Fake news

Post by Peydirt18 »

I recognize that each news outlet has an agenda. However, Mr. Trump's vitriol against the Fourth Estate is very troubling to me. What do you think? Many believe that by ruining the credibility of the media, Trump has convinced far too many that he is the only source of "true" information. It reminds me, to some degree, of Nixon's "silent majority" approach.

I think the technique has worked on some, but don't yet sense any overwhelming rush to condemn the press in the larger public.

If Trump just makes shit up and spits it out on the fly ... then has Trump not become the fake news that he so adamantly rails against?

I still trying to wrap my mind around whether it is strategic, to persuade or distract from reality, or just the rantings of a crazy and delusional person. I think I'm leaning towards the latter, but really, can he be that damn dumb? To know he has the nuclear codes is frightening.
