Yep and the idea that the MSM is misinforming the population is weak at best. FOX viewers WANT a certain conservative angle to stories same as tuning into NBC because a liberal likes the opinions formed on different topics. That people are debating facts is purely a political device. FOX and CNN have mutual respect behind the scenes, but politicians like to point the finger at the media when they run out of excuses for their poor performance. This is not a media issue, it's a political issue.
The media is misinforming people. For example, all the negative stories about Trump to make him look a like a lair. That is done on purpose to incite the libs.
Take for example the following story released today on CNN's website:
Checking a Trump claim about jobs in the U.S. CNN uses factcheck.org to *PROVE* that Trump is lying.
Now, what is the proof:
A Toyota spokesman claims that the investment was going to be made anyways.
Now to a Trump supported this story is incredibly bias. At best, Toyota and Trump are trying to save face and say something positive. Trump has certainly influenced Toyota somehow with all his comments.
Why would CNN dismissed Trump statement as a lie? They are trying very hard to keep the lefties energized in their Trump hate. This happens every day and with everything Trump says.
The TV shows are even worse. I used to watch CNN a few years ago. Now, I can't stand the idiots they put on the air with all their hate for more than a few minutes.
