Wall Street Journal

Wall Street Journal used to be a New York finance paper, that became another paper. Wall Street Journal used to be a New York finance paper, that became another paper. They have a little better reputation as a centrist paper, but they're still in New York, thus they're kind of hit or miss. Some good reporting, some bad... some stuff to irk both sides. They often provide counter-balance to the NYT or WaPo. But have their misses too. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2019-01-21

FakeNews

🗒️ Note:

FakeNews (Junk News or yellow journalism) is when legitimate stories or facts are suppressed, journalistic standards aren't adhered to, half truths are told, or a narrative spun to where the story becomes misleading or false. Think: manufactured crises, hoaxes, clickbait (sensational teasers/headlines with buried facts), bias or selective fact-checking, anonymous or paid sources, minor stories obscuring more significant news, delaying or ignoring newsworthy events, are all forms of FakeNews. Most retractions or corrections are evidence of shoddy standards and/or editorial bias creating FakeNews.

• Elon Musk/Nicole Brin affair - 💩 Rumor: Musk banged Sergey Brin's wife Nicole, that's why they got a divorce, and Musk and Sergey are at odds. Only Musk denies it, Sergey and Musk were at a party recently and seemed fine, and there was no good confirmation by anyone involved, or reason to think any of the gossip is true.
• Trump Bank Records Subpoenad - Failing to learn of ABC's Flynn fiasco, only a few days earlier, Bloomberg broke a story (based on an anonymous source), that Trump's Deutsche Bank Records were subpoenaed by Mueller: the noose was closing. A few days later, admitted it was Trump, just people he might know. (WSJ had regurgitated the story, and also had to retract).
