@bijouxbroussard: true true but which one is the least 🤔 most professional

@dark548: That's the problem, though; whichever one I might name who seems balanced to me, someone else will immediately say, "no, they're biased"---and vice versa. So there's not much point.

@bijouxbroussard: true true but there is gotta be some form of objective measurement of professional news reporting
bijouxbroussard · F
@dark548: There once was, and it was based upon the facts. But we have a situation now where anytime a news organization reports anything unflattering about this sitting president, he dismisses it as "fake news". He's accused some of the most well-respected news sources both here and abroad of deliberately lying about him, with nothing to substantiate those claims. And his supporters, (the same people who believed everything these very news agencies reported about Hillary's emails), are willing to accept that now they're not telling the truth about Trump. So...(shrugs). 🤔

@bijouxbroussard: claims should have evidence to back it up

@bijouxbroussard: politics are so polarized at the moment, unfortunately

@dark548: Yes, claims should. But that's not the way Trump operates. He makes the accusation first. Then he backpedals, denies he made the claim, or when proven wrong, blames someone else for having given him "misinformation". That was his M.O. back even before his campaign, and it continues.

@bijouxbroussard: Trump has serious mental issues, irregardless of partisanship.

@dark548: Well, yes.
