" according to Spicer, but he is lying and we have an anonymous sources that proves that."

This will be on something like does Trump own a bathrobe. So you are saying that if Trump says something completely bullshite, like a muslim attack was workplace violence, the media should take him at his word and not produce further information?

Then the media should say, according to spicer, XYZ happened. However, according to [insert other reliable source], something different happened.

Usually, you try to get multiple sources saying the same thing. If they don't say the same thing, you report both sides.

Agreed. That's not what the other post said. It said the media has to report the official angle, which is BS.

The only obvious part is that there was no terror attack you claimed happened, and in so claiming you proved my point.

OTOH, given leftist reticence to even mouth the term "Radical Islam", or given attempts to blame a US Ambassador's murder on a video rather than a group of radicalized animals, or to categorize Ft Hood as "workplace violence", how in the world could you assume certain acts of terror were not downplayed?

Here is a WashPo article on the topic: Obama’s disturbing pattern of playing down Islamic terror
See, now you're brining in Obama. Trump's comments concerned the media and European attacks.

Unfortunately I brined in Obama for 8yrs. I'm fully saturated.

Seriously though, your attempt to disconnect Obama and the press is either disingenuous or uninformed. The Obama Administration's continual understatement of Islamic Terror was hugely influential on MSM coverage.
