What is frightening is the speed and efficiency that he snowed the most vulnerable of our population- the hard core right.
Weak ... this is your argument... weak.

I just call those people what they are. Imbeciles.

No one had to telll me what is being said. I watch all three networks and I make up my own mind as what is truth and what is propaganda. I think it before anyone tells me to think it... the left is so preposterous , and then I hear the same argument , I know it is the same stupid talking point they were told by MSM to believe . It is an insult to them to repeat some of the crazy fake news and think we are going to actually think this is truth.

Sad day when we have to listen to garbage that they spew as being truth.

Media ratings are all up. They love Trump ever since the Primaries.
Ever hear of any of the following and their war on liberals:

Limbaugh
Beck
Hannity
Drudge
Savage
Coulter
Breitbart
Jones

Fox News promotes an agenda and is a fairly poor news source. It's no different than CNN, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, etc.

They don't count. They're not 'real news'. Only 'real news' is 'fake news'.

That is your opinion. I stopped listening to CNN when they tried to make out Michael Jackson's death equivalent to the Second Coming, and NBC when they tried to make out the 2nd Gulf War like a grand adventure served on a plate of Freedom Fries. The others are just as bad.

If you choose to get your information from these yoyos, then I feel sorry for you.

These are, of course, your interpretations. But just because you put your fingers in your ears when news happens doesn't mean it didn't happen.

OTOH, Trump tells lies which are meant to serve as "news." The latest: yesterday, he spoke about ". . . what's happening last night in Sweden" which has left the Swedish people wondering just what that might be: Sweden to President Trump: What terrorist attack?.

This would be hilarious if it wasn't so dangerous.

Your remark does not prove anything at all. The obvious shock that liberal voters experienced upon Trump's win *is* proof that the media was overwhelmingly and blatantly biased in favor of Clinton. They had liberals convinced Clinton would beat Trump. And Clinton's team actually wanted Trump over other candidates for the Republican ticket, since they figured it would be easiest to beat him. In March 2016, Democratic voters in Arlington VA were encouraged to vote for Trump in the Virginia Republican primary (open primaries). Bet they feel really foolish now. Ah well. Hillary's loss proves that eventually people do reap what they sow.

I left the Democratic party years ago. They became too elitist, extreme and militant with their divisive tactics. Not a Republican either. I am just a person with a healthy amount of skepticism who knows when the news coverage is intentionally leaving out significant facts in the reporting.
