Trump is acting very dictator like - barred NYT, NDN, CNN, RCP, and others from White House Press briefings

Quote:All he's doing is keeping them from disrupting and highjacking them, keeping them on topic and on point.I agree with all of this, save banning news outlets. Trump seems to have an issue with answering questions that are difficult. If that's the case, just issue statements. Don't hold press conferences. We show less advertisements to registered users.

Quote:Good points. I don't think he's anything close to perfect and don't expect him to be. Yeah. The media is partially to blame for Trump, so if they want to continue their ways, I wouldn't be surprised to see the current trends continue into the next election. i don't care that he kept them out, but it looks bad because all these agencies are now going to have ammo (justified or not) to keep blasting Trump.

They would have blasted him anyway, so what's the difference? These networks and outlets are incapable of reporting real news. Some of them may not even exist when the next election comes around.
Looks as though some would benefit from a little research to show that Obama did in fact, limited the WH press pool to only 5 major outlets (guess which were missing) and he also banned a certain grouping of media from traveling with him. How soon all is forgotten and glossed over.
I do not have a problem with limiting media exposure to those that want to truthfully represent and not embellish just to get attention or clicks on their websites. In any case, mainstream media is slowly fading away and struggling to remain relevant. Both sides of the aisle have seen the less than ethical reporting done to meet an agenda. In addition, the general public is also not ignorant to this fact. We've heard it before, the media thinks WE, the general public, are stupid and pawns to be maneuvered at will. ![]() We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
If you criticize Trump it's fake news, if you flatter him you're legit. Don't you get it.

One fun thing I do is bring up Fox and CNN side by side.
It's quite revealing. It's a real exercise to look at: 1. What's their top story 2. What are the other stories they deem important (how do the stories under the headlines fall) 3. How are those stories pre-framed: what language is used and what presumptions are made (even in the title) The difference is quite startling. It's why I don't rely on either for "news." I tend to put it all together and see what sorts out, and do follow up research if it's something that piques my interest. If it's a cheerleader or attack piece, those speak for themselves. More style than substance typically in both cases. And in all cases, always question what was left out. Most lies are lies of exclusion/omission. Spin has become an art form, where nearly anything can be framed in a good light. Or the opposite, if that's the intended effect. The youth of today don't remember a media that did an honest job. It's quite a disservice. It used to be respectable and respected. Now, many in the media don't even respect themselves the way they behave. What we have today is certainly not the way things used to be, there was no side taken. There was only presentation of what is the news, without it coming off as an editorial - which is what it's all turned to everywhere.

Quote:Hahahahahahaagree. All media is very slanted/biased to one side or the other in politics.. It's so bad, I can't even watch any freaking news these days when it has anything to do with politics. I just immediately assume that whatever is being said is all lies and spin (the direction of spin depending on which station it is). The only things I'll watch are live press conferences/speeches by the President, candidates, Congressmen, etc., and then decide for myself if I like what they say or not. I could care less about any "analysis" of the speeches from our news sources at all. It's just a bunch of slanted propoganda. Fox is hardly innocent of this either. People should listen to speeches, actually read the executive orders and proposed legislation,,,, and then think/decide for themselves about what they just heard or saw. Way too many people (millions too many) depend on these ridiculous "news" sources to make their opinions for them. But, this is nothing new. Propoganda and slant has been going on for centuries. It'll probably never stop.

Quote:Bye bye fake news.Those are opinions and cartoons doesn't make the news itself fake. What actual fake news have they reported that is fake, false, or plain made up?

Quote:What stuff did they make up?Just got back in town so forgive me if this has been covered. I use the same taxi/uber drivers in most of the cities I have business with. Today coming home from Cleveland my preferential driver Rasua, (a Muslim by chance) both of us agreed the media's portrayal of the quote/unquote Muslim ban is disingenuous at best down right dishonest at worst. It is a temporary ban for 90 days to re-evaluate the vetting process. This is not how the media portrays it though. Granted the administration did a horrible job of rolling it out and presenting it to the American people but that does not excuse how the media portrays the EO. This to me, (I hate this term "fake news" btw) does represent an unfettered bias that is being misrepresented by most media outlets. Furthermore, I wish the media would simply report what is happening without adding their political bias. By either blatant omissions or out of context quotes.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
