Now surely that doesn't include Fox News.

But that is why Trump supporters lover him so much. Right, Trump lovers?

Right. So, Donald doesn't know that what he says and does publicly is recorded and reported? It's absurd that he has always passed along the idea that others are making him look bad. Just more to the point that he does not function normally.

Again..WHY are some people not GETTING this?? Are they as lame as he or just want to believe whatever he says? Does that entire crowd of followers never stop and think?

And eliminate one of my sources of entertainment? No way man! Lol. Like Ive said, CNN isn't real news. Its a bunch of bitter liberal journalists using the airwaves to express their own personal opinion. On rare occasions, when they do report news, they cherry pick and twist it to fit their agenda.

If you let yourself be manipulated by others so easily, then TV news isn't good for you. CNN isn't responsible for your blood pressure being up.

It wouldn't matter. The MSM has put the same vitriol into attaching ANY Republican candidate. Romney was one of the nicest, most honorable people to every run for president but the media attacked him, lied about his background and lied FOR his opponent on every occasion. They did exactly the same regarding GWB. The lies, distortion and bias of the media are NOT the fault of Trump. It's just that he is the first Republican that can play the same vile, childish games they do-and beat them at it. He beats them at their own game-and it drives them utterly, completely insane.

I'd say that the media has a part of this, as do presidents (current and former) and politicians on both sides of the aisle for fanning the flames. At the end of the day though, the perpetrator is at fault regardless of political party, gender, ethnicity, religion etc

Fake news to Trump is any news that does not favor him. Trump is kind of like a dog. If you want him to behave you must keep praising him, "good boy, good boy." Putin has been playing Trump perfectly. How do you say "good boy, good boy" in russian?
Он хороoший человек, oн хороoший человек. (On khoroshi chelovyeck.) Literally, "he's a good man, he's a good man."

Hey, whaddaya know? I can still remember that language elective that I took in my undergrad degree!

If the media is the root or underlying cause of our most perplexing problems, why are we so unprepared to solve, re-solve, troubleshoot, &/or provide plausible solutions?

A critical/creative thought strategy:

• Identify the problems. — “What’s the real question we’re facing here?”
• Define the context. — “What are the facts & circumstances that frame this problem?”
• Enumerate choices. — “What are our most plausible three or four options?”
• Analyze options. — “What is our best course of action, all things considered?”
• List reasons explicitly. — “Let’s be clear: Why we are making this particular choice?”
• Self-correct. — “Okay, let’s look at it again. What did we miss?”

Answer is......as usual, they've got nothing else.

Accusations of racism, misogyny, homophobia, islamophobia.....etc etc are really the only tools in the Progressive War chest.

A critical/creative strategy/technique can be a way to frame or re-frame a statement or question or issue or ... with the focus on problem-solving.

It's not meant to be a way of 'proving' that indeed "hell is other people".
