So when is the media lying? When they repeat what Trump says, word for word? Or is it when they report on him not saying he said what he said, word for word?
A time pf when the media is lying is when a news outlet tells half-truths or total lies on something.
No, the New York Times, Washington Post, AP, Reuters, CNN, NBC/MSNBC (Comcast), ABC, CBS, PBS only report hard news, no opinion bleeds through. It is all facts with evidence, and sources that can be named. They are not divisive they are truthful! They do not promote any agenda, nor do they only air stories to advance their agenda. They are right down the middle.

It's called context... it's easy to be factually accurate but present those facts in a way that manipulates the reader/viewer.
I'll never understand why anyone wouldn't understand the media's divisiveness. They have been doing this long before Trump. I know those on the left want to pretend like this didn't exist prior to 2016, but "divide and conquer" has been their mantra for a while.
Not that Trump is a uniting character. He's not. But that doesn't mean that the media is honest or truthful. Two things can be true at once.
I wish we could discuss the media's polarization without relating it to Trump. I think only then can we actually have an honest discussion.
Just to help me understand, can you elucidate on the order of offended I should be based on the following:
- Dreg of Society
- Deplorable
- White Nationalist
- Trumpster
- Trumpkin
- Trump Supporter
- Straight Male
It would help me sort of how triggered y'all are, thanks
Yeah, much less original than:
*******
triggered
soyboy
NPC
"liberal"
"the Dims"
"dummycrats"
ad infinitum, a dozen or so more
Neither side of team-sports like partisan spectrum has a monopoly on stupid name calling.
