Anti-Trump Hysteria and Silliness

Group think is dangerous. I much prefer individualism. Brings a lot more to the table.

Can I get an Amen?!?

There is no better example of group think than Trump's election. It will be the "textbook" example in years to come.

Luther, I keep asking you for facts. You keep providing me with speculation and innuendo. You're not interested in people thinking. You're interested in people agreeing with you. Apparently your guilty of what you keep accusing Trump of because your ego tells you your opinion must be the correct opinion and there's no way anyone else is correct.

Headline on CNN whining about Trump calling them fake news.

Donald Trump just accidentally revealed something very important about his 'fake news' attacks - CNNPolitics

My only takeaway from the article?

Here's the problem: Trump's attacks on the media -- as flawed and dishonest as they are -- are working. More than 4 in 10 people in a Gallup poll earlier this year could not name a single objective news source. Almost eight in 10 (77%) in a Monmouth University poll released last month said TV and print media report "fake news." That's a 14-point bump from the number of people who said the same last year.

The media is not blameless in all of this. As I noted above, we do make mistakes. We have made major strides in transparency but need to do even more to show our work to people. The more open we are about how we do our jobs, the better chance we have of convincing people that our most basic commitment is to getting stories right, not pushing some sort of imagined ideological agenda.

First paragraph is very telling.

Second made me lol

Yep....a large enough GROUP thought she was a sh*tty choice.......

 

[Weezer]

Bottom line.....he's not informed enough to know.

And you are? Damn Luther, your ego is as big as Donald Trump's.

 

[luthervol]

You are living in it my friend - seems you confuse "people thinking" with "people are thinking if they think like me".

Not in the least, but good try. I know a number of "thinkers" with home I disagree and a few "non-thinkers" with whom I do agree.

And you are? Damn Luther, your ego is as big as Donald Trump's.

Well....Looth is in EDUCATION........

 

[#VFL__]

Yeah he just says and does what others think, but are scared to say or do. Kiss silly PC goodbye with Trump

Yeahhhhhh that’s it. It’s called having morals Vol0725. That’s certainly something he kissed goodbye a long time ago.

Of course I'm not informed enough to know. That's why the opinions of traditional allies and others whom I've learned to trust matter.

Knowing what you don't know is often more important than knowing what you do know. That's Trump's downfall.

Traditional allies are going to put what's best for them ahead of what's best for us, so their opinion is far from being unbiased, and thus automatically trustworthy.

You're right. Here's Fox News perfectly demonstrating it.

Fox News blacks out bombshell Michael Cohen revelations during 3 hours of primetime coverage – ThinkProgress

Because it’s not a bombshell. It’s complete BS

 

[TennTom]

I've never argued Fox doesn't slant hard right. I've admitted they do so I think you're barking up the wrong tree. I'm just hoping someday you guys will be willing to admit CNN and MSNBC slant just as hard to the left. Don't worry, I won't hold my breath waiting.

That's not just a slant hard right, it's a journalistic "news" devoid of ethics, standards, impartiality, and objectivity. It would be like CNN and MSNBC not covering the Eric Schneiderman story, which they covered extensively. So no, they don't slant as hard as the TrumPravda Propaganda Channel.

lol:So you think sanctioned Russians and corporations with important decisions coming before the Trump administration clandestinely showering Trump's personal lawyer with millions to shell companies is BS? Keep your head in the sand, Cletus.

Kinda the way many left leaning news outlets treated the Clinton Cash revelations.

There is no shortage of people only hearing what they want to hear.

If it were serious Mueller wuldn't have turned it over to another jurisdiction.

Any person adamantly defending either party has their head in the sand. Just different piles...

Right.

The Clinton emails - bombshell..were nothing
Comey testimoney - BOMBSHELL!! ..were nothing.

Everything is a bombshell because that gets you clicks or viewers..its all about making money, not reporting legite news.

 

[LouderVol]

He is getting points on who's scorecard? Certainly not mine. (we all know the answer) Again - unpresidential.

The collateral damage is massive and will take years to rebuild. I choose to assume Trump doesn't comprehend the collateral damage being done; because if he does, his ultimate motives are as bad as some suspect.

his own scorecard at the least. which is all he cares about.

and probably chalking up a few with anyone who is tired of the slanted media on both sides.

 

[TennTom]

Two Hillary deflections already. LOL

Any time any thing is all about making money, things will be screwed up. Luckily there are people, companies, politicians, news organizations,etc... that maintain some degree of integrity (albeit differing levels). That is why critiquing the degree is imperative and why saying every politician lies, or every news source is biased is a load of BS.

See, I knew you'd never admit it. It's beyond you to accept that your choice news sources share your slant.

he probably did more than kiss it.....
