    Desperate attempts to demonize the messenger because the message conflicts your necessary illusions is an exercise in avoidance and denial.

    Running to the playground crying "NO NO NO" prior to sticking head deep in the sandbox of denial is not an argument for much ;)

    I do not have all the answers. If you would stop engaging in mind bending denial tactics you might have some answers too :)

    Correct, not enough news for me, too much editorializing.

    Reporting on news vs giving your spin on the news are two different things sure. All major news outlets give their own spin to real stories.

    It is not my fault that 9 members of congress (bipartisan), the Defense Intelligence Agency, NY-Times, and a host of other sources and news outlets have claimed that the Obama Admin was involved in arming and supporting Al Qaeda and other Islamist Jihadist groups in Syria.

    Just one example is the bill introduced by Tulsi Gabbard (with 9 other bipartisan signatories)

    https://gabbard.house.gov/news/StopArmingTerrorists

    Your inference that such a bill does not even exist is patent absurdity. You are the one that would have to believe in some grand conspiracy to make such a claim. Then you turn around and try to transfer your grand conspiracy fears on to others.

    Agreed especially if you mean the 24/7 cable news outlets.

    Yes, that's all that I mean and that's all Trump means.

    yes to some extent, but during the day, there are time slots for daily events, but again i tend to watch local and at 6:30 the nightly news. all have too many commercials.

    Thanks for the clarification. Disagreed on Trump. His pattern is to label as "fake news" anything with which he disagrees....usually anything negative about him regardless how factual or obviously true. Trump has been caught in more lies than a bunch of politicians after a raid on a brothel. :)

    Sure, most politicians lie, but it's a matter of degree. There's a "below average amount of lying", "average", "above average amount" and now we have a "Donald Trump level".

    If the 2020 election is "Trump vs The Press", Trump will almost surely win.

    Democrats needs to figure out what their platform is and actually stick to it, attacking Trump and predicting the end of the world isn't going to win ball games.
