'The Single Biggest Misconception Is That We Are Lying': CNN Contributor

The two biggest misconceptions about the legacy media are "that we are lying" and that they manifest "political bias," according to CNN's "Reliable Sources." The media's bias actually benefits the people journalists are biased against, the show insisted.
"The single biggest misconception is that we are lying," guest Mara Schiavocampo told host Brian Stelter on Sunday's episode, which tackled alleged common myths about the state of American journalism.


"There is a lot of media mistrust," she said accurately. Schiavocampo said she frequently encounters media misconceptions "when I'm at a cocktail party."
"I hear this all the time. And here's what I would love to correct about that misperception: We are human. We make mistakes." But she added that "most often," when people point out examples of the media's lies, "what they're pointing to is an example of a mistake, not an intentional lie."

So now they are claiming to be allies of conservatives. That takes some Kamala Harris-level thinking there.

From "the most trusted name in news"
To
" most of the time we're just wrong, not lying"

Did she mention that they scream the mistake and barely whisper any retraction, provided it is politically expedient to do so?

Russia hoax, mofos. You pushed the lie every night for YEARS. You knew it was bs.

No, they are lying. They will say whatever their overlords say to keep the paycheck rolling the truth be damned. In short, they are evil, propagandist, hoars

CNN telling people that Joe Rogan took horse de-wormer was a flat out lie, it was not a mistake.

When you're mistaken that often, the difference between mistakes and lying is splitting hairs. It's functionally worse than worthless either way.

And if they want to have it that way, they can't also assume privilege of being the arbiters of truth. Not if it's built into the system that you're 50/50 (at least) making mistakes.

Gaslighting is right.

The old "I'm not lying, I'm just repeating the lie without doing any fact checking" defense.

Won't anyone think of the cocktail parties?!

Are you ****ing kidding me?

That's a lot of "mistakes". At least they admit their pure incompetence. Half the story there.

All the "mistakes" tend to happen in favor of one political ideology. Sorry lady, those aren't mistakes. F off.

"Lov-ee, when III'm at a cocktail party, the rumor is WE'RE out of touch..."

Gah, at the country club, too!

And the polo fields!

Bruce...where is Bruce? He always leav...

Oh look, it's Batman!

lol

They're pretty out of touch, that's for sure...

The media CONSTANTLY GROSSLY misrepresents the truth, and frequently reports the opposite. It doesn't matter if is intentional or a mistake.

Liberals live a lie and can't handle facts.

This. Essentially they take a non verified story from a crap source and repeat it. Then they start speculating about what it means because of it. Then they go multiple layers beyond that with justifications talking about how Trump or Republicans or whomever are so dishonest and horrible that it's impossible to tell the truth from fiction so it is really still their fault. At this point sometimes they go too far and talk about some of those reasons Republicans lie and they accidentally mix up their own lies they forgot have been debunked repeatedly.

The bubble these people live in is amazing. It's how you get "Let's Go Brandon" getting confused for the real meaning.

Except the "mistakes" only ever break in one party's favor and never the others and the SOP is to scream the "mistake" from the mountaintop and then later whisper the retraction

Very well stated and hits the nail on the head.

That because they report the stories they want to be true without any attempt to verify or do actual journalism. They depend upon the public to debunk thier false stories and maybe issue a retraction, but usually just ignore it and move on.

Edit to clarify- they have confirmation bias, so they don't question stories that mesh with their beliefs and see no need to verify them. They just ignore stories that challenge their beliefs system.

Gee, she just lied. Again.

When all the lies flow the same direction, it's intentional

Maybe they should just stick to forecasting the weather!

You admit mistakes, but you cover-up lies.

CNN right now

Boy, that means that four years of Trump reporting was all a "mistake".

And yet, their are no "mistakes" on reporting on Biden.

An example of a lie, not a "mistake." They knew exactly what they were doing. Happens every hurricane season.

They aren't rewarded for accuracy. They are rewarded for speed and for reinforcing the correct narratives for the correct audiences.

Mistake: being so wanton they get caught spinning and deceiving.
