OP pretty much is repeating the Trump talking point, that no matter how many Pulitzers the "mainstream" (aka: news that actually prints non flattering facts about Trump) they are all political hacks that can't be trusted, so yeah we are....

Those are not Trump talking points. They've been said for decades by countless people, including Noam Chomksy. The OP mentioned both left and right wing papers. Would you think the sky was red because Trump said it was blue? Just because trump has hair on his head doesn't make hair wrong.

It seems you're not managing to even read or respond to any of the points of my posts above which is all about concerns that Trump keeps spouting "fake news" to try his hand at becoming a tin pot dictator. No matter, have a good one.

Sure, I'd prefer not to have discussions that go in circles. I didn't respond to your points because you changed the subject to Trump. We aren't talking about Trump or "fake news". You claimed the OP was using Trump talking points, which I disagree with.

Why should I waste time arguing about Trump when you and I most likely agree on his idiocy?
