Oh, we know what you mean by “a better job reporting the news.” It means censoring things that don’t comport with your opinions.
Take a story that says “Trump wins presidency, Clinton wins popular vote.” I’m sure you think it is fake news and poor journalism to state a fact that Clinton got 3 million more votes.
All these stories about Trump being incompetent and lying through his teeth must really bother you. I’m sure you’d rather read about Trump’s record-breaking crowds at the inauguration.
If he can read at all. Follow his latest adventures about Exec Orders he signed (he says) without reading them (blaming President Bannon). For a tough guy who supposedly only respects strength, that’s a real punk ass bitch excuse to fall back on.
Either he is stupid, or illiterate, or lazy or dereliction of duty, or other worse things (deliberately creating chaos and/or in Russia’s pocket).
Well, there’s the problem: “Trump’s hometown”. He might have gotten two or three hundred people, out of curiosity if nothing else, if they’d held the rally in some big city where nobody had ever heard of him.
I seem to remember some controversy over just when the (CNN?) photos in question were taken. Was Trump actually speaking at the time? Or were the crowd photo’s taken earlier in the day?
I distinctly remember watching Super Bowl 51 in real time.
I want the news media outlets to provide the Who, What, Where, Why, and When of every story they produce. Even you could spot fake news stories with that information at your fingertips.
The photos were taken 25 minutes apart (aside from the 8 year gap). There’s also a time lapse video from the same vantage point of Trump’s inauguration that clearly showed people arriving and not being delayed by the non-existent magnetometers.

Are you sure? I distinctly remember some controversy over whether you were actually staring at a ceiling fan and trying to stuff both of your fists in your mouth.
Again, I analyzed Two news sources providing Who, What, Where, Why, and When in post 96. Is it tl;dr for you? Should I have made it less than 5 sentences? Can you show us examples of inadequate news sources instead of just painting with a broad brush and thinking that settles the matter?
You seem to be on a roll. Keep going. What else are you thinking that I’m thinking? I can hardly wait. The suspense is killing me. Well, it’s mildly uncomfortable. Sort of.
As far as a 48 hour moratorium is concerned, it’s fairly simple. You don’t make up your mind about a particular major, late-breaking, all-news-readers-on-deck, main stream news story until after approximately 48 hours have passed. It’s really, really, simple. Even you could do it. With practice. A lot of practice.
Why are you bothering? A troll is a troll is a troll. Whether (s)he’s a pathetic ignoramus posting stupid shit to get a rise, or (s)he’s a pathetic moron who believes what (s)he posts, (s)he will never give you a reasonable answer, regardless of how well you might make your point. It will be just more inflammatory bullshit designed to rile you up. Stop rising to the bait.
Some advice, the condescending tone of voice isn’t funny if you avoid replying to the weightier topics and think we won’t notice.
You still haven’t responded to post 96 after tripling down on how the news media isn’t covering the Who, What, Where, When & Why. Plus, you said you imposed a 48-hour moratorium on the news without explaining the process. I thought that meant you avoided examining the news. I have no idea what you’re thinking if you don’t post your reasoning and methods. I have to resort to guessing and see if that comes anywhere near the mark.
You seem to think all you have to do is spout your opinion without supporting it with research and that will be enough. Don’t you think that could be why you’re getting so much negative feedback?
I don’t trust any retail for profit news source anymore but NPR, CSPAN, AP and others are not for profit and don’t have to sensationalize things to achieve their goals.
I think that if they did their job, you would see them act more like NBC than FOX. A lot more.
Yes, yes, I know, DNFTT, but I took a Strength Finder test and my number 1 strength is Context. I’m obsessed with discovering why things are the way they are, and it’s sometimes a multilayered raison d’etre that can go back centuries. Maybe it is futile, but Columbus was looking for Asia and found something else. Maybe there’s an underlying reason for **doorhinge **that solves one of the numerous mysteries of the universe.
