72 Million More Reasons To Doubt The Mainstream Press - Investors.com:
"Media Malfeasance:
In less than two weeks, bombshell stories of a vicious gang rape and a millionaire teen investor were exposed as frauds that never would have made it into print but for gross negligence and liberal bias.
Over the weekend, Jessica Pressler, a "star reporter" at New York magazine, told the story of an underage teen who'd already made $72 million trading stocks on his lunch break.
It was part of a series on why people should love the city.
The story spread like wildfire, showing up in the New York Post, Marketwatch, the New York Daily News, Fox News and others.
And why not?
New York magazine occupies one of the top rungs on the media elite ladder.
Surely it would never publish a piece that hadn't been thoroughly fact-checked and edited.
Turns out the $72 million-kid story had gone through those steps.
The magazine even sent a fact-checker to the 17-year-old's home to view a bank statement.
Plus, Pressler's tale fit comfortably with how liberals view Wall Street — as little more than a lottery where someone can "score" millions by "playing" the market.
So why bother being skeptical of the kid's tale?
But the story was, in fact, a complete hoax.
The teen in question, Mohammed Islam, apparently was a member of an investing club at his high school, but he had never put a dime of actual money into the market.
.....Meanwhile, the
University of Virginia gang rape story continues to unravel, exposing new depths of laziness, recklessness and bias at Rolling Stone.
It's now clear that there were so many holes in "Jackie's" rape claims that anyone who'd done the minimum of unbiased reporting would have dismissed her as not credible and moved on.
But Jackie's story supported the current liberal belief that sexual assaults are rampant on college campuses.
So why doubt her?
In New York magazine's defense, it did quickly and fully own up to its mistake.
"We were duped," it told readers.
Now if only the mainstream press could be as upfront about its biased, agenda-driven reporting, which repeatedly misleads and misinforms the public."
"In light of the news regarding the release of Alan Gross and America’s re-opening of diplomatic relations with Cuba, we thought it useful to provide some insight into what life has been like under the Communist Castro regime in the decades since the island’s 1959 revolution.

It's working so well that one entire year into its full implementation, insurers feel compelled to extend yet another alleged deadline because the so-called 'back end' of the program's website is still a hot mess.

BOSTON -- A divided federal appeals court on Tuesday overturned a ruling ordering Massachusetts prison officials to provide taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery for an inmate convicted of murder.
Do you remember a time when the president of the United States, actually loved his country? Well, there’s a loaded question. There is a debate as to whether our Pres-a-king is or isn’t a natural born American citizen. I feel there is enough of a reasonable doubt for an investigation. There should have been a thorough investigation long before he was sworn into office. The press should have jumped on this like the pit bulls they once were. However, putting that issue aside, let’s say he is a natural born citizen. Why does he hate his home land, the freest nation in the world? Why does he seek to destroy everything which has made this country great?
