The mainstream media is dying — and they’re really, really angry about it.
American consumers are finding the old mainstream media increasingly untrustworthy, and are ditching the ancient business model in droves.
Should there be any doubt left in your mind that the mainstream media is bought and paid for, look no further than this —
While the corporate media was publishing unfounded and slanderous articles attacking conservative websites as “fake news”, they conveniently ignored the fact that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign was caught actively feeding “fake news” stories to Americans.
That’s according to an email from former Clinton campaign manager John Podesta, revealed by WikiLeaks, in which a top executive of the Clinton Global Initiative brags about directing Comedy Central’s “fake news” satire show, “The Colbert Report”, to run prepackaged stories.
See for yourself —
Here’s why this is dangerous: In 2014, 1-in-10 American adults admitted they get their news primarily from these liberal “fake news” sources, according to Pew Research.
In fact, 11% of all American adults admitted in 2015 they trust “The Colbert Report” and her sister show, “The Daily Show,” the most among any news source.
And among young adults, it’s even worse — almost three-in-ten say that they trusted these two “fake news” satire programs as the most reliable source of political news.
And the Clinton campaign was just caught admitting they manipulate these shows behind the scenes.
So, where’s the outrage about “fake news” being fed entire stories by the Clinton campaign among the mainstream media?
There is none.
The silence is deafening.
And that’s the kind of bias pushing more and more readers to leave.
This isn’t an isolated incident, of course. During the election, Democrat insiders were caught writing the questions for interviews and doing newspaper research for newspapers like The Washington Post. Clinton had CNN insiders secretly working for her campaign to help fabricate debates and spin television appearances, while so-called “fact checkers” were actively fabricating stories.
Simultaneously, during the lead up to the election a “top-down” order was issued by the Clinton campaign to “destroy Trump” at three major networks that, according to Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly.
The major news networks smartly responded, and were caught multiple times lying about Trump supporters – sometimes going as far as to mute their mics. Meanwhile, magazines slandered Trump’s wife, Melania Trump and lied about the president-elect, while celebrities hounded his 10-year-old son.
These weren’t just biased suggestions, either. In at least one instance that we have undeniable proof of, the Clinton campaign scripted in painstaking detail the questions, responses, and timeline of events at a television interview.
Despite their protests, the liberal media can’t avoid the inevitable.
Because of their bias, these huge corporate conglomerate media outlets are dying.
Even the post-election bump in subscriptions to newspapers like The Washington Post and The New York Times won’t save them — the traditional model has been shedding readers for decades.
After years of conservatives loudly complaining about the shameful liberal media bias, they have started fighting back. Readers like you are heading to places like The Horn News, where our opinions aren’t hidden, but instead are proudly on display.
Welcome.
And to the bias, untrustworthy media: Good riddance.
— Stephen Dietrich is the Managing Editor of The Horn News
You can’t cheat an honest person, Newsmedia is not honest
Least we not forget, the rebulican version of killary, house majority leader Paul Ryan. He is stating he will block Trump at every turn. He made nice to get elected leader then he is back at it. He needs to be removed.
Do you think Hillary Clinton and Paul Ryan might be receiving instructions from the same source? Say, CFR?
Texas Gal…, I agree of your comment and I hope Paul Ryan…will not getting any higher position…, but he may not be remove if congress would not let that happen. But I certainly will never vote to support him…, Paul Ryan can KISS MY ASS…..! Ride along Texas gal…semper FI….!
Did Hillary ever get that booger, nasally speaking?
Her talon couldn’t go that deep.
Did she eat it.
I gave up on mainstream media years ago by listening to Mark Levin, online newsmakers who are less biased and read books.
The news media is very very broken they need to divorce the liberals and get back to reporting news not making it
Nor was Walter Winchel.
Shades of Walter Winchel.
