Montage: The 10 most mortifying media moments of 2017

[FakeNews]

This was the year American journalism came roaring back, America’s journalists reported (again and again and again). With a new president in office and a whiff of scandal in the air, reporters raced to their battle stations and began pummeling the president, seemingly certain he’d soon be frog-marched into federal prison and they would be celebrated with Pulitzers.

The only problem is that their biggest scoops … were almost always wrong. Over the course of the last year, reporters breathlessly accused Trump of committing impeachable acts, lending assistance to mass shootings, sowing racial discord, and even outright treason. Meanwhile, when Hillary returned to the fray, she was feted with flattery, humorous viral videos, and chardonnay. And that’s just a taste.

Trying to choose the 10 lowest moments was no easy task, but we think the montage above captures the spirit of 2017 in all of its unholy glory.

OF course not. Grabien.Com doesn't shit on the doorsteps of those who feed it.

I looked for Grabien.Com's bona fides but all I found was Deborah Grabien, a fantasy writer with Multiple Sclerosis. Did the site steal her name because she wrote about The Wandering Jew? The site's content seems like typical alt.right bullshit. Yawn.

Maybe Fox News doesn't qualify as American journalism.
