When you repeat Trump, you help Trump. You do this by spreading his message wide and far.

Nobody knows this better than Trump. Trump, as a media master, knows how to frame a debate. When he picks a fight, he does so deliberately. He tweets or says outrageous things, knowing they will be repeated millions and millions of times. When the news media and Democrats repeat Trump’s frames, they are strengthening those frames by ensuring that tens of millions of Americans hear them repeated over and over again.


Bad healine to this post. Better headline: "While Fox continues their lies, Trump tweets again about infotainment news networks"

The press should make a deal. They will agree to stop lying about Trump when Trump stops lying.

I'm sorry, but I fail to see how there is any bias there when the are actually fucking filming you and everything you are saying. That is not "fake news". That is just reporting you as you are, you stupid fat jackass.

This man is clearly not well, and he will spin himself into a lather. He will go off big time, he will blame the Democrats, Hillary, President Obama.

He is not a well man........his cheese is falling off his cracker!
