Even after your 2nd attempt, you've failed to clarify it (other than repeating the general complaint that the Meeja is creating fake news - you know, that monolithic entity which everyone knows is playing evil games).
Maybe some examples could clarify what you mean. But I've already asked for them and got nada. But why let a good conspiracy theory get bogged down in facts.
I suppose you could have put forward FoxNews coverage of Trump's claim that Obama was born overseas and the insinuation that he's actually a Muslim who spent his time trying to help the Muslim terrorists win. Or maybe the Bowling Green Massacre. Or the fact that serious crime is the worst for 50 years (even though it isn't by a long shot). Etc. etc. Sorry to tar Trump with that - hope you forgive me.
Which is not to say that all media coverage is good. As I've noted, Brietbart, FoxNews and Alex Jones are real exponents of fake news. But to use them to beat quality journalists over the head is like saying that Carlton players are drug cheats because Essendon players were.
The part I find funny, is you believing I am standing up for Trump when I state this stuff.
The media, has and always be full of crap, and that dates back as far as the French revolution as far as I am concerned.
Or you can keep refuting my facts with the apparent straw mans argument you have created, and then attacked.
What I was hoping to highlight was that this couldn't be trumps playbook as it has been repeated throughout history.
He isnt the first, nor will he be the last. The next president will be attacked with the same bullcrap, as this one and the previous one before him.
As for me being at fault for not making things clearer, you cannot blame me for how you decided to respond to something I have written based on an assumption you have made. Particularly when you are the mayor of legal speak.
This is a conversational forum, not a place for people to provide a body of evidence to substantiate any point made.
