The week ending 12/9/2017 is one the media would rather forget.
* A reporter for The Washington Post reported that the venue for Trump's Pensacola speech was mostly empty. Of course he did it in a tweet. That's ironic because the media complains constantly about Trump's tweets.
When called out, the reporter, who had already lost one job for faulty reporting, took it down.
* A reporter was suspended after he reported that Trump had directed Michael Flynn to contact the Russians. Oops. Bad reporting. And several other sites copied the report, saying they had "confirmed the report". Yeah. With each other!
* CNN reported that the Trump campaign had been tipped off about hacked DNC emails. Turned out the Trump campaign was fed information AFTER it was already made available to anyone who wanted it. No one was suspended.
There will be more mistakes this week, too, I am sure. As usual, Trump makes them all look like donkeys when he reports directly to the people via Twitter.
Thank God for Twitter. Without it the media would be able to run America the way they want.
Trump is the donkey because he lies all the time on Twitter

As for Trump, he's simply a deluded tool, but actual patriots - not right-wing clowns who wear their patriotism like a cheap cologne - DO care when the president of the united states is a lying, tax-dodging tool bag sexual predator like Trump.
Got source for all that?
See, that's why it does matter that the press has gotten in the habit of making up lies.
FTR, the Washington Compost reporter took a picture of the sparsely attended Pensacola event well before the actual event took place. He then claimed on Twitter that attendance was less than expected. This was a deliberate lie.
The ABC story claimed Trump ordered Flynn to contact Russians during the campaign, but we know now that it was only after the election that these instructions were given. Another deliberate lie.
The false CNN report that Trump, Jr was tipped off about hacked e-mails before, instead of after, they became public, was blamed on a typo (4th vs. 14th).
More lies, and none of these lies have anything to do with being first (as though that were an excuse).
The irony of all this is those who scream media bias tend to get their info from the most biased sources. Those who are not afraid of opposing views will get info from all sources and figure it out on their own.

You conveniently left out when Fox News said one of the Moore accusers forged something and turns out she didn't.
If you are so upset about the media being dishonest, then why are you doing the same thing?
This is way to funny. Trump lies all the time, yet he gets a pass
TRANSLATION: I can't refute the deliberate lies and careful misrepresentations broadcast by the media (the actual topic of the thread). So I'll hastily try to change the subject to "But.... Trump Trump Trump!!!"
