that kind of plays into Scruffy's point. what does the media seek to accomplish? push Trump into a corner so that he actually launches nukes at NK? they're either pushing him to do this or trying to make him look bad for partisan reasons (while still pushing him to do this). that's why Scruffy said what he did. if he media truly cared about the SKs, they'd suck up their pride and praise Trump for how well he's handled this situation GENERALLY. instead, they can't help but attack Trump to promote tehir partisanship which may actually raise tensions into actual war. that's just terrible shite

It is a partisan attempt to catch him in an unwinnable situation merely for partisan purposes.

They want to make Obama's red line comment and abysmal outcome seem more palatable while pushing for one of two outcomes:

1. Weakening of the US and Trump by attacking a "red line" comment, or

2. Pushing him to start a war with massive loss of SK lives, this giving the opportunity to attack Trump and those they view as the opposition.

What is it they are attempting to do? It isn't reporting of the news and no matter the outcome, including an actual positive one, Trump will be demonized.

As I've said many times, I didn't vote for him and I don't like him, but the absolute inability of the progressives, media, and republicans to give any chances to the Trump administration is infuriating and shows signs that the corrupt and partisan mentality is a massive detriment to our country's survival.

agreed

THAT is why i call out the media

it's been corrupted by partisanship and literally coordinates with one of the 2 major political parties

you know who was the biggest loser of this corruption last year? Bernie fricking Sanders. it's very possible Trump gained the most

Your previous comment in this context isn't as inflammatory as some may think.
