My wife had CNN on yesterday and I just started laughing. I had been saying it for years, but all proven now.

Always be skeptical of mass media outlets who pander to selected political and social leanings. All of them. Todays 'media' is not out Grandfathers media. Skeptical to mean cross reference your sources, read and do research on what you disagree with and never eeeeeever buy into political affiliations with mute meek unshaken allegiance.
I believe we can just label everything on TV/other media Fake News and be done with it. That's the lazy way out.
I believe we need to scrutinize and try and separate the wheat from the chaff.
Some TV talking heads are so biased you can practically see the spittle flying when they're talking about Trump. Shame they still have jobs in supposedly reputable networks.
At some point this will have to come to a head and get resolved, because unfortunately we all don't own time-warp vehicles, where we can project ourselves into where news is being made so we can come to our own conclusions.
For now we'll just have to use our own super-powers of discernment.
My man tits, when the former CIA Director comes on a major network and numerous times says there are mountains of evidence to prove collusion. When the head of the FBI releases info to the media for his own agenda to manipulate the press. When the NYT has to make retraction over retraction it is fake manufactured bullshit that we have been fed for two years straight. Was it a mistake or a lie. Either way it was all fake. The term fake news is dismissed primarily by the same media organizations that deficated this out. They are saying the same thing you are saying. Sorry my man tits but fake news is exactly what it is. If you wish to call it something else go ahead but that which is not real is fake. I can’t make it anymore clear.
Fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake. I’m pissed as I had to listen to this fake ass shit for two years. People say trump is thin skinned etc bullshit he dealt with this fake fake fake onslaught for two years without having the CIA whack a few people. I would have sent a seal team into CNN
Fake called by any other name is still just as fake
Out of the thousands of articles written about the Russia investigation only a handful have been proved wrong and it's been the media outlets who published them who came out and retracted them. There's nobody publishing intentionally fake news. To take one incident for example, the Trump tower meeting with the Russians. First this was angrily denied by the Trump people and Trump Junior in particular. Fake news, witch hunt etc. Their story changed three times in three days and eventually the NYT told Trump Junior they has emails proving his having taken part. They asked him for comment, he told them to hang on for an hour and then he published the emails himself on twitter and congratulated himself for histransparency. We later learned that trump senior had dictated the very first angry denial, telling an outright lie to the American public.
There has been a tremendous amount of accurate reporting on the Russia investigation that has been proved by events. We still have to wait for the report to become public in one way or another to find out the extent of the whole thing but by then unfortunately it'll be old news and nobody will care. Still, seventeen ongoing investigations into regular everyday crimes that the public can understand are all down to evidence Mueller produced and then passed off to other FBI offices to investigate. This is a guy who robbed his own charity ffs and has been banned from running a charity again along with his kids. There's a lot more to come eventually.
If there are more investigations to come then I guess we're in for the same BS we've been subjected to for two years. In some ways one Presidential term isn't really a long time when you think about it. It's pretty obvious Trump will not be impeached. If there was something "impeachable" against Trump, the Dems and media would've dragged it out already and it would be over with.
To me it's a combination of the Dems intense dislike for Trump, which ironically has kept them from concentrating on the important issues. The battle seems to be who can defeat Trump in 2020 rather than who is the best candidate period. The other half of the coin is Trump himself, incredibly divisive and cunningly using this divisiveness to his advantage. So we have Trump and his enemies alternating between offense and defense, with the Mueller report being the political equivalent of a missed 3-point shot. Still.... with their insistence on having the whole report made public, they're hoping for that offensive rebound and put back for at least 2 points.
What could be four years of sustainable growth and progress, not only economically, but socially and other areas like immigration control, the environment, energy and the infrastructure.... has devolved into a 3-ring circus where the Dems have lost sight of the country's needs as they try with all their might to take Trump down. Trump meanwhile revels in the battle, playing defense and switching to offense..... he lives for this kind of shit.
I've never seen a POTUS where the opposite sides are so frustratingly extreme and unyielding in their viewpoints. It's comical and tragic at the same time. Bottom line is few useful things get done what with all the backbiting, attacking, defending, countless investigations, etc.
What we'll probably see is Trump's opposition FINALLY find something on Trump they can use..... just in time for the next election. What a sham.
