Begnoche is French for 'Fake News'

[XLFD]

Only 'modern corporate journalists' would stage a 'mass editorial protest' to defend the 'fake news' they propagate.

 

Earlier this week it was announced that over 100 US newspapers would run editorials on Thursday August 16 rejecting President Trump's repeated attacks on the press.  The move was orchestrated by the Boston Globe editorial board to denounce Trump's claim that the media is the "enemy of the people".  

Over 300 newspapers eventually joined the effort to denounce "the war against the free press" and it suggested that editorial boards take a stand against Trump's words regardless of their politics.  The Globe's own editorial published the results of a poll that showed 48 percent of Republican voters agreed with the statement: "The news media is the enemy of the American people," with 28 percent disagreeing. 

What these corporate media elites are failing to qualify is that Trump has never berated dedicated journalists printing the undisputed truth in their publications as enemies of the people. Wikipedia acknowledges that On February 17, 2017, President Donald Trump first weighed in on Twitter:  

 
"The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!"

Trump repeated the assertion on February 24 at the Conservative Political Action Conference, saying "A few days ago I called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. They are the enemy of the people."  At a June 25, 2018 rally in South Carolina, Trump singled out journalists as "fake newsers" and again called them "the enemy of the people."  On July 15, 2018 in Helsinki, Finland, Trump tweeted "The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media."

You will notice that Trump never calls anybody other than the "fake news" the enemy of the people, and while it is debatable whether he correctly dubs 'news organizations' and 'journalists' as "fake newsers", it's not debatable that honest-to-goodness 'fake news' is bad. Fake news is defined as a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media.  

Trump is saying each time in different permutations the truism that "Fake news is the enemy of the people"; the Boston Globe and about 300 other newspapers are trying to tell us that 'fake news is not our enemy' by spreading the fake proposition or implication that President Trump has stated that even honest journalism is the enemy of the people.  These editorials with few exceptions are fake news on display, lying about the president saying something he hadn't.

The City of Ludington Daily News (COLDNews), the area's own corporate media, followed along with the silly and backward protest by having their own vapid editorial on August 16 by new editor David Bossick.  He ends the piece with the "fake news" that launched 300 editorials:  "Mr. President, when you tell the world the media is "an enemy of the American people", you've gone too far.  

David, fake news journalists are an enemy of the people, and an enemy of honest journalists that do their diligence in order to report the objective truth.  Next time, report what the president actually said, not what your fellow 'fake news' professionals have reported.  

And our local newspaper thought the attack on the truth needed a couple of editorials just to show that they are firmly entrenched in "fake news" advocacy.  Our readers should know this already just by reading what they do in the paper every other Tuesday, the day after Ludington council meetings, and then reading what we publish here-- along with a video of the meeting and supporting documentation for our 'editorial' outlooks. 

The previous day the COLDNews wasted ink on an opinion piece by previous managing editor Steve Begnoche.  Steve is no stranger to a fabrication if it will provide cover for the local government, advance his career, or advance his point.  The latter is evident in his piece where, like editor Bossick, ignores any of the incidences of Fake News (here's several verified fake news articles by otherwise reputable groups within a month of Trump's inauguration), and ends with the same prevarication Bossick made.  

But had this failed premise and the confused logic therein been the only thing in this column worthy of note, I wouldn't have shared it with you and made your day that much addled.  I include it because Steve Begnoche, true to form, added his own 'fake news' to support his fake premise.  

In the third column Begnoche mentions that in March 2016, he personally attended a rally in Cadillac, and states:  "Trump berated the media.  People jeered and booed the reporters and photographers in the 'pen', it was mostly a harmless exercise in crowd hysterics."  

Remember a narrative made by Hillary Clinton where she claims that she got off a plane in Bosnia under heavy sniper fire, that was debunked by an annoying video unearthed showing none of the sort?  Same deal, here.  Due to the magic of the internet, there exists a video of Trump's full speech at this March 4, 2016 Cadillac rally, where he makes fun of 'Little' Marco Rubio and Lyin' Ted Cruz, but has nary a word about the assembled media.  

Trump's modus operandi at that point in the campaign was to aim arrows at his opponents, not the media who were actually propping his campaign up with their coverage of him.  This is what made me suspicious of "Sloppy Steve" Begnoche and his personal vignette.  Watch the full video, he never once addresses or refers to the media at all.  Begnoche made it all up to advance his proof that relied on a false proposition in the first place.   Fake news is an enemy of the truth and of the people.

The COLDNews seems to be living up to their name.  Giving their loyal drivers and carriers the news that they are immediately fired this weekend.  That move blindsided a bunch of employees who now find themselves without a job, many who probably have periodical financial obligations that need to be met and now have lost their depended-on source of income.  Some may find themselves in default before they can get another job at one of the most difficult times to find one, near the end of the tourist season.  

When I fully verify the facts behind this sorry turn of events, I will report as much.  One wonders why this calculated move by the COLDNews was never related to their faithful employees, probably the most faithful employees they possess, in advance so that they could prepare themselves.

Not too surprising as Begnoche has always been liberal.  In fact, I believe his daughter worked for Governor Granholm.

Congratulations to David Killion, who sought COLDNews editor David Bossick's explanation of why he erroneously reported at the end of his editorial that Donald Trump said "the media is the enemy of the people", when he never has.  Bossick leaves a note at the end, when he can't find any time that Trump actually made such a statement, he mentions a few news agencies that have actually peddled "fake news" which Trump has called out.  Will David Bossick ever admit those three news agencies mentioned haven't actually done 'fake news' stories about Trump?  They have, but he won't; he should be ashamed that he never bothered to use Trump's actual words, and should note that "Fake news"-- whether it be  liberal, conservative, or otherwise-- is an enemy of everybody, and should not be tolerated by a public that looks to the media for information and finds propaganda and provocative lies of prevaricating publishers.   Unfortunately, the editors of the COLDNews have gravitated that way in recent years.

Good points X. The fact that the LDN cannnot even look at this objectively should be a serious wake up call for all of  Ludington areas supporters of the LDN. The local media has shown it's true colors and people should make note of that. It is a shameful display from a biased news agency which does not deserve to be called  member of the free press when they are supporting and  promoting treasonous activity by corrupt goverments both local and nationally.

Bullshit Begnoche.

No where in the Constitution does it proclaim nor is it "encoded" where we proclaim to be that we are a government of the people, by the people and for the people as you stated. Not in the Constitution, not in the Declaration of Independence nor the Bill of Rights.

A little history; 

“The Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People.was first seen in print in 1384.

John Wycliffe wrote this as  the prologue to his translation of the Bible.(Familiar Quotations by John Bartlett, 1951 edition).

Lincoln coined the phrase in  concluding the Gettysburg Address, "--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

But you were correct about some things Begnoche, Sad when a newspaper editor doesn't know the words  First Amendment contains,  Proud when the same editor  mistakenly forges ahead in spite of himself, and Determined in that he will remain ignorant in his beliefs.

Well said David Killion on the editorial page, not so much the other Libtard, as well as my hats off to Willy and Shinblind. If what you read about Begnoche compared to an in-person mtg., you think you know him/it, you'd be quite disgusted and in amazement at the egotism and narcissist this man is.
