As you know, reporters for the Washington Post broke the story about the first woman who came forward to tell of the sexual misdeeds of Judge Roy Moore. You all know Judge Roy Moore, that find upholder of Family Values and The Bible who has nothing but condemnation for those who do not rise to his definition of morality. His supporters have been trying hard to discredit the Post's reporting and haven't succeeded.
Take a look at this report on how an undercover "sting" agent, apparently working for James O'Keefe's Project Veritas, approached the Post with a bogus tale of an affair with Moore when she was underage. The Post did not fall for it.
I do not think the press in this country — any newspaper, any network — is even close to infallibility. I also believe that every time they get it wrong, the only possible explanation is not bias. Incompetence is also a big factor. So you should have a healthy skepticism about anything you hear or read…and a healthier one for those "too good to be true" stories that tell you just what you want to have be so.
But have even more skepticism for those who tell you that the press is biased and slanted and dishonest, so you shouldn't believe anything they tell you. That seems to be their only line of defense from when real bad, evidence-based stories come out about them. And they're expecting those stories.
