitched our wagon to Trump’s most visible antagonist, Representative Adam Schiff. Schiff, who was the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, became NPR’s guiding hand, its ever-present muse. By my count, NPR hosts interviewed Schiff 25 times about Trump and Russia. During many of those conversations, Schiff alluded to purported evidence of collusion. The Schiff talking points became the drumbeat of NPR news reports. But when the Mueller report found no credible evidence of collusion, NPR’s coverage was notably sparse. Russiagate quietly faded from our programming.

You really need new sources of information. The one you keep relying on and posting here is simply not accurate. |

Actually, you need more well versed and rounded news sources. But you don't seek them out, do you? |
