My family used to own radio stations and had one large newspaper before we sold them. The journalists do what their bosses tell them. If they appear to have a liberal or conservative bias it's because the managers put them on for that reason to increase sales.

In the case of CNN, they ginned up phony intl about the WMD programs in Iraq because that's what sells. The same for the New York Times. Their audiences loved reading those lies. Today it's the same about the phony Russian dossier on Trump and all the other fake lies implying that there's something wrong with talking to people from Russia or anywhere else. That's normal. CNN and the New York Times knowlingly used suspect anonymous sources which now have been refuted just like the WMD's were refuted. There will be no retractions. They went with lies knowing there was no evidence but they did so for the money.

It's all about the money.

Media of all persuasions have their own editorial stance. Where am I wrong? When major facts are shown as wrong, most credible media organizations will print a correction. 100% of the time? No.

I agree it is about money (e.g., page views, ratings, etc). The 24 news cycle needs to be fed, whether it is with political stories or disasters or what ever the viral news topic of the day is.

Truthful post yet little Trumpettes are in such denial it's like talking to a mud wall.

Another media outlet has printed up Trump's OWN words which of course are lies(alternative facts!).

Donald Trump has said 337 false things as president. Here are all of them:

Because the source of a indisputable list of 337 lies(and counting!) is from Canada, it makes Trump's own words untrue?

Who cares as long as he keeps winning?

Wait you posted an article saying Trump is calling it a "clear victory" as your Exhibit A that he keeps winning?

A couple things wrong with that:
1) You can't say he keeps winning by using an article about a ban that he lost in court on multiple times. You can't keep winning if you're appealing to the SC after losing multiple decisions.

2) He didn't even get the ban fully reinstated only partially. Is that what you consider winning? Providers must love you. You pay for an hour session and get a BJ, cum and leave because hey, you got partial service.

3) They voted to hear a the case 9-0. They didn't decide on the case 9-0. Here's a hint, when it's decided in court it will be 5-4 one way or another.

I tell you, Trump people grade him on the biggest curve. It's like you have to give him points because he's stupid, unqualified and in over his head. I've never seen anything like it.

He won because the SCOTUS slapped down all the whiney-ass liberal judges that came before. Judge shopping is going the way of the dodo bird. Extinct!

2) He didn't even get the ban fully reinstated only partially. Is that what you consider winning? Providers must love you. You pay for an hour session and get a BJ, cum and leave because hey, you got partial service.

He got what he wanted out of it. You obviously haven't read 'The Art of the Deal'. You always start out asking for more than you really want then starts the negotiations to get what you were really after.

3) They voted to hear a the case 9-0. They didn't decide on the case 9-0. Here's a hint, when it's decided in court it will be 5-4 one way or another.

By the time that happens it won't even matter because the new vetting regulations will already be in place.

When are you going to learn... Trump OWNS the points. He's the President!

After another fake story on Trump from CNN that they had to remove from their website, a source at CNN told buzzfeed that the story was a "massive, massive fuck up and people would be disciplined."

https://www.buzzfeed.com/jimdalrympl...WnJ#.euAL8OmL2

The Supreme Court voted 9-0 in favor of the travel ban because even the liberal justices knew the lower courts had no right to block the travel ban.

It's funny how this thread has gone from Trump is a traitor colluding with the Russians and he'll be impeached to yelling "he's a liar!" and posting memes.

You're a joke.. Either you're incredibly stupid or troll. I wish it was the latter but I'm sure it's the former.

1) It's funny to call it win because a Republican leaning SC reversed liberal judges decisions. Was it a team effort? Did Trump go argue the case? How is it was is he winning?

2) Oh really? This was the art of deal making? He didn't really want what he put out at first? That's why he whined and bitched about it. And kept appealing? Because he knew that the SC would reinstate part of the ban but not all of it? Stop it with the Trump is playing chess while others are playing checkers. He didn't write that book. He's not a good deal maker. He's not playing chess. He's playing marbles and eating marbles when others aren't looking. By your logic I guess he didn't really want to fully repeal Obamacare, he didn't really want a wall, he didn't really want to bring coal jobs back, he didn't really want all those things he promised that have feel through. He just said those things so he could get halfway there and make the deal he really wanted. That's idiotic.

3) If that was the case, they wouldn't need the ban reinstated now. They said they needed 90 days, and it's been over 90 days. So in theory they should have seen all they needed and had regulations ready to be implemented. But this guy doesn't do anything but sign papers and smile for the cameras. He doesn't know what's going on. There is no staffing at most of the departments because he hasn't (and probably doesn't know) that he needs to nominate people. He's constantly talking about the Dems not working on healthcare. I think he doesn't know that they are doing it through reconciliation and don't need 60 votes but only 50 and Pence. The great deal maker can't even get deals done in his own party. He needs Turtle man to get everything done.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait..... Are you citing a Buzzfeed article. YES!!! You're saying that you view them as a credible news site for you? The same Buzzfeed that said that there was a Pee Tape out there. The orange man likes a little golden showers. That's what you are saying to everyone right now. Great!!

You're a moron. The Daily Caller is a right wing outlet. Not to mention the bias and conflict of interest. If you are citing a story on the Daily Caller about CNN, maybe think about the fact that the it's run in part by a guy who works for the direct competitor of CNN. If fact people have quit the outlet because Tucker Carlson had refused to publish their articles because it went against the right wing ideology. So yeah, that's the BOOOM you just dropped on all of us. An article by a site that's founded/ran by a guy who works for the competition of the company being talked about.
