CNN President throws a veiled threat at President Trump and America. Using propaganda to take down your own country is disgusting. #FUKKCNN

Even Bell ExpressVuis getting into the act....
I get an email from bell yesterday that a new Bell vibe app is available that will give me access to all my subscribed channels, on my phone or my tablet..
When I installed the app, I noticed that Fox News channel was missing while I had full access t CNN, CBC and MSNBC....
To be fair though, a few of other favorite channels were missing from the list....
And when I called the guy seemed more interested in selling me a sports package, than addressing the problem....
His broken English didn't help either....
I finally convinced him to forward my problem to the technical department...
Next time I have to call them I will press "2" for french......

I'll bet that Madam Abe got all of her shots first, before she took a chopper ride with Melanoma.
Mainstream media errors in the Trump era: Your catalogue of the media's bias-fueled failure-fest
Hahahahaha...heroes they are...*breath*...hahahahahaha....*whew*
sure, running forward with gasoline and matches perhaps. less like firefighters... more like arsonists.
anyway kids:
The press has a problem, and it seems to be getting worse. Whether through bias, sloppiness, or sheer panic, the mainstream media has dropped its standards since President Trump was sworn in.
Rather then adjusting adeptly to Trump's easy relationship with the truth and his tendency to abuse members of media, by dialing up their standards, a significant number of journalists have tripped over themselves recently to repeat every bit of gossip and half-cocked rumor involving Trump and his administration.
The rush to get these supposed scoops out in the open, whether in print, on television or on social media, has, of course, produced a rash of shoddy reporting.
Now this isn't to say that all coverage of this new administration has been slipshod. Rather, it's to say that there has been a disturbing and unusually large number of stories that have turned out either to be overhyped, inconclusive, half-true or flat-out incorrect. There have also been a number of reports whose sourcing is so thin, that to believe them would be to take a major leap of faith.
The one thing that these reports have in common is that they fail to provide readers with a clear and indisputably accurate picture of what is really going on at White House. The press's most important role is to shine a light on those in power. Bad reporting only muddies the waters, and it gives powerful people more room to do as they please. After all, whom are you going to believe: the guy at the top or the newsroom with a recent track record of botched reporting?
We didn't get to the point where people find the press less credible than the Trump administration by some freak accident.
We're keeping a database of all these media misfires as they occur, and we'll be updating this list whenever some new bit of crummy journalism appears. Depending on whether reporters settle down and treat their supposed scoops with greater care, this database may turn into a four- or eight-year project.
Starting in order of most recent, here is our best effort at a complete list of the shoddiest media misfires since the Jan. 20 inauguration:

I think we can all agree that there has been plenty of fake news coming from both sides. Fake news is usually intentional, although in some cases it is the result of honest mistakes. But lately we are seeing an entirely new type of untrue news. I call it Imaginary News. Here’s a good example from the Huffington Post.
I watched President Trump’s press conference with the alleged “meltdown,” and all I saw was Trump talking the way he normally talks. The Huffington Post watched and apparently saw some other set of circumstances. That means we have three possibilities to consider:
1. Huffington Post saw the situation accurately while I was hallucinating.
2. My version of events is accurate and Huffington Post hallucinated.
3. Both the Huffington Post and I were hallucinating.

You might recall that the Huffington Post made a big deal of refusing to cover Trump on their political pages when he first announced his candidacy. They only carried him on their entertainment pages because they were so smart they knew he could not win.
Then he won.
have a trumptastic day.
So, if the report on the scourge of fake news is a fake, does that mean that there really is no "fake news"?
Does Trump know that these canal building contracts went to foreigners?
some dandy's on this list kids:

Who is going to invent the scorecard for all the various headlines? Most are solved within 7 days but it hardly ever turns out to be who was originally to blame so that amount of delay is needed. True or false (and why)
How about it get a rating from (1-9) based on this scale??
9 Signs You
(in part)
width: 0px; "> </1. They undermine your faith in your grasp of reality. Emotional manipulators are incredibly skilled liars. They insist an
incident didn’t happen when it did, and they insist they did or said something when they didn’t. The trouble is they’re so
good at it that you end up questioning your own sanity. To insist that whatever caused the problem is a figment of your
imagination is an extremely powerful way of getting out of trouble.
2. Their actions don’t match their words. Emotional manipulators will tell you what you want to hear, but their actions
are another story. They pledge their support, but, when it comes time to follow through, they act as though your
requests are entirely unreasonable. They tell you how lucky they are to know you, and then act as though you’re a
burden. This is just another way of undermining your belief in your own sanity. They make you question reality as you
see it and mold your perception according to what is convenient to them.
