    It is really pathetic just how TRUE some of you guys want these things to be. It's at the level of Flat Earth and such.

    I'm sorry, but this will not end well for you.

    Yeah Lanny Davis was the source for this "story", which is now pretty obviously "fake news". They should retract.

    The media... and Google search engines are the enemy of the people...

    Trump claims Google is suppressing positive news about him and ‘will be addressed’

    trump appears to be dropping the "fake" in his claim that media is the enemy of the people and is ramping up his attacks on the media.

    Yes. And The Donald knew it would happen too. It's yet one more reason he is completely unfit to lead this nation.

    Easily the most dangerous thing that ever happened to democracy. Donald Trump with his Jedi mind tricks on the gullible 42%: Obama is not an American ("yes, master"); :confused: the media is the enemy so don't believe them when they tell the truth about me ("yes, master"). :confused:

    Yeah, it sounds hyperbolic, but I don't think it is, TBH. It's the most dangerous internal thing to a democracy absent civil war. We've faced more dire external threats, and the Civil War was a whoooole lot worse, the Depression really did threaten our basic way of being, but this current BS is not good.

    I think it has less do to with Trump's persuasive skills and more to do with more and more people attaching their entire identity to political beliefs thus admitting they were wrong discredits their entire identity.

    So in this case, Trump and his cult like status is just a symptom to the hyper partisanship this country is facing currently.

    Obama has done more damage to journalism than any other president. Do you really want to compare what Obama has done vs what Trump has tweeted because you will lose the debate each time?
