Where Trump Gets His News
 
His accusatory Saturday morning tweet-storm came from a Mark Levin talk radio rant picked up and repeated by Breitbart. Now, it seems he sits in front of the TV for up to 2 hours in the morning tweeting out his feelings about the latest "news" being covered on Fox & Friends.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...x-and-friends/

Might it not be better that he gets his information from his daily morning brief, rather than from the most insipidly stupid "news" show on TV? In his eyes, Mark Levin, Breitbart and Fox & Friends are real news and the Washington Post is fake news. I guess he shares that view with our own Whell.

You don't have a lot of room to talk Finn, since you consider the Washington Post, which is owned by the 5th richest dude in the world, with a net work of $73 Billion and a $600 million dollar connection to the CIA as your "Gold Standard":rolleyes:

So, you're OK with your Trumpenfuhrer getting his news from talk radio, Breitbart and Fox & Friends? Considering the "news" links you've posted, I'm guessing you're OK with it.

There are no good sources.

They are all biased and they all have an agenda.

I get my news from a plethora of sources. :D

Then draw my own conclusions based on my own bias and agenda.;)

They are not all equally bad. The WashPost and The Economist, for example, have far more credibility and journalistic ethics than Breitbart and NewsMax, for example.

The Jimmy Dore Show and Caitlin Jonestone's blog are two of the best sources for the truth.

They are biased but nothing at all like that blatant propaganda rag, The Washington Post.

A comedian and a Putin-hugging ex-pat are your favored news sources? That speaks volumes as to why you're so feckin' misinformed (and angry about it).

As i said before, the CIA needs to make the daily brief into a video. THEN trump would look at it.
