CBS news tonight - they are being as honest about what's going on

[phylny]

as any news I've seen in weeks regarding his Executive orders.

I think when we see good reporting, we need to acknowledge it.

1. Same on ABC: They even talked about Bannon and the NCS

[FailureToCommunicate]

13. Yes I watched this station -accidentally - tonight also. I couldn't quite believe it was the same ABC.

[llmart]

2. Just finished watching PBS NewsHour...

most of the program focused on this.

[unblock]

3. that's not the problem. in fact, they usually report what's going on.

the problem is that the real news is often mentioned only once in passing. or sometimes, they'll actually ask a challenging question to a republicans.

the problem is that they give far more time to the sensational republican lies than they give to the boring democratic truths.


so, yeah, fine. good on them for doing something right.

but it's only an improvement if they actually hammer on such points and don't take the republican bull crap and distractions.

4. It is Improving Daily

As this right wing white nationalist overreach continues I have noticed a change in my local news....calling it like it is more and more, calling a lie a lie and not a disputed fact.

We need diligent and truthful reporting now more than ever, we are in an extraordinary moment. Hopefully we come out on the other side and we get a new New Deal for the 21st Century.

5. It is time for all good people and organizations to stand up for the good of the world.

I do hope our "Balance of Power" can stand up against Putin, Bannon, and Puppet Trump

[Mr. Ected]

6. Now might be a good time for the alleged "liberal media" to finally show up

We need someone to use real facts to take on the alt-fact crowd, or the line will be permanently blurred.

11. +1, they're the one who gave us the "equally flawed" bullshit !!!

[PatSeg]

7. I've noticed the news has improved a lot

Trump keeps attacking the press that has been much too lenient with him, I think they've finally had enough. Even Chuck Todd seems to have grown a pair the past couple weeks. He has really surprised me.

[keepthemhonestO]

8. Yes they have been doing a great job

just prior to Trump taking office, if only though they had done this for 6months prior to election. THIS might not have happened at all.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

9. CNN has been all over Trump's BS like...

flies on a cow patty.

[spike jones]

12. or like..

grease on opossum gravy

[Maru Kitteh]

14. Yes, they've done quite well.

[NYC Liberal]

15. Trump did a very dumb thing by going after them.

The reason the media plays nice is because they don't want to lose access. Trump no longer has that carrot to dangle, so they have nothing to lose.

[Cha]

16. I know, right. Dumb Dumb Dumb.. I thought that from the beginning..

I figured their tortured thinking is.. that if they promote War on Media(Read REALITY).. then their fans won't start having any doubts about the "great oz". they won't believe anything they report.

Instead it's had the BONUS Perk of the m$m upping their game on actual news reporting exponentially.

I think the "media" WINS in this case.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. For years they sold out for "access". Now that there is no access they want to look brave.

Well, we'll take whatever we can get in the way of truthful reporting, even if it is late and incomplete.
