    Often times they misrepresent what was said and take things out of context.

    Do you consider that fake?

    Meaning, they add their bias to the story. It is up to you and me to form that opinion. Not them.

    I think the more concerning thing about the media is there selectivity in what stories they will cover. Has anyone heard anything on any network or CNN about the FBI texts showing they were in the bag for Hillary on her email investigation? Numerous congressman have stated this today after seeing the texts. Or even that the texts were missing. No news source has objectivity anymore. Its very scary. There is no freedom of the press because stories that go against they network philosophy get squashed.

    In the airport today and I guess CNN is the national news station for airports.

    Sad to see all the “reporting” is based on assumptions and hypotheticals.

    When the fuck did facts evaporate from the news?

    What is most scary is not so much that the national media fakes the news, they just don't carry stories that do not fit their narrative, or minimize the story/impact.
    What is most telling is watching the NYT comment sections. I do not know how they decide which articles they will open for comments, and those they will not. Sure seems to me that the more F'd up the story, the more likely they will either term comments or never offer the opportunity in the first place.

    Why is it the Comey memo was taken as fact yet the GOP memo is propoganda to undermine the “Russia investigation”.

    Wow. CNN just made a comment that “ I wonder if Melania’s white dress was racial”.
