My family met my boyfriend for the 1st time... Someone please tell me why my mom thought it was appropriate to ask my boyfriend if he's an "illegal"?

Because he's not white and he was born in another country she automatically assumed he's here illegally... He had to correct her that he's a US citizen and has been for over ten years now to which she told him, "Oh then Trump loves you". Only my mom... Can I get a new mom please?

Forgive your mom. Maybe she just watches to much Fox News.

@SimplyTracie yeah, sometimes I watch American news just for a laugh. the first time I watched American news I thought "are reporters allowed to be so biased, aren't they suppose to just report facts?". the news in other countries is much more objective.

@reflectingmonkey I don’t know what exactly you watched don’t you think being too objective can be too passive?

I love investigative reporting. The deeper they dig the better. Find the truth wherever it may be found. 😂

@SimplyTracie accepting a reporter's opinion is passive, hearing the facts and making your own opinion is better or else it just become brainwashing propaganda, like in the states if you ask which news is better democrats will unanimously say CNN and republicans will unanimously say fox, each have their own propaganda feeding them a biased version of things.

@reflectingmonkey You’re referring to opinion journalism. I’m talking about investigative reporting. There are no opinions, just news.

Now, if you’re saying that certain networks do not report Trump saying something stupid, I would agree but it is just news. Just some are more or less picky on what is being reported. That’s all.
Example: Breitbart News Network.

@reflectingmonkey This is a video by the Australian PBS. Are they objective enough?

They don’t share their opinion to brainwash anyone. My opinion is this:
Trump is thankful for himself.
