          It's ok, it's not like I expect liberals to be rational.
          If, unlike Breitart and Fox, the "media machine" objectively reports on Trump's lies and back-flips it is disseminating vital information; it is NOT the "enemy of the people". It is providing an essential service to the people.

            You are assuming a degree of competence and objectivity from the mainstream media that is not in evidence. The reason the liberal media is having a heck of a time shaking the "fake news" label is because it's accurate. The vast majority of their reporting on Trump is negative when you would expect organizations committed to the truth to be more in the 50/50 range of positive versus negative stories.

              That's an interesting point - it seems like every time Trump doubles down on "fake news", somebody in the MSM will do something really stupid or be exposed has having reported a bogus story, or, as in the case of the NYT, hire a leftist racist while denouncing racism....

              I think the MSM is their own worst enemy.

              • For that matter, news stories shouldn't even be easily categorized as positive or negative. Rather, they should simply report the facts as completely as possible and dispense with the commentary and "analysis".

                    It is in evidence. CNN have representatives from all sides on its discussion panels and its news programs are comparable to non-involved independent foreign news channels such as the BBC and Australia's ABC. The lack of competence and objectivity is on Trump's side not the non-Trumpian MSM.

                    • Why would an actual independent MSN give a 50/50 reporting of positives and negatives? It would surely be a function of the administration or POTUS itself.

                        Why would an actual independent MSN present only one side if they were truly independent and not the mouthpiece for that one side?

                              Oh the devastating riposte.

                              The question is why Trump's pet Evangelicals would believe a pathological, compulsive liar like Trump when he claims the media is "fake".

                                Yup, you're becoming more and more like Trump all the time.
