I have yet to see an MSM "news" report about the Trump admin that isn't either blatantly false or posited upon a false premise. If you have seen any outside of Fox News, please share.

I'm growing weary of sifting through bullshit every time I open a news site. Would love to see a reporter or two who I can subscribe to.


Lol... the fuck are you talking about.

I'm talking about exactly what I said. I haven't found any MSM stories of substance on the Trump admin that don't contain blatantly false information. If you have examples of straightforward and legitimate stories post a couple here for me.

I'm tempted to not reply to such a ridiculous assertion, but fuck it.

Let's just focus on one guy, Michael Flynn.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/09/us/flynn-is-said-to-have-talked-to-russians-about-sanctions-before-trump-took-office.html?action=click&contentCollection=Politics&module=RelatedCoverage&region=Marginalia&pgtype=article
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/justice-department-warned-white-house-that-flynn-could-be-vulnerable-to-russian-blackmail-officials-say/2017/02/13/fc5dab88-f228-11e6-8d72-263470bf0401_story.html?utm_term=.745ee9d9662b

The fake news narrative(pushed by Fox News and the Trump cult) is that the "shadow government" took down poor, innocent Michael Flynn. The truth is reported by serious outlets like NYT and WaPo.

This is the reason Trump has been setting that bait for far lefties this whole time

just because you guys didn't get what you wanted many of you have gone to the dark side and essentially become independent contractors for Trump's memes

I think you're going way too far with your analysis of msm

lol @ this one. I fucking called it on reddit:

Look at the name of the link: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/17/us-makes-formal-apology-britain-white-house-accuses-gchq-wiretapping/

Every MSM outlet in the U.S. was using that exact phrase - "Formal apology" - even though what actually happened is someone wrote that "sources said" someone apologized. There was no official statement from the White House, but everyone ran with the formally apologizes story.

Now if you click that link they have changed the title and stealth edited the entire article. CNN and MSNBC did the same thing.

Also, the accusation of GHCQ to begin with was not made by the White House, but by a journalist. Sean Spicer read a quote from a journalist and someone in the press corps took a clip out of context and spun this grand story of the Trump admin accusing GHCQ of wiretapping and then issuing a formal apology. Makes the administration look like it cant get its shit together, right? That's why it's fucking fake news.

Seriously dumbasses, I hate Trump and want him gone. You are making him stronger with every lie and retraction.

His supporters consider Clinton being ahead in the polls as fake news and those that went off of polls as fake news spreaders

that level of delusion can't exactly be combated with anything other than getting out dems and moderates to vote with a likeable candidate

They aren't making him stronger there are plenty of people to get in the next cycle as long as they don't run Clinton, her daughter, or anyone with the Clinton stench on them

We can't just give Trump, Spicer, and the rest freedom to make allegations and claims of fact by covering it up with "oh but that's just what I heard".
