Come on, Trumpies, we're waiting. Justify this.
I mean, we know that the "MSM" can't be trusted to be fair. All they do is lie - they know nothing about the alternative truth that only is in Trump's heart (you don't listen to his words!! Come on, now!)

Russian news? Definitely going to spin a positive story for Putty and our Orangeness.

This mantra -- msm isn't fair. When they show a speech, press hearing, etc...we HEAR and SEE -- we don't need the media to tell us what we HEAR and SEE.

You all seem to think we are back to the days of radio and newspaper only where we only knew what we were told. Now we see it all and hear it as it happens. We have acccess to a million perspectives on the same story online and even sometimes on TV...

and you will continue to suggest the mainstream media challenging the administration are misleading us...with WHAT....We hear and see it.

What am I missing?

Are you talking about the panel discussions...that's not news --that's a panel discussion.

If you think people are influenced by that -- that is on the people not on the media.

As for this situation.

Again Trump's media/communications dept. mishandles this terribly. Having the Russians to The White House -- the President should be in control of the message, the media, the moment.

But instead the Russians cover the story as the 'official' press of this meeting.

Not what Americans want....I don't care who you voted for. I cannot believe that you think it is okay to allow Russia media and no American media at all.

At least with the so called American biased media -- we see all of it -- and we know that reporters are free to challenge without fear of death.

This President and his gang are the weirdest. And don't tell me they are unconventional and therefore refreshing -- that's hogwash spin that isn't selling anymore

Anyone check approval ratings lately?

Trump (to the Russian Foreign Minister): Sir, our leader's directive to fire Comey has been carried out. I hope Master Putin is pleased. Now I will be able to carry out his orders without fear of getting caught.

Russian Foreign Minister: Yes, President Putin is very pleased. You have done well, Donald. Here is a list of people who can replace Comey that we've put together for you. You get to pick which one from this list.

Trump: Fantastic, I always like it when you guys let me make some of the decisions. I am very smart, you guys should let me decide more things.

Russian Foreign Minister: Hold on, Donald. (to the Russian journalists): Make sure you write a hit piece on Comey and how astute Donald is for firing him. Make up something about Comey being a liberal commie plotting to overthrow the government and that he went to a sex party with Bill Clinton. You must mention the Clinton and sex or murder; or the dumb Trumpeters will not believe it.

Russian Foreign Minister (To Trump): Ok Donald, listen. I don't know how Stephen Colbert knows about your interaction with our president but we think there is a leak in your administration.

Trump: No, not my administration; I think it's Melenia. She's jealous of Putin.

Russian Foreign Minister (to the Russian journalists): Write something bad about Stephen Colbert, this guys is getting too close to the...

Trump: I can just have the Secret Service knock him off and drop him in the middle of the ocean. they love me, they do anything for me.

Russian Foreign Minister: Brilliant! We can just blame it on Hillary, your dumb supporters will buy it hook, line, and sinker.

Trump: I am so smart. Aren't I smart? I am so special.

Russian Foreign Minister: In a very Olympic way, yes. We hope you stay president for a long, long time; until the day you die. In fact, we are working on a plan to make that happen.....

So you think MASHABLE is a reliable source of information?

Surely you jest!
