Sad to say, I agree with your conclusion. I do not like to watch any of the cable networks after midafternoon because they no longer give out the news, just opinions slanted towards their own agendas...... and some of the shows in the mornings are just as slanted.
When I read articles online, I see the same slants, and most of them lean very liberal, actually progressive in most cases.
At least our local news just tells us what is happening in our area....... but sometimes, when they touch on something national or political, I can see the bias of the network in what they are reading. Sad, very sad.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

The simple life lesson Donald Trump was never taught or failed to learn is … when you hit people they will very likely hit you back, AND they might hit hard.

In the beginning you probably laughed and thought Trump was the one playing hardball … eh?

What if.. you are insane?

Isn't the definition of insanity.. when you believe that everyone else is wrong?
Here's the deal.. there can't be collusion...when there are too many of US colluding!

Lisztomania, apparently they do 'hit back' and they hit hard. That's exactly what's happening and I'm not missing it.

You've got yourself a President who is disrespectful to the Office, mean spirited, stupid and has a big mouth ... not a good combination.

But an English major's dream

It really is that simple

"But what if Trump is right?"

WTF? When you are RIGHT... You shouldn't have to LIE

What if.. what you say is not true....

Well.... then you'd be an insane paranoid LIAR...

Take heart.. it's not so bad... at least you're not schizophrenic!

Oh crap.. there I go assuming again...I keep thinking you're just a "bot'... and, of course, a "bot" is not delusional... they just think we are!

The press has always been the enemy.
They cost the US the war in Vietnam.
If it wasn't for the slanted reporting that gave Americans a skewed and inaccurate picture of what was happening, Westie would have got the resources he needed to achieve complete victory.

Is the news suppose to report Lies.. told by the president.?.

Now.. I guess one could say that lies could be a choice... and if one can turn a truth into a lie.. then of course someone can turn a lie into the truth.. but it doesn't work that way..

I could ask you what truth reported by the news is a lie... but that just won't do.. because you don't know what is the whole truth. You choose the unknown as oppose to the known.. to create the truth that is the LIE

I could discuss a particular issue of Lies told by the President... to no avail.

So let's not discuss the truth told by the news

So let me ask you this......What do you believe .. that Trump says.. that is the TRUTH?...... You get to name anything?

I've been exposed to the American media most of my life.
They may be a leftward tilt by your standards, but not mine.

The US media almost always supports US foreign policy even when it is obviously doing something really stupid.

The best recent example of that was the support for the invasion of Iraq.
The entire justification for it was based on lies, and the media went along anyways, no doubt not to appear unpatriotic.

It's not unpatriotic to criticise your country for doing dumb things.

E.g. I am a veteran of the RCAF. This never stopped me from saying that Canada's combat role in Afghanistan was pointless and damaging to Canadian soldiers.

well it seems to you... that Trump just lies badly...everyone else is much better at it. At least you are admitting he doesn't tell the truth. many who support him thinks he does.. that he doesn't lie..no matter the evidence to the contrary. Trump believes that too..

I don't see the comparison.. I don't think there is such a thing as lying badly..

What I see.. is some lies hides behind a person principles of telling the truth.. disguised,, but falling within that person's parameters.. of what is the truth.. Anyway. that's what I see you do.
Trump to me is totally different... his lies serve his purpose without principles.
Everything he says is a lie...Everything he says is predicated on the principle.. you got to prove it's lie.. before it is a lie. Trump equates lies with the truth..as I previously stated... the truth is impossible to absolutely know.. Trump believes the savior of his Lies is that... a Lie is also impossible to know..

If Trump believes there is no principles in telling the truth.. then. for him there is no principles in telling a lie.. He just doesn't know the difference..

We can talk about all the "other stuff".. but when comes down to it for me..
there is only one thing.. that makes Trump unfit..

The man has No principles...If he doesn't have the principle of knowing the value of the truth.. then you must conclude.... he is void of principles.

Well it depends on whether or not you're looking for a car!

In regards to Hillary and Obama....I have a big leadway in turning a truth to lie..
In Hillary's and Obama's case..... I give you that leadway....Although, I can disagree to a certain extent ... not as to what they say being a truth.. but what they say doesn't conform, to my idea of a lie... there is plenty of leadway between the two..

But Trump is a Lie.. that cannot be Turned into a truth.. with any leadway whatsoever.
In someone's mind a truth can become lie...
But in no sane person.... can a lie become the truth.
Trump obviously lies.. that he and some of his followers want to turn into a truth.
Trump could tell the truth.. and those against him could say it's a lie.... but we are NOT talking about that.

Ask Trump if he lies.. he will say he never lies......
The irony of that answer is that he always lies... so he's going to answer you with a lie..
