Trump bashes the main stream media because they deserve it. The main stream media are the political propaganda arm of the demorat party.They're the enemy of the people.  Rational people know the main stream media are the enemy of the people. That's the reason media approval ratings hover between 17%-20%. You must be part of that 17-20% who think the MSM are doing a wonderful job. You're outvoted! Rationals 80%+, irrationals 20%-!  President Trump's job approval rating...50%.  IP: Logged |

You have swallowed his bs whole.. despite widespread reporting of his stated reason for slamming the press.. so that believers like yourself won't listen to any criticism of him. There is just a big enough kernel of truth in his lies to hook the willing and the ignorant. Notice that he never attacks those who spread his version.. you know, that he is the best, richest, infallible bully of them all. One needn't think the press are perfect to see through this transparent ruse. Nor that the mainstream media isn't the only distortion out there. http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-attacks-media-to-undermine-ne gative-stories-60-minutes-interview-2018-5 I said, 'You know, this is getting tired. Why are you doing it over and over? It's boring and it's time to end that. You know, you've won ... why do you keep hammering at this?'" Stahl went on. "And he said: 'You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.'" Congratulations. You have willingly relinquished your own eyes and ears to the flim flam man. IP: Logged |

The media used to report facts many years ago (it was called journalism), but now they are biased and listen to any source without verifying, and often it's completely untrue. If it's aligned with their agenda, they go with it unquestioningly even if they suspect it isn't true, because it gets ratings from their fringe viewers whio are frothing at the mouth for information that the world is goimg to end because of President Trump IP: Logged |

The live showing of the NK return of the remains ceremony received 58 seconds on CNN and no mention at all on CNBC. ABC, 24 seconds. CBS, nothing. NBC, nothing. Of course, they are not at all biased.  IP: Logged |

CNN is certainly biased but it is a two way street. Trump belittles his position as President of Americans to call Don lemon the "Dumbest Man n Television", and goes on to insult Lebron James. Obviously just because they are two Black Men who rose up in life through hard work and determination. Mainstream Media never discredited the Central Park 5 after they got a clean chit, but Trump did. And the Birther controversy against Twice Elected President Obama, that was an avalanche of lies from Trump. If MSM lies, they are called out on it by Fact Checkers, and they can even get sued. Has anyone anti-MSM compiled what lies were spewed by MSM ? They honestly covered the Trump Summits, they covered the Wildfires in USA/Europe, they cover all sports events, Thai Cave Rescue etc. MSM covered the Trump Tower Meeting and exposed all those who attended even though Trump Cult was lying from the start about it. What is wrong with reporting the facts? Did not a White Racist mow down an activist in Charleston? Were Tiki Torches not used in a rally of White Supremacists? Did not Trump say there were fine people on the Tiki Torch side as well? Did not Trump lie during the Helsinki Summit and tried to cover it up? Trump withheld details of his secret 2 hour meeting with Putin from his own Head of National Security. Should MSM have not reported that? Yes, bias exists, too much coverage is given to the negative side of Trump/Trump Cult but Trump is feeding them by non-stop lies, bullying and racism. Only Hitler spewed so much hatred against MSM like Trump, and that is very very dangerous for America. IP: Logged |

Hitler didn't ruin the place of the leader of democracies on the world stage. Germany was a provincial state on the world scale, unlike the US who are loosing (and seem to ask for more) their leading role through soft power, leaving them only with military power... That is unfortunate for the whole world, and as a French I don't welcome the news, it is not joyful. Other ways to defend the concept of democracy will have to be developped, in a post colonial and post modern world where some culture question the necessity for them to apply those western ideals, and prefer to argue for a return to or a development of other social norms where things like women rights, gay rights, even vote are dismissed in the name of their freedom to choose their system IP: Logged |

The problem is that they used "unnamed sources," and the information isn't vetted. They don't even try to be unbiased anymore. They are out to get President Trump, and they don't hide that fact. They believe it's their job to tell us all what to think, and President Trump called them out on it.IP: Logged |

