Agreed. But it does not change an accurate story into an inaccurate one.

I think Trump probably understands this, but he uses the word “fake” because it appeals to unintelligent people. Again, he is VERY good at marketing.

And I think much the same of you.

You think I am a problem because we see some things differently.

I see you as a problem because you are simply too stupid to be trusted with the franchise.

No that doesn't, but, I'm certain they do what they can to paint him in the worst light to the point that it's practically untrue.

Trump could cure cancer and CNN would find a way to criticize him.

What in the OP would make you assert that Trump has a martyr complex?

I mean, what an odd comment to make as your first response to the thread.

You sure did make it personal awfully fast. Did it make you feel better commenting on my username? I guess you are of the weak minded variety “Libertarian”.

How about those who think they are intelligent, as in a little knowledge is dangerous.

Do you seriously think, CNN is the "most trusted name in news"?



Come on, man.

The 24-hour news cycle dictates that an outlet must not only find stories, but also find stories which will draw eyeballs. 

I would argue (admittedly based on anecdotal observation) that the majority of what CNN churns out towards Trump is negative. "Two scoops" is merely an example. I'm sure if someone wanted to list more, they can.

Not a perfect system, but far better than a governmental control of the media.

When did I state a desire to have governmental control of the press. While I believe that they are the jaundiced, modernized version of the "yellow press" of old, I still feel they can serve a legitimate purpose. That being said, their purpose currently seems to be to foment division through the creation of a misguided (false?) narrative. Only a simpleton would argue against this observation. I am sure someone can post the "4 am" talking points which seem to parrot one another almost verbatim.

I get it...you dislike the persona of President Trump, but mischaracterizing the role of CNN and then playing spin doctor in order to deflect from being (correctly) called out should be beneath you.

I geel that it has pretty much driven their "programming."

Two scoops will forever =

CNN's lack of journalistic integrity imho.

To actually air that bullshite was something decided on in advance. Seemingly it was done to create a negative image of the president. To me, it is a defining example of their TDS.

No.

He cold probably lie about cancer.

And then blame the media for not going along with his lie.

That he could do, pretty skillfully, given his audience.
