Ariall succeeded in convincing both sides of their viewpoint. Trump’s tweeting is a global comedy act. His alternate reality which believes the phrases produced by The Inquirer and Breitbart “News” are true, seals the U.S. as an ally that can’t be trusted, and can so easily be manipulated. Dumping on the legitimate press is as heinous as criticizing the judicial system, both of whom are necessary for checking the integrity of all administrations. Thank you Robert, this is very clever, and sad.
I realize that conspiracy theories are the property and raison d’être of the alt.right, but I get the feeling that libsmasher, retired analyst and hen3ry write for either breitbart or fox and are only interested in spreading lies and hatred.
On a side light, when I upgraded to Windows 10, I found that Microsoft Edge (replacement for IE) opened with news (and “news”) stories which showed which showed the source of these articles. The ones with the most bizarre headlines all seemed to come from fox. Being retired, I had the time to do some investigating and found that rabble-rousing stories from fox only showed up on fox and those sites which referenced fox. I web-searched by headline, by name of individual identified, by event and by location. Articles like, “Man arrested for saluting flag” and that ilk appeared on no other web-site. Then, recently, I found that in a 2010 court case, fox lawyers told the judge that, “there is no rule saying we must tell the truth”, and so we get the stuff spread by the three mentioned above.
So are you reading the news or the “tweets”? Media is striving to put out facts, those Tweets. Those are mostly lies and rants, not “news” certainly not “facts”
