Your examples did not satisfy the criteria. Rathergate? That was exposed at the time (if you're referring to being beaten-up in a public toilet?). And it was ONE GUY. Just like the Post was ONE reporter (don't remember if it was male or female). RussiaRussiaRussia resulted in jail time for several folks. You probably don't want to use that example to prove your point (because it doesn't).

They make mistakes. Sometimes individuals lie. But to say the MSM systematically lies is not a statement I can accept without proof. Gateway Pundit systemically lies, as an example. So does Breitbart. We've shown that over and over and over again just on this board. You may as well say "there is a god"...unless you can prove it, I won't accept it.

I'm not defensive. I'm just tired of the drone "MSM lies" without proof. My comfort is irrelevant. I want facts. That's it. That's the end of my interest in media. If they don't provide me with useful facts, they are useless.

Is the US southern border secure? No. And I don't know anyone that says it is. The NYT doesn't say it is (I actually read those articles, so I know what they say). And, for the record, the northern border isn't secure either. In fact, it's far less secure. It is completely unguarded, there is very little fencing, and it's really easy to walk (either way) across (though, from what little I've read about the northern border, the Mounties patrol it better than we do, and snag the occasional errant American).
