The issue appears to be that the media is simply lazy about sourcing. Used to be that they'd at least call someone and ask "Hey, we're going to run with this story. Do you want to go on record before we do?" The AP apparently didn't bother with that when they ran with the "national guard" story.

Agreed but times have changed due to the internet. Media organizations need to post breaking news in a hurry and vetting usually follows. This also allows for propagation of fake news.

Lazy!?

There's nothing lazy about this.

These people are working their asses off trying to take down Trump.

They are in full scale balls to the wall character assassination mode.

They don't give a shit about truth or objectivity.

Sean Spicer is more credible than the Associated Press? I guess that rambling clusterf*ck of a press conference had its desired affect on you and other in Trump's gullible base - real news is fake and Trump's lies are true.

If you can appropriate the term "fake news," I can appropriate "snowflake," snowflake. You melt down when you read real news items unfavorable to your dear Trumpenfuhrer. Get used to it, snowflake. It's going to continue.

Uhhhh.....OK.

By the way, I haven't melted down yet. I've lived though news about goofy wars, interns below president's desks, shovel - ready jobs that didn't exist, liking my healthcare but not being able to keep it, Clinton whoppers of the day each and every day, etc, and I'm still smiling and not dropping F-bombs on internet chat boards.

So, yeah, I'm just fine. Wish you could say the same.

Its not like it would require a quantum leap for anyone or anything to be more credible than the AP. My 11 year olds are probably more credible than the AP.

As I said, der Trumpenfuhrer's press conference worked on you just as planned. You now believe incorrigible liars such as Trump, Spicer, and Conway more readily than fact-based journalism. Congratulations, your indoctrination is complete. You should be very proud.

Well, that's one opinion. Not that it matters, but its an opinion. A spacey, hysteria - inspired opinion from someone who's lost his mind, but its an opinion.

You said it yourself. You'd prefer to get the news through the eyes of an 11 year old rather than the AP. No wonder you like Trump. He speaks to you like you're a 4th grader.

By the time that press conference was over I was ready to wade into a big crowd of anti-Trumpers and commence to whoopin some ass.

But alas, big crowds of anti-Trumpers are as scarce as hen's teeth around these parts.
