Are innuendos and assumptions a legitimate factor of honest journalism?

It went to crap when the reporters stared thinking of themselves as journalists. A reporter reports the news. A journalist tells you their thoughts as it they have any thoughts or understanding of the situation in the first place. I am of the firm belief that if you are too stupid to get the 700 on your SAT to qualify for an athletic scholarship, then they make you a journalism major.

its because the Alphabet soups are full of BHO appointees who want to Keep their Job If HRC were to Take charge... they are once again grasping at straws... just Like Steins Recounts...

No, they are not honest. But neither is leaking pieces of intelligence to the public for political reasons. Will either side stop this? Doubt it. It works every time.

Normal news should be direct and factual, opinionated news is full of opinions based upon facts supporting such opinion and misinformation news is a mash of it all along with made up portions....with that said the consumer of news wants to be entertained more than they want to recieve "the facts" as they are in many cases it seems. This gives them the excuse as to why they should not use the tools at their disposal and do some poking around.....

Regardless, it all boils down to the Democrats had lots of dirty laundry and were not smart enough not to have it linked to the Internet with lame security. 1st rule in cyber security: don't put your most important data on insecure servers. Duh. If they had not manipulated their own party system to freeze out Sanders, and they didn't communicate in email like the trolls they are, none of those things could have ever came to light regardless of who exposed it. Besides, she lost the election when she insulted half the American population with her elitist comments about people not voting for her being irredeemable. People who worked for her campaign have now come out publicly to admit they watched the polling data among the undecided voters go into a death spiral with those comments. They tried to get her to retract but she would not. She didn't listen to her own husband who told her the same thing. Quit blaming everyone but the candidate for losing the election. Today's journalists are like reality TV. They know they have 6 seconds to gain your attention before you switch to the next channel so they do or say whatever it takes to grab you.

Yea like the same organizations called the anything right in the last 30 years!

CW2 (Join to see) - We responders took your topic seriously. But I've read your words throughout this topic. You didn't really ask a question, you just want to rant. Somehow you became distrusting of all media and all intel. You, sir, are the one that has a problem with bias.

This is a rhetorical question, right?

Chief Sweezy, a whole lot of high level people say CIA has reached these conclusions, and NBC and NYT say they've been told by CIA. The WH says CIA has including this in the PDB and other briefings for a while.

Wash Post and NY Times and the Obama admin all reported that CIA and other agencies have been briefing about the hacking to the president--and certain leading congress critters--throughout the election. The GOP leaders in congress and the senate were briefed, and McConnell told Obama that if the CIA report went public, he would reject it and call it motivated by politics. However, McConnell recently reversed himself. Now both parties, and 40 members of the electoral college, want to see the CIA's evidence. But, however, it's SECRET! So BHO has ordered CIA to make a report that can be investigated.

Today CIA told NBC that they have a "high level of confidence" that Putin personally directed it.
