Rather than perform the journalists\u2019 duty of informing the public of news, many of today\u2019s reporters and editors concoct narratives about events that consistently align with the agenda of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>The nation is currently roiled by two major developments. The first is an increase in polarization which deeply divides voters, leaving government unable to find solutions to basic problems.<\/p>\n<p>The second reason is that Americans are losing faith in all institutions, even those in government, is mistrust of media.<\/p>\n<p>Even the military which was once above the political fray is experiencing a decline in public trust. This increases the risk that America will be heading toward another civil war and is more susceptible to foreign adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>This moment of danger is crucial to understanding the significance of the new book about how the media lost its way in the fight against Trump. Veteran investigative journalist Jeff Gerth follows the advice to tell readers what actually happened, rather than just telling them.<\/p>\n<p>His thorough dissection of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cjr.org\/special_report\/trumped-up-press-versus-president-ed-note.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Columbia Journalism Review<\/a> This case study reveals in detail where Big Media, particularly The New York Times, committed serious errors in reporting on the Russian collusion story.<\/p>\n<p>All the major mistakes were made in the same direction, naturally. Many, including the suggestion that Trump and others committed acts of treason have not been corrected, despite being proved false.<\/p>\n<h2>Times\u2019 stubborn resolve<\/h2>\n<p>Gerth wrote that the Gray Lady ignores his repeated questions. <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/05\/09\/steele-dossier-on-trump-shocked-key-source-report\/\">obvious inaccuracies <\/a>With broad statements to the

mountain of exaggerations and mistakes that is so huge, it got me thinking. \u201cScoop,\u201d Evelyn Waugh\u2019s satirical novel about shoddy journalism.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the 1938 book, intense competition for the big story resulted again in sensational claims that were not supported by facts.<\/p>\n<p>Gerth said in an interview that this isn&#8217;t an accident. He also stated that certain people from the Times had been there as early as 2008. \u201cthought this was another Watergate and the paper was again getting beaten by The Washington Post.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>It is not a new subject for him. Many of us have written extensively on the shameful media performance that began during the 2016 campaign, and continues. Now we know that the Trump campaign&#8217;s first coverage was not an isolated incident. The lack of facts and fairness unleashed an insatiable thirst for ideological combat.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly every story in many outlets these days revolves around race, climate, transgenders or some other -ism that demands instant conformity with the far- left\u2019s latest hobby horse. The media are acting as a battering ram against American culture and history, with law enforcement, First Amendment and nuclear families under attack.<\/p>\n<p>Gerth\u2019s work stands out as the definitive account of the origin of this modern nightmare and is uniquely valuable because he builds a brick-by-brick case. It takes a lot of effort to read the multi-part, 26,000-word document, but it is well worth the effort.<\/p>\n<p>His organization and precision allowed him to maintain a steady focus throughout reams upon reams and reams of articles and interviews. They would all be found guilty if this were a trial.<\/p>\n<p>Some of his gems have been published in wider circulation. His interview with Bob Woodward of The Washington Post resurrected Woodward\u2019s forgotten 2017 statement that the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/02\/01\/bob-woodward-says-wapo-reporters-ignored-his-steele-dossier-warnings\/\">infamous Steele dossier<\/a> Was a \u201cgarbage document.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure

with a Russian lawyer. \u201cgotcha\u201d Moment with the Trump family.<br \/>\n<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Scott Eisen\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The meeting was shown as a &#8220;meeting&#8221; for weeks. \u201cgotcha\u201d Moment, but the whole affair turned out to be much ado over very little. But the Times and Pulitzers didn&#8217;t acknowledge the claims.<\/p>\n<p>Gerth interviewed Trump twice. Trump demanded that the Pulitzer board cancel the prize. Gerth sued after it refused.<\/p>\n<p>Gerth points out that the board did disclose it had ordered two more \u201cindependent\u201d Review of the 2018 awards and both were found \u201cno passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes,\u201d These are the awards \u201cstand.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>He also stated that the board didn&#8217;t reveal the names of its reviewers or release any work product other than the conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Media transparency: So much!<\/p>\n<p>The Times was also criticised by the paper&#8217;s staff. As Gerth recounts, then-top editor Dean Baquet was blasted by the paper\u2019s then-public editor, Liz Spayd. Gerth wrote that Spayd in an email to her, said that \u201ccomplained that the Times was operating under different standards at different times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One article she spoke out about was before the election. \u201cdownplayed\u201d Because the paper \u201cdidn\u2019t know whether the allegations held up.\u201d However, she believed that it was possible to win the election. \u201cthe Times produced a steady stream of stories about whether Trump conspired with Russians to win the election without knowing whether the allegation was actually true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The headline of the article was: \u201cTrump Aides Had Contacts With Russian Intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spayd\u2019s point about confusing caveats is accurate. Despite the headline sensation, the story contains the following line: \u201cLaw enforcement officials did not say to what extent the contacts might have been about business\u201d Instead of the election. Another line is: \u201cIt is also unclear whether the conversations had anything to do with Mr. Trump himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All key sources were, naturally, anonymous. However, Jim Comey, the FBI&#8217;s then-head, told a Senate hearing that the story was true. \u201cin the main, it was not true.\u201d Questioned under oath whether it was \u201calmost entirely wrong,\u201d Comey said yes.<\/p>\n<p>Spayd was forced to quit and her job was terminated.<\/p>\n<p>Gerth cites Peter Strzok as another example. He was a former FBI agent and is an anonymous source to the Times. Strzok sent emails that revealed his hatred for Trump and stated that he would not allow him to become president. \u201cWe\u2019ll stop it,\u201d he also turned down an offer to join Mueller\u2019s team. Strzok explained that this was because he had been offered to join Mueller&#8217;s team. \u201cthere\u2019s no big there, there.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a
