I did no such thing. The obvious point was that bad people sometimes do good things, and you would see that if you didn't just decide that you were going to dislike everything I write because you falsely assume that I like Trump. Brian put fake news in the thread title I'm guessing to show that these people in news are good moral people, or at least that this lady is. The video shows no such thing. The video proves nothing. That's why Bin Laden was brought up. Mainstream media, who helped bury the guy I liked, Bernie, have been owned by the MIC, CIA, and big business long before Trump was relevant in politics. They are there to push a narrative and they burried Bernie for a reason. They are there to push endless war and corrupt, corporate politicians. Of course they are right about Trump much of the time. Trump is a circus clown and is terrible for the US and the world, but that doesn't make the people who work in MSM good people. One doesn't have anything to do with the other.
Yes I did put "fake News" in the title because 45 doesn't simply address one specific story or one reporter, he has taken a very dangerous political tactic in carpet bombing all media in general. It is dangerous for a politician, much less a head of state in the free west to do that. It is up to the private sector and media to criticize each other, having a politician vilify in a carpet bombing manor are what despots do.
A sane politician says, "This particular story is wrong and here is why."
45 vilifies media in general terms, just like Goebbles did for Hitler.
Don't make this about the free press, this is about HIM and what he is doing that can undermine checks on power.
