Maybe 2020 will bring a consensus presidency back in vogue. I hope so.
I think you pro trumpters need to get it one way or the other .....Now CNN is good,like trump they say something good it's great "journalism" but if it says something negative it's "fake news " and lying MSM.


..................remember it's an OPINION Piece.

LOL, It's accurate becuase you want to believe it ,fact, most Americans don't consider him their president but why take out the last paragraph?. Let's not twist things as a media expert says!

Your really an idiot. I was trying to give to some props to CNN for posting an opinion piece that wasn't a total hatchet job. You just want to troll for the sake of trolling.

No not trolling. Not agreeing with you is not trolling. You simply can not understand or grasp the fact trump is bad for this country . Why are you even watching/reading CNN if you believe they are that blatantly anti trump?

You forgot this part of the artical,why? Like I said the trump cult wants what is good for them,fuck the country.


"Trump continues his streak of surprises. First, he won the election, then he proved far better at manipulating the media, setting the issue agenda and exerting executive authority than might have been expected. He has slowly colonized the Republican Party, achieving a growing uniformity of opinion. The fact that all of this "winning" is not reflecting in his opinion polls -- which still put his job approval below 50% -- only demonstrates that for Trump to triumph in his own particular way, he has to alienate a lot of people on the other side of the argument, to divide the country in two and trust that there are enough of his people in the right number of congressional districts, or electoral votes-rich states, to keep him in authority."

He is purposely dividing our own country so he can win. If that isn't fucking over America I don't know what is.

This is a problem Chico, this isn't fake news. But you want to tell us what we're going to say before we say it.

How about "reporter lies, reporter loses job." Keeps the politics out of it, and reports the facts. I guarantee if you posted it that way G1 and Punch wouldn't have a problem with it. As it is now you just call it fake news because you want to incite a reaction.

The problem is he reported fake news to create a false narrative...or the narrative he wanted. Then he resign because he guessed wrong.

Media is dividing the nation for profit and to smear a president who they politically don’t agree with. When you do your job based on these premises then your ethically corrupt.

The problem is you juxtaposed a corrupt individual to represent an entire industry as a whole. I agree most major news agencies have agendas nowadays. But you're lying to yourself if you think there aren't 10 reporters who are pissed off at this hack because their credibility is going to take a hit for working in the same industry as him.

I got one more question for you. When you say "Media is dividing the nation for profit and to smear a president who they politically don't agree with" do you include Fox News in that group?

yes, Faux news...I don't watch it because its biased. BUT I understand why people do....its because the mainstream media are biased, so if your a conservative you go there for news. What would you expect??? Ratings are high.

I don't watch it....And I don't know why people would watch MSNBC or CNN...why would you get your news from a bias/slanted opinion? If you do, I hope at least you watch with an open mind, knowing the false assertions and opinions are likely biased and without proper context...and headlines are sensationalized to divide and reinforce narratives that are made up.

Re: Media Bias

Total aside from the current conversation, but I've noticed that no one seems to identify as a conservative or Republican anymore. They're a Trump supporter.

Just an interesting thing I noticed (at least around here)...

Carry on.

True. I am a republican and there are many republicans who are not trump supporters .I find it interesting that it's the right or the left .To me and it is only my OPINION, trump has transcended the party's he has divided our political system and put it into kayos something our friends in russia and China seem to be enjoying.

The only republican is G1. I identified as a Republican growing up, voted libertarian from 2004 til this last election, and would have voted Libertarian this time if they didn't put a shit show candidate up. I have a strong conservative bent, particularly on foreign policy/role of government type issues, but when it comes to social views I can't identify with the moralistic side of the Republican base.
