How many of these 300 papers published negative stories about Trump containing the words “anonymous Sources”? Or “a source said”

I rest my case. Fake Farking News.

300 papers conspire to promote the lie that they aren’t conspiring against Trump.

The fake media comes to the defense of the fake media.

“And he tweeted on Thursday: “The fake news media is the opposition party.”

Notice how “they” have a habit of leaving out qualifying adjectives.

Trump calls out the “fake news media” — that becomes shortened to “the media”. Fake news is demonstrably harmful to democracies — and that’s what Trump has (consistently) been attacking. Not “journalists” — just purveyors of fake news.

Similarly, Trump’s attacks on certain women (Rosie, Megyn, Omarosa ...) become “attacks on women” in general.

It’s a (not as subtle as they think) form of lying. AKA fake news.

Never mind the violence the media foments against patrotic Americans every day using inflamatory language and wielding PC weaponized speech.

Tell us again ye of the Press, how many journalists have been bloodied up since Trump became President?

As I recall, it wasn’t President Trump who wire tapped 20 AP reporters and James Rosen from FOX News.

What’s a newspaper?

They reside with buggy whips and comet pills.

It would be interesting to know the total actual readership of these 300 newspapers.

Shutting down propagandist, underwhelming, left wing nut paper news rags will help gloabull warming statistics drop drastically.

“If I took a newspaper I would cancel the subscription.”

I finally had enough after Trump’s visit to Singapore that the Cincinnati Enquirer buried, two days of front page stories focused on local polls and the USA Today insert in the paper also minimizing any potential good news about Trump. I have had at least a morning newspaper my entire life (except for 3-1/2 years living abroad) but the past several years it had gotten harder and harder to rely on them for actual news. I’m done. They are failing in so many ways, and the consolidations aren’t helping.

D1 to media:

Drop dead!

We’ve seen what you have had to offer, and we just don’t need this kind of propaganda.
