"Quid Pro Quo"

[Adrahil]

It frustrates me that so many of these talking heads have no idea what they are talking about.
A Republican pundit named Sara Flores on MSNBC just claimed that Patrick Kennedy himself said "Quid Pro Quo" in an email. That's flat out FALSE. I read the notes. That is BULLSHIT. A dude CLAIMED that Kennedy offered a deal. Both the FBI AND State say that is incorrect. That in fact they couldn't actually REACH Kennedy, and in fact the FB fucking I dude is the one who mentioned the agent desks.

But it's like our "journalists" just read each others' stories and the actual facts don't matter. Argh!!!

1. Lies give them traction

They are shameless

2. Still flogging this BS on Tamaron Hall / msnbc

Shit, do these idiots have no shame?

3. Because journalism has mostly been left for all of us to accomplish on our own.

As if we're the ones being paid for it and have the time to do all the research on every fucking subject that's going on in the World.

This is why I immediately get turned off whenever I hear exactly this 'he said, she said' kind of faux journalism. THAT'S NOT JOURNALISM! Talking heads should be reprimanded. We deserve better!

4. Seriously... but...

I work full time, I'm going to grade school, and I'm a Dad. Yet, I somehow manage to keep myself informed. It pisses me off.