I feel like a passenger waiting in a large jet that is parked on the threshold of Trump International Airport. I have been siting here, waiting for take off clearance since the 8th of November 2016 but it has not yet come. Clinton is holding up the flight and the country as she tries to impose here treacherous will on all Americans. The Clinton jet is in the queue but 1,000 planes behind mine and yet she makes more noise than anybody else. I have changed my mind on the election and now hope that Crooked Hillary goes to jail where she belongs. Before this I felt a little sorry for her but should have known what to expect as I am a man and as soon as the tears start falling, us stupid men fold and concede. No more LOCK HER UP as her tears are as false as she is. LOCK HER UP FOR ALL TIME. No presidential candidate has ever had more crimes against their name then HRC. America we can be truly ashamed.
Omg! You are so right on, I couldn’t agree with you more! Now if the rest of America would just wake up, but they have drank too much of Hillary’s kool-aide.
Any media or show that tried to help the corrupt clintons and their team of criminals need to pay the price. Don’t watch the shows, don’t read the papers and complain to the sponsors and advertisers. When the cash and ratings fall the might open their eyes. They are supposed to be independent to give fair and unbiased news not make it up.
I watch OAN (One America News). You will find conservative, accurate reporting, no fake news. They broadcast out of Calif., and I believe it is a country-wide station. Much better than MSM.
OAN, NEWSMAX AND FOX are the three best news networks. CNN (CLINTON NEWS NETWORK), CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC are all the arm of the democRAT party. They do not care about the citizens of this country if they did they would not have elected Obama because if you checked into his back round there is no way he should have been President. He proved that by lecturing the republicans right after he won when he said elections have consequences you lost get in the back of the bus and shut up. He acted more like Putin than a President. He has never apologized for mistakes he did, like being on the wrong side of three racial issues and was wrong on all three he should have apologized to the citizens of this country, the police departments and the citizens of those cities destroyed by gangsters. He immediately went on a apology tour to a lot of our adversaries and bowed to thugs and dished our friends. The news networks should not be given any outlet until they apologized for the fake news, lying news and getting rid of all spouses working for the democrat party. Then they have to prove to the country they are going to report the news without being partisan, until they do the President should avoid them.
I stopped watching the late night Colbert show. I don’t watch Fallon, too. These shows are too far left making them caricatures of themselves.
If your getting your news from the comedy channel there is something seriously wrong with you. I don’t watch any of the late night host. Can’t stand Colbert, Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel because they’re not the least bit funny, I always thought if you were a comedian you had to be funny. I miss Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. They at least made me laugh.
Heck even CNN, ABC, CBS, all of them are comical. They need to switch their times to Saturday mornings with all the rest of the Cartoons.
Sorry, Old1, but I. for one, would like them NOT to open their eyes … the lamestream media needs to shut their eyes forever.
R.I.P.
Lol…RIP those Clinton’s networks!
Hilary-Kilary and her cohearts needsto be in Jail forever
If most Americans would read the book about the Clintons she could not even win an election for DOG CATCHER. They should both be in jail.
If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times, Hillary and the Democratic party are the dirtiest, lowest, bunch of lying Un American, people in this world not just country. Nothing is too disgusting to use if they have to. Why in this world did you Democrats put Hillary as your choice to be President???? Isn’t there anyone who is presidential material in your Party? if Hillary was your best then you are in big Trouble. The legal voters saw right through Hillarys’ lies and criminal acts during her PAID 4 Years as our Sect. Of State.
It is interesting how often the socialists accuse others of what they are doing themselves. Most, if not all the fake news of recent years has originated with the socialists and people like the Clintons and Obama. The media itself has also been guilty of what we may politely call creative reporting.
You are correct, of course. The hypocrisy on the left is astounding!
I have said for at least the last 50 years the media is made up of “arrogant, pompous, egotistical, and lying individuals. They have never changed my mind. I can say this because I was associated with the military radio and television division (AFRTS) for more years than I care to remember both over seas and in the US.
The liberal news media must be punished !!!!
