You and I both know there are no studies available, but in my corner of FB the misinformation memes were clearly skewed in favor of Trump.
The big problem right now is that the people telling us how to fix the problem of turning down the rhetoric -including the President- are the problem.You don't care about truth, you are only concerned with the crazy narrative that dances in your head. You think you are smarter than everyone else and think that you are sitting in some position that your views and your opinions are above reproach and anyone that disagrees with you are ignorant. You are the very part of the problem in this country right now.
I don't agree with the timing of the POTUS tweet and making the statement regarding the media and their shared responsibility of the heated political tensions that are currently taking place. However, while listening to CNN this morning, they respond with that "they only report the news as it happens and 100% truthful in manner." Then, within the next segment of their show, the topic of Trumps personal phone is being discussed and one of those CNN talking heads begins to make comments that the Chinese may possibly have top secret information that only Trump knew and that he has possibly leaked classified intel.
Yeah, no speculation there....only 100% truthful. BS
I'm Facebook friends with a couple of Democratic state representatives here in GA that I know pretty well. It blows my mind some of the stuff that comes across their feeds.You and I both know there are no studies available, but in my corner of FB the misinformation memes were clearly skewed in favor of Trump.
Apples, oranges, and aluminum siding.
1) Trump's tweet is typical. When others write his comments and he reads them, he's fine. When he is alone with his iphone, the real Donald Trump can't help himself. He has to blame the usual boogeymen, one of whom (the media) was the subject of one of the bombs (real or not).
That's just unforgivable. It is classless. It is not Presidential in the slightest. It is truly anti-American because it attacks the very foundation of a free press.
2) The speculation that Trump's phone has been compromised is not coming from the media. See, the media is REPORTING what people n the administration are saying to them about Trump's insistence on using that phone despite specifically being warned against it.
That is a different animal than HRC, where the questions about her email practices as a security threat really arose after the fact. In the case of Trump, he has been told repeatedly that this is happening, and he does not gaf. He likes using that phone, national security be damned.
The media have an absolute obligation to report on all of this.
Trump is, to put it simply, a complete jerk. A loudmouth braggart that can dish it out but can't take it in. He's a clod, a conman. And his ego is so huge his antics are danger to national security. Shame on the GOP for failing to reel him in, instead kowtowing to him.
