Is that a joke? How about the UVA gang-rape (on broken glass, no less) hoax? The Duke lacrosse bit? The Donald Sterling tape? A dozen other things I can cite, at any level you care to name. The MSM engages in violations of privacy and outright false "reporting" with gay abandon. Only a fool would argue otherwise.
I'd like to say I'm surprised you think so, but...
Do you consider the UVA thing to be a product of the MSM? Why? I don't consider Rolling Stone to be part of "the MSM", or any other definition of the media.
The Duke Lacrosse issue did not originate in the media. It was covered, for good or ill, by the entire press corps, but it was not a media product. Is there a point there?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
