You think he will be an equal denigrator of things he agrees with and disagrees with. Extreme naivety.

You were just after saying that CNN is finished because Trump doesn't like their viewpoint.

Good summary, just added bold...

Who checks the journalist's name when they read an article?
Who remembers who wrote what yesterday or earlier?
How many journalists use pseudonyms anyway?
Who knows what the reputation and credibility of any particular journalist is?

The overwhelming majority of people stay at the macro level of the name of the media outlet!
Who even knows the name of the journalist who published the Buzzfeed story, no cheating now

The intelligence operative is claimed to be ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele.
He handed over the stuff mid last year to the people who hired him. I assume it was not used because of the verification issue.

He has a solid reputation and is not known as someone who fabricates!

Except, it's not wrong.

And further, it's irrelevant.

Tom

He was relying on second hand sources i.e. he hasn't been to Russia in over 20 years.

Hillary must've been a real shitbag to lose to a bloke this bad eh?

Nonsense.

Framing is rampant along the spectrum of thinking.

I've heard many opinions (not facts) I this topic, but this is the first time I've heard someone call it irrelevant. It's certainly not irrelevant to millions of Bangladeshis who will soon be underwater.

The consensus of the huge majority of scientists on this topic is overwhelming agreement that humans have an effect on climate change. What do you know that they don't?

More saliently, if you believe the jury is still out and we don't know if we have an effect or not, surely the sensible thing to do is to stop anyway until we can prove that we don't have an effect, before it is irreversible?

And who's now gone into hiding.

No, CNN is not finished, it was only discredited. They may see management changes, maybe.

CNN is really just a content delivery platform. It appears to be franchisable.

Are you thinking perhaps the US is a totalitarian country? I get the sense you don't really understand how these things work.

Unlikely to see management changes.
Breitbart has been discredited many times but their chairman still manages to be Trump's chief strategist.
He has said he will resign from Breitbart but like his master he may found it is a step too far

Time Warner owns CNN. Time Warner needs Trump's favor. Chances are someone at CNN is being raked over the coals.

Why does TW need Trump's favor? I'm genuinely curious.


ETA : answered my own question. Because of the ATT thing. Ok. Maybe so.

So the USA isn't a totalitarian country, but the media needs the favor of the man in charge.

Please start making some sense.

Actually, I think it's a business thing. AT&T and Time Warner want to merge and PEOTUS has spoken out against it. I guess TW wants to butter him up so he'll give his blessing. Usually, Presidents neither comment on such things nor do they advertise companies (like LL Bean), but all bets are off with this.....

The sad thing is she isn't, she is actually a very good politician and diplomat, you should check her resume if you want to see someone who was actually fit to be the President of Murica. Somewhere along the way, could've bin the Ruskies or the Alt-Right, a picture of her as some sort of evil wench emerged. Also you just need to see what sort of person the average Trump supporter is, i.e IQ, level of education, political and religious beliefs, and age, they all paint a rather idiotic picture. Again trump won, but not on actual numbers of votes! and also because a large demographic proportion of those eligible to vote abstained, as they could see neither of the candidates as representational of their own needs. Its very sad, but other factors include info bubbles and social media allowing the dissemination of fake news.

Tom, mankind is unquestionably responsible to an acceleration of climate change. green house gases are a prime example, but don't let that get in the way of a good jaunt around the Ticiner alps on yer bike, at least in the future there'll be a lot less snow and for shorter periods of time so the bike touring season will be much longer.

Because Trump can prevent a TimeWarner AT&T merger.

Makes sense yet?

Obviously, your concept of the role of news media is really for some other distant land or culture.

"at least in the future there'll be a lot less snow and for shorter periods of time" Nobody can forecast the effects of global warming on our climate; could be less snow or more snow.
Depends on what happens to the Gulf Stream, the Jet stream &&&&

So one man can prevent business mergers. Not totalitarian at all then.

Thanks for clearing that up.
