No "LOL", because it isn't funny.

I say to you: prove it.

We have discredited Gateway Pundit, and many other right-wing sources exhaustively numerous times. You assert that MSM is lying to us, so it shouldn't be hard to prove it. Feel free to pull a story, and confirm from first sources (like court filings...we did that for you about a year ago) that:

1) they are lying to us (as opposed to making a mistake)
2) they are not owning it, and admitting it
3) if you can, show a consistent pattern

I am aware of ONE time that happened in MSM. Except it didn't. A Washington Post reporter invented a story. The Post published it. It was found to be a lie. But -surprise surprise- they didn't cover it up. They fired the reporter, printed a retraction, and owned it. And that was over 40 years ago. That may have happened in MSM a few other times. But one lying reporter is not a pattern with MSM, and if they own the mistake, it can be forgiven.

Your sources usually double-down on the lie (like "Trump really won in 2020"), instead of saying "oops". And I sort of understand it, given the reaction when Fox News called the 2020 election for Biden...Fox viewers were livid at Fox for telling them the truth.

Anyway...we've hauled a bunch of rocks for you with your sources, demonstrating they are consistently wrong. Just one example from MSM that fits the criteria, if you please. Otherwise, you -frankly- are talking out of your ass. Unsubstantiated accusations are meaningless.

BTW, I have no problem with Skeptic Magazine. I haven't read it in a while, but skepticism is a good thing. I am a trained skeptic (i.e. science teaches skepticism). On a quick glance, none of the surveys said that MSM is lying to us.
