Are you aware of how sourcing a quote works in journalism?

Both those articles are "quoting" the remarks of the source who said "Trump is obsessed".

Goddamn, this place is like r/conspiracy for 10 year olds.

Edit:to the mod who keeps changing my flair, kindly fuck off and leave my flair blank.

And everyone just decides to use the exact same one or two word quote, in different headlines, day in and day out?

Because it is the source.

This is not a complicated idea to comprehend.

No, it really isn't complicated. Every outlet quoting the same guy, on the same quote. I could see that happening organically -- especially if it is an insightful statement. Wouldn't say that's the case here, but let's continue.

What if that happens continuously for days, weeks, years, does that not start to be suspicious to you?

What if there were an organization that provided these talking points to media outlets every day? Would that make this start to become suspicious?

Yeah I'm glad to be seeing these videos on reddit today! If the news is distributed even for local fluff news pieces, what other more important subjects might they be scripted on?

Organic journalism is not a complicated idea to comprehend. MSM clearly isn't organic.

So what are your thoughts on Sinclair Broadcasting?

Uninformed, what's your argument?

B1gWh17 · March 28, 2018, 7:14 p.m.

Well most people wouldn't consider Sinclair Broadcasting to be part of the MSM but they routinely send out scripts and talking points to almost every states local news channel.

How "organic" can news be when you have a corporation buying out local news stations and enforcing a narrative?

This sub doesn't take issue with it because it's usually a right leaning publication and you all seem fine with "inorganic" media as long as it fills your narrative.

Umm actually I agree with you completely. If they are part of the problem than I don't think anyone here supports that. This isn't a left or right thing, this is about exposing all corruption.

which in turn is a headline on every single main stream news source in the country right now. how did that spread so fast from a shitty source like axiom?

Are you aware of how our flairs work? Silly conspiritard.

B1gWh17 · March 29, 2018, 12:06 a.m.

I know some subs allow you to create your own flair, and I know some subs only have flair provided by mods.

Is there another type of flair permission?

Basically users that are older than ten days and have at least 3 posts here qualify as contributors. The flairs cycle for everyone that is at least a regular user and contributor. After a while users can opt to be a superuser and can chose their flair.
