Yeah Snopes, a man and a woman deciding what’s true or not. Good times 

I figured I'd look it up.

John, Since your memory is so selective, ESPN is hosting a 8 for 8 special about the Obama administration. 

1. Fast and Furious 
2. Clinton Emails 
3. Solyndra
4. Benghazi
5. IRS Targeting 
6. VA Scandals 
7. NSA Spying Scandal 
8. Spying on journalists 

Ah yes, how could I forget all of those "scandals".  Especially Benghazi, yielding multiple Congressional investigations, at the cost of millions in taxpayer dollars, to eventually demonstrate... well, nothing, really.  

Except an ambassador and three others were killed while the Administration blatantly lied about the motives for the attack. Calls for help in the days and weeks prior went unanswered. Ammirite? #dontcallhillaryaftermidnight

Stop watching Fox News brother.  It's rotting your brain. 

I don’t need Snopes to try and discredit what I watched with my own eyes. Susan Rice and Hillary telling the American people that the attack was due to a video.

So you factchecked Snopes on Snopes?

Yes.  Glorious, isn't it?

Good ol’ honest mistake that caused the market to tank 300 points. I’m guessing that it wouldn’t be an honest mistake if it came from Fox News 

ABC should be accountable and for all I know they may lose viewers over this. Trump's daily foibles and outright lies seem to get a free pass from many. I prefer consistency with my moral outrage.

You must have just discovered that politicians tell tall tales. Last guy told real whoppers. You failed to noticed because you liked what you heard. Some of the whoppers were of real consequences, not about crowd size for example.  MSM are not real journalists. Don’t believe me, ask the people in a poll. Cats out the bag.

We've never had a liar in chief like this. Can we at least agree on that? I've split my ballot more than most on here, but I think it's almost impossible to consider yourself objective and not have some issues with Trump, his family and their character. i don't think the media can be blamed for everything.

Somehow snopes seemed to miss all of those nonexistent 'shovel ready' jobs that BHO promised....the billions that got handed out in exchange for political support
And, how did rahm emmanuel become mayor of chicago?  Through a fair and unbiased democratic process of course!

Not a scandal but BHO blackberry mike drop after reading trump tweet (at least ill go down as president)was the acme of arrogance.

Lest we forget the IRS targeting conservative groups and activism against 501 C3 approvals...yeah nothing to see here.   DEMS will never understand that they have Obama to blame for the election of trump...

Bho had the media protect him (Creepy Chris matthews and the thrill going up his leg) and this in and of itself is a scandal. And the media is working overtime to destroy trump and this will get him reelected.   

Yellen never once mentioned national debt trajectory while bho was prez and now that trump is in the white house she all of a sudden is awake at night?  Ok!

It’s funny but it seems to me that the folks primarily responsible for Trump are the citizens who voted for him in the primaries and the general election.   But let’s blame Obama too, sure, why not.

At least in the desire to blame Obama for Trump there is the tacit admission that Trump is pretty friggin terrible.  Better than nothing I guess.

Who are the “real journalists,” in your opinion?  

EDT: my guess is that the answer doesn’t include anyone who works at the WaPo or NYT.

Sometimes it’s not the actual people doing the work. It’s the people in charge. WaPo and NYT are total hacks. It’s real hard right now to figure things out in light of what we know. We do know that the media will lie and omit for the lefties. We must consider this when evaluating all stories. Context is critical. This whole Russia thing is somewhat hilarious. 

So... are there any folks you’d be willing to name that you consider “real journalists” ?  Or are you saying that even when those people write something, you never trust it anyway, since the powers that be are all in for the libtards?

EDT: as for Russia, there’s nothing hilarious about lying to the FBI.

He won't answer that question. I have asked at least a half dozen times in the last year or so which newspapers or cable news shows (Fox? OAN? MSNBC?), websites or other media outlets he reads/watches/listens to.

Crickets.

I'm guessing he just asks his Ouija board for insight.

I’ll just post a bunch of dumb twitter post. That’s cool! 

The problem with with stupid people is they tend to see crap on TV or read something in a paper and they never bother to ask why, how , etc. they just regurgitate the vomit. Context and motive are very important. I would never just read crap and think I knew anything. 

No, it’s quite clear that in your case, there’s no need to read anything to have confidence in making assertions.

Closing Gitmo on Day 1 in office... That was a good one.

Huh? I just know bs when I hear it. Pay attention son. 

Alright, then I’m sure you’ll be more than happy to share what you tend to read and watch in the way of news.  

Or... we’ll just plan on listening to the crickets again.

Whatever peaks my interest. Sometimes I’ll read an article just because I find the headline to be obviously false or sensationalized. Internet is big place these day don’t ya know.

This is not actually an answer.  It’s ok, we’ll just accept that for whatever reason you don’t want to be specific.  

I hear Infowars has some interesting headlines.
