Baseless? You who habitually throw stuff out without an apparent point and fail to back most of your stuff up, especially not in your own words? I asked 5 questions. Are the questions baseless? Aren't questions their own base?

The one positive statement that I made was a response to Wayne's saying that for Trump and his supporters the press is all Fake made to discredit him. It is not baseless, as one of his supporters, to say it's a lie to accuse me of saying that the entire Press is Fake. The basis for my saying that I don't claim such a thing is that I have not so claimed. I have said some of it is Fake, and it is that part that Trump and his supporters (including me) refer to as fake. Neither Trump nor his supporters have said the entire Press is fake.

And there have been several citations of fake news supposedly discrediting Trump submitted in past posts. As Spence would say, it's in the archives.

Has anyone rated World Press Freedom? Does it have a bias? is that how you dispute their information just call it Bias ? and the truth goes away ?? Facts are facts bias only help change the story in ones mind you demonstrate that skill often (see comment above )

You lie when you say "But for Trump and his supporters its all Fake lies made to discredit him..." It's not ALL fake news, but much of it is, including minimization or omission of positive news re Trump.

Now that is a Dear leader comment if i have ever heard one .. and here i thought right leaning people were against the every deserves a trophy .... if you need the media to show Trump in a positive image of report positive news of Trump . move to Russia or North Korea where they are very good at it. or have him actually do or say some positive things...

Is there a personal or intellectual line Trump can not cross ?? or are you just willing to shelve morals, personal integrity, and comon decency to get a crumb that may fall off Trumps Table

reference to Franklin D. Roosevelt,

“Should we go back to 16 years? Congressman, can we have that extended? The last time I jokingly said that, the papers started saying 'he's got despotic tendencies!' No, I'm not looking to do it, unless you want to do it.”

“He's now president for life. President for life,” Trump said of Xi. “No, he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot someday.”

Sorry its not hyperbole when it comes from the POTUS

Amazing how unreasonable some people can be when it comes to this subject.

"Nothing I say can shed any light on a closed mind "

Anyone notice the tragic irony that this post was followed shortly after by a guy shooting up a newspaper?

A kook who was making threats against the paper, and investigated by the police for doing so, LONG before Trump thought of running. A former female employee of that paper, moved out of state because she felt so threatened by this guy. All long before Trump was a politician.

He was a madman, on record as being a madman. How dare you imply any connection whatsoever, to what Trump said? You have no shame, no honesty, none, zip, zilch.

Sure he was crazy but why crack now? Considering Trump's history of promoting violence, threatening individuals in the press, calling out the press as our countries greatest threat etc... etc... you can't decouple his actions as the most powerful person in the country with people that could be influenced. This doesn't mean Trump's responsible but it does put his behavior in tragic context. That he was back at it after the event is really deplorable.

now he is going after Harley ! True to form and in a very un POTUS fashion

Trump has threatened to impose higher taxes on the Milwaukee-based manufacturer in retaliation after it said on June 25 it was shifting some production for European-bound motorcycles from U.S. facilities to avoid tariffs being imposed by the European Union to counter U.S. duties imposed by Trump.

He actually said this morning the Administration was talking to foreign makers about moving production to the US as a retaliatory measure. It was likely made up but this is like the twilight zone.

Oh, so all that matters is timing. Using that "logic", you must blame Obama for all the cops murdered after he lent legitimacy to cop-haters. Right?

Who knows why they snap when they do. Maybe it was Trump, but as of this moment, there is exactly zero evidence of that. But you don't care.

Trump tweets Iranian hardliner's unsubstantiated claim about Obama

Biased Fake story promoted by no other than Fox and the POTUS Shocking !!


He Read or watched or was told about A headline from Fox News, Sean Hannity, and others has been circulating for a couple of days now.

Donald Trump has tweeted an unsubstantiated claim from an hardline Iranian cleric and circulated by a news agency linked to the country’s Revolutionary Guard, that thousands of Iranians were granted US citizenship as part of the 2015 nuclear deal.

Trumps Tweet

Just out that the Obama Administration granted citizenship, during the terrible Iran Deal negotiation, to 2,500 Iranians - including to government officials. How big (and bad) is that?