There is jjust one word that describes the democratic party…..Fascist!!! Hitler did it in the thirties and now the democrats are using it in the 21st century….Heil Hillery B***H
Of course she did this! Killary is a bitch! The biggest liar and biggest crook ever to hit politics! She was the most corrupt politician EVER in the history of America! BAR NONE! Thank goodness, she’s finally gone forever!
the hitler Hillary must be put away for good. for 30 years she has been lying and faking everything. imagine, it is belief that even Chelsea is not Bill’s daughter, and if you look real close the similarities there aren’t any to Bill. what it really hurts is that millions of people believed her and were con out of billions of dollars for her gains, just look at Haiti, Saudi-Arabia for starts, the other side also is darker, many people has been murdered on account of her. she must pay for her crimes. justice must prevail and her punishing must be harsh.
Hillary bought an paid for the Media Coverage she got, an she got what she wanted. The Million’s of dollars that she paid for adds, an etc. It back fired on her because she had nothing to offer the American people except Globalization which we weren’t buying nor did we want. Trump offered us a new America to make America Great Again. Trump did get his message out to all Americans for the people, by the people. America lisened, an he did not have to by the press nor spend billions to be heard. The media has cut there own lies, being dishonest an biases toward Donald Trump it backfired in their faces. They will get what they diserve loss of revenue an failure. To Top it all Hillary & Stein are still trying to get rid of the Electroal votes, still causing havoc, doing everything they can to stop Presdient-Elect Donald Trump. Americans will not let this happen. The Media will not tell the truth on all Hillary under handed lies she is still spreading to her supporters. It has to stop, the Media it is now time for them to step up and do what is right for a change. Support our new elected president an let the Clinton’s fade away!!!
Think of the women who cried all night after Election day!
ITS TIME TO SEND THIS STUPID,LOW LIFE, PERVERT, PEDOPHILE, SATAN WORSHIPER TO HELL!! RIGHT NOW!!!
As they say a picture paints a 1000 words – she picked her nose through the election cycle no wonder she lost.
Watch the online movie, “America The Grinding Down” tells the whole story.
Sad, but true, the American Communist party met in Ca in 1963 or so and planned the whole down fall of the USA by doing it from with in.
And the American Communist party got the detailed instructions on how to accomplish that from a wealthy American capitalist in the Waldorf Towers in New York. That is according to ACP Politbureau member Dr Bella Dodd, who personally received the instructions. She reported it to Cleon Skousen, high FBI official. The New York Times determined this was not newsworthy to be published!
Not just communism, but organized crime. Hillary’s only client at the Arkansas law firm, was organized crime— to launder their money!?!? the only to end a relationship with organized crime, is to leave FEET FIRST and she’s still alive!!! that means she is at least a consultant to them!!! Hillary also kept tack of Bill’s sexual relationships, and
when they lasted past 3 sessions, Hillary proceeded to destroy the woman’s credit and reputation!?!?
God will in the end punish her for all that she has done.She will be held accountable for her dead’s. But mean wile she should be held accountable by us ( We the people ) and taken to trial and sent to Prison for ever. Treason is just one of the many counts she has competed. Lying is her biggest crime. That god will judge her on Himself.
Why wait for God to do the work……….. I would just as soon not hear anything about the (Clintons) and or Obamas, Loretta Lynch, John Kerry…. see their pictures or anything until they are cuffed and removed of all their assets and a trial date is set with in two weeks of their arrest after that i would not mind reading or seeing them again…
I would like to know when the California station OAN is being aired. Time please and what station. Could you help. I will also try to get The Horn news paper. Any ideas how I could accomplish this. Where is the Horn published. Might be interesting to read an unbias news report. Good to become more well rounded. Thank you for our help. Please email me. As far as the corrupt government, Well Trump will have his hands full but is anyone can clean house he can. It just saddens me to read of the Pentagons corruption- the military will not be cheated any more. TKS
Did John Podesta send this message on his smart phone from the pedophile pizza parlor by the White House?
the best way to settle this when trump takes office is to put clinton obama and all the democrat party on the mexican border building the wall mexico will be on good terms with us onces again and we will have the wall built
I stopped watching the media years ago and have been getting all my news from youtube news-alternative..and a.m. radio
Adele Arakawa, Denver news channel 9 is correct, the media has become filled with false and fake stories to the point we can’t believe what they report. So she is retiring. I hope she has a good retirement but why has it taken her so long to be so forthcoming? If more media people would be honest maybe we would put them back in the honorable and trust columb.
