Some of you have bought into trump’s “fake news” bs hook, line and sinker.

Actually, the term was coined by the left-leaning media when they realized that people might realize that they sold them snake-oil for over 18 months. Fortunately for them, they had a Russian Hacking narrative that they could scapegoat on, instead of actually admit their faults.

Be thankful for the free press.

That is precisely the problem. The press has unlimited freedom, they have no accountability, and they work for their own political manipulations. They don’t give a damn about informing the public — as CNN was caught saying, “Trump can’t tell people how to think. This is our job” (I’m paraphrasing, as I don’t have the direct quote at the moment).

Our forefathers knew the press was going to be an important part of keeping a check on our government.

And who watches the watchers?

You think the Blaze, FOX, Breitbart, etc. tell the truth. I think they feed bs and are dangerous.

Now replace those publications with CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, etc. Both are valid and it seems like your common YouTuber or blogger has more journalistic ethic than the mainstream media.

Oh, and when a President hasn’t had but 1 press conference, I believe, I can’t say that I blame the press for taking an opportunity to get a response on all the very, very important issues.

You might remember old movies or fiction novels, dealing with the journalist fight for the facts, digging deeper, walking the street, interviewing people, and trying to follow the evidence? Well, it’s not all fiction, you know. Journalists used to do that.

What are they doing now other than reading the POTUS tweets?

a BBC reporter who made a mistake and wrote a retraction. Pretty professional to me.

Alternatively, a journalist might work to not having to retract every other story. Just a thought.

Seeing as most of their stories nowadays are based on anonymous sources, I can’t really give any of them credit and they don’t seem to give a damn about professionalism.
