The AP doesn't want or need facts.
I doubt we’ll be lucky enough to have two guys in a row ready to slap huge lawsuits on the media, but this Dow guy certainly has a case, and he should slap them - if only to start trying to hold the media accountable.
at least he isnt George W. Bush. In the process of allowing himself to be a punching bag, Bush - most Republican politicians - allowed us to be used as a punching bag. Trump stands up for us.IMHO in getting the
journalistspropagandists attacking his unpresidential tweets he has them on the wrong foot. While he stands up for us, they try to separate us from Trump. It cant work. Sure, his tweets are unpresidential - as if the MSM were opposed to having Trump - having any non- socialist politician - look "unpresidential. Trump is in an ugly fight - and he is fighting ugly.Maybe they are responsible for casting the POTUS in an unpresidential light.
The Democrat Propaganda Machine (the MSM) is falling apart from the weight of its own mendacity as Trump’s Truth exposes them for what they are.
