    On average. Of course.

    Also they responsibly retracted the article after newly updated information was received. So I'm not seeing the bias.

    Again, Gallup revealed that only 6% trust the MSM. You are in denial of the obvious - Trump remains far more trusted than the corrupt bipartisan political class and its MSM.

    “Democrats tried attacking Donald Trump as unfit for the presidency. They’ve made the case that he’s ineffective, pointing to his failure to sign a single major piece of legislation into law after eight months in the job. They’ve argued that Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself and that his campaign was in cahoots with Russia.
    None of it is working.”
    POLITICO, WHITE HOUSE, Teflon Don confounds Democrats
    Democrats have attacked the president every which way, but polling and focus groups show none of it's working., By EDWARD-ISAAC DOVERE 09/13/2017.

    "None of it is working" because 94% of Americans no longer trust the MSM, and because everyone has figured out just how crooked the political class really is.

    The "fact checkers" are no more reliable than the crooked bipartisan political class and its MSM.

    “But it undermines its own credibility when it purports to resolve subjective disputes of political opinion under the guise of objective expertise. That’s precisely what it did yesterday in this incredibly sloppy and often factually false analysis of Ron Paul’s condemnation of the new AUMF and detention authorities embedded in the pending Levin/McCain bill. What matters here more than PolitiFact‘s obvious, specific errors is the reason they were led to such error: namely, reliance on supposedly neutral, ideology-free “experts” who are anything but that.” SALON, PolitiFact and the scam of neutral expertise, GLENN GREENWALD, DEC 5, 2011.

    Nothing you stated refuted my claims. I know the media isn't trusted. But Trump is trusted even less.

    https://www.rjionline.org/reporthtml.html
    http://www.newsweek.com/trump-feud-cnn-fake-news-donald-trump-631786

    We keep going in this circle, so unless you can directly refute that data we don't have much to discuss.

    I will factually state Trump is less trusted than the media and has a 37-38% approval rating, in any thread were it is applicable.

    "Those who know the truth when they hear it..." that is textbook confirmation bias. You hear what you want to hear, and refuse to hear that which you don't like. THAT my friend is the real danger. The "truth" you hear is based in your hatred for the left, not in what was said....

    Trump has always been teflon for his supporters. His supporters don't hold him to the same standard they hold the left, hell, they don't hold him to any standard. But thats not because of their support for Trump, it's more for their hatred of the left. That is no more prevalent than the Russia investigation. You refuse to see all the lies that have been told by Trump and his inner circle, instead you keep focusing on HIllary Clinton, who by the way is no longer relevant in ANY conversation. And for those who claim to be so smart, they cant see the misdirection at work.

    I love how every news outlet is "left wing", and the only "bastion of truth" is Fox News. Thanks for proving my point

    Wear a diaper. You'll better catch what you create. The rest of your post was your usual vacuous nonsense.

    First, I'm not your friend. Second, you identify a trait of everyone. Third: the wise understand when the media is bullshtting and farting out propaganda.

    That component of society voted Trump in. We're sick of the leftshit.

    Refuse? No, I consider each event. What you say about it; what the media says about it; what Trump actually says.

    You repeatedly make mountains of molehills and regularly mischaracterize events and statements. That doesn't mean that Trump is running the table. Far from it.

    I didn't make either one of those statements, which means - as usual - that confirmation bias you were blarting about is something you're doing. Not me.

    Investigate thoroughly what the MSM has claimed Trump said. Look at each source independently. You will be surprised at what you find if you take the time.

    So you think it's great and what the Public Broadcast Airwaves should be used for?

    We have to like
    Except that they have been caught lying repeatedly and not covering big stories that help Trump and hurt Democrats.

    He wasn't in my Top 5. You can't stay on topic when it is revealed that your coveted press is just a propaganda arm for Leftists.

    I still cannot get over the fact that you admitted that your anointed one is a liar. Outstanding on your part! There is hope yet.

    It's clear just who is misrepresenting the truth. It's the transactional journalists who publish leaks in exchange for access and writing the "news stories" tailored to the agenda of the leakers. The lies you attribute to Trump are examples of this.

    When only 6% still trust the MSM Trump is obviously far more trusted than the MSM - even using your math.

    There are a lot of blacks who don't agree with where the Left is taking them as well.

    Statistically about 5% of blacks fit that description. It's a small enough of a percentage that we can still safely conclude every black person we see is a left-wing Democrat.

    They've perhaps begun to wonder about their waning political influence. Tom Perez, not Ellison chosen to chair the DNC was maybe an eye opener. What about the looming prospects of amnesty for illegals? Hispanic voters have almost eclipsed the black vote already. Marginalization again?
