(American Thinker) American media have abandoned their primary job of reporting the news. Gone are the days of telling readers and viewers the who what where when and why. Now its telling the audience what to think after filtering the news story through layers of bias and activism. The latest trick is fact-checking President Trump in real time. I dont recall any mainstream news networks fact-checking Barack Obama. In anticipation of Trumps first Oval Office address and immediately following the anti-Trump resistance media went into fact-check mode. There was this CNN headline: Fact-checking Trumps immigration speech. NPR jumped in with FACT CHECK: Trumps Oval Office Pitch for A Border Wall followed by the New York Times: Trumps Speech to the Nation: Fact Checks and Background. And then Politico: Fact check: Trumps speech on border crisis. A CNN crank even encouraged fact-checkers to prepare for Trumps eight-minute speech as they would for a triathlon with proper nutrition and rest.
