The Media deserves to be skewered, big time.

Journalism in itself is an honest and virtuous endeavor. But, it not only attracts the most scurrilous bottom feeders in our society, it somehow makes celebrities of them.

It's all about Trump. He was on Face the Nation speaking about himself in the third person and threatening not to honor the pledge not to go third party. "They are not treating Donald Trump right."

I don't want a President who refers to himself in the third person or is called "the Donald." Very off-putting.

“If done right, I agree.”

If “being done right” means exposing malicious, hateful,
biased writing that involves insidious and libelous assertions without any basis, than what’s wrong with suing an adolescent punk for being a lying mouthpiece for a revolutionary point of view?

Just asking.

IMHO

I think this revolutionary movement is good. It’s an opinion. (he’s simply wrong)

This candidate did this. States a fact. (He didn’t.)

It was intended as a generic comment. It would be an opinion.

And opinion is different than a declarative statement.

It is a Republic, not a democracy,where political opinion is especially protected. Don’t recall where the Constitution confers protection to willfully lie and present falsehood as fact but the press does it all the time.
