BTW, it's very easy these days to get free access to REAL news. Your public library likely allows access via its web site to the NYT; just log in to the library, then create a NYT account via the library's site. Works for all libraries in California since the beginning of this year, assume other states (at least those which actually desire an educated populace, meaning not MS or AL, etc.), will also give this free access.
The Flipster app, also via your library, provides free access to The Atlantic, The New Yorker, The Week, and others. I use it on my ChromeBox with a 27" monitor, works well.
Also, for just $3.99/mo, Amazon Prime customers have full access to the WaPo.
Staying informed with accurate, factual, Pulitzer-prize-winning news has never been easier or cheaper. Sad that Trumpkins only access Faux "News" and Limblow, when they could easily be getting the facts instead.

Fox and Rush are the only things they think are factual. All the others are "fake news."

The 'Real News' people helped Trump win selection as the Republican candidate by giving him maximum exposure to the detriment of the other candidates.
They thought that he would be easy meat for Clinton.
But alas what a miscalculation.
Such media have failed to see that a good section of the public has discerned their shenanigans and also their selectivity on the news.

You really don't know the difference between news and opinion, do you?

The shaping and selectivity of news make opinion.

The Washington Post's Fact Checker database has been updated with President Trump's weekend remarks. He has surpassed 10,000 false claims during his presidency. For the past seven months, he has averaged 23 lies a day.

Can you imagine how tediously bored that fact checker must be?
Who independently verifies the Fact Checker analysis?

If you saw our ad on Tucker Carlson’s show, you’re right to be upset. We are too. While we did place our ad with Fox, we did not know it would air on a show so repugnant and at odds with our mission and values. We are blacklisting the show going forward. We are deeply sorry.
