ROFL. Are you actually advocating that Trump's coverage is now widely perceived as being less biased since that time? Yeah, that's it...that's the ticket!

If anyone's being an incredibly dishonest sack of garbage here...it's you.

I literally quoted you scientific polling from two days ago that showed you exactly that, directly addressing the exact point you made almost word for word, and showed it to be false. Instead of admitting you were wrong you posted an online poll (!!!), polls about other topics, and a poll from 2016. Absolutely pathetic.

As we know, nobody has as many locks on their door as a burglar. Now we know why you accuse everyone else of dishonesty, it's because you know what a lying sack of shit you are and assume everyone else is just as bad.

Says the guy picking cherries. Just wow. I want you to stop and think about how your argument sounds an awful lot like an anti-vaxxer argument. Cherry picking, appeals to popular opinion...

So all your evidence about hostility is just a poll about people's feels?

And the left is called a bunch of snowflakes... Jesus.. you must sit down when you pee.

Lets play a game.. who said this Trump or reporters?

I don't know why you feel compelled to interject yourself here...but you may want to scroll up to my original point and start from there rather than starting off with an insult and then whining about Trump bashing the media.

Dude...did you not understand my post. Even if you use 45% from fskimospy's poll...MY ORIGINAL POINT STILL STANDS. Just wow.

The hilarity of this is people think true stories about Trump's actual words and deeds are "unfair coverage."

Boo fucking hoo. Seriously. It's reached the point that printing factual information is considered "bias."

And other conservatives wonder why I keep telling them batshit has been mainstreamed in the GOP. FFS

Your original point was this:

The average Joe is now completely sensitized to the current hostile media environment and has lost faith in MSMs ability to be reasonably objective. You call this kind of reporting "accurate"...but are blind to this pervasive bias and how it's widely perceived...with the majority of Americans now thinking the media is unfair to Trump.


That is false, therefore your original point does not stand. In fact, more Americans think the media is fair to Trump or not critical enough than think it is unfair to him.

You have descended into pure batshit denial of reality. Just wow indeed.

The poll you cited stated that 45% perceive anti-Trump bias in the media...add margin of error and call it about 1/2 of the voting population you pedantic asshole. My point stands.

Add math to the things DSF is confused by. You are arguing that less than half is a majority.

Can't make this shit up.

Haha, you realize margin of error works both ways and the reported figure is the most probable one, right? Also, it’s amazing that you’re accusing someone of being pedantic for pointing out the evidence says EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what you claim.

‘So I said a majority of Americans felt the media was biased against Trump and even though scientific polling says the opposite if you squint really hard and pretend the entire margin of error goes in my favor then we’re up to half the population which is close enough to a majority. I CLAIM VICTORY.’

And it’s not like he’s mistaking a plurality for a majority either, he’s taking a poll that says a majority of people think the media is FAIR to Trump and saying it supports his claim that a majority think the media is UNFAIR to Trump.

He’s fucking losing it.

You made the claim that the msm is hostile..

It should be easy to find a couple of examples of the media being completely hostile and this thread is about Trump kicking out the media out of the WH... So.. not a big leap of faith to say the msm is being hostile towards Trump so much so he is kick them out.

Guys, you really need to stop responding to him. You're enabling his behavior. He is outright just working to derails threads and get you to waste time debating his lies. It is incredibly obvious. And at this point, there is nothing to be gained. It is obvious to anyone being even remotely objective that he is not partaking in honest discussion. You're not stopping any moderate from believing his bullshit, you're not making sure his claims go unchecked (that is easy, call out his claims, and then just stop responding), and you're not in any way placating him. He isn't going to believe his bullshit any less for you providing resistance. In fact, the best way to show how little value his claims/posts/opinions/etc have, is to respond with facts when they attempt to provide something having any substance (like when they link something), and then ignore everything he does that doesn't.

President Bush took lots of negative coverage yet he didn't threaten to remove credentials, trump needs to stop being so thin skinned. The media is very biased and needs to tell the truth instead of supporting the leftist agenda.

Actually, it is telling the truth, it's just that the truth doesn't line up with what Republicans want to promote.

Wow, you dredged up a single story from 2012 as 'proof' the media is skewing things in 2018?

You're a joke.

You didn't even acknowledge what happened, probably because you support it. Typical of you. Its still an example of the media lying and not telling the truth.

I don't support editing. I'm calling you out because you're using disingenuous, largely irrelevant bullshit in an attempt to distract from your lack of actual, meaningful proof. Prove things are happening in 2018, or shut up and let the adults talk.

Most mainstream media is biased against Trump. And as a whole it meets the same journalistic standard that has always applied. The fact that so much of it is negative is because Trump and his associates are involved in so many shady things. If Trump wants the media to have a more favorable opinion of him, maybe he should speak and act civilly and not surround himself with a host of people involved in criminal acts or unethical behavior.

Your post makes no sense

You say the media is against trump


Then you go on and say trump does and surrounds himself with negative things

Well maybe he should not bang pornstars then lie about it

Screw people out of money. Contractors. Trump U.

Trump's basic problem is that facts really do have a liberal bias. So he just makes up alternative facts to justify his actions. When the MSM points that out, he declares them to be the enemy of the People & is somehow believed by people who really should know better.

The media hasn't really changed at all. It's part of their job to tell us when we're being lied to & Trump gives them more opportunities to do that than any President in modern History, including Nixon. He lies about literally everything.

Change 'majority' to 'roughly half' if it makes you feel better. Classic fskimospy...can't see the forest for the trees.
