Well, sure:
The New York Times,
The Washington Post, smaller newspapers with real investigating zeal, VICE (which is technically Canadian
). Forget I incorrectly said "the media"; what I meant was MOTHERFUCKING TV NEWS, still the main news source for most Unitedstatesians (it
is a word,
Americans), although quickly following printed media's dodo-path as more and more mooks choose Fakebook or just get their shit information from their shit neighbor.
I think one of the best things that could have happened to TV newscasts (and us) was the fact that the BannonTrump hydra declared war on 'em on day one; had Drumpf been shrewd and tried to cosy up to them, they would have fallen for it big time because they're SUCKERS, as proven by the lovely
reception to his speech before Congress (a short-lived good reception, but that's Trump's own fault again). Instead, the attack made them react in a more-or-less combative way like I'd never seen from these jokers... but it's still not near enough. Pretty boy Anderson Cooper
mildly questions Jeffrey Lord's nightly lies. I know Cooper's show and Bill Maher's are not in the same realm, but Maher recently interviewed Lord on
Real Time and in the middle of it told him, "Sir, everyone in Washington says you're a nice guy, but DON'T BULLSHIT ME". [Cue the flameposts from the Bill Maher haters on this board.
] So the real revelations —if they continue, fingers crossed— will keep reaching us through journalists like Glenn Greenwald. Can you imagine a serious whistleblower contacting Wolf fucking Blitzer to make a story public?
