Most of us didn't vote for him. I know it is what it is -- but that's the truth and no liberal media fed me that.

You are not in the minority. Most people are able to question.

If we truly believed that the MSM was in control of most people --wouldn't have Clinton won because from what I'm told the MSM wanted her and not Trump.

I don't believe the MSM has as much power as others think they do. I just don't.

I think we all have our own opinions and truths and seek out the sources that support it and maybe, in some cases, give us evidence to support our views.

Sadly, I have to disagree with you on that one.

Too many people simply do NOT have the discernment necessary to sniff out the BS - and that is people in all areas of the political spectrum.

I cannot even begin to count how many times I've listened to relatives of mine spout off about how Hillary is a lesbian, or how Obama is actually a woman - or any other such nuttiness. And they're serious. After all, they read it somewhere.

The optics alone on the heels of firing the guy who just asked for more funds to investigate the Russian influence into our election should have made Trump allow the American press in or boot the Russian press out along with them.

Other than the meeting occurring, you mean?

I have come to no conclusions yet as to the truth of what occurred during this meeting, other than it did occur.

So why is everybody screaming and yelling and frothing at the mouth? (By "everybody" I mean the knee-jerk Leftists...)

Is this the first time an American President has held a meeting where the Leftist MSM wasn't present?

Please show me what I said in this thread that leads you to believe I am "screaming and yelling and frothing at the mouth".

Thank you.

Sorry but childish insults don't add anything to this, they just say what sort of person you are. That's it.

Folks, our free press is one of the things that made America great. Trump isn't making us great, he's making us look like a banana republic while people like Volvo driver here cheer him on.

In our country where only Russian press was invited? Pretty sure of it.
