(like his inauguration being the largest ever,
or that he won the public vote,
or that there were/are no connections between someone in his team and russia and that there never was any talk between said person and his russsian counterpart about lifting sanctions
or that there was a bowlng green massacre and a massacre in sweden 2 fridays ago)
Unfortunately the media don't do as they are told ... Terrible!
They are as terrible as the intelligence officials ...
Trump orders them to give him a report that support a travel ban of muslims (of the 7 countries)
and what do they? They give him a report that states that a travel ban would archieve nothing

This isn't about whether or not Trump said things that are not true. It is about whether or not his claim that the media is fake news is true or not, and it is true. Anyone who says it isn't is a liar.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

The president has stretched the truth or whatever. Yeah we get that, and it has already been reported. But the fact is that the media has also done the same thing, but they don't report that. They prove themselves fake news by not reporting fake news. They even claim that there is no evidence of fake news.
This isn't about whether or not Trump said things that are not true. It is about whether or not his claim that the media is fake news is true or not, and it is true. Anyone who says it isn't is a liar.
Also why, if media is fake news, Trump uses it as his source of information (for example regarding the massacre in sweden 2 weeks ago), instead of the intelligence reports?Last edited by Proteus_MST; February 26, 2017, 11:17.Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Then why doees Trump pick only a few media companies (and especially those who uncover his "alternative facts") as examples of "fake media" and doesn't also include media companies like "Breitbart" or "Fox News" despite they are not better (or even far worse, if we think of Breitbart) than the ones he picks?
More to the point, Breitbart is regularly criticized for all kinds of things, usually falsely, and for the most part conservatives do not insist that attacking them is censorship, like you have similarly done.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

Again, not the issue. Excluding Breitbart, who covers him favorably, does not make his claim about those who are trying to bring him down false.

I think this video is interesting, which shows us the differences between Trump and Obama in their behavior regarding the news media

Well, actually I can fully understand why he abhors reporters who are doing their job ... especially if I look at those articles, which illusttrate the enormous amount of lies/alternate facts/stretched truths the Trump administration already has produced (Trump must be walking around in really hot pants each day)
