New York Times headline says Trump Aides had REPEATED contacts with Russia in 2016

The thing that actually got me thinking about how many years the Donald might have was something John Oliver said to Stephen Colbert. He said something to the effect of "facts don't matter in Trump's universe, so why should numbers?" I was one of those cautious fence-sitters during the transition. I was honestly unsure what Trump would do once in office. Now that he's actually doing everything he said he would do, I think I'm justified in being terrified.

@IvanKaramazov: you are indeed justified.

He not only has surrounded himself with conspiracy theory believers. He has in the Oval Office conspiracy theory AUTHORS!

100% in agreement.

And that would go for whomever would be President.

Good point 👍

Very interesting point!

The New York Times won't always be right. They try to be, but they can't always be.

But they do cover news. They don't invent it, as does Alex Jones, InfoWars, many alt right sites, and many propagandist blog sites.

I read many sites.....right, left, moderate to get an overall view or take the temperature. I'm not married to any one of them, but when you source many of them, you start to see through the fog of disinformation, and discern intent through bias.

I will continue to trust the NYT over Rush Limbaugh and most of Fox News, though I do miss the intellect of Megan Kelly there. Biased, sure, but extremely smart, and very interesting.

@CassandraFemale17: Oh yes, they do invent it. Just like every other one out there.

@Booyeah: I think some people do go to journalism school and learn their craft, and commit to trying to put out real news.

Not all news sites are angry despotic rants and raves with an audience of Coors Light drinking trailer park dwellers
