Alright, you guys enlighten and explain to me how Brexit somehow causes America to lose jobs, because I don't see the logic behind it whatsoever. Unless it was Trump making a "joke" again, which he seems to be pretty bad at (I say because it always has to be explained when he's joking).
But that aside, take a look at this:
The comments are interesting: while people from both parties are comment in this, the one thing that seems to be agreed with (for the most part, some are using it as a platform to argue) is that this guy's actions were uncalled for, unnecessary, and anyone looking to hold a public office should not have resorted to such violent behavior. I even see some comments from self-identifying Republicans and conservatives saying this man, in no way, represents what their party stands for, that he's making himself as an example of how liberals perceive Trump (I don't know about that), and that Republicans do not condone violence whatsoever . . . and I'll give them that - with some exceptions, such as Trump encouraging them to attack protesters, I don't see a lot of violence coming from the Republican party very much.
But somebody also riddle me this, because all kidding aside, I'm seriously actually starting to get more and more concerned and worried about this:
why is the right so brainwashed into believing that
every single freakin' news and media outlet in America - aside from Fox and Breitbart (the latter of which has been exposed for being propagating falsified reports) - is "fake news"? Do they
really, truly believe that any and every source that reports something they don't agree with or like to hear is automatically "fake news"? Is that really it? Because otherwise, I don't see how all but two sources of news are somehow making some kind of a pact or blood oath to do all they can to spread as many lies and make the leader of our country - regardless of who is it - as bad as the right claims they do. Seems to me that would go against journalistic standards and protocol. And again, there's the recent example of the media reporting Trump sharing intel with Russia: the GOP denied it and accused the media of lying and reporting false news . . . then T
rump himself immediately Tweeted afterwards,
admitting and confessing that he
did, indeed, share intel with Russia, saying he was within his rights to do so.
Who are the liars in this case? Then there's this whole thing about party bias . . . well, it seems to me that much of the media on both sides were pretty upset when Obama said he would welcome Syrian refugees into the country as they fled the violence in their country, because he said this is what America is all about, yet much of the media said this would just the perfect guise for terrorists to slip into the country, so I wouldn't say there was a whole lot of bias there when you've got
both sides chatising Obama for this; just like when certain Fox anchors were actually chastising Trump for being rude and unpresidential towards certain reporters and journalists who were doing nothing more than their jobs - there's no bias there (but there is when certain Trump supporters call for the firing and termination for said Fox anchors for "disrespecting Trump" for calling him out on his temper tantrums), and this is coming from the same outlet that was nothing but Barack Obama Sux for eight years.
As I said, I really don't follow any specific news or media outlet for anything - all I do is take a lesson from Super Grover 2.0 and use my own powers of observation to see what's going on in the world around me, and again, from my observation this is what I see: almost every news and media outlet out there reports the same, if not very identical things . . . then there's two outlets that report the exact opposite of everybody else . . . and from my powers of observation of what's going on in this country day after day, week after week, month after month, I see more accuracy in what's being reported by everybody else than what's being reported by the other two who say otherwise.
So again, this really begs the question: are the people among the right who constantly accuse everybody except for Fox and Breitbart of fake news and lies
only doing so simply because they don't like or agree with what they hear? Or, do they
really, truly, with all of their heart and soul, actually believe that what's being reported by everybody but Fox and Breitbart is fake and manipulated? Because if it's the latter, that seems
extremely scary, because that seems so much like they're basically just brainwashed. Then again, I'm sure others would argue the exact opposite and say it's the otherway around, that people like me are brainwashed into believing that everything reported by Fox or Breitbart is fake and manipulated news (though again,
Breitbart has been exposed for doing this), but again, I listen to CNN about as much as I listen to Fox, which is
seldom, and same goes other sources, whether it's national news outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, or others like Huffington Post, Washington Post, Time, New York Times, L.A. Times, Daily Mail, Reuters, BuzzFeed (which, again, is honestly more satirical news than anything, I can't believe people aren't figuring this out), or any others. I just use my powers of observation like Super Grover 2.0 taught me.