As usual, snowflakes melting down over President Trump getting America back on the right course, lining up with the lying, sniveling, political propaganda arm of the demorat party.For the most part, they are contemptible disgraces who no rational person should pay the slightest attention to. These as$clowns think it's their job to tell the rest of us what to think. That's not working out so well for them. What kind of dummy would pay any attention to Crash Dummy intellects who couldn't find their own a$$es with both hands, a searchlight and a map from a Proctologist? But some dummies do. They're that small percentage of the population who never learned to think for themselves. These lamebrained morons are only believed by 17-20%, the irrational Marxist, Communist, Socialist Progressives. Doomed to always be behind the information and learning curve. Even with the proof staring leftists in the face, they continue to defend the political propaganda artists of the Main Stream Media. MSNBC Anchor: "Our Job" Is To "Control Exactly What People Think" Tyler Durden 02/22/2017 During a lively discussion centered on fears that President Trump is "trying to undermine the media," MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski let slip the awesome unspoken truth that the media's "job" is to "actually control exactly what people think." SCARBOROUGH: "Exactly. That is exactly what I hear. What Yamiche said is what I hear from all the Trump supporters that I talk to who were Trump voters and are still Trump supporters. They go, 'Yeah you guys are going crazy. He's doing -- what are you so surprised about? He is doing exactly what he said he is going to do.'" BRZEZINSKI: "Well, I think that the dangerous, you know, edges here are that he is trying to undermine the media and trying to make up his own facts. And it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that, that is our job."  http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-22/msnbc-anchor-admits-our-job-con trol-exactly-what-people-think

Well here is your dream media then. Sourceless source of many of the stories you hold dear. Never mind they have been proven wrong over and over again, like the Rapture Man, they keep adjusting and forging ahead. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/8/1/17253444/qanon-trump-conspiracy-theory-reddit IP: Logged |

Die Hard Trump supporter Scott Adams is against the Q-Anon Group, aligning with the Infowars Group.Interestingly, Pizzagate Evangelist Jack Posobiec has also turned against the Q-Faction of MAGA Cult. And very important admission by Donnie: The Trump Tower meeting DID take place and both Junior + Kushner knowingly met Russians who promised them dirt on the Hillary Clinton Campaign. So Collusion did occur to enter into a "Conspiracy" with a Foreign Power inimical to USA. MSM Faithfully reported all that whereas Trump Campaigners were lying and lying and lying about it. It is up to Mueller to interpret now, he has all the facts, emails, Watsapp Data, SIGINT Data etc of every Russian who spoke to every Trump Campaign member since 2015. NRA did not expect that Russain Spy and Money launderer Butina would get caught nor did Trump expect that his trusted fixer for decades Michael Cohen would have tapes. Overconfidence. IP: Logged |

Trump Jr. long ago admitted to that nothing burger meeting, and it was for opposition research, which is standard operating procedure for an election campaign.IP: Logged |

If memory serves, the don claimed to not know of such a meeting but now he knows all about it. Cat and mouse.------------------ Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

Memory doesn't serve you well. An e-mail of his leaked long ago, and he went public at that time. Real news. Fake news may be saying otherwise. Prior to the e-mail leak, he did say it never happened, but it was such a nothing burger that he gave it no thought.IP: Logged |

Unfortunately the Fifth estate is just as guilty. And I love the way Randall tells Juni she's wrong while admitting she's actually right .. but it doesn't matter because, you know, fake noose! Saw a story today about a woman fured for calling a customer N****r. Her defense? She used the wrong word! Hmmm IP: Logged |

Just read online that a Republican Congressman who was the first to endorse Trump got indicted by FBI for insider trading. Real or Fake News?If true, then Feds might open investigation on Billionaires who sold stocks early, that fell after Trump announced tariffs. That would be the ultimate financial scandal. Meanwhile, this is confirmed news. A Saudi Arabian Government handle threatened to do a 9-11 attack on Canada, then deleted the tweet that made the threat. This means 9-11 was planned and executed by Saudi Government all along. Hope Trump initiates sanctions against Saudi Arabia for the murder of 3000+ Americans. IP: Logged |
