Words: what do they mean?

This exchange between Washington Post reporter Philip Bump and podcaster Noam Dworman perfectly encapsulates both the bias of the mainstream media and the absolute contempt for everybody who disagrees with their reporting.

Imagine being this obtuse:
Dworman asked, "What do you take from the text message to his adult daughter – Hunter’s text message – ‘I have to give 50% of my income to pop." Bump declared, "I have no idea what that means. I don’t. I have no idea what that means."

The host stammered in disagreement to which the reporter replied, "I know, it’s circumstantial evidence and you prefer that to direct evidence." 

"No, what, what could it mean?" Dworman asked. Bump again passed on it, saying, "I have no idea. I don’t know."
Yeah, would could that possibly mean?  It's a mystery. 

Extra - From Jonathan Turley: "It appears that, if “Democracy dies in darkness,” journalism more often dies in the light of day."

"Study Shows Journalism Is ‘Most Regretted’ College Major As Trust In Corporate Media Sinks"

Despite the drive-by editorializing in the headline, journalism is a regretted college major for the same reason that blacksmithing is a regretted college major. Even in a booming Biden job market, some fields are the exceptions.

Only one corporate media outlet had to pay $787 million for knowingly broadcasting defamatory lies to support a false election narrative. But that's not the kind of mistrust in corporate media that gives you the warm fuzzies, is it?

Not the Bee: “Fox News Media is proud of our 2020 election coverage, which stands in the highest tradition of American journalism, and we will vigorously defend against this baseless lawsuit in court.”
