Trump just loves himself, and will say anything to support this. He just dont like the media for not see him as a winner he thinks he is.

While Trump is correct on that, the way he addresses that and various sociopolitical issues covered in MSM arenot helping as they often add fuel to the fire.

You cannot deny they're not making this stuff up though. It sh** happens on a daily basis. They cover it. The end.

Clearly this is going to start to take the economy soon as people start to believe that real estate is not going to sell and put plans to buy on hold.

This needs to stop. A small elite in the media is controlling and shaping reality. That is terrifying.
What's also terrifying is that a small elite period is controlling the country. And I don't mean that in a political sense either.

I don't buy into the idea that there is a conspiracy involved, and in some regions the numbers really do support a slowdown. Does this mean the sky is falling? Of course not, but it is an economic story that deserves coverage because it is of interest to many. It's not fake news! And some of us with money in the bank might actually consider buying in a slowdown. My spouse and I are currently considering it.

I don’t watch Fox because I can’t stand Trump, but it’s likely no more biased than CNN and MSNBC, which I do watch.

He's given and accepts no blame at all.
Which comments? Name them, please. I watch every speech the President gives and I haven't seen him say anything hateful or vitriolic.

of course the media is the problem way before Trump got into politics. They just got worse since Trump won.


Remember the media over blowing cop shootings of black people and how they reported the Mike Brown case and many other cases pushing an agenda and with many lies. CNN and MSNBC were the worst.

The Main-stream Media lies, and here's how they do it.

They never report good news coming from "Red" states, well known conservative individuals or organizations.
They deliberately will exclude good news stories that highlight conservatives, Republicans, the NRA or any other organization they deem to be the "enemy". Any chance the media gets to make conservatives or Christians look bad, look like fools, that event, that "story" that "News" gets PLENTY of coverage. It's an automatic procedure, tried and true.

Any disaster and tragedy that can be massaged, leveraged or "white-washed" to better fit their narrative gets PLENTY of press.

Look for example how they were hoping for a Hurricane Katrina type disaster after the most recent hurricanes made land fall in Florida. Didn't pan out. They were not able to make use of the story, wave the "bloody shirt" and get political capital from all of it. There simply weren't enough deaths. Now how sick is that? If the news had been worse, they'd have leveraged that to the "N"th degree to smear anyone and anything they don't like. It would have been the Presidents fault. It would have been the fault of "climate change" deniers and doubters. It would have been the fault of de-regulation and the energy industries. It would have been the fault of some enemy of theirs, like "why didn't the republican Governor DO MORE?" etc. If the hurricane falls on a Democrats turf, make it the Republican President's fault, or the Republican controlled congress, but always make it someone else's fault.

Any mass shooting plays well to the liberal media (is this not redundant actually?). The first question they postulate is the "race" of the shooter, the weapon used and the voting patterns of the suspect. Why? It all fits their preconceived narrative. Make EVERYTHING POLITICAL!!! And, use ALL bad news to sway votes, gain traction, belittle the enemy in public and beat down the opposition where ever possible.

It's got to the point now where ANYONE with a brain simply doesn't believe a single thing that come from the Main-Stream-Media's mouthes any longer. It's the "boy who cried wolf". It's all lies, half-truths, manipulation, lies by omission or pure and simple total fabrication. Its not news any longer it's opinion and lies.

Any good news that comes from the left gets highlighted, lots of press and plenty of attention. When the left screws up, it's systematic "not-newsworthy" censorship, cover-up and denial. They bury the story by simply not covering it, making light of it, belittling, humiliating and denigrating anyone that dares have the chutzpah to bring attention to it. The "black-block" mutant professional hired protesters tear the town up, very little press, and what little there is, is RATIONALIZED as JUSTIFIED "rage against the machine" or some other utterly ridiculous self-serving nonsense.

This is the HUGE blessing of the web, the internet, of cell phones with cameras and video capabilities.
The main-stream media has LOST control the the "battle-space" the playing field. Regular people, who are there, see the events first hand, and know better can post, online, for the entire world to see, the other side of the story, or even the TRUTH, in total contravention to the medias predetermined and totally prejudiced story line and narrative.

Some mutant at Berkeley, in 1965 came up with the moronic statement, a page taken straight out of Marx and Lenin, that "All things are political". They've (the self-styled Main-Stream-Media) been putting this into practice for years and the results are little more than a total erosion of their own standing in society.

And Nobody believes them any more.
