Steven Mnuchin is a window into the most corrupt White House in history

You should see a pic of a high official, the pic was clearly chosen to make the official look bad, it is on a piece that is slamming that official for his acts, which widens into a Trump Hit Piece.

Once they go so far as to run with the pic like that should everything that comes after be ignored, maybe because they have violated journalism, the norm of reporting the truth without bias?

I say yes.

This level of bias should get condemnation.

It's nice to hear you're disappointed in Trump.

Remember how making OJ look just a little darker than normal was cause for alarm all those years ago, now we have graduated to this, just openly taking shots at people they dont like.

His net worth is over $300 Million! I think he's worth more than most of Congress combined.:lamo

How much more of the Soviet Propaganda Manual are we going to dig into before we get to "Enough"?

There is science that these kinds of manipulation efforts work, even if we dont think they do I believe....I remember one study on Soviet Propaganda not too long before the fall that showed that the propaganda was much more effective than the victims thought it was. Those in the study thought that they mostly noticed and discounted the introduced bias....it turned out in reality they did not anywhere near as well as they thought they did.

I encourage you to take this matter seriously.

I do. That's why I (and millions of others) don't think Trump should be president. It's going to take future administrations decades to repair the damage his administration is causing.

This thread is about something else.

It appears that you suffer from Trump on the Brain Disease.

You might get checked out.

Yes, the Trump cult has dipped deeply into the Soviet propaganda manual. Unfortunately for them, it hasn't worked.

I can't tell if you're serious. Are you? lol

So let me get this straight...you're upset because you didn't like the pic of Mnuchin? Nevermind that he's stealing from the taxpayers and flaunting it...or that there is pattern graft in the Trump administration. Noooo...it's the bad picture of Mnuchin you're outraged over?

That would make a good SNL skit. lol

I dont like it when those who are claiming to be explaining the news of the day to the country use gross propaganda methods to manipulate us into believing what they want us to believe.

I say that you should consider likewise.

And I say you are God Damned Right this is very important.

But you have to admit that the pic fit the story, right?

This is the pic that got people really outraged. Do you know why? If you do, then you might understand why The Week posted the pic they did.

At this point none of this crap surprises me anymore.
We had more then enough corruption during the Nixon administration, and that corruption has continued on through all of the past offices iterations. Though now that Trump is in office, they are on some sort of inquisitorial witch hunt to find any instance of it.. weather its actually there or not.

Sad part is, they rarely say sorry after dragging someone's name through the dirt.
 
News articles have used less-than-flattering pictures of people they didn't like for as long as I can remember, and I've only been paying attention since '08.

DID Hearst go so low?

I think there used to be some standards, even in Yellow Journalism.

There was at one point, now I just wait for these news sources to dwindle into nothingness. They have already lost more then enough of their base from earlier rants, and this will most likely prove no different.

It is iron clan proof of how bad the elite class has gone rancid, and we were beginning to notice even before.
