It really is a misleading headline. It's something that happened when Obama was in office. The new administrations do it so that they can align and transition accordingly from one administration to the new one and the new administration has to be kept up to speed on what the current happenings and policies are. That's it.

It's been a chuckle here lately seeing people freak about it. But my Facebook timeline has people freaking out that Trump is this evil censoring dictator. Lol
Agreed. I said the same thing much earlier in the thread.

But, people were too busy looking to demonize Trump and be outraged to question this reporting.

Seems it takes about 50 reporters and several days for news outlets to get to the truth today.

That part is not so amusing and its actually kind of frightening how easy it is for the lazy, sloppy, and sometimes downright lying/spinning left leaning press to manipulate the minds of many Americans.

Yeah, it's really bad how much brainwashing this is causing. It's just a standard process, but everyone is like OMG TRUMP IS EVIL GRRRR HES BANNING SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT! People don't realize that things, especially communications, MUST go through a process. That's really it.

All for this- the media doesn't deserve all the freedom they have due to their dishonesty.

Meanwhile as the media chases every shiny object down every rabbit hole like this and bickering over inauguration attendance figures and litigating Trump's "vote fraud" claim, Trump is enacting his agenda so quickly and right under their noses that they can't even catch their breath long enough to comment on it. Either the media is getting played like Yo-Yo Ma's cello, or they're even more incompetent than the dunce they're trying to pin down who looks like Machiavelli by comparison. In either case it's good entertainment watching them chase their tails while Trump sprints right past them.

It's gonna be an interesting 4 to 8 years.

Trump only cares if you pay him. Pay him enough and he'll let you be part of his cabinet. Just pick a position you'd like.

So how much did Sessions pay him? Mattis? Kelley? Pompeo? Zinke? Purdue? Ross? Price? Carson? DeVos? Perry? Chao?

Amounts and credible sources would be great.

With that freedom comes RESPONSIBILITY.

There is a reason why the media has a LOWER approval rating then Congress.

"Meanwhile as the media chases every shiny object down every rabbit hole like this"

Look at how 1 so-called reporter couldn't wait to get his story out about Trump removing the bust of MLK.

He DIDN'T even bother to look behind the door. he just "assumed" the bust was gone.

All he wanted to do was to paint Trump as a racist for removing the bust.

Even IF the bust had been removed it would be all over the news how much of a racist Trump is.

And removing the bust has NOTHING to with being racist.


" and bickering over inauguration attendance figures"

Another loe from the LSM.

I have posted an ACCURATE of the crowd.

The LSM used a photo with NO TIME STAMP, taken BEFORE the parade was even over to paint Trump as "not having many people there".
