What gets me is that every time a news organization puts on 1)one of the president's unredacted tweets, 2)shows a video released by the WH where the president says something really lame brained and offensive and 3) reports on any news that might be against this president, they're labeled 'fake news' by the masses. Nobody had any problem trashing Obama (Fox News and every right wing radio station in the country called him every racist name in the book, if not more); yet little old creampuff can't take criticism of his policies or behavior? How low have we sunk in this country? 1) Then plays Littlefinger's game where they imagine the worst possible interpretation of his words and pretend that it's true. Or they only look at one Tweet in a chain. At any rate, Twitter is perfect for creating your own context for anything somebody says between the character limit and nature of the platform. (Not to mention which tweets they choose to focus on.) 2) When it's a video, the clip is truncated to remove context. Opposition news outlets do this to all politicians and to craft an agenda. 3) Many of the outlets you're defending are doing the same thing that conservative did to Obama. However, because you agree with these outlets and disagree with those, you selectively choose to call out some while defending others. GastroFan posted...

They don't report on only things that make Trump look bad. They report on everything he does. The problem is, he doesn't do anything good. Which by exclusively looking for and focusing on generally manufactured controversies is the kind of perception you build in a gullible audience who doesn't want to do anything more than read headlines and bulletpoints. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:891834369] in Do you bel...
