The Collapse of Real Media credibility in 3 simple images...
Posted: Dec 8, 2016
What a difference 4 months makes ... From Meltdown to Total Meltdown to Man Of The Year ...
As Fox News notes however, while President-elect Donald Trump was named Time magazine's Person of the Year on Wednesday, the honor basically ended there.
While describing Trump as the real change-maker of 2016, the magazine also ragged on the Republican president-elect as a "huckster" and "demagogue" while reserving its most glowing praise for runner-up Hillary Clinton -- whom the edition breathlessly described as "an American Moses."
In describing Trump, Time's article almost exclusively used backhanded compliments. For instance, while the piece said he "did what no American politician had attempted in a generation," it added that he "magnified the divisions of the present, inspiring new levels of anger and fear within his country."
...
The article on Hillary Clinton is much different. Subtitled "The winner of the popular vote leaves a complicated legacy," the tone is worlds away from the fulminating darkness that permeates the Trump piece.
The opening paragraph reads more like the prologue of St. John’s Gospel than an essay on a presidential runner-up, saying of Clinton: "she became a symbol in a fight that was about much more than symbolism."
"She's the woman who was almost President, she is what might have been and what will yet be."
"Like an American Moses, she was an imperfect prophet, leading women to the edge of the Promised Land. Now it's up to another woman to enter it."
The big question is, will TIME name Putin 'Man of the Year' in 2017?

self-indulgent joke.
As Rush Limbaugh has said for years, if they didn’t make you, they don’t own you.
Perhaps a corollary is: if they tried to destroy you and you won anyway, you own them.

Time has lost credibility and continues - in death spiral
[ In Reply To ..]
Just like all the liberal media, Time continues in a suicidal path by attacking the president-elect selected by the voters.
They just can't face the fact they could not get Hillary elected no matter how low they went attacking Trump and protecting Hillary even though she was a proven liar and made either a stupid or shady decision with her private server and the pay-for-play Clinton Foundation.
Washington Post appends "Russian Propaganda" fake news - story. Funny, fake news source
[ In Reply To ..]
appending fake news.
In the latest example why the "mainstream media" is facing a historic crisis of confidence among its readership, facing unprecedented blowback following Craig Timberg November 24 Washington Post story "Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say", on Wednesday a lengthy editor's note appeared on top of the original article in which the editor not only distances the WaPo from the "experts" quoted in the original article whose "work" served as the basis for the entire article (and which became the most read WaPo story the day it was published) but also admits the Post could not "vouch for the validity of PropOrNot's finding regarding any individual media outlet", in effect admitting the entire story may have been, drumroll "fake news" and conceding the Bezos-owned publication may have engaged in defamation by smearing numerous websites - Zero Hedge included - with patently false and unsubstantiated allegations.
It was the closest the Washington Post would come to formally retracting the story, which has now been thoroughly discredited not only by outside commentators, but by its own editor.
Person of the Year - old and burned out
[ In Reply To ..]
is not necessarily an honor but rather the person who has had the most effect on events.
So are you saying Trump is NOT - a huckster and a demagogue?
[ In Reply To ..]
Because he simply is. For some reason, his voters love that about him, just like they love everything about him.
Trump got elected by appealing to the very worst elements in the American psyche, and now the right is trying to act as though he's some kind of a hero.
Here's the thing, to be a hero you need to have a character, a GOOD character, a BRAVE character, a STRONG character. Trump has none of that, he just has smoke and mirrors and ego ego ego. He is a mistake.
You can say you won, you can laugh at all the lefties, but you need to call it what it is.
Trump is most certainly a huckster, a demagogue, someone who still to this day will not tell those racist white supremacists to stop their garbage. Not in an interview as a secondhand comment, but TO THEIR FACE!
Here's an idea, Donald, tweet it! Just say to your followers:
"White supremacists are calling me their president and causing hate crimes to happen. Sad! Not what I represent! Stop the hating, losers!"
After all, if he can tweet nasty messages about an ordinary steel worker that get the guy threatened, he can certainly call out to his racist followers to stop it.
But he won't. Because he is a whiny little b****.
NOT my president.
Amazing how people wish Trump fails. - So what happens if he does?
[ In Reply To ..]
Trump fails and economy gets worse, more jobs move offshore, ISIS gets stronger? That is what will make Democrats happy so they can say "I told you so.?
Sounds like Democrats are cutting off their nose to spite their face.
Amazing!
The entire world will REJOICE. - THAT is what will happen.

Sounds like some have been watching too much - MSM spin and got overdosed on hate
[ In Reply To ..]
Spin, spin, spin and eventually one will get dizzy and fall IF one does not have a stroke from all the bitterness soaking into their brain and heart.
Amazing fortune tellers who have no knowledge of Mr. Trump are already predicting Trump's failure, a man who is a billionaire, ran successful businesses and got elected as president of the United States with a very loving successful family.
Almost laughable if it weren't so sad for the fortune tellers wishing failure on US.
I do not have to listen to anyone to know - what Trump is
[ In Reply To ..]
No one does. Just listen to the jerk for 5 minutes and you know he is NOT someone who should be president of the greatest country in the world, a country I love.
He is so far beneath anyone who has ever run for president, it's simply a joke. He is singularly unqualified to be president, and he will proceed to make himself and his cronies very rich at our expense, ruin our environment, screw our jobs even further by deregulating everything, and ruin our democracy.
BTW no comment on the rampant racism and public defacement being committed by Trump supporters post election? Why not?
I am not wishing failure on the US, I am wishing success. My hope is that Trump does not get confirmed by the electoral college, which I realize has a fat chance.
He will be a terrible terrible president.
So, do tell us what happens to those who - inhale Fox News on a daily basis.
[ In Reply To ..]
Neither response addresses the hate crimes - just as Trump does not
[ In Reply To ..]
If The Donald wants to get us on board, to prove he is the president of everyone, not just his deplorables, he really needs to tell his followers to stop with the nastiness.
It's not really hard, it's very simple. He just knows that that is mainly what his true base is, and the power and the money emanate from the alt-right white supremacists among his followers, so he won't.
So until he does or any of his followers acknowledge and address the fact that his presidency has encouraged people to go out and rant racially, deface public property and private graves, and foment hate, well, no, he is NOT MY PRESIDENT.
I couldn't have said - this better myself
[ In Reply To ..]
He blasts people who don't agree with him instead of finding out why they don't agree with him and maybe listening to other views. He has pumped up his followers to carry out violence against those who do not share his views. He is already showing his true colors before even being in office and he gets away with it because he has less than half the country believing he is their savior.
You mean like when Obama called the Tea Party tea baggers - who kling to their guns and traditions?
[ In Reply To ..]
Like that?
The difference is Obama DID apologize - and did NOT incite hate
[ In Reply To ..]
Sorry, but what Obama said was true, and why is that so horrible?
If I were someone loving living in these communities, what have you got to be ashamed of if you love your bible and your gun? Why is that something that needs an apology?
Trump NEVER apologizes for anything. Ever.
I am just saying he really SHOULD tell his followers to cut it out directly. Stop the hate, stop the Nazism, stop the antisemitism, stop the defacement of public property, stop having hissy fits if someone goes ahead of you in line. Or really just one thing.
Trump tweet: "I do NOT represent hate. I do NOT represent white supremacy, Nazism, prejudice, hate crimes. Those are NOT my values."
I wish, but never will happen, because even if it is a true statement, he will never disavow that particular bunch of deplorables because they give him money and power, and that is what makes him a truly heinous human being.
