Some of you have bought into trump’s “fake news” bs hook, line and sinker. Have you ever thought of cross-referencing sources, or checking facts or just listening to someone other than those who will say just what you want to hear. I do. And I have had to change my mind. Not an easy thing to do sometimes but a necessity if I want to be open and informed as best I can. Be thankful for the free press. Some are biased, but many are legit and try to do their job well. Just because it’s not what you want to hear or believe, doesn’t mean it’s not the truth. Our forefathers knew the press was going to be an important part of keeping a check on our government. You think the Blaze, FOX, Breitbart, etc. tell the truth. I think they feed bs and are dangerous. I think they dish out half-truths, misinformation and appeal to people’s fears and paranoia. 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. And , how do you know what the press were told before the photo shoot? With Trump’s fear of the press and negative stories, he’s broken some rules that other Presidents followed, like not allowing cameras at daily press conferences. Audio only? Ridiculous. Oh, and the “rude” and “unprofessional” journalist? The only one I can find in research is a BBC reporter who made a mistake and wrote a retraction. Pretty professional to me.
