“Folks, if you don’t instinctively reject everything you first hear in the media, you’re making a mistake.”
Been trying to get there since the 1980s. I think this election cycle finally put me over the top on that one.
I watched Morning Joe at al on MSNBC a couple days ago. For ten minutes they covered Trump and his falling out with Tillerson, the moron comment, etc. They talked as if it was just a matter of hours before Tilly would resign.
Then the same day Tilly gave his strong statement on how it is all rubbish.
The next day I watched morning Joe again. How would they respond? They mocked Tillerson, said he was Trump’s puppet, was forced to give a statement, it was insincere, etc. It was pathetic. They looked absolutely stupid. And yet their audience eats it up.
Fake news, all the time.
