2,000+ U.S. newspapers, 30,000+ broadcast stations and all the other media outlets are going to implode long before ‘The Nut’.
How did our Great Republican Leaders, such as Reagan and the Bushes, miss the Greatest Enemy of the American people? Perhaps it was fear. These media people are vicious. They have been known to publish exact quotes- and even report on what a Dear Leader is actually doing.
Just because they admit and retract when they are wrong, and have no Executive Immunity from civil and criminal penalties, doesn’t mean they aren’t A Clear and Present Danger to ‘The Nut’ (and oh .. er.. the American people).
The Onion did better than I would have guessed, can Rasmussen be trusted?
“The latest figures include 35% who Strongly Approve of the way Trump is performing and 39% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -4. "
Oh yeah? And who did light the fuse with all his lies and accusations!!! Anyway, the spark will go pfffff when it reaches the barrel… of clean, pure, fresh water! Not the dirty, yucky swamp sludge, from which the orangutan-in-chief seems unable to extricate himself…
A mediocre journalist has personal biases, but doesn’t realize it and reports things as he sees them. A good journalist has personal biases, but works to overcome them and report things as honestly as possible. A bad journalist has personal biases and revels in them, distorting things as much as possible.
Fox and Breitbart are very bad journalists and many of their followers know this. The rest just follow blindly anyone who tells them what they want to hear.
It’d be great if Trump self destructed sooner rather than later. Hopefully there won’t be much collateral damage. The point about the media is valid though. The Press should not be the marketing department for a political party, whether the Left or the Right. MSM/NBC and the New York Times are little better than Fox News and Breitbart these days.
Cultural illiterates fall for the FAKE news from the likes of Breitbart, InfoWars, Drudgeand Limbaugh! Culturally literate folks recognize real news from the Fourth Estate.

You might want to consider that you, Lisa, are considered a member of the press.

Gosh, who owns the media?
What are their goals?
.
They just need to get rid of all them journalist types and get more O’Reillys and Hannitys to ‘report’ the ‘news’.
.
The first amendment will be perfectly intact — and it will be corporate owned.

The Culturally literate seem to be incapable of looking anything up for themselves.
Especailly if there is video of their side saying and doing stuff that they say is fake when reported by a news site they don’t like.
