Awful, because of how Trump thinks.

maybe if you post a news story that you consider 'made up' about the incident, I'll understand your point better.
He's not going to, because HardLoper fails to understand the difference between "we are reporting that this dossier exists" and "we are reporting that this dossier is accurate and truthful". The latter requires much more proof than the former. If I recall correctly only Buzzfeed chose to disclose the actual contents of the dossier before verifying their accuracy, and I would not consider them a reliable media outlet.
For the record I think the dossier is largely false, but I don't fault the media for reporting on its existence.

Not sure if you guys are being disingenuous here (I hope), or really are this clueless, but here's some history on Trump, the media, and DD/KKK.....

Yep. Conundrum is just wrong here. Trump is definitely being called out on his lies...it is pretty much unending, and as a person who knows that Trump is a train wreck, I'm pleased by it. The media as a whole has pushed back big time on the fake news claims. A handful of "reporters" on Fox News kiss his butt and let him get away with everything, but every other major outlet in this country lets him have it every day, unless there's a hurricane or a mass shooting. They are doing a very good job generally.
Trump's lies are easy to point out. They are regular and obvious. However, the mainstream media and people like Chuck Todd routinely fail to push back against lies from other, more "reasonable" Republicans, who can always be relied on to either try to bury any Trump atrocity in a pile of false equivalency, or separate him from their imaginary, pure version of conservatism.
So we get terrible conservative pundit after terrible conservative pundit (e.g., Bloody Bill Kristol, George Will, Michael Gerson, Michael Steele) making rounds on the Sunday Shows and complaining about Donald Trump, but they will never, ever be called to account for their role in paving the way for his election. It's like interviewing Dr. Frankenstein about all the terrible damage a rampaging monster is doing to the local town and never once asking him about all the experiments he's been doing in his basement. This is clearly by design. If you make the Republicans who come onto your show look bad, they won't come back. And then you'll no longer have "balance". The horror!
This is bad journalism. Trump is increasingly treated like a freak outlier rather than the embodiment of modern conservatism, which is the actual problem.
1) Prototypes are prototypes. He has no movement on the wall, he will never get it funded, and it will never happen.
2) The Russia investigation is ongoing. So, you are quick to say a wall can't be built so quickly, but you expect a complicated investigation to have come up with everything by now? By the mere fact that they are looking into Trump's business dealings and they have hired lawyers with such expertise should tell you that there's something...because there is.
3) Mainstream media does not print complete garbage. I'd like you to give me an example. They manipulate the facts? Now, are you talking about FOX News, because if that's the case, then you are right (sans Chris Wallace and Shephard Smith who are bringing SOME integrity to that embattled news network). Sometimes they make a mistake and print or broadcast a retraction. Trump calls anything he doesn't like "fake news". He is a child and he is wrong pretty much about anything he talks about.
4) Fake news and flat out lies come from the White House every day in remarkable fashion and pace.
6) You and the dwindling number of Trumpsters need to get off the election and saying that anyone against Trump is just mad that Hillary lost. Good freakin' grief, brother. Trust me, we are all over it. When there's a dumpster fire, you worry about wanting to put that out, not about something that happened almost a year ago. You do realize that before the election, all of us smart people were pretty sure he would make a terrible president, but now that he's been in the office for a while, our prediction has come true, only it is much worse than I think any of us imagined. We don't want him out of office because of Hillary. We want him out of office because he is a danger to our country and the world.
5) What is it about Trump that you want to defend so much? It can't be because you believe he is a brilliant leader. He has clearly shown that he is not. It can't be because he is getting things done. He hasn't gotten one bit of legislation passed. The ONLY thing he has done is sign some executive orders...something he criticized Obama for doing (oh, and he plays a record amount of golf...another thing he made fun of Obama for doing and something he said he wouldn't have time to do). Leaders don't undermine those who work for them. Tillerson has been made powerless because Trump publicly stated he doesn't agree with him much of the time. So, when Tillerson goes to negotiate with foreign powers, they can't trust that what he says is what Trump (and therefore America) wants. He publicly criticized others too from Sessions to McConnell to Ryan and on and on and on. Can't get anything done when you constantly criticize those who are on your same team. So, what is it that you like about him? His ineptness? His lack of a vocabulary? What? At this point, the only reason for you to like him is that you are racist and you like having a president that empowers your ridiculous racist attitudes. If it isn't that, then you need to educate me. I would like to see you try. Based on your first response to me, I suspect you have the same incompetence as the President you admire, so I won't hold my breath.

"Perhaps we should ask him one more time to really find out what he thinks of them. I mean, we're just asking- no big deal. 30 years and multiple denouncements don't really tell us anything."
Scumbag MSM and their pawns.

ok
why do YOU think he refused to denounce Duke after Tapper gave him multiple opportunities or even CLUES that Trump was supposed to denounce klan members?
Why? if trump is so clearly anti-klan, in your mind. Seems like if trump so understanding of the klan he'd leap at the opportunity with tapper to carry through on his life mission of defeating white supremacy.
If he denounced the KKK so many times in the past why was it so hard to do that when a simple question was asked him as a candidate?
Did circumstances change after he became a candidate? Like votes and support from them?
You mad, bruh? Type it all out- it's good therapy.
I'm not even joking- Our running group refers to any failure as "Flagpoling". Like any trending term, it started out being used correctly (only the most EPIC failures against unjustified arrogance), but it has now been diluted into anything that doesn't work out to the expected result.
Congrats. You're a legend for us. You will not be forgotten.

Nah. I'm not one to get mad. I just see things as they are, and Trump is a fool, and at this point, anyone who continues to back him is a fool also...or racist, or a racist fool.

There is ZERO CHANCE that your running group is not super gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I don't think you understand probability.
Number of Conservatives outraged over Bannonbart pushing FAKE NEWS: 0
"Sonoma County Sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer Crum said that “the only questions Breitbart News and InfoWars asked were about Gonzales's ethnicity and whether Immigration and Customs Enforcement had placed a detainer on him, which would hold him for an additional 48 hours at the jail.” It’s almost like they have an agenda here!"
In the meantime, there is a bipartisan senate bill, Alexander-Murray, that was initially OKed by Trump and now he has flip flopped and it isn't happening.

Trump showing again that he has no idea what he is doing.
PLEASE let Trump kill Obamacare.
With the majority of his base not realizing that Obamacare and the ACA are THE SAME THING, this 20-30 million who didn't have, then had, now will not have insurance again is going to be epic! Nothing like a benefit given, then taken away, to incur the wrath of even those racist supporters.
I guess politically it's good for Democrats if Trump and the Republicans botch healthcare so badly that they lose power in the next election.
But we will literally be paying for it with higher premiums next year.
This slipped to the third page and wasn't bumped after my earlier post today.
I wonder if it was a glitch or intentional programming.

One more point on this, don't you just get frustrated when you watch a press conference with Sara Huckabee and you hear her tell one bold faced lie after another and rarely does she get truly nailed on it.
Reporters seem to try but to me it seems as though rarely does some one with gravitas really command the stage and tell her that that is a bold faced lie. They also allow her to keep going on about the fake media. Also very few will follow up on questions that got dismissed as Sara moves on to the next person. The reporters seem to be too stuck on the questions that they wrote down.
I have a very hard time watching these press conferences,
The first questioner D- "it appears as though" said in a tenuous voice
The follow up questioner B not too bad, he tried, he should have followed with the comment, "I don't care its its a 4 star general or the pope, I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't try to find out the truth because of someone's rank"
He never came back.
