According to who? Stephen Coleman of CNN? You allow him to do your thinking for you? He is supposed to present the facts. Trump may have considered Fauci's recommendations and rejected them. That's not "ignoring".
I just explained how these news agencies place their fat thumbs on the scale. If you like them drawing conclusions for you, then fine. I don't trust them to do my thinking for me.

Originally posted by MaxVel View PostYeah, that makes sense. Tell CP that he's wrong about what he reports he thinks, and that he really thinks the exact opposite.
He says stupid stuff all the time, and it's pretty difficult to accept the idea that he actually believes everything he says - regardless of whether he's talking about his own supposed opinions or objective fact. That's pretty much the nature of trolling: pretending to hold to an idea/opinion that you don't actually hold to, just to get a rise out of people.
Plus, there's always the ever-present cognitive dissonance (and I'm speaking in general, not about Trump or CP). It's very easy to find people who hold contradictory ideas, and who get annoyed when you point this out to them. For example, claiming the media is untrustworthy, while accepting what the media says on a variety of subjects you agree with (et al).Last edited by Whateverman; 06-24-2020, 10:41 AM.
