You've avoided this before - but let's try again. Find a MSM site that you think distorted the story.

No thanks Hexx, I'll take your earlier advice and just shut up as you always get hostile as soon as you are presented with an opinion you disagree with. It is pointless to try and debate you. I couldn't convince you even if I tried.

Is that perhaps because you can't?

Brilliant.

Yeah but you don't even try and find evidence - for anyone!.
How very unreasonable of people to expect it.

The press coverage of Trump is no more scandalous or sensational than other presidents or regimes. If there is a greater level of leaks currently it is probably because of concerns about the subject in question and his attitude to the intelligence community.

All the press (left and right) must either operate by some appropriate norms or you live with the consequences. Trump's issue is not with biased reporting, it's with reporting that's not biased for him.

The problem here is that most decent world leaders actually try and take time to make sure that statements they make aren't obvious bollocks that can be shown to be so with a 1 minute internet search (Trump doesn't seem to realise tv news stations have interns who do that sort of stuff all day long so are quite good at it) and try and give accurate information.
They also don't tend to react like babies when a reporter simply points out that he's given false information and it usually just ends in a retraction and clarification and we can see that any misinformation was a genuine mistake and life goes on but with this administration every question is seen as a personal attack and is handled as such.

There's almost no chance we can get through the next 4 years in the same way without the media being shackled massively which is surely against the constitution or the President being impeached or just resigning in a massive strop and blaming all his troubles on the global media who obviously just hate him.

Nearly every story I read these days from a mainstream news site requires you to really look into it and do your own fact checking because chances are there will be a level of bullshit creating a slanted narrative.

That's not what is happening here, sure media needs to be more accurate, but right now you have the press of the world calling out The President of the USA as having colluded with the Russia government, he didn't even record his call to Putin, which is shocking. The media are trying to actually protect the people in this instance and are fact checking with people inside the White House, Trump even said the leaks are real, but then deflects that with cries of 'Fake News'. Trump is turning the people against the media to further his agendas, he realises he can't control the media so instead he discredits it. It so close to what Hitler did with the German media in 1933 it's almost unreal.

The narrative Trump is trying to tell the people is that the leakers are bad and the media are bad and that he is the good guy in all this. Which anyone with half a brain can see he is clearly not a good guy and clearly not the right person for the job.

Isn't it bit scary things are being leaked which might have huge impact on any decisions made ? Do you blame him that he doesn't record anything anymore due to all these leaks ? Conversations between us and Australia are one of those . Those leaks are illegal and media is putting a spin on it . The leaks are real but the news is fake makes a lot of sense. The leak happened but half of what is being reported is fake because they actually don't have actual proof besides knowing about the leak

Yeah the old "you prove me wrong" argument. The classic resort of the desperate.

At least he's advocating for the boosting of CNN's ratings.

They didn't hang Flynn out to dry for no reason, the leaks are worrying for Trump and Russia, they are not worrying for anybody else on this planet. The leaks are real and the content of them is real, but instead of being forthright with anything he says 'fake news' as if that's a qualifier. If the news was fake, his team should have somebody out there explaining exactly what has happened between this US government and Russia prior to his inauguration. Even his own VP is distancing himself from all of this and Pence is a piece of gooseberry fool.

They've been so quick with alternative facts, but now? Brush off what could be considered treason with 'fake news' no real rebuttal just 'fake news'.

The 9/11 families really have stuck to the story amazingly well.
