I get the snark in your post, but I'm sure you are being truthful whether you realize it or not. It's what we all do.

How would you know? We’ve never had a media paying attention to every word said by a President. They took 8 years off from Jan 2009-Jan 2017.

Everybody has their own agenda and propaganda. Everyone ! Every issue is spinned according to a political belief or organization. Doesn’t matter if you are CNN, CBS News, Fox News, or Rush Limbaugh. They are all spin doctors. If politics consume your appetite then go for it. If you want the truth, find it yourself.

The same could be said about liberals all over twitter, reddit, etc. They are just as bad, if not, worse than Trump. It's my way or the highway with them, which is a ridiculous notion.

I only believe what I read on this board.

I was looking at the YOUTUBE video of Biden's troubles in his first run for President (1988). The media was giving him hell for his BS..You won't see them do that to a democrat these days...

Trump is exactly the same way. All these little accusations both sides makes about the way each other behaves, it's hilarious that y'all just don't want to see everyone is doing the same exact shite. You people are all just willfully ignorant at this point, nobody cares as long as "their side" wins

I only get news from tigerdroppings, and I know the usernames well enough to usually know their slant on the news, and I am familiar enough with the news sources to apply the correct grains of salt to form an opinion.
I'm with you on finding it hard to believe that anyone watches the nightly news and thinks they are just getting the straight story.

I don't disagree with you at all. In fact, I completely agree about that. But it's most certainly more predominant with liberals in my experience. Maybe because I interact with more people people in my age demographic (mid-20s) and they fit that description more often than not.

If I said it once, I said it 1000 times, if it ain't fox news, it might as well be dog dookie as far as I'm concerned. It ain't enough for the liberals to indoctrinate our children at school, no sir. Now they invaded our damn airwaves in this sad attempt to undermind our fine president. They're in for a rude awakening come November, and you can fact check that shite, twatter.

Fox being better than the other cable news networks isn't really saying much. They are all trash from top to bottom. Fox is just slightly less garbo.

I've found the most effective way is to read past the headline. The story usually gives you enough info to google a few other sources and the truth becomes pretty apparent.
Headlines are almost always misleading regardless of the source.

The data suggests , or I should say confirms, otherwise.

I don't really watch the news anymore. I read headlines and occasionally the full article on various sites daily.
I'm not a political junkie by any means though. I have my views and think they are unlikely to change very much at 42.

CNN spent the last four years reporting daily on a story that they knew was BS from the beginning yet had daily breaking news saying all these lies about Trump that they knew were lies
It’s all poison
It’s all poison

Not at all. The majority of Fox is pro-Trump, which I am not. They have a much more diverse cast of people, hosts and guests, than other cable news networks. And their comedy personalities like Gutfeld are much, much more entertaining than the Samantha Bee's of the liberal media world. They also have a much cleaner layout than other networks if you ask me. But of course, they have Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, so that kinda knocks them down a peg. But still better than hosts like Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, etc. List goes on, they are all awful.
