Well with personal experience with the media, I have said many times, It is NOT just what the media says, it is ALSO what they DON'T say.

The media sits on stories that they don't want the info out.

Anyone who keeps an eye on the media should be aware how they very seldom went after Obama and NOW they even report silly things in order to paint a negative narrative of Trump.

If they thought this info would help Trump , they will ignore.

By the same token anything they can say which is negative is spread by MOST of the MSM.

JFK had sexual "relations" with MANY women and they never reported it.
One man's "story" is another man's nonsense, but quite frankly there is more source of news today than ever, regardless what news "story" you wish to hear or read. So where does this leave us?

For me personally (as I've explained before more than a few times), I scan the headline news of many news organizations every morning, local, national and foreign. What I call "triangulating for the truth," and ultimately what are truly the stories worth knowing and absorbing are those that are somewhat universally accepted as news worthy.

The claims about Obama being foreign-born were widely circulated for example. That Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, and over the 8 years that Obama was POTUS, there was simply not the sort of nonsense going on now like Trump's tweets and feud with Schwarzennegger, caught on tape with comments about grabbing women by the *****, Russian engagement causing resignations of significant presidential appointees.

I know Trump supporters have their very own special way of viewing all reported or not reported about Trump, but the difference between Obama and Trump in these regards is very significant, and NOT a result of what the media chooses to be the story or not. Today more than anything, more than anyone, Trump chooses what to make the story of the day, and the media can hardly keep up, just like the rest of America!

What is "unpresidented" or not, presidential or not, story or nonsense, I guess we all have our own biased views about that, but mine is that Trump is personally responsible for at least half the negative reported about him. He brings it on himself, unnecessarily, foolishly, recklessly.

Obama simply did nothing of the sort, and anyone who can't at least see this simple difference, can't see too clearly period. That or what "story" they choose to believe is coming only from Fox News, regardless the truth or news reported by all other news sources here and abroad...

The JFK thing is irrelevant. That was a different time, and if someone had reported it, they would be blackballed. It was a man's world. The politicians were men, the media were men. The women didn't count for much, and if they had said or verified anything, they'd be dismissed as whores anyway.

Hear! Hear!

"Barely able to keep up" describes pretty much all of us these days, media included.

Definitely no need to make up stuff. There's enough innuendoes, accusations, suspicions, admissions, denials, side-track dramas, and red herrings to fill two mysteries and a romance novel.

But what's the real story?

This can't be just a get-richer scheme can it?

What's the end game here for Trump and Bannon and Putin?

What are they planning to accomplish?

And so, he admits he lied.

Spicer: Trump didn't mean wiretapping when he tweeted about wiretapping - CNNPolitics.com

Quote:
(CNN)The White House on Monday walked back key point of President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated allegation that President Barack Obama wiretapped his phones in Trump Tower during the 2016 election.
Namely, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump wasn't referring to wiretapping when he tweeted about wiretapping.

Spin this one, Trumpheads.

Apparently Bozo in Chief realized that he backed himself into an unwinnable corner by lying, and now--here it comes--this is not what he meant. Lol. Stupid Americans--taking Trump seriously again--suckers.

So he didn't mean "wire tap(p)" and he didn't mean "Obama."

Seriously? You can not make this stuff up.

Too late Trump--we were promised an investigation and we want an investigation. We're all going to watch the hearings make you look foolish.
