And when you see video footage of a senior producer at CNN explaining that they are reporting "bullshit" for ratings...

You still think I'm wrong? Wow. What would it take to get you to open your eyes to this?
The media has an agenda. They are reporting rumors, falsehoods, unsubstantiated "unnamed sources", etc.

The very TOP executives of CNN have now issued a policy that NO story on Russia will be allowed until it is run past the two top executives of CNN so they can fact check their own people.

I get that you want to believe because you don't like Trump. But when the top brass of CNN don't even trust CNN...then maybe you need to rethink that.
Robbie you are being silly. The bust story was just a silly little thing; Someone posted that the bust was missing and it got over blown. The retraction isn't fake news but instead good journalism; They saw something wrong and quickly took action to remove it. The video you are talking about is a low level employee quickly sharing his thoughts with someone that was annoying him; The video was made by Okeefe who has a long history of bullshit.

With that said, I do honestly believe the press is completely fucking with Trump. During the administration Trump attacked the press, calling it all "fake news". Trump thought once he was president he would be able to do whatever he wants. The press thinks Trump is ridiculous, and are taking advantage of his inexperience. Trump is so incompetent that it's easy.

The so called "travel ban" is a great example. If this was properly done no one would have noticed. All the Trump administration had to do was quietly create a committee to review the vetting process, and then quietly push through some changes. Instead Trump made a big deal about it as if he was protecting Americans. The press saw this and made a much bigger deal out of it than it should have been.

The entire Russian connection has also been so poorly handled that it's turned into an obstruction of justice investigation. The press is picking up these things and running with it. Trump and his team is so damn incompetent that they cannot control the press cycle. It's so bad that they are refusing to allow cameras in the press room.
