    Interesting article from a former conservative talk show host on why the right is so skeptical of mainstream news outlets, and what he, and other conservative talk show hosts, did to foment that skepticism.

    A quote: "We thought we were creating a savvier, more skeptical audience. Instead, we opened the door for President Trump, who found an audience that could be easily misled."

    Great question.

    Apparently the 45.9% MINORITY (of voters who chose to vote) that elected him don't care about something as distracting as "The TRUTH".

    Oh, look: The left is suddenly concerned about our president being a liar! That's precious and I'm glad to see they have finally come out of their comfortable coma after backing a liar in the White House for the last eight years and trying to foist an even bigger liar into office as his successor.

    Trump is what you wind up with when you have no other alternative to the Obama/Clinton progressive madness the nation just went through (and narrowly avoided yet another four years of).

    He is far from perfect but eminently preferable to our slide into a progressive nightmare which is why I voted for him and now we all wait to see how Trump
    will use this golden opportunity to reprioritize our position as a nation of sovereign people and not as part of a global, corporate cabal.

    To all the pygmys riding his back, kicking and screaming, I say you will gradually come to see this nation isn't ready for your safe zones, your transgenderized bathrooms, your open borders or any other bit of social engineering nonsense you happen to think of. Not by a long shot!

    Has the NY Times ever reported on it's own lies, or the lies by other media? Have they reported on the lies of Obama and Clinton? This article quickly zooms in on crowd size but did the Times ever zoom in on keeping one's doctor, plan and saving $2500? Did the Times ever zoom in on Obama's own book saying he was from Kenya or the racist quotes it contained? Did the Times ever take note how Obama and Clinton both conveniently flip flopped on SSM and immigration? Did the Times assign reporters to dig into Podesta's emails like they did with Trump's women accusers?

    Best yet, has the Times ever acknowledged that almost everything Trump has done to date polls with approval numbers over 50%?

    The Times fought Trump during the election and the Times lost, yet they keep hammering him with the possible belief people care. Nothing the Times can do will change the fact that Trump is our president, all they're doing is making a laughing stock out of themselves as they look to see what negative article they can post next that will generate clicks and revenue, because that's all they have.

    "I never had sexual relations with that woman"

    "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"

    "Selma Got Me Born " your parents felt safe enough to have you in
    1961 – Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965.

    "Father Was A Goat Herder" , he was a privileged, well educated
    youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

    "My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian", she does her daily
    Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. According to the
    New York Times: “I am a strong believer of the Islamic faith,” Ms. Obama,
    85, said in a recent interview in Kenya.’ Not to mention, Christianity
    wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

    "My School In Indonesia Was Christian", you were registered as
    Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check
    your own book).

    "Chelsea Clinton was jogging around the World Trade Center on 9/11." Hillary later admitted that Chelsea was actually safely in her Union Square apartment at the time of the attack.

    "Her family was dead broke when they left the White House." They only made $12 MILLION the year after Bill Clinton’s presidency.

    "Benghazi – it was a disgusting video!"

    Neither Bill Clinton or Barrack Obama is President of the United States of America.

    Get over it.

    More HILARIOUS deflection to Obama/Clinton--because Trump's "defenders" have NOTHING else.

    At this point, the Fever Swamp/Trump echo chamber is proving the abject SHALLOWNESS of their argument on a consistent basis.

    Can they defend Trump w/o referencing "But Obama/Clinton"?

    The world awaits.

    Maybe in the future, if they stop with this ridiculous deflection strategy, the opinions of the Trump echo chamber might actually matter to someone other than the fellow travelers in Trump's Snowflake echo chamber.

    So what were those Obama voters who fell for his many lies? ACA lies. Benghazi lies. BLM lies. Systemic racism lies. And on and on.

    Exactly right and as long as he throws red meat and finds scapegoats to blame for all their ills, they will follow him like the Jim Jones followers followed him. His lying is just white noise to them.

    You are my best friend talking that way. The media is all over Trump calling him a liar. I did a politifact on Obama and he lied a lot. So much so, the media should have scorched him for his lying. But they despise Trump. Obama the media liked a hell of a lot.

    See, the whole deal was that the right was claiming to be morally superior to the left - now the claim is, "They did it first, so that makes it OK ...."

    Pure BS. You don't lower your moral standard because of the fifth grade argument that they did it first - pathetic.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And I will tell you the same thing - you don't lower your moral standards because, "the other side did it first ...". That's a childish justification.

    What lie has President Trump told you that impacted your life? Has he done anything that depended on your stupidity as Gruber put it? Did President Trump mislead you into overhauling our healthcare system so it sucks beyond belief and has become unaffordable? Did President Trump tell you he deported billions of people all while shipping thousands of illegals into our country via plane, train and automobile? And beyond anything that President Trump has ever said, has he been secretive and underhanded in the way he dealt with America? Did president Trump lie about the deal with Iran?

    Want me to go on?

    Oh for sure.

    Trump's supporters have most definitely cornered the market on Purple Koolaid.

    Two kinds of "lies": Trump constantly refers to facts in a mistaken context (i.e. his comment about recent riots in Sweden were absolutely right but his dates were off).
    Whereas Obama just plain lied his ass off when he consistently referred to things just not so (i.e. everyone will save $2,500 on Obama Care and be able to keep their favorite doctor...or, I only found just out about Hillary's private email server in the paper, just the same as all of you). Liar!
    Those are consequential big assed lies!

    The media will jump on every Trump lie like a chicken on a bug and they all ignored all but the most blatant Obama lies that they were forced to deal with.
    Trunp is absolutely right about the threat that lying partisan propagandists masquerading as "journalists" represents to this nation.

    Actually, in honor of the birther-in-chief, the Kool-Aid they are being served is orange.
