Trump Watches 8 Hours of TV a day

You know what struck me about this "report"?

The headline says 8 hours and the next thing written, the lead in the story, says 4 hours.

Idiocy and misleading lies.

Mr. Trump spends at least four hours a day, and sometimes as much as twice that, in front of a television, sometimes with the volume muted, marinating in the no-holds-barred wars of cable news and eager to fire back. Credit Tom Brenner/The New York Times

You lose credability when you abandon ethical journalism for partisan hackery as the entire msm has done.

Or, you lose 'credability' when you say things that certain people don't like.

Pretty sure if the Times was talking about Hillary Clinton, you'd have no problem with it, because it fit your narrative.

That’s all nice... but prizes mean nothing.

Accurate, honest reporting means something, and during the past few decades, they’ve become clear propagandists.

They’ve failed epically.

Obama, Arafat and Algore all won the Nobel Peace Prize... tells you something about “awards”.

Yeah, just like Trump won Time's "Person of the Year" last year. Tells you something.

Truth is, if the paper says what you want it it say, it's OK. Once it starts reporting against someone you like, you have a problem with it. Such hypocricy.

Still idiocy and misleading lies.

Do the math.

This is impossible given his schedule and just allowing for the time he spends actually ON TV and preparing to be there and traveling to be there.

A good rule to follow in hearing news is to ask this question: If this is true, what else must be true?

Here’s a good excerpt from the story, which is a typical well sourced NYT story:

4c5a7e0815c3de592085855e8ba7a770.jpg


From Politico:

‘“While in the Philippines I was forced to watch @CNN, which I have not done in months, and again realized how bad, and FAKE, it is. Loser!” Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning, one of a flurry of posts from the president that appeared online before 6 a.m.’


Clearly, the guy doesn’t watch much TV, although his tweets have been virtually perfectly timed with Fox and Friends segments.

Both The Hill and the New York Times are very credible and globally reputable.

Of course, a Breitbart lemming wouldn't recognize credibility under any circumstance.

I would not trust something based on an unnamed source from breitbart either.

Do I think hillary is guilty of certain crimes, my answer would be yes. If the times published an editorial piece agreeing with me, yes I would be supportive of that piece. I would not, do not, and never have been supportive of misleading people in order to advance any political agenda. I had no problem agreeing with Obama at times even though I disagree with him about most things. I don't change my positions based on which party is for or against something. I stay true to my convictions. It's not a popularity contest for me. It's a philosophical pursuit that I adhere too.

He watches often for hours with the sound off! He is showing signs of having had at least one stroke as his speech is now slurred and his behavior is erratic.

So, you wouldn't have trusted the Washington Post during Watergate, because 'Deep Throat' was an anonymous source? Anonymous Sources have been used by journalists forever. That's exactly why there is a SPJ Code of Ethics that needs to be followed.

"Trump Watches 8 Hours of TV a day"

Just like most senior citizens.

People were making fun of her because she didn't know what channel Madam Secretary was on without her secretary's help. This came out in one of the email dumps. I'm not sure which one is worse, but I think a President constantly tweeting about media coverage and then saying he doesn't care tops that even!

I cant speak of a time i was not a part of but i can say i do not trust todays journalists that do not present verifiable facts. They lack integrity and are hyper partisan.

He must be hiding a bag with a direct line to a urinal if he drinks 4L of soda a day.

“Fox and Friends” is the worst show on TV. I don’t know how Brian Kilmeade has made it this long in life without suffocating himself with a plastic bag.

I suppose if you are a liberal, it's not your favorite show. Who cares? It's killing all other morning news shows in the ratings.

In the world of Detoxification Science, if you drink a lot of Diet soda, your liver spends all it's resources to get rid of the preservatives and unnatural sweeteners, and it won't release the fat-burning enzymes. Seems to be true in Trump's case.Trump_Fat.jpg

That world sounds as science based as climate change denial...
