"No one I know has put out something to intentionally deceive someone" - Don Lemon


Don, do you know the Associated Press? Do you know CBS?

AP: Trump admin considers using 100,000 National Guard troops for immigration raids - CBS News


The shallowness of the mainstream media is ASTOUNDING! From Candyass Don Lemon whining about being called "fake news" to a New York Times editorial by "conservative" Charlie Sykes basically calling each and every single Trump supporter dumb for supporting Trump as opposed to the mainstream media https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/04/o...-is-lying.html


If I'm a journalist in the mainstream media this is how I respond to Donald Trump's comments on #fakenews "I agree that some stories written by my colleagues can be needlessly full of hyperbole and scant on factual details, but I as a journalist WELCOME people of all walks of life to read my work with a critical eye. Hold my feet to the fire, and be sure that my articles are truthful, objective, and as bias free as possible."


But exactly 0 journalists have responded like that, they've kicked and screamed, which tells you what? It tells ME that they have been slanting their stories for a long time, and they want to keep getting away with it. Why should I trust them? Why should I purchase "news" from them? There's no good reason....I listen to what Donald Trump SAYS and I look at what he DOES vs what the media puts out about him, and the media is a funhouse mirror version of Donald Trump, it's ridiculous.

Very good, Lyle. I agree wholeheartedly. Sounds very similar to what I said regarding Spicer and Conway. Something to this effect...

If I'm Spicer this is how I respond to the media's comment that Trump's inauguration crowd was smaller than Obama's.

"While President Trump's crowd may have in fact been smaller than Obama's, it is the opinion of this administration that this is a fact of little or no importance in the context of what this administration intends to do for the benefit of all Americans. Furthermore, it is the opinion of this administration that this type of news coverage and emphasis on facts of little importance that take away from the credibility of the press, and adds to the truth that much of the media seeks to sensationalize, always with a hidden agenda. So we take advantage of this opportunity to encourage the press to reevaluate its methods, and concentrate on reporting the news without bias, again... for the benefit of all Americans. Thank you."


If I'm Conway I say nothing...... just hand in my resignation, admitting I'm totally unfit for the job.

tito you just dont get it, do you?

What is it I just don't get, brock. Help me understand.

Is it that...

Trump and his people can lie, but the media can't?

That Trump and his people are beyond criticism? Their shit don't stink?

That because Trump is a New Yorker like you, he can shit all over the country and it's ok?

That any argument with you is like using a water hose on a burning building while you're pouring gasoline on it from the other side?

That even when the criticism is accompanied with praise... you only see the criticism?



Tell me brock... I'm "dying" to know.

What EXACTLY is it that I "just don't get"?

[brocktonblockbust]

You don't get that you've been brainwashed by the last 8 or 12 years of the mainstream media brainwashing of the people that you have to pick apart every little single word for example the Trump says and magnify that like it is exemplary of his overarching plans and policies. People want to say all boo hoo hoo boo hoo he said something about sweet and had an attack but there was no actual attack in Sweden oh boo hoo. There were plenty of attacks in Sweden buddy but just because there was not one at that particular moment or he got the date wrong or something everybody wants to say that it was a lie. And that therefore all of his policies are lies or based on lies. You are not seeing the forest for the trees and that is exactly what the mainstream media wants you to do. I think that is what you just don't get. It does not matter here or there or anywhere if Donald Trump says Sweden when in fact it was Belgium or if he says Belgium when in fact it was Sweden or whatever the hell if he says he had the most electoral votes since Ronald Reagan and it turns out that there was another president in between who had more whatever that is just simply not important. It is irrelevant. It cannot be used deductively or inductive lead to extrapolate anything about his policies or his character or his presidency. It is not the same thing as the mainstream media out and fabricate a story based on false sources and knows that the fault is our source or false and yet go ahead with the story anyway in a coordinated effort by the global Elite mainstream media which I am now calling fake stream media to try to completely take down a president. You are comparing apples and oranges but the mainstream media wants you to think that is the same thing. That is what I think you don't get.

Here's what brockton is alluding to Tito.....

1. Listen to Trump, really listen closely to what he says and do this completely objectively
2. Read and Listen to the media cover his comments
3. Compare and contrast your feelings after 1. and 2....is one side a bit more crazy that the other? Typically it ends up that way.
4. Be aware, that Trump does 'tweak' the media, he'll say something innocent in a manner that will drive the media nuts.....the fact he opined on how he could be viewed so positively if only he'd attack that Russian ship sitting off our coast and said "but I'm not going to do that because it's not right for the American people"....that is the most logical, well reasoned, and unselfish line of thought I've ever heard ANY politician speak and what do we get from the media? 'Trump is secret friends with Putin' and 'Russia hacked the election' and 'Russia helped Trump win the election'.....Trump isn't an idiot, Putin isn't an idiot, so even if that WAS the case they'd pull some bullshit wag the dog armed conflict just to show 'Hey, we don't like each other'......Trump is out there saying I could take us to war with Russia and be a hero in the media OR I could attempt to make peace and be seen as some tyrant in the media....it's nonsensical the media is acting this way.


It's quite simple. The media is ASTOUNDINGLY out to get Donald Trump, I mean it would be hilarious if it wasn't true! The media want us to have a war with Russia....just think about that for a second and think about how ludicrous that is. We'd all be dead, all of us, the Earth would cease having life on it.....and the media is WELCOMING it.




But hey, you're going to get your message from who you like....I listen to Trump, I listen closely to what he says, I listen to some other people both rational and irrational and I compare and contrast the two.
