Maryland Man Hoax Destroyed Media Credibility

Monday, April 28, 2025

Is there anything more useless than a journalist who deliberately muddles crucial facts? Perhaps a four-cornered wheel? The unwillingness to distinguish between lawful and unlawful immigration " or perhaps the inability to do so, based on political changes to journalistic style guides " seems to have corrupted the media's ability to tell this story at all.

Did that OR rep return from El Salvador after vowing not to do so without the Maryland Man? Yep. And the story has quietly been renditioned to a news 'black site' to die after the media was exposed lying about the 2x wife beater and illegal gang member that they lyingly called 'Maryland Man'.

This is pure bull manure and the poster is a demented dirtbag.

So, there's that...

Fascists talking about "media credibility" are as useful as a screen door on a submarine

"seems to have corrupted the media's ability to tell this story at all."

His story isn't the story.

What the government is doing is the story.

You guys have been trained to follow the actor, not the script.

It's why your policies are resulting in the failure of the Untied States.

Funny, it was right up the moment the Democrats had the rug pulled on them when his history of wife beating, gang membership, and the fact that is actually an El Salvador citizen.

Your lies and obfuscations haven't changed the story. They just add some of that nasty maga seasoning that makes you wanna gag.

It's not the point.

Nope, it was never the story.

Somebody has to be the face of the hundreds of people deported to El Gulago without judicial review.
Just like somebody had to refuse to give up her seat on the bus.
Just like somebody had to break the color line in baseball.

Perhaps if you were able to experience empathy, this part of how stories are told would make sense to you.

#13 | Posted by oneironaut"

They only learned it when the Dems sent the new talking points when "Maryland Man" and "chaos" failed to land with the American people. They sure didn't know or care about it when came to Jan 6 people or even the lawfare against Trump. So, the only 2 options are that 1.) they didn't know what it was, or 2.) they simply didn't care about it until they thought it could score political points and they are being lying hypocrites now.

Media credibility has been near zero for years. This just reinforces a lack of credibility.

#16 | Posted by BellRinger at 2025-04-29 07:46 PM

" Media credibility has been near zero for years."

And yet no one paid as much for lying as Fox News.

Not even close.

And everyone here knows you have THREE TIMES that much credibility! Maybe four!!!

" Media credibility has been near zero for years."

Lower than 21% I take it...
"Democrats far more credible than media, film at 11!"

Well, the Trump lawsuit is still ongoing. So, let's wait and see.

And how many of those had to pay over $780 million for lying?

Nazism is a political philosophy, Just like Marxism or Feudalism or Democracy.

You are correct - they have always been a propaganda outlet for their non-news shows. I think everyone understands that and no one ever though Hannity was non-partisan. The Dems run the same style of shows and claim to be non-partisan - that is the difference. However, what has changed is that in the past, lawfare was not used to shut down the other side. Dominion changed that - and now Trump will do the same through the 60 Minutes lawsuit where they don't have a leg to stand on.

#24 | Posted by ScottS at 2025-04-29 09:23 PM

" lawfare was not used to shut down the other side. Dominion changed that "

What part of Dominion was lawfare?

Folks can scream "the election was stolen", and "there was fraud", all they want.

But as soon as they say "There was fraud ... and it was Dominion", we've got a problem.

Where's the lawfare???

#25 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-04-29 10:35 PM

"Where's the lawfare???
#25 | Posted by Danforth"

Because when the Democrats were saying that electronic voting was insecure and blaming it for their election losses, no one was ever sued for it.

But, like all things now - we have a new standard set by the Democrats. 60 Minutes will be the first casualty of this new normal.

All NRO and Daily Stormer for you?

Anything to avoid acknowledging the obvious.

" Dominion changed that.."

Read the verdict. Fox News changed that.

That's not lawfare, that's LAW.

And sour grapes from the losers, of course.
