What you are missing is this:

People have stopped accepting the crap that the liberal media is throwing out there. Well, let's limit that to the reasonable assessors of news.

So where are these "reasonable assessors of news" getting their info?
FOX News?....Breitbart??....Weekly World News???
The Prez himself seems to like The National Inquirer and InfoWars.....he's very discerning.

You and apparently many of the liberal elite are sticking with the idea that the lying a-holes of the media will once again be believed by the masses. They know the media is publishing and broadcasting crap, but they like the crap.

"Reasonable assessors" of the news try to access several outlets whenever an important story breaks.

Mark Twain was a pretty smart guy. He noted that once a cat gets burned on a stove, he won't go near any stove again, hot or cold.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here.
Are you saying any incorrect news stories will cause media consumers to never read any news again?


What is happening is that the lying a-holes in the media have been exposed. Millions of additional people are rejecting them daily. Add them to those who have already rejected the idea of media crediblity and the media has a real problem.

Millions????
Everyday???
At this alleged rate, you will have no media at all within a few months.
Your problem will be solved.
Then, you can listen to the TrumpNewsNetwork 24/7.


Trump is asking if the people would like real world, true news stories that reflect actual events and not just biased narratives.

Is that what he's doing?
I thought he was just whining and tweeting idiotic crap.
Glad to know he's got a real purpose instead of just being a buffoon.

More and more people are responding, "Yes, please!".

Millions a day, or so I've been told.

Again with the Twain quotes, eh?
Mark Twain is also credited with this quote..."Never pick a fight with people who buy ink by the barrel".
Which won't be a problem for The Donald much longer since the media----according to you---is practically defunct.

and you are in denial. You can't wake up in the morning and read about that day's idiotic, insulting or merely factually challenged tweet and think this is normal.

You can't think that it is normal for #45 to know no detail at all for about his party's health plan and act like he's merely a bystander and not the person who is supposed to be providing leadership. Stating that it will be terrific, it would be cheaper, cover more, and everyone would get a pony -- while also not knowing what is really in it.

Its actually the Trump supporters that have little but "hope".... the "hope" this will all go away. It very likely will not...and more likely will not end well for Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, the Trump presidency has become impotent. It can't get anything done. It has zero credibility at home and abroad. OK, it has 40% credibility at home.

You do realize I was responding directly to a poster who for 6 months treated us to a daily assertion that Hillary absolutely positively would be our next President?

Trump's on the run? In your (and Real Clear Politics) dreams. Cutesy folksy cartoons notwithstanding. All the rhetoric is doing is keeping alive the top 100 reasons why no one should ever vote Democratic again.

Do you honestly believe there is nothing to the current special investigation of Trump, his campaign and Russia? That it is all just noise?

Do you believe that the Russians attempted to meddle in our elections? If not, why not? What do you know that is different than the overwhelming opinion of the intelligence community?

Given that we do know that the Russians meddled AND that many Trump election officials had financial ties to Russians with influence, don't you want to know what each of these people (Flynn, Kushner, Manafort and others) were doing with the Russians AND whether there was any opportunity for them to influence Trump (and therefore) US policy in a matter that would be consistent with their personal interests vis-a-vis the Russians)?

Who's who in Trump-Russia saga - CNNPolitics.com


Don't you want to better understand the nature and extent of the Russian attack our elections? Don't you want Trump fully vindicated of any and all reasonable suspicion that his election was less than on the up and up? Don't you want to know the truth?

While I have my suspicions as to the truth here, I don't know. Don't you want me to know that truth so that we can substitute truth for suspicion in future debates? Don't you think that American history demands that the truth be known and well disseminated to the American public? Even if you don't want to know the truth, most people (78%) do..., making this discussion somewhat moot as pursuit of the truth, at least at this writing, is happening.

Yes, Andrew McCarthy is a well documented nay-sayer of the election investigations. He shamelessly carries water for the Trump administration. Would you like me to counter with a well documented liberal that thinks Trump was elected by the Russians? Would that balance the argument? (though I appreciate you bringing something to the table)

The investigation is much more than about collusion within the election. Though, there was an obvious attitude of collusion

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/28/us/politics/donald-trump-russia-clinton-emails.html

Interesting side question raised in that link: "...How does Hillary get national security briefings when she exposed her email....." Well, how did we give a Russian paid agent national security briefings... how inept is the Trump administration to not know this about Flynn before they hired him. The concern about Hillary was that she MAY have exposed SOME top secret info to hacking.... Trump allowed a Russian paid agent to HAVE ALL national security information.
...

... In the end, I think we are going to learn that Trump's (and Kushner's) financial fortune is very much at the whim of Russian financiers... and thus he will get hung on emoluments.... but, that is my theory

Yes. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?

Russians had an interest in out elections, just as every country capable of doing so have an interest in other countries. US included. Iran, Cuba, Brexit, Israel, to name a few. That does not mean that Trump had anything to do with it.

That "overwhelming opinion of our intelligence community" turned out to be not 17, but 3, departments, and not so overwhelming at that.

Let's see, Mr. Trump is the subject of a federal investigation that may imperil his presidency.

He has NO accomplishments legislatively, there is no international direction one can look and find a loyal ally, and jobs are flowing out of the country.

Of course Trump is attacking the press! He has nothing else on which he can claim victory without being laughed at by everyone but the Donnie Cool Aid Drinkers.

You know he's not going to want to discuss Carrier, and no wonder. HE certainly doesn't want to talk about "the wall", "the ban" or "destroying Obamacare Day One!"

It's FAIL across the board, he has nothing to crow about but his hatred for those who disagree with him.
