The left used to say that about the Drudge Report. Many still do.
Only if you are a true socialist and a flaming feminist.
I only ever saw Drudge as linking to loads of websites, much like you do.
Infowars is straight trash; the very definition of fake news. They make up their crap, not just bend or slant the truth. Think of everything said about CNN, MSNBC, etc. and multiply it by a factor of 1-million.
Only an idiot would argue that because the owner of a media outlet has political opinions, the media is not “free.”
Your so-called silent majority (which had fewer votes than HRC’s actual majority) would serve itself and its country better if it would branch out and expose itself to media sources that are not part of Trump’s own propaganda machine.
I used to like CNN....back in the early '90's. I still watch it on occasion. I won't watch Don Lemon and a few others because they are nothing but lying libtard shrills. I watch Wolf Blitzer and also their "news" portion sometimes, just to get another viewpoint of some event. There is nothing on MSNBC worth watching, that so-called network is the worst of the worst of fake news. FOX has its right-wing advocates, like Hannity, but they are the counter-weight to MSNBC and some of the shrills on CNN. FOX also has a "news" portion which I continue to find is the most complete and "fair" of all the networks. I do COMPARE how networks present what is supposed to be "news," and FOX generally (not always) does the best job of giving "all sides" of the story. Of course, Hannity will later take that same story and spin it to either play down the libtard side of it, or ignore it all together. But guess what, MSNBC and some on CNN do the exact same thing to spin the leftist viewpoint. The BBC America News is probably the single fairest presenter of "news."
I also watch, especially in the morning, CNBC for market and financial news.
Also, my good friend, goosey, you keep harping on what you deem to be personality flaws in Trump. Nah. Trump is a Type A personality and many, many ultra-successful people, across all walks of life, are like him and "worse." If indeed you find something wrong with Type A's. I don't. Heck, Nick Saban can be bizarre at times! Many of those "flaws" are exactly what drives him and why he is so good at what he does. Saban does not make a good cocktail party guest, unless you're hung up on his celebrity. He's crude, focused, and if it has nothing to do with helping Bama football be #1, he's not interested.
I know many folks, who are VERY successful in their careers, wealthy and all of that, and not very "personable." Except some of them are involved in politics...behind the scenes supporters, not candidates....and they know how to "cozy up" to you in attempt to win you to their side, or see where you stand on some political issue. And, if you're not with 'em, you're against 'em then watch out, here comes the knife in your back!
Based on what I have seen....and granted I have never personally experienced him in a private setting of some kind....Trump is TAME by comparison. So, again what you think are flaws, are actually traits very common in ultra-successful people. Most people who have had private meetings with him say he is not nearly the bombastic person he portrays in public. And, yes, I do have an "in" in his administration. Actually, two! One just was promoted from an intern and is now a full-time member of his staff. The other is higher-up in his administration. Neither of them particularly liked Donald Trump and at least one of them did not even vote for him in 2016. But as both are interested in a career in politics/government and Trump happens to be POTUS, they accepted an offer to join his staff. Both have changed their opinion of him since they have actually experienced his leadership and have spoken with him personally.
Have you ever spoken with Trump, face to face?
I know nothing about infowars. I assumed I was reading a list of tweets Trump had put out about his "fake news" awards. Is that not what that was?
That's what the link on Drudge said it was.
Edit: Just checked. They appear to be Trump's tweets.
I agree Trump is ALSO a Type A person, but his Type A personality traits are not the traits I have a problem with.
Are you familiar with the history of the development of the “Type A/B” personality profiles? It is kind of interesting, but it really wasn’t done for purposes of understanding behavior.
Drudge Report was the first to break the Clinton/Monica "Oval Office affair" stained blue dress story. Many thought Drudge was bogus on the story and a terrible source. Other sources out there will write stories where they see and hear of "smoke" that will be true as well. But they will have to put true facts to these to overcome the bogus crap without facts that CNN, MSNBC and lame stream media puts "out there".
Big tobacco!
I went thru some personality seminars when I worked for a large corporation. There are a bunch of those out there, like "colors" for instance.
Just read an article where what they are calling Type R's are in demand for management positions. These are people who actually thrive in a chaotic, OMG! everything is crumbling type environment. They keep a level head and provide leadership when everyone else is in a panic.
I still don't get this: "but his Type A personality traits are not the traits I have a problem with"
I see nothing, and no one else who is honest about it, see any alarming traits in Trump. Only his political enemies, which there are many, seem hung up on these mysterious traits. That's because, IMO, he has no such alarming traits. It's call contrived in an attempt to derail his presidency. Which, from his political enemies' POV, I understand since that's all they have. They have no answers for his governing positions. Like....hey! we want Americans to have less take-home pay, yeah baby! Nah, that won't fly on election day.
Trump is identical in mega ego and narcissistic behaviors of Obama, Hillary, IGore, Slickmister and Biden. Period! He just speaks his mind on twitter what the others at times kept to their inner circle or freely blasted to the lame stream media with zero blowback. The others still ranted and raged identically the same.
The left just isn't used to getting their same tactics rubbed in their face for the entire world to witness the truth about them. Thank goodness we have a President that won't "Casper milk toast" his way through the Presidency like the Bush's did and Sen. Graham and McCain still do. The Dems have used the bully pulpit for years to ultra slam the other side with lies, slander veiled in some truth. Now it is finally the conservative's time to use it after decades of growing Rino spiderwebs.
JOBLESS CLAIMS LOWEST SINCE 1973
LOL. The Trump propaganda machine. What would that be? It's pretty inconsequential.
Conversely, the anti Trump machine was in full bloom in the press room asking a doctor if Trump watches too much TV and if he should take up Obama's exercise routine to be more like Obama! The media has mostly become a dem spin machine. They used to be idealistic, but they are pure partisan now.
It was like watching an anti-tobacco guy being grilled by big tobacco CEOs. The agenda was obvious, and they were looking for whatever scrap they could find to slant the whole press conference to justify their pre-conceived views (which, by the way, you bought hook line and sinker). And the view is the same whether it is Lorrilard or Phillip Morris...just like with the press. Look how they tried to hide the story of Hillary collapsing in front of the limo and compare that to their fascination with Trump's BMI.
If Romney or McCain were president, the media would be on the same search and destroy mission. You need look no further than the Bush presidency for that.
It was cardiologists that were correlating personality traits as indicators for risk of heart disease. Type A traits were believed to be indicator of increased risk for developing heart disease.