Boy, so many people want Hillary in jail!
We got to persist in that!

Let’s not just point at Hillary and claim the Democrats are evil. Both parties are creating garbage “Fake” news. In fact, the PizzaGate story is clearly coming from the son of Trumps inner circle. It almost got someone shot at. Now let’s address the Liberal Media Bias. Are the Clinton’s really liberal? Bill Clinton implemented standard republican policies. He deregulated the banks, the telecommunications industry, NAFTA, the Omni bus laws (which have put more people in jail than anywhere else in the world)! And he cut welfare programs. These are not policies for the working classes. No one has been “liberal”. Who does the media support? They did not show Bernie Sanders, he was a liberal. They are right of center corporations who have no interest in educating the public. Certainly not liberal…. Too bad the deregulation of the news industry has created the bad situation we are in today….
To the sycophantic Democrat brown nosing mainstream media:
Your death grip over the hearts and minds of the American people is over. The glow of your hubristic self appointment as arbiters of truth and morality is sinking like the sunset over Europe.
Sorry if the facts get in the way of your truth. Grab a juice box and your blankie and go cry in the corner.
Looks like Santa Claus won’t be filling naughty little Democrat i’ and girls’ stockings with tax dollars this year.
The fact that conservative talk hosts have called the democrats uneducated voters for years is now born out. The persons who get their information from main line media in most cases have no idea what is going on in the real world. Their ideas & opinions were written for them in some political bullpen, & they are then told what to think, & they do. Special interest groups vote for & support sometimes the very party that is suppressing them & holding them back. It would be wonderful if Trump can drain the swamp & clean up Washington a little, then we need to clean up the filthy media that lies, cheats, covers-up, & fails to report the facts.
about the media——————————–ho ho! big money knows toooo well, “when you tell them often enough, long enough–
it will become THE rule.” HITLER knew it toooo!
TO YOU LIB/DEMS————-IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED TO RUN OUR COUNTRY. I SUGGEST TO LOOK UP EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAS DONE TO SUPPORT OUR COUNTRY. I’M WARNING YOU –YOU WOULD FIND MUCH. AND WHAT SHE HAS BEEN DOING LATELY WHICH JUST MIGHT LAND HER IN JAIL DEALING WITH CHILDREN WILL MAKE YOU DISGUSTED.!!!!
The Fly Shit Media is no longer relevant along with the Democrat Party! And they can’t stand it!
I don’t think it was too hard to manipulate most of the major news networks. They were willing accomplices. I discounted anything the national news media after seeing that they served as apologists for the Obama administration. These “journalists” acted like they were on the payroll of the Obama administration and the Hillary rotten Clinton campaign.
I SENT AN EMAIL TO CONGRESS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ABOUT INDICTING HILLARY. PERHAPS IF “WE” AS A NATION BOMBARDED THE DEPARTMANT OF JUSTICE, JUST MAYBE HILLARY WOULD GET HER BUTT IN JAIL….ESPECIALLY SINCE DONALD TRUMP SAID HE WOULDN’T PERSUE IT. I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT HE DIDN’T GO AFTER HER.
Main stream News in not only dishonest they aren’t held accountable, under numerous administration these liars of the airwaves have run wild. I believe it is time that they be held accountable for deceiving the American public and inciting violence. These people should be in court explaining themselves and a lot of them need to be jailed as traitors to this nation, standing against the US Constitution, slander and obstruction of justice just to name a few. When you start jailing them for deliberately misleading the people and fomenting division among American citizens would send a clear message to these hacks and then maybe we would have real journalist.
