Time to get on the TRUMP train

[blake]

a news reporter should not be trying to accomplish anything except providing readers with facts. the press should not care about trying to change people's minds.

it seems we both believe trump is an unstable psychopath who says and does the dumbest shit imaginable. why would the press attempt to hide this fact?

i don't even understand what you think the press should be doing differently. not cover his mean tweets?

If you really believe this than IMO you are very naive and don't have a very good understanding of how journalism works. I don't see myself changing your mind however, so I think we are just going to have to disagree and move on.

this is weird though.

on the one hand, you freely admit trump's a mentally ill retard, who earns every ounce of criticism he gets.

on the other hand, you seem to be implying that the press is too hard on him

how are both of these things possible?

also you still haven't explained what you think the press should be doing, but isn't.

watching Tine vs. Verminhead battle it out reminds me of when Chaminade plays Duke or Kentucky in that shitty thanksgiving tournament, such a brutal mismatch

He isn't that bad. More like when Duke plays one of the lower tier ACC schools. They are still going to win, but things will be interesting for a half or so. But thanks.

I know Trump becoming president wasn't a good thing. But I think the last year and the next 3 could have gone a whole lot better if everyone just rolled with it

jesus how did i miss this gem

YOU THINK THE GUY'S A MENTALLY ILL RETARD, YET WONDER WHY THE PRESS DOESN'T JUST ROLL WITH IT

I miss when Wiz was a funny retard clown. It sucks that he ended up actually being sidedish.

I believe there is a happy middle ground between openly feuding with the president on twitter and pandering to him.

Even for a president as bad as Trump, when a huge % of your news stories are about him, and 95% of these are negative things have probably crossed the line IMO.

YOU THINK THE GUY'S A MENTALLY ILL RETARD YET THINK HE RECEIVES TOO MUCH NEGATIVE PRESS

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

The mainstream media has succeeded in painting Trump as a racist to the general public and also has succeeded in equating conservative white people into violent nazi thugs to every non-white under 30 in this country. It has actually damaged our nation and set race relations back 50 years



and the mainstream media knowingly did this to try to stop him from getting elected. picture is Trump and a woman he dated for 2 years, most of you probably haven't seen it because it goes against the "Trump is wacist and a nazi" reddit bullshit so many people can't see through

i don't even know the context of this clip but I don't agree with different rules for different races. I am not offended by the Pocahontas thing either if that's what you're getting at

What??? He is arguing the people opening casinos on Indian reservations aren't really Indians. They are just scamming the system. Whether you believe he is correct or not, this video is a horrible example showing Trump is a blatant racist.

if you feel the NYT and CNN are engaging in anything close to that caliber of gaslighting and/or subversion, then a) im sorry but you're obviously wrong and b) i see now why you want to shut this convo down.

CNN is Democrat propaganda. Fox News being GOP propaganda does not negate that.

[cnn] Virtually all propaganda from our national enemies was pro-Trump.

[Fox] OBAMA WAS LITERALLY BORN IN AFRICA AND HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS FAKE.

[PFAlt-Right] See? Plenty of blame to be placed on both sides of the spectrum. Clearly MSM is garbage and cant be trusted.

[ErickAA]

I am sure Trump is racist to some extent. I would argue pretty much everyone is racist, it is one of those things that has been selected for and hardwired into us. Trust people in your group that look like you and be wary of everyone else.

The irony is that as a whole because of social conditioning 21st century white Westerners are the least racist group of humans who have ever lived in the history of human civilization, and yet we have somehow completely subverted the term so that only white people can be racist and everyone else just gets a free pass.

Seriously? Wow dude... He's not arguing they're not Indians, he's arguing they don't "look" like Indians therefore they must not be Indians. You really don't see the racist undertones and bigotry of that statement?

come on man, everybody (including you) knows CNN is extremely biased against GOP candidates in every presidential election. Just 24 hours a day of negative coverage of the right wing. that's not me being edgy or contrarian, it's just out there, it's widely known and accepted by people on the left and right... it's stupid and dishonest to deny CNN's liberal bias. Fox News came out as a "republican" version of CNN and became successful because there was a big vacuum out there for "conservative" biased news on the shitbox

the assertion that their bias is somehow equal is where this becomes a problem.

fox news went to court claiming they were not beholden to journalistic standards and fucking won.

they are pariahs among educated, responsible adults.

they hit a sweet spot with you because you loathe shiftless and savage negro beasts, so i get that you're not interested in being on my side of the pitchfork here. but when fox news goes to court saying 'lol we arent even an actual news channel so suck a dick up until you hiccup' it undermines your assertions.

is it racist for me to notice that Trump's non-white ex girlfriend looks like a quadroon at best?

I think you are reaching.

Anyways, if this is slam dunk proof Trump is a raging racist, than I would argue the vast majority of people in this country (of all races) have said something just as bigoted at some point in their lives and are raging racists if this is the bar. Most people are just aware and self-conscious enough not to say something like this in a public hearing (or whatever it is)
