That's what I see. And he does it with zero factual details or specific refuting. I'd give anything for them to call a press conference and refute 'fake news' point for point if it's so very rampant. It's his wide brush security blanket and mantra. And the irony is...he's all over the 'fake news' yelling it into every bright camera that airs his every word. The media is not there nor is it their job to be a Government officials lap dog, water fetcher or sammich maker. CNN, FOX, MSNBC and more so the printed press etc have all taken turns smacking around Presidents since pen was put to paper. One day it's Trumps hair or an interview HE sat down for with Time that gave them the dumb Ice cream dribble and yesterday it was what color Obamas suit or curtains were. Btw that guy in your screen shot Chris Lizzigaa did an interview last month with the director of the US immigration policy program pointing out the history of Operation Streamline and it's run through Bush, Obama and now Trump. Trust NO one network or outlet with eye candy scrolls and catch phrases but we cannot pretend actual news is not there. It's on us to research them and draw our conclusion. Sometimes it's like fishing for your wedding band that fell into a shat filled toilet but the days of straight line lone newsman are long gone.
OK then I guess just dismiss the "petty nonsense pieces" altogether then, I don't know what I was thinking providing glaring examples of actual fake news. There is of course OTHER fake news which is a bit more in depth in some cases and subtle in others....but by all means just wave a hand and shoo the blatant fake news aside because after all it's just "petty nonsense pieces" and they don't establish any kind of pattern or help support a narrative that the media is pushing, oh heavens no. :shakehead:

Oh really? Then what the fuck were they doing pre-invasion of Iraq and from 1/20/2007 to 1/20/2017? Or does the media just not get to be held accountable for ANYTHING?
