people trust news media to tell the truth over trump: 52% to 37%

http://www.pollingreport.com/trump_ad.htm






Still, the Conservative Alternate Reality is alive and well among the Republican Faithful. 78% of these suckers believe Trump vs only 13% trusting news media.



This makes making any twisted sense of Republican Suckers really difficult. During the campaign I'm sure something like 95% of Republican Suckers bought the Biggest actual Fake News story ... that Hillary Clinton revealed classified information in some of the 30,000 emails that Comey had reviewed, after the fact.

M$M did it's part by not informing people that when questioned by Rep Matt Cartwright, Comey had to admit that NOT ONE of the emails in question had Classified Information header on it ... as is required by law. Comey further agreed it would have been a reasonable inference for Sec Clinton to make that the emails, therefor did not have any classified information in them.




Trump was happy to use the Fake News promoted (or not debunked) by M$M that Sec Clinton had recklessly handled classified information in emails (none of which were initiated by Sec Clinton, all were sent to, or forwarded to, her) to his advantage in the campaign. Now,when M$M report on his declarations Trump says it's all "fake" news.

Is there some form of brain worm going around. If so, I hope I never get it.

Really fucked with their reality. They're spending every waking moment constructing and rationalizing a new, alternate one. I'm guessing it's monumentally exhausting. And so futile.
