How unethical is this group of conservative dirty tricksters? They just got caught faking a sexual assault victim of Roy Moore and trying to pass her off on the Washington Post. It didn't work. The Washington Post didn't fall for it.
(SIGH)
I know that the mainstream press isn't trusted these days. The president spends his time calling real news outlets "Fake News" while promoting news outlets like Fox News and InfoWars.
But even if you're conservative, and you think the mainstream press has a liberal lean, you must admit that there's no comparison between the two types of news.
One side's "journalists" (yes the Veritas scumbags call themselves that) are openly, actively faking news. They are hailed as heroes by the conservative press. That same conservative press reports conspiracy theories as news (Obama born in Kenya, Seth Rich is the real hacker, Hillary is running a child sex ring out of a pizza joint), while downplaying actual news that doesn't reflect well on their side--like I don't know, over 50 contacts with the Russians during the campaign.
Bret Baier, one of the only respected journalists at Fox News, reported that Hillary was about to be indicted by the FBI in the days before the election (Complete fantasy). If a reporter for a legitimate news organization did that (like Dan Rather who got fired by CBS for an incorrect report about Bush, or the CNN team who got a report wrong this year and were immediately fired), his career would be over. At Fox News, he gets awards for reporting.
Tell me again which one is fake news?
By the way, I like this framing of the story...
2017: today we learned a woman pretended to be a rape victim in an effort to discredit real rape victims to help a child molester become a senator, and it wasn't even the biggest political scandal of the day
