I'm really curious if anybody thinks that MSNBC and CNN are actually legitimate news sources. This while fake media nonsense is a result of fake news covering its ass

Look, there's a difference between a biased news source and a legitimate news source. Whether you like it or not, CNN and MSNBC are legitimate. The easiest way to figure it out is to look into their sources, or, do additional research about the subject to find the facts they're working with. You'll find that both CNN and MSNBC will generally pass that test.

The President himself however? Fails that test the majority of the time. And when the media calls him.out on his bullshit (as they should) he acts like they fabricated it all. And people actually believe him. It's sad...

What sources do you consider legitimate?

I would guess anyone that says something that has a "truthy" ring to it and agrees with their own prejudice.

Leftists are so focused on social issues which they attribute to racism that they redefined to equal predjudice with power. They see every problem we have a direct result of racism, and therefore see racism everywhere. The financial media for the most part is supportive of the new policies but the corporate controlled media seems to focus on small issues and blows them up while ignoring all the good things. Plus the term fake news kind of comes from David Brock of media matters who along with Soros who helps fund it are organizing many of large protests, and news directives and hit pieces. I'm unfazed by it, and really the alternative media which covers the rest of the story the MSM isn't focused on is a better place to go.

My IRA is looking great. Stock market is up over 2 trillion, small business and consumer confidence is mainly up. Of course the democrats in these polls for some reason think the economy is getting worse or the outlook is worse. When they stop complaining, give Trump a chance to rebuild, get business to start hiring, start building factories etc they will start to understand Obama's policies were mediocre, not great. Still there are a lot of problems, 20 trillion in debt and other bubbles out there, but as long as some policies can be reversed that restricted business growth more people will be back to work, which will cure some of the social ills the left talks about. If the left can shut up for a second and stop thinking everyone is oppressed but white males, maybe we can get together and start to rebuild.

So you aren't completely afraid of the complete disaster he is making of the world. His utter incompetence and ceaseless lying, his strange attitude to russia etc etc..

What credentials do you have to question their veracity? What are your ideal "legitimate" sources?

Why should we believe some schlub online more than sources which we can, you know, verify by cross-checking against other sources?

I am sure that the Trumpists (Trumpkins?) would be delighted to know that the rest of the world is looking on in horror at Trump and what is happening in America. They'd probably put it down to Trump making America great again. I don't think they have the slightest clue though that the rest of the world also considers Trump to be a complete laughing stock.

But in most cases it is the reverse. They fabricate stories and Trump calls them out on their bs. I do not understand how you are getting the opposite opinion. 

For example, they use an earlier shot during his inauguration from PBS to say that not many people were present instead of showing the later shot that demonstrated otherwise. A complete and total lie considering they never brought up the timescale. 

They did the same with pussy-gate and every other story while ignoring Hillarys KKK affiliation. 

How on earth do you expect me to take credit in your ability to tell fake news from real news? Ignoring something does not making it fake nor does lying turn to truth. At this point you might as well be a Christian.

Research and a bit of article digging. Breitbart does a pretty good job when they aren't being asinine for shits and giggles.

Evidence required for:

- Hillary's KKK connection
+ Using the guy who recanted the Klan, worked for better civil rights for Blacks and earned an NAACP award for his efforts as evidence is not valid considering his deeds and recanting of the Klan

- pussygate being a lie
+ was there not audio evidence?
+Yes there was: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8wM248Wo54U

- the inauguration shot being a lie
+Moving the goalposts by claiming "the time wasn't specified" is not valid. Present evidence that the photo was substantially misleading.

Compared to what?  Fox "News"?

Wait.  Breitbart?

Seriously?

The Onion is more of a legit news site than either of the two I've mentioned.