I think he clearly said it wasn't his fault personally but he has set the table if you use the maxine waters standard your side has invoked regarding charged rhetoric it would Say it was Trumps Fault but since he has a R next to his name the Standard dosn't apply

the long lens of history gives us examples of whats normal and what is not .. and in our short history that long lens is very clear there has never but such a full frontal assault on Norms across the board

funny we were told by some to include the POTUS that Maxine Waters incited violence in her comments


Congressman Biggs (R) issued the following statement after introducing a resolution to censure and condemn Representative Maxine Waters:

Individuals have the right to debate their differences civilly, without fear of retribution. Unfortunately, Maxine Waters' comments condone public violence and encourage actions that jeopardize the safety and security of government officials and the American people. Those determined to undermine the progress and agenda of President Donald Trump, have taken it upon themselves to demonize their opposition.As Members of Congress we have the responsibility to lead by example and this rhetoric is simply unacceptable.”

Guess what he said about Trump calling the press the enemy of the people... you guessed it nada nothing funny how that works

Trump and his family are getting richer by the day, promoting the family brands and properties with hundreds of visits to them; laughing all the way to the bank while stirring the media with one distraction after another. No blind trust for him, business interests remain unchanged, no tax returns to review, no threat by the Republican control to hold him accountable. Jim wants us to give the man credit when he does something worth praise, I will say for a guy that can screw thousands and thousands of people with one bankruptcy after another, they guy always finds someone or some country willing to fund the family business.

While the Trump brand is going to come out of this stronger then ever, the USA brand will be IMHO severely hurt by the actions of this administration. Jim I’d be carefully giving too much credit to Trump for the state of the economy, it was in pretty good shape when he took office. My retirement has been reduced significantly to a point most of the gains since he took office, have been erased and if this stupid poorly planned trade war continues; I suspect all my gains will be lost.

I will give Trump credit for getting a large number of youth and women engaged in politics, which may be his undoing if he runs again; assuming the Democratic Party can get its #^&#^&#^&#^& together. As an independent I vote based on the merits of the candidates and I can only hope the choices are far superior to the crap we had this past one.

Lots of good points there, not much to vehemently disagree with.

"Trump and his family are getting richer by the day"

The Clintons and the Obamas will also get filthy rich from the presidency, but this is certainly different, and I agree he should have gone with the blind trust.

"the USA brand will be IMHO severely hurt by the actions of this administration."

Not sure I agree. And if we hurt our "brand" abroad but make things better at home, I may be OK with that. For example (making up a hypothetical), if outlawing abortion made the French hate us, I'd take that trade in a second.

"Jim I’d be carefully giving too much credit to Trump for the state of the economy, it was in pretty good shape when he took office"

Absolutely correct, it was in good shape. It's in better shape now, and part of that is because the businesses have confidence that he is a POTUS who doesn't thing "business" is bad, and he did away with unnecessary regulations, and gave us the tax cuts. I am of the opinion that those things helped. But your point is valid, the economy had a good tailwind when he took office.

" My retirement has been reduced significantly to a point most of the gains since he took office"

The markets are way up since he took office. 2017 was a great year, 2018 is flat.

Ivanka (the daughter trump would totally bang if she wasn’t his daughter.. tremendous ass by ththe way) changed the name of her handbag and clothing line to 100% remove the name Trump.. I believe the Trump brand has been tarnished like the cast bronze turd that it is.

Detbuch;
So what's the point of the metric? What's the significance? If 9 out of 10 report the story and 1 in 10 doesn't, what's the significance? If 1 out of ten reports a story and 9 out of 10 don't, what's the significance? What is the point of those ratios? Are we to assume that the outlier, because it is outnumbered, gets a negative rating?

And if similar or exact language is used in all the 9 out of 10 reports, is that just coincidence?

Bias is one of the metrics used by your source, World Press Freedom, to rate the various news outlets. If your source can evaluate a news organization by how biased it is, is it not fair to ask if World Press Freedom has a bias?

No. It's not as complicated or exaggerated as you make it. I was simply pointing out that you lie (or exaggerate) when you say that Trump, or his supporters claim that All news is fake.

I'm not going to say something as patently dishonest and absurd, as claiming I'm in the middle. And neither should you. I'm much, much closer to the middle than you are, I side with liberals on some big issues, and I have bashed Trump without mercy. You side with conservatives on any big issues? Were you ever brutally critical of Obama?
