@franti you make too much sense, that is a form of harrassment!

2018-08-05 15:39:25 UTC  

He's looking good

2018-08-05 15:40:25 UTC  

@Hazzardous OK saying "he said fake news, not the media" - you gotta stop. Trump calls CNN and the Washington Post "Fake News." Yes he is talking about the media.

2018-08-05 15:41:24 UTC  

no, if trump says cnn and washpo are fake news, he's talking about cnn and washpo... don't put words in his mouth, you sound like jim acosta

2018-08-05 15:43:32 UTC  

and if they stopped putting out fake news, he'd probably stop calling them fake news... they've nobody to blame but themselves

2018-08-05 15:44:34 UTC  

This entire conversation is based on the assumption that Trump's audience is not able to understand the nuance of calling the media "the enemy of the people", and interpret that as the large media conglomerates.

2018-08-05 15:48:15 UTC  

trumps audience don't have a problem understanding his nuance... it's trumps adversaries that refuse to understand his nuance so they can clutch their pearls and fake moral outrage, hence the constant fake news.

The media is the enemy

2018-08-05 15:51:21 UTC  

Duh

2018-08-05 15:52:29 UTC  

Show me a mainstream news organization that reports news and does not spin narratives, and i will eat my fucking shoe.

2018-08-05 15:53:00 UTC  

the knife... you want sauce with that shoe?

2018-08-05 15:53:03 UTC  

Well paul

2018-08-05 15:53:06 UTC  

here's the issue

2018-08-05 15:53:16 UTC  

the news has always done that to some degree, it's part of gaining an audience.

2018-08-05 15:53:29 UTC  

Im not saying they have not

2018-08-05 15:53:29 UTC  

And for the most part it hasn't done much harm to the country.

2018-08-05 15:53:39 UTC  

But with the advent of internet news, cable is hemmoraging cash.

2018-08-05 15:53:46 UTC  

So they're having to get more and more extreme

2018-08-05 15:53:58 UTC  

to desperately grasp their audiences

2018-08-05 15:54:38 UTC  

And while I detest what they've become I don't blame them

2018-08-05 15:54:41 UTC  

people gotta eat

2018-08-05 15:54:47 UTC  

and it's easier to do this than reinvent

2018-08-05 15:54:51 UTC  

there is a difference between having some bias but attempting to be objective in reporting, and being an activist who uses the news to create an ends,

2018-08-05 15:54:55 UTC  

^

2018-08-05 15:55:00 UTC  

I'm disgusted at what they've become

2018-08-05 15:55:06 UTC  

outrage media = clicks... clicks = not going bankrupt... so they'll literally lie out their asses for clicks

2018-08-05 15:55:11 UTC  

but I don't blame them beyond it's the easiest thing to do

2018-08-05 15:55:15 UTC  

basically that, hazzard.

2018-08-05 15:55:28 UTC  

Nobody was ahead of this curve.

2018-08-05 15:55:32 UTC  

They thought themselves immortal.

2018-08-05 15:55:35 UTC  

which makes them what?

2018-08-05 15:55:41 UTC  

I just love the apologia on display here

2018-08-05 15:55:55 UTC  

which makes them fake news and the enemy of the people lol

2018-08-05 15:56:00 UTC  

They cannot hide behind "OBJECTIVE REPORTING"

2018-08-05 15:56:13 UTC  

Fake news is the enemy of the people

2018-08-05 15:56:45 UTC  

It denies reality and attempts to create a new one that serves their activist ways

2018-08-05 15:57:26 UTC  

i reject your reality and substitute it with my own!

2018-08-05 15:59:05 UTC  

"far left"

2018-08-05 15:59:10 UTC  

never-trumper becomes supporter
