watching main stream media is a complete waste of time pretty much... It's WORSE than not watching.. cause, they tell you things that are not true, and then you have to invest MORE time to figure out how it's not true Sort of like trying to debate Herd.

The truth is on my side. Always. You can debate opinions, but you can't debate the truth. You can only invent "alternative facts".

It's a common malady these days.

Good grief. It's "alternative facts", not "alternative truths". Even Wikipedia knows: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_facts"Alternative facts" is a euphemism for lies told by the Trump administration and by Trump supporters. I thought that you knew better than to try to link me with those crowds. Wikipedia: ""Alternative facts" is a phrase used by U.S. Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway during a Meet the Press interview on January 22, 2017, in which she defended White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer's false statement about the attendance at Donald Trump's inauguration as President of the United States. When pressed during the interview with Chuck Todd to explain why Spicer "utter[ed] a provable falsehood", Conway stated that Spicer was giving "alternative facts". Todd responded, "Look, alternative facts are not facts. They're falsehoods." Conway's use of the phrase "alternative facts" to describe what are demonstrably falsehoods was widely mocked on social media and sharply criticized by journalists and media organizations, including Dan Rather, Jill Abramson, and the Public Relations Society of America. The phrase was extensively described as Orwellian. By January 26, 2017, sales of the book Nineteen Eighty-Four had increased by 9,500%, which The New York Times and others attributed to Conway's use of the phrase, making it the number-one bestseller on Amazon.com."

This is a pretty good example of what I'm talking about. Kellyann Conway most decisively DID NOT invent the term "Alternative facts".... Just because some fellow Trump-hater poster that on Wikipedia does NOT make this true. But, you've accepted it.. hook, line and sinker. Hmnn.. Maybe, I can get credit on Wikipedia for inventing "hook, line and sinker" Something about Trump just causes you to lose ALL sense of objectivity and truth. It's odd... really.

Once again, I have been viciously and unfairly attacked.
As usual, you failed to provide a single example to support your claim. The one example you did provide proved the exact opposite -- it actually established that what I said was 100% correct.
I swallowed what hook, line and sinker?

So, as usual, you don't obviously don't know what you are talking about. It's a joke.

Gee, not much bias in that description.
All started by the media showing differing crowd pictures of the Obama and Trump inaugurations.

It's not bias if it is factual.

watching main stream media is a complete waste of time I have sadly been forced to agree with you. I hate it. No ministry of propaganda needed.

It's not bias if it is factual. That's the problem, most of the media crap is not factual, and like Bevo correctly said, they make you work to find out why it's not factual. Just like the pictures of the inauguration comparisons. And using disgraced Dan Rather as a beacon of truth is highly disturbing.
But people continue to fall for it.
I have my usual bleeding hearts on FB whining about Trumps "awkward meeting" and refusal to shake hands with Merkel. Completely fake story with about 15 seconds of Googling.
Call it brainwashing, indoctrination, whatever you want, but these people go far beyond basic brainwashing. They’ve embraced the crazy & have lost all critical thinking skills & logic
They’re either so stupid they don’t know better, or they’re total zombies who’s minds have been taken over by the lefts insanity.

Then, how about showing us some "factual" pictures of the Trump inauguration, taken from the same angle for comparison purposes -- at any time. Real, verified pictures only, please.
I don't believe that you can come up with any that show the Trump inauguration crowd beginning to compare with the crowd for Obama's first inauguration -- because Trump drew a substantially smaller crowd.
But, I will keep an open mind, and will be pleased to stand corrected if you have the evidence.
The next question is: why do you even care? Aside from some bruised egos, it doesn't matter a whit.
