In a Nutshell

[vantexan]

Anecdotal evidence is a logical fallacy.
Got anything else?

But you spouting off without backing it up is ok?

 

[vantexan]

Alex Jones being removed must have made quite a dent in your news consumption.

Never watched the guy. Apparently you did.

Simple Google search will show you real wages are down . I thought you were a news junkie?

Is MSM's job and responsibility to cover Trump
-or-
to cover the news and what is happening in the USA and Internationally?

I never watched the Cable News Networks much and never watched MSM Broadcast News before Trump was elected.
When I tried to follow the news after Trump was elected, the MSM wasn't covering anything other than Trump and the occasional disaster.

Like it or not, Trump has made himself the news.

I’ll give you this, they’ve fallen into his trap, so to speak.

So, if you were MSM, how would you handle the Donald?

He lies and lies and lies.

He said he would drain the swamp, but we got Pruitt and Carson and...

I guess my point is, simply covering Trump is to show his duplicity.

What would you do differently?

Then just cover him. Brennan called him a traitor. Keeping his top secret clearance means continuing to act like a CIA employee. That's the law. He's acting like anything but. Just as the MSM criticizes every bit of minutia concerning Trump.

If I made decisions for MSM, I would have them concentrate on facts and tell the news.
People are not stupid like the Dims and the MSM think.
If you provide them the facts, they can make up there own mind.

*He lies and lies and lies.*
So did Obama, and Bush, and Clinton, and Bush, and Reagan, etc.

Me either but I never heard of Bannon or Breitbart either.

I think that’s what’s happening, concentrating on facts and reporting events.

That’s regular coverage.

I don’t, or shouldn’t, have to tell you that the Editorial page is a completely different beast.

Trump is calling all of it fake, mejor problemo.

By the way, of course politicians lie, that wasn’t my point.

Trump lies like a five year old and has his communication team in esoteric yoga postures trying to defend what he said.

Trump lies about things he’s said, things he’s done, things he’s on video doing, and he says, like a five year old with chocolate on his mouth and a broken cookie jar at his feet, that’s FAKE NEWS.

That’s very different from previous Presidents.

As far as you know.
Other Presidents tried to stay out of the news.
We all know what Trump is doing because he is so transparent.

As far as I know what?

The 'MSM' figured out fairly quickly when Obama and Bush were lying, and they weren't trying to be transparent.

We know the transparent lies that Trump tells, because he telegraphs them, and the 'MSM' is calling him on the lies he's told that he thought were transparent, and he calls them FAKE NEWS.

It's just a strategy to delegitimize anyone who simply disagrees with him.

That's some Banana Republic , and I'm not talking about 'bro' shirts and pants.

Whatever ... to me, this says a lot about you.

I'm OK with someone that gives Trump crap because Obama was given so much grieve.
I never believed the Birthers or the people that constantly derided Obama.
I don't believe the Never-Trumpers anymore than I do the Birthers.

I have no respect for people that really believe all the crap about Obama or Trump.
Just stupid goofballs as far as I can determine.

OK, WUT?

I have no respect for people that really believe all the crap about Obama or Trump. Just stupid goofballs as far as I can determine.

OK, what does that have to do with what I posted?

Once again, we're having problems simply agreeing on basic facts.

It's hard to have a conversation when 2+2 has a different outcome for different people.

Well, that depends...
