RE: The "Truth" Of Mainstream Media & Politics In One Shot... (OR, The Misleadingness Of Memes)
Someone asked about this on quora, the first reply was this (from "Archie D'Cruz" fyi)
" the biggest difference here is that the story on the left was written after Donald Trump’s visit to Mexico, and the one on the right was updated after his speech late that evening in Phoenix."
A bit further in his post he said this
"It should be noted that many major newspapers (including the WSJ) regularly publish multiple editions. Some of the publications I have worked at did this because of distances—early editions were destined for areas outside the city, and making the newsstands in time meant pushing one edition to press a couple of hours before the main city edition. At other times, major late-breaking stories would be captured in a third (or fourth and fifth) edition."
So I think this provides a bit more context, otherwise yeah it would look very bad.
Nice job researching it before breaking out the pitchfork.
People need to be careful. Blindly dismissing the media can be just as dangerous as blindly believing it.
Thank you.
Don't think many will notice this though, people just looked at the newspapers and come to a conclusion without looking deeper. OP provides no context but since most people on here already hate msm they automatically agree with it.
edit : he updated his post, kudos to OP
Because getting news out first is more important than getting facts correct
Because facts never change over time and because people NEVER say one thing in the morn and another in the eve. Which was the case here. Many thanks to OP as well for the edit.
great catch.
