If you’re a liberal, speculation against Trump is “fact”

Can Speculation Be Defined as News?

In a word, NO.

Moving right along...

When news and moron talking heads drive policy, it's time to ignore them as irrelevant.
When a useless social segment is determined to commit suicide, why not let them?

Well, liberal and “conservative” news sources spent the past 12 months filling their pages with stories about how the GOP was going to fall apart because of Trump’s nomination, and what a Hillary presidency was going to look like. That turned out to be a giant waste of space. Now they have moved on to fill their pages with stories about how horrible Trump is going to be, or how he is going to either be a conservative, racist, sexist ogre (liberal media) or a closet liberal who will stab conservatives in the back (Never Trump media). That is going to be a waste of space too. Is it any wonder why people have stopped reading these sources for the most part?

In the days of George W. (Aw, gee, Biff) McFly, “Analysis” (OPINION) headline “news” was the norm.

For the Fraud, Big Media left off the “analysis” and simply printed all the lies they wanted to as headline “news”.

I do not think speculation or predictions are “news.” It is simply space-filler. I have long been annoyed by this.

It is one thing for a FR post to speculate about the future. We are a discussion forum. It is something else again - something untrue - to pretend that any “report” of things that haven’t happened is “news.”

"Can Speculation Be Defined as News?"

.... Apparently the answer is Yes since the Media is handling the Russian "Hacking" of the election as actual fact.

They make speculation into news by reporting that an “expert” said it. The hard “news” is that the expert said it. By extension, reporters can just quote each other, or a reporter can even just quote himself, and it’s news. Just the facts.

Only when it supports a Democrat narrative. Then it’s headlines.

"In 2017, the most interesting political figure not named Trump will be?" The choices (in order) are Gov. Jerry Brown, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Chuck Schumer ...

It's not going to be any of those people.

Or if it is, it's going to be a very dull year.

On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow announced: "I've been reading a lot about what it was like when Hitler first became chancellor. ... I think that's possibly where we are."

First, I would suggest that Rachel Maddow actually study a bit of history and learn a little about Hitler. Substitute "conservative" for "Jew" in modern liberal rhetoric, and you have something pretty close to the Nazi rhetoric of the 1930s and 40s. The Nazi party platform was not that different from the current Democrat party platform.

Second, Rachel is partially correct: the liberal practice of intimidating, threatening, assaulting people and damaging or destroying property of anyone who disagrees with the liberal agenda is eerily similar to the actions of Nazi brownshirts who used such tactics to cement Nazi power.

Watch out for Democrat projection: since they always project what they themselves plan or think, and their projections are becoming more violent, there is strong reason to be concerned. Very concerned.

Can Speculation Be Defined as News?

Apparently so.

The Gannett corporation (USA Today, etal) seems to include it in its mission statement:

 
 
 
 

 

Our Purpose

Our media drives action, not passive consumption. It helps people and businesses make meaningful change.

We Believe

  We inform them, equip them, guide them - in part as an award-winning news organization with deep roots in communities across the nation, but also as a modern media company that strives to push the boundaries of what content is, how it's experienced and how it's used.

 

From --->    http://www.gannett.com/who-we-are/purpose/

Read the 'news' on it's pages and see how many times Would, Could, Should, Might are used in the stories printed.

You'll not see much of what HAS happened; but a LOT of what Would, Could, Should, Might happen!
