Tell us something we don’t know, Brian. It’s eyebrow-raising that Stelter would tweet this at all because it’s an acknowledgement that the MSM has failed the American people (even if the logic behind it is just a reinforcement of why few people trust you.)

You have that backwards. The people (not all but many) have failed the MSM which at least tries to be fair. Fake news like Fox and Newsmax are unabashedly propaganda outlets for the far right.

And let's not forget that a large part of the distrust of MSM stems from a concerted campaign against MSM by the right wing.

NEW: The media's disinformation campaign to confuse voters over Trump's Liz Cheney comment appears to be backfiring.

Columnist Jonah Goldberg, who falsely claimed on CNN that Trump wanted to execute Cheney, has issued a 'correction' for spreading the false story.

Goldberg, falsely claimed that Trump called for the execution of Liz Cheney on live TV.

"This morning on CNN I referred to Trump’s “rifles” quote as him advocating a 'firing squad' for Liz Cheney."

"I was wrong to say he was calling for a firing squad execution. After I said that, my co-panelist, Brad Todd made the case that I was wrong."

"I let my disgust at Trump’s comments get the better of me as this was the first time I’d heard them."

'Journalist' Aaron Rupar is also under fire for deceiving voters through his deceptively clipped video which has amassed 20M impressions.

So blame it on the media when Mr. Bonespurs made the comment about rifles pointing at Cheney in the first place! Any normal politician would avoid mentioning someone having rifles pointing at Liz when he may be the world's most famous "Draft Dodger"
I'm not denying it was an idiotic thing to say - that seems to be trump's modus operandi - but if the media head actually listened for more than trying to find a gotcha he would have immediately understood what trump said.

Unless he's biased or stupid. Or both.

But either way, acting like this isn't an example as to why people are losing / have lost trust in the MSM is insincere at best.

I guess I’m stupid but he’s talking about putting her in front of 9 barrels pointing at her.

I call that violent rhetoric.

And it is certainly behavior unbecoming and beyond the pale.

So why are we focused on one person who you might think slightly exaggerated what was said instead of what Trump said?

It seems like too many independents have just become apologists for Trump, no matter how many times they deny it.

Should “independents” be in quotes??
