The Media has become the ENEMY. They create stories made up of pure lies, or alter stories to fit their Far Left agenda. They can neither be believed, nor trusted anymore. They are also way too powerful.

They constantly spew negativity, hate and lies about President Trump. . . and then criticize him for the same things.

I love when the left tries to argue public policy on the grounds of good science. Like, cap and trade, carbon taxes, and other heavy environmental regulations are A-OK because of global warming. Accepting the climate science behind the Theory of Global Warming is one thing; going along with policy prescriptions that will cost billions of dollars and might not even work, is another.

Plus, the Left loves to criticize Republicans for being anti-science (which I think is more a low-key diss because of religious fervor on the Right, but I digress), but how about the Left being anti-economics? They love to champion concepts like minimum wage, universal health-care, free tuition, and open borders just because it makes them sound like good people while not even considering the economic implications of those ideas.

So wouldn't The Media include Fox News and all the other alt right stations? Or are they the only ones telling the truth about Trump?
