This is coming from the same network that employs Jim “Look at Me!” Acosta to cover the White House, so take it with a grain of salt if you will.
You know how Twitchy reported that more than 100 newspapers on Thursday, in a “coordinated response” to the president, are going to publish editorials condemning Donald Trump for his anti-press rhetoric? CNN’s Brian Stelter reports that TV stations might be joining in as well.
TV stations may be joining the 135+ papers that are running editorials about Trump's anti-media attacks on Thursday. The @RTDNA, which has 1,200 TV and digital members, just called on its members to participate https://t.co/9EDKLkxrwU

CNN reporter Hadas Gold was on Stelter’s “Reliable Sources” over the weekend and suggested that reporters need to get to people while they’re younger and show them that they’re, as Katy Tur put it, “like firefighters who run into a fire” each and every day.
Talked about this on @ReliableSources – these efforts should be commended – but what will actually move the needle is greater news literacy – starting in school – and more on the ground education campaigns that show how and why reporters do what they do https://t.co/R86eNCw2J7 https://t.co/aNlyXtFITi

How about if … stay with us here … lefty journalism professors started teaching journalism to reporters while they’re still learning their craft rather than molding them into activists?
It amazes me that these people still think the issue with media distrust is with the audience. https://t.co/aoPgo9Fi7b

"We could stop being activists and simply report the news, but we'd rather tell schoolchildren which media outlets they should trust."

Suddenly news outlets coordinating their message is good

It's not "coordination", it's "solidarity".

Their arrogance prevents them from seeing it any other way.

Here's a thought: report who, what, when, when and where and leave your opinions out of it.

Teaching kids to lie and hold an agenda is not the way, Hadas.
You guys don't understand.

Right. It's the entire audience's fault that the MSM sucks at its job. Ok.

You ignorant rubes distrust the media because you don't understand us. Sure, go with that strategy. https://t.co/K0UXKwTDnS

here is a wild and crazy idea, just report the damn news, and stop being a Media Matters puppet.

Maybe stop being Democrat operatives?

How about Reporters get back to using more than one source?
All The President's Men revolves around getting a second source to corroborate.Today's journalists use "a source familiar with the subject's thinking" and other vague insufficient characterizations. https://t.co/ZY4NagMMiC

Thing is (and problem for you), is that there is a lot of news literacy already . That's why millions despise CNN. And when you bring schools into the conversation, you are talking about indoctrination. Not good. Americans are smart enough to see through CNN's constant BS.
