    This is exactly how the "media" should handle the avalanche of lies and conspiracy theories from the Trump crime family. It's about time.

    So it has been more than a year of trump as potus. We now all know well his standard is the opposite of truth. When trump said fake news media is the enemy of the people, what he was thinking is the trump standard of fakes are the enemy of the people. Just look at Putin uses of fakes and you can see who is the enemy of the Russian people.

    Trump does this consistently. He accuses others of what he does.

    As a bigly fan of history, it's the same tactics used by men who think they're above democracy all throughout the world like Maduro and Ortega, who truly are bffs and in the inner circle of commissar putin. It's scary that people buy in 100% and not allow any room for reasoning. I guess it's like being a homer.

    one of the biggest wtfs for me locally is Dan Crenshaw . The ads by the political opponent made him out to be an obama supporter and a supporter of illegal immigration when the guy is none of that. This was his own party. Just throw out stuff even if it's not true many many many will believe it.

    I don't know if this was posted/mentioned. Veteran reporter Lesley Stahl quotes Trump telling her exactly what we know/suspect already: his anti-media crap is just to get you to disbelieve the media whenever it releases negative reports about him.

    As if this is really news, but this reporter has been around a bit and certainly has no reason to lie.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/22/tru...shes-press-to-discredit-negative-stories.html


    President Trump told Lesley Stahl he bashes press 'to demean you and discredit you so ... no one will believe' negative stories about him
    • President Donald Trump said he bashes the press to "demean" and "discredit" reporters so that no one will believe negative stories about him, "60 Minutes" journalist Lesley Stahl said Monday.
    • Stahl's revelation came during a talk before the Deadline Club of New York, a group of journalists.
    • Stahl scored the first television interview with Trump after his 2016 election as president.
    President Donald Trump told the veteran journalist Lesley Stahl of the CBS program "60 Minutes" that he bashes the press to "demean" and "discredit" reporters so that the public will not believe "negative stories" about him, Stahl said.

    div > div.group > p:first-child" itemprop="cssSelector">
    Stahl's disclosure came Monday night during a talk at the Deadline Club of New York's annual journalism awards at the Harvard Club in Manhattan.

    The CBS reporter was speaking to the audience along with PBS NewsHour host Judy Woodruff.

    Stahl said she and her boss met with Trump at his office in Trump Tower in Manhattan after the 2016 election in advance of a recorded sit-down interview for "60 Minutes.

    "At one point, he started to attack the press," Stahl said. "There were no cameras in there."

    "I said, 'You know, this is getting tired. Why are you doing it over and over? It's boring and it's time to end that. You know, you've won ... why do you keep hammering at this?'" Stahl recalled.

    "And he said: 'You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.'"

    Stahl paused for a moment after quoting Trump to the assembled journalists.

    "He said that," Stahl noted.

    "So, put that in your head for a minute. Yeah."

    One of Fox's semi-reasonable individuals. Too bad Hannity gets so much of the attention.

    Elon is not happy with all the recent negative articles about his Tesla brand.

    I suppose that is one way to lash out.

    This just follows an opportunistic plan that Elon has taken since the election of Trump..... he wants him on his side.
