BREAKING: Donald Trump was at a ribbon-cutting ceremony today, but there was no audio — because none of the press showed up to cover it due to his bans of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico.
Watching a clip on Newsmax I came across online, they had to cut away and point out that they couldn't understand what Trump was saying because there was no press there to cover it. --Allen Clifton

Fox News Media, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News and CNN responded to the ban in a rare joint statement, saying “the public has a vital interest in receiving accurate, independent information about its government.”

All of this seems to be related to ongoing charges of "Fake News".
I'm sure I'd hate "fake news" if I'd ever heard a definition of it from anybody.
Is it bad news? Inconvenient news? News you don't like? News you don't agree with? News that is not factual? Biased news? Happy news?
If someone could just give me a straight forward definition, gosh, it'd be sooo helpful.
Hopefully they will keep their resolve but I doubt it. The press has a habit of bowing to pressure and I'm sure they will have plenty.
They have established a policy of we don't report the news we bend it to our agenda. I won't miss any of it because it is mostly false news no matter the network.
Bravo for the networks!
Unity can and WILL defeat the fascists in our own country. Just like we defeated them in Europe.
Maybe skud can answer your question, since he labels news as "mostly false news."
I asked AI if what you posted was true, that news is "mostly false news, no matter the network."
Here is the summary:
No, American network and cable news is not mostly "false news" reporting. Independent media watchdogs and quantitative evaluations show that while deep political bias, sensationalism, and a focus on opinion dominate the media landscape, the core news reporting remains anchored to verifiable facts.
The widespread belief that American news is mostly fake stems from a mix of intense political polarization, a blurring of lines between factual news and primetime opinion programming, and public skepticism.
Summary:
While American media is highly sensationalized, commercialized, and politically divided, it is not "fake news". Viewers seeking objective reality generally need to distinguish between straight daytime reporting and evening political commentary, or cross-reference televised reports with traditional print-based wire services like The Associated Press or Reuters.
Also, it helps, skud, to consume foreign news sources such as the BBC, the Irish Times, CBC News, Agence France-Presse (AFP) to name a few.
