Louisville Courier Journal education reporter Olivia Krauth took it upon herself to defend the honor of journalists following criticism of a story in which The Atlantic reported anonymous sources claimed Donald Trump called dead soldiers “losers,”
After other media outlets confirm their reporting using their own anonymous sources, it made the Atlantic’s ‘Get Trump’ idiocy that much more moronic.
One question: How do these reporters that swear their anonymous sources confirmed the Atlantic’s story aren’t the same anonymous sources which the Atlantic used to write their fictional story?
Trying to defend what little honor journalists have left, Louisville Courier Journal education reporter Olivia Krauth tweeted “Contrary to popular belief, journalists don’t just make stuff up,”

So, please, by all means, tell me why a journalist would risk ruining their career and tarnishing their industry by making up a source.

Apparently you’ve never heard of Yellow Journalism, or Propaganda, Pravda, or Hearst? Newsflash, pun intended: today there are few or no repercussions for a journalist caught in a lie. Dan Rather is still worshiped as a news god, Brian Williams is back at NBC, etc.

Krauth asked why would a journalist risk lying?
Maybe journalist know they when their own Networks and/or Newspapers blatantly lie, it gives them carte blanche to fabricate any Trump-Hate fiction they desire.
Why would journalist lie? Because their own Networks lie!
CNN: “Trump calls all illegal aliens “Animals”
Hell, CNN doctored a video to make it look like Trump dumped his box of fish food in a Koi fish Pond.
AND CNN STILL HASN’T TAKEN THAT LIE DOWNhttps://t.co/4pPNfJHuCH

That CNN Koi fish story happened in 2017, and despite getting caught panning and zooming the video to fit CNN’s Trump-Hate narrative.
Three years later THEY ARE STILL DOING IT!!!!
During President Trump’s Fox News town hall held in May at the Lincoln Memorial. President Trump stated:
‘Look, I’m a greeted with a hostile press the likes of which no President has ever seen. The closest would be that gentlemen [pointing to the Lincoln statue] right up there they always said nobody got treated worse than Lincoln, I believe I am treated worse.
The Clown News Network selectively edited the footage in order to claim “Trump compared himself To Lincoln”.