Stephen-
Well-done, well-sourced, and a stinging rebuttal to any gimmecrat shill who would like nothing better than to deny, ignore, disparage, and distract from the Truth.
May all such share the fates of all liars…along with their daddy, who was a liar and murderer from the Beginning.
But the new “fake news” narrative and their backers’ push to deny readers access to the truth is a danger to be guarded against most strenuously; iirc, the D’OweBama maladministration turned over control of the internet to the United Nations fairly recently – one hopes without the consent Congress, so that Trump can maintain ‘net neutrality immediately via EO instead of turning the internet into a Chinese-style censored and restricted-access propaganda machine. Remember that such plans – to label and eventually eliminate from the marketplace of ideas all those whose opinions are “dangerous” to the PtB – are already in place, and currently being attempted. Many disappointed leftist feebs are already giving ear and credence to such pernicious nonsense as they cry into their beer (or wine) and stuff their faces with brie. Anyone who voted for a known career criminal, perjurer, obstructer of justice, depraved indifference murderer, satanist, probable child-rapist, child-trafficker, and destroyer of evidence GIVES evidence of feeble-mindedness ab initio anyhow.

i have many more, of course. If you’d like me to post some, let me know.
Stephen-
One more thing:
If you wish your website to TRULY be a place where opinions can be freely expressed, you’ll need to hire more people to swiftly handle the “your comment is awaiting moderation” backlog.
Oftentimes, this backlog is not eliminated until the following day, at which time the intended readership will have mostly moved on to the next day’s topics, thus making a mockery of that promise.
Here lately, it seems that the screening software has been “improved” such that it no longer says “Your comment is blocked,” thus granting the determined an opportunity to re-write their post so as to end-around the apparent/possible trigger words. I’m certain that over the last 2 weeks, at least 90% of my posts have received the “awaiting moderation” label. Many have taken such a label to mean “censorship,” and have ended their subscriptions – hardly a way to increase either readership or trust!
Cheat, Lie, and steal. The motto of these to disbarred lawyers called the Clinton’s. They are someplace below devils donuts.
Gave up on Mainstream Media many, many years ago. None of them are reporters. All they do is read from teleprompters, transmitting the wishes of the show’s sponsors or whomever “paid them off”. Lies, Lies and more lies! How many are owned by sorry ass Soros?
Of course, always “awaiting moderation”……..I must be blacklisted!
Who gets to be the czar who gets the power to make the decision what is real news and what is not real. If we have a person in charge of what we can hear that’s what they do in Russia or North Korea or Nazi Germany.
when did we the people decide to have czar instead of cabinet members I wanted to impeach from then on and no one helped George sr.
Like everyone else, I’ve known for a very long time that the media is very dishonest. It took a guy like Trump to expose them, since no one else had the balls to do it. The main stream republicans are nothing but a bunch of spineless jelly bone , cowards that have no place being there. Some worthless scumbag democrat says boo and they jump, cut and run and hide.Trump on the other hand gets right back in their face and calls them for what they are,and that is something they are not used to. And you or anybody else can quote me on that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I quit watching any MSM about four months ago. Now I find out what’s actually happening in the world from Drudge, Breitbart, Horn news, and weather and sports from the Internet. Much less annoying and stressful!
The gall of Hillary never ends to publicly speak of this. Remember how Benghazi was caused because of a Youtube video, and how she was under sniper fire in Bosnia?
I really do not think Hillary can help herself. She has some serious mental problem that makes it impossible for her to ever tell the truth.
Thank God Trump will take office on Jan 20
Let me make clear that the denouncing of “fake news” is all going to be in the mouths of the speakers. The ones who yap the loudest are the ones whose accusations are going to be parroted by the legacy presstitutes. And the truth will be the usual: The claims by these libtards will just be unfounded projections of their own flawed stories. The guilty will never speak the truth about their evils.
