<<The one thing that’s missing from all of your “sources” is a credible source… you know, something like Reuters, Associated Press, NBC, ABC, CBS or FOX.>>
You know, the "credible news sources" you mention told people to go Clown long on Internet stox through the 90's, are still telling people to hold now. They never broke any news on ENRN until the lock was in and J6P was left holding the bag.
<<It would have been a news coup for the first one to break the story>> Why?? What News Coup??? Broadcasters have effective monopoly on nations eyeballs, ears. If a small fry breaks news, the big media just shout it louder and farther. They are the ones that make the real money, whatever they say. They don't give credit unless they are looking to pin the blame on someone in case the story is a risk. Mainstream media will not take risks on stories, true or not.
<<they would have lost all credibility>> By credibility you mean popularity. Those news sources you list are not in the news biz they are in the entertainment biz. Do not expect them to say anything that people don't want to hear.
Also, they are a business, they do not do it for free, they have conflicts of interest, don't expect them to say the truth if that is going to lose them money. They al say the same thing, they all have their segments line up, even their commercials are lined up.
The mainstream media has no credibility because they have a proven record of zero integrity. The same cannot be said of alternate news sources as they have either not proven anything one way or another, or have already proven their integrity. |
