I have to disagree on that one cammando. I trust him no more than I trusted Obama with giving money and aid to Iran at the end of his term. Neither are trust worthy for any reason.

I did. Still think she should have been prosecuted at least after the election.

 

I don't think it makes either side look good in either case.

Yep. Not everybody is blind to the wrongdoings on their side of the aisle.

Right, they just don't talk about it.

What news stories in the main stream media are completely fake?

 

Is fake news being used by the Trump and the right to discredit any news story they don't like?

 

The problem is the media is throwing things against the wall to see what sticks. I am sure it is going both ways. The Washington Post has had 4 disproven stories in the past week. That is poor journalism. I blame social media and the be first even if you are wrong mentality.

I learned long ago that the people that scream first and scream the loudest, have the most to hide. If people are screaming about somebody else, nobody is looking at what they are doing.

Wouldn't that seem to suggest President Trump has something to hide? Nobody screams louder than our current President IMO.

His screaming is reactionary. He is defending himself and his administration. I should have said those that scream first and the loudest.

Oh, didn't realize there were qualifiers....Carry on.

The media has created a very dangerous situation. They cry wolf every day. In the eventuality the President does do something bad more than half of America is not going to believe them.

Cry wolf is the perfect way to describe it. It's as if we have gone numb to "BREAKING NEWS" because it scrolls across the screen every minute of every day it seems.

This may be true, but let's be real....Half of America wouldn't believe it regardless of what it was or who reported it.

There is truth to this but I also think there is truth to the crying wolf theory. Everday the press has some new "bomb shell" then when we look at the facts there isn't much there. The biggest example is the constant use of the word collusion when there has been zero evidence of such.
