You know you shouldn't be in here because you can't control yourself. Just forget you saw this thread, bud.

You're wrong , ask the mods.

I was one. Public figures are fair game. Worse things have been said about him and other celebrity figures. 

Eh, honestly you're right. I'mma disable Political threads from showing up for me. It's too tempting. 

Eh... perhaps, but you just told the truth. See, the problem is we are too considerate to say it like it is because it may break forum rules. The situation is dire. If he was younger, the US would be in real danger of becoming a dictatorship. The problem is, he is opening up the precedent for someone else to do it.

Republicans have eroded the US educational system to create these conditions. To pray on the uneducated, uninformed or religeously sheepish. Some of the things you can find on youtube are outright shocking. Half of the US population is beeing left behind and they don't realise it nor care. 

It's a worrying situation cause if it continues there will come eventually a madman that will try to seize control. The conditions for it are beeing nurtured. An Erdogan or a Hitler will come and shower his facts to gain more power. The basis for every dictatorship is a huge mass of uneducated religeouly sheepish people who will be passive to it all and not realise what is really going on. I had dared hope that would only happen in the middle east these days, but any religion corrupts.

The reason biased news channels like Fox or NBC doesn't bother me as much is because they are privately run businesses that cater to an audience. I would still want to see more journalistic integrity and will criticize when it seems to be lacking. But this kind of state TV that this is, is so problematic. The idea is that people in public position should answer to the press and the people, not try to shape the news themselves. This will only play to the diehard Trump supporters but it will cause that group to become even more radical and disillusioned.

I said he does not respond to bashing, and what you just posted is him answering questions.  You >> fact checking/hard facts = blaming.

You know just to throw this out here, I can find more Trump "fake news" bashing in his 7 months in office, than Obama's 8 years of "blaming" the media.

I'll never understand why people will argue politics when neither side will back down or acknowledge their own shortcomings.

You do realize that literally every form of American news is propaganda, right?
