MSM is losing its relevance as the order of things is taken beyond the influence MSM purports to broker. History suggests that Trump's presidency needs more time in before that'll happen, though.

And how slickly interjected 'rhetoric' is applied to further the agenda. What does Cain have to do with any of that? It's not a racial issue, is it?
I don't recall that conversation regards your working in Thailand - might have been in the EF chatroom. If that's what I actually said, then I'm glad I was wrong. Not sure how any of that is relevant to this discussion, though.
Again, I don't know why race is even an issue. Mainstream media loves breaking things down along those lines and seeing the division it causes. It's good for ratings I guess. Shaping thought rather than informing it.
BruceP wrote:Trump's dressing down of CNN's Whitehouse Correspondent was an affront to the spirit of inclusiveness that is part and parcel of an open press conference. But not out of line considering that particular correspondent's overbearing and rude insistence that their question be addressed while he, Trump, was recognizing someone else's question first. Also, given the nature of the question they were attempting to ask, it seemed as though the CNN guy was goading in an attempt to illicit exactly the response he got. Like poking a dog with a stick until the dog comes back and then it's like, "See?...vicious dog!"
As far as his dismissal of that particular 'news' agency's integrity, and its collective loyalty to objective, unbiased journalism, CNN flushed themselves down the toilet a long time ago and have, since last year, embroiled themselves in a counter-campaign of character assassination, fake polls, and everything else within their means to shape narrative and voter perception in an attempt to influence the election. Their lies of omission, creative editing, exclusion of counterpoints, etc etc etc...has put them in the same bucket as buzzfeed, national enquirer, and other fake news outlets.
Serious question, do you have anything else to add because all of your posts are basically the same exact post just re-worded in a different way.

Then how is it that all answers on all things media and all things Trump?
You are completely entitled to your opinion. My point is whether you are aware of it or not you keep bringing the same thing to the table.
