    So, I found myself watching CNN today.

    These people are so triggered by Trump, they actualy said this new terror attack in Spain "might" be a copycat of the Virgina attack...

    No facts, not anything, just bullshit with no regard.

    And the dont understand why Trump says "fake news".

    Someone that spews 99 percent bullshit shouldn't be allowed to call anything fake.

    Well A that isn't all true and B you can sit there and call Trump an exaggerator/liar when they report their biased view void of facts.

    Imagine a one-week moratorium on Trump's twitter and all news media going dark. You have to admit it's downright ridiculous to claim that Barthelona (sic) was a copycat crime.

    Wolf Blitzer, he is a master baiter. Likening a coordinated, planned attack in Spain with a spur of the moment decision by a single individual. Say it. Even if it is not true, people will talk about it and make it "true".

    "There will be questions about copycats," Blitzer said. "There will be questions if what happened in Barcelona was at all a copycat version of what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. Even though there may be different characters, different political ambitions, they used the same killing device: a vehicle going at high speed into a group, a large group of pedestrians."

    Apparently they've forgotten ISIS was driving vehicles into crowds of people long before last Saturday.

    I'm not saying it's not bullshit, first glance it's complete bullshit and 2nd and 3rd, it's some fucking Muslim extremist. However, Trump calling something fake news is like Bozo calling someone a clown.

    Bozo aside, there are clowns and lots of them work in the media industry. Trump bullshit or no Trump bullshit, there IS fake news and the rest of us can call it out when we see it.

    And there are degrees of fake too. Manipulation of news and facts is as repulsive to me as straight up fake. The spin in the headlines since January has been astounding. There are micronews stories that have gotten headlines that would never have seen the light of day had Trump not been elected. And that has NOTHING to do with Trump's bullshit.

    Kinda like CNN insinuating Isis learned and copycated from white nationalist in Charlottesville to use cars for terror.
