Caution999 02/13/18 10:38:36 AM #11:	Let's get to real talk: The media doesn't like the fact that it's 2018. Before, through every single time period, the media had control over what information the people received. Whether that was thru radio or television or newspaper. Now we have Twitter. We have the internet. And they don't like that he can just jump right over them and say what he wants. The media is used to shaping everyone's thoughts the way they want to. We are living in an era where he can do these things. And it's up to the people to decide who or what they want to believe. They have a right to believe the mainstream media and they have the right to believe Trump if they want to. --- "Impossible is just a word to let people feel good about themselves when they quit." - Vyse, Skies of Arcadia <cite>Caution999 posted [p:895999919] in If he coul...
