NBC News

Yes it does have some editorial comments. But focus on the facts presented in the article.

Before I click, tell me if I'm going to be reading/watching a news report or an editorial? Should be two different things.

it always amazes me how few people understand that you can be dishonest as f*** in how you cover the news without ever presenting a factually inaccurate article. It's amazing really. How is it f****** possible you guys don't understand this

I don't even need to click on it. NBC is a Fake News Organization so of course what they publish is going to be Fake News.

The entire premise from headline down is biased against Trump. It is an editorial, and not news. That's what's wrong with you stupid fricks. You can't differentiate the two.

Baby Jeebus: thank you for the stupidity of the Left. Amen.

It's not always so much the facts that are wrong. It's that supposed "hard news" is presented in a way that is constantly negative towards the right even when they are supposed to be neutral.

They often don't tell the "whole truth and nothing but the truth". They may leave things out, and not present it in the proper context so that it makes the right look bad.

The "hard news" from these media corporations, which is supposed to be neutral, is anything but.

Article is joke and this is why:

quote:

0 are Democratic politicians (0%)


Did the media also point out how bad it was that Obama did not appoint any Republicans in his administration? No they didn't.

All of a sudden, Trump is supposed to include Democrats in his administration?

Indeed, perhaps the best way to describe Trump's first month is with three Cs — conflict, chaos, and constant.

"Chaos" is hyperbole and therefore fake news. A court not siding with him is not a sign if chaos. An appointee being let go because of dishonesty with one of the bosses is not chaos. Someone passing up a job offer because they can't bring in their own people is not chaos. Was the Obama admin in chaos when they had trouble finding a replacement for Hagel?

The reason I point out that word "chaos" is because that's about as far as most people will read. NBC achieves it's goal of trying to shake confidence.

Trump’s First Month Has Been Anything But a ‘Fine-Tuned Machine’


Subjective and not a fact based title.

quote:

The last 24 hours perfectly summed up President Trump's first month in office. In a 77-minute news conference Thursday to voice a series of grievances, Trump declared that his administration was running "like a fine-tuned machine," saying: "I turn on the TV, open the newspapers and I see stories of chaos. Chaos! Yet it is the exact opposite.


That is opinion.

quote:

Indeed, perhaps the best way to describe Trump's first month is with three Cs — conflict, chaos, and constant.


That is subjective perception. FWIW, Trump encourages conflict. Trump is not a goal oriented person. He's a process person (most successful business people are). Most people are goal oriented...which usually leads to failure. Cuck Todd does not get that. Conflicts are part of the process.

I'm not reading anymore. The piece is obviously written for the Democrat base to coddle their confirmation bias.

Well, lets start with the fact that either you or the writer don't know the difference between news and editorial.

That article is not news. It's commentary. It's subjective judgement.

That makes it fake news. Especially when the masses are exposed to these talking points - news factoids painted with an opinion brush - that seem to flow straight from the DNC into the ear and out of the mouths of every left leaning MSM outlet, which are most of them.

I watched the presser yesterday. I thought Trump did well. His style is bombastic and cocky, but he showed more balance and humanity than usual. My impression was that he is learning a bit to be more balanced.

Then I read a chorus of news outlets that tell me how UNHINGED he was.

Well, that's like your opinion, man, and I don't agree. And quit floating that opinion like it's news. I don't need, nor do I want for the media to prechew my food and tell me what it tastes like.

For a minute, I thought you were serious. And then I started reading....Lol at that progressive narrative masquerading as an unbiased account of his first month.
