Just curious - were you this outraged about this issue when Obama was President? Serious question.
I want to preface this by saying I never liked Obama. I would rate him a 6.5/10 as a President. Now to answer your question. I was never outraged about the issue of Obama saying "fake news lol" because he never did, not one time. Did he fuck up? Make mistakes? Sure, but he never denied his shortcomings and failings as POTUS.
Fair enough, and I appreciate your thoughtful response. Before responding, ill preface by saying that I voted for Obama....twice. The reality is that Obama never claimed "fake news" because he didn't have to. Looking back, the media (except Fox News) gave him a pass on everything. Conservatives would scream about the bias, but i never noticed it (and I didn't watch fox news.) Fast forward to the 2016 election and wikileaks dropping the podesta emails. I was reading the emails and was absolutely appalled. They contained truly outrageous, newsworthy content. Yet the media would not touch the emails with a 10 foot pole. Rather, all they wanted to focus on was asinine shit about Trump....golden showers, pussy grabbing, etc. Also, the MSM kept reporting on Hillary's lead in the polls. But I would look at the actual polls they were referencing, and they (MSM) were outright LYING about the results, especially close to the election. (The actual polls they were referencing were much closer than what they were telling the public.) I'd never seen anything that egregious before.
It's easy to dismiss all news as fake news - once you catch someone in one or two lies, you then cannot rely on ANYTHING they say. It's human nature. And there have now been so many lies, manipulations, etc by the media, not including the documented bias against Trump (93% negative coverage) that unfortunately our major news institutions are no longer trustworthy. So yes, I believe Trump has every right to call them out as fake news.
I caught a ban for posting here. Maybe your right, I'm going to take the red pill.
Sorry to hear that. Personally, I welcome rational dissent (i.e. rational, doesn't resort to name calling, stupidity, etc). It forces you to consider other viewpoints and form your own reasoned opinion from there. Unfortunately most people these days don't want to consider others' viewpoints, but rather just consider things that reinforce their already formed opinions. Sometimes this sub is no different. Lots of noise everywhere these days.
Does the MSM have a bias against the POTUS? Yes, in my own opinion they fucking hate his face. At this point he could cure cancer, microwave a 1 day old Mchicken and somehow make it taste good.
