    Sadly, the media is a disgrace anymore. That goes for left leaning or right leaning.

    It used to be that the left leaning media at least was honest and tried to be objective journalists, and left the editorializing to the editorializers.

    Watching CNN today and they're whining that Trump has found a way to go around them and speak directly to the people, especially using social media and his last TV appearance (press conference). Waaaaah, "we're the voice of the people", waaaaaah.

    At least they're finally outed.

    funny from someone who cuts and pastes media spin to support an agenda....fail..media is just a phone line really..you can screen your calls just by using an answering machine Denny..the fact is that making media outlets your adversary is just like saying the grocery store makes you buy gummy bears and pepsi...you don't need to buy them...you can buy an apple instead...choices. I take journalism one article at a time and filter it through my own values.....TV is the worst in my view.....figured out long ago you don't need to buy what they sell just because they're loud about it

    Wow, I really have a hard time reading that and understanding it.

    "The media is like a phone line." (SIC)

    And my linking to media articles is a fail?

    Do you not get that I am enjoying how butt hurt the sore loser media is?

    Twitter won him the election, he's not going to change. Clearly.

    He's already demonstrated far better governing skills than I imagined all along.

    It's ok to deny it. The proof is in the pudding.

    So far the market is going up, corporations are investing billions and committing to thousands of jobs in the US. I'm getting so sick of all this winning. I can't take anymore!

    Yep, but unfortunately that was the only sector that went up.

    Obamacare is a prime example of how failed "socialism" is. Millions lost their healthcare or had to pay a considerable amount more to give healthcare for others that couldn't afford it. MUST REPEAL!

    It needs fixed for sure but Obama admits that...first it needs to not be a requirement in order to fill out your income taxes period..
