Still getting your news ...
Still getting your news from the MSM?
The following story only kicked up since the 4th.
It's about Trump's claim that GM was selling Mexican made Cruse cars in the US - and of course the denial by GM. The MSM, of course, picked up GM's denial and claimed Trump was lying.
I'll let you read the linked story.
"BUSTED: @GM Sells Mexico-Made Cars To Ohio @GM Factory Workers, LIED About It To Trump & Public With MSM Cover"
http://gotnews.com/busted-gm-sells-m...lic-msm-cover/
"...It appears that in the lying mainstream media’s rush to fact-check Trump and call him hypocritical, no media outlet bothered to fact-check GM as well. So, who did the fact-checking work that the MSM didn’t bother doing?
Auto enthusiast and Twitter user E.W. Niedermeyer, that’s who. Niedermeyer brought the GM and Trump saga up on Thursday, January 5th in a series of tweets that began innocently enough:...."

I dont know why people really refer to it as the mainstream media any longer...
MSM has meant Marxist State Media since they jumped in bed with the Clintons in the 1990s
I'm sure George Snuffalupagus will clear it up monday morning on GMA

I strictly read and watch Alex Jones as my main news source....  
I have gotten to the point where I don't watch any of them for the news any more. I pretty much use the Internet so that I can pick my poison and not have it spoon fed to me too much at a time.
It's sad that we can't have any news channels that we feel we can have as an unbiased news outlet where we receive news and not opinion.

I watch RT news when I want an unbiased review of what's happening in the U.S.
(Should that be pink?)

Not necessarily. 
Edit to add: Am also one of those that tries to use multiple sources; quite often the usual salad bar stinks to high heaven. A variety not only gives the chance for variety, it allows a bit more for fact-checking. Many countries have streaming feeds, English-language sites (for the mono-lingual heathen) and some still even utilize...
...short-wave.

That must be why the ODNI & the rest of the DC monolith are so grumpy - they ain't been gettin' their waaavves, man. Here's RT's take on it; pretty spot-on imo.
The Mrs. likes hearing about different stuff and thinks the backyard that looks like a clandestine antenna farm isn't a bad thing. Besides, I can get EVERY Cubs game whether the TV network jerks cooperate or not.

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly...
Between propaganda on the right vs. left or capitalism vs. socialism or whatever the news story of the day. I try to seek out opposing views and assume the truth lies somewhere in the middle. When something piques my interest I'll dig deeper for the truth.
Hell, any more I don't even think Walter Cronkite was all that honest and Dan Rather was proven to be a liar on several different occasions.
I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!
I just watch the "news" for the pretty girls and network porn.
P.S. I try to control the news bias in my home so my wife and kid get brainwashed with a conservative slant. So far it's worked, I've converted a liberal and raising an independent thinker.

Still getting your intel from the CIA?
Still getting your intel from the CIA?
Here's the background on the story of the Putin boys going to blackmail Trump.
"4Chan Claims To Have Fabricated Anti-Trump Report As A Hoax"
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-0...mp-report-hoax
"In a story that is getting more surreal by the minute, a post on 4Chan now claims that the infamous "golden showers" scene in the unverified 35-page dossier, allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer, was a hoax and fabricated by a member of the chatboard as "fanfiction", then sent to Rick Wilson, who proceeded to send it to the CIA, which then put it in their official classified intelligence report on the election.
Here is 4Chan's explanation of how the story came to light: ...."

It cant be a hoax... George Snuffalupagus and the rest of the crack team of top investigative journalists ran a segment on this on GMA this morning.
GMA only runs fact. They would never run a news segment on an unsubstantiated story.

Thanks sir. Sadly this, as a practice, is not surprising.

That's what you get when "Journalists" become Jackals.
