Why would I read the NYT or Wapo? Listen to ABC News? They had Hillary up 12%. Talk about fake news! All I do when talking to libs, its part of my penance every week, it start by referring to 12% rule. I go to Trump’s tweets to get the real news. It is unfiltered and fun.
The old dying MSM is clutching their beads and Martha Raddatzing in public and behind closed doors. Not a pretty sight.

And Republicans aren’t taking the bait when the reporter sticks the microphone in their faces and demands they “comment” on Trump’s latest tweet.

I don’t have a Twitter account. I hate the entire social media thing. But wth Trump as president, I may go ahead and open an account so I can get what he says unfiltered.

Amen and amen. With FR, I get my important DJT tweets here.

Why does it always take 2 or more knuckleheads to write tripe like this?

because they both can not use the same phone at the same time to call their mommies for advice.

This is going to be a great 4 years or more!.
The MSM has no idea how to deal with Trump and everything that they try, gets them hammered by the people!

trumpeted false claims about millions of illegal votes

Shouldn't those be "undocumented claims"?

Twitter won’t dare do that even though Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed owns more twitter stock than Jack does.

I am certain that The Donald has Plan B no matter who challenges his Twitter. I’ve heard he wants to have his own tv network.

... and one of them is probably a Russian spy.

News is an archaic term used to describe that which is presented by the media.

If the message or event is presented by twitter, reporting is denigrated to response or old news

I don’t know about that. I read most of my news on my iPad. Whenever there is a link mentioned on Twitter I have difficulty accessing it. On my pc I think it is different.

These days, about 90% of “news” is transcribing Tweets, Facebook posts and YouTube videos.

Sounds like they are attempting to define what is news worthy when it comes to our President elect. And I’m sure they’re final decision will be almost nothing will be..........well, unless it is damaging to him then it will be coverage 24/7/365.

How can we SPIN his tweets, or get the American People to doubt them?? Surely there will be a way.

The MSM is only interested in Trump if they get to fly on his airplanes and stay in his hotels with him.
