This guy really cracks me up.

[Jun aka Pekto]

Why we're careful about just blindly believing the news.

^^

didn't watch the video

cnn clearly has anti-trump bias

you don't need a whistleblower to tell you that

and if you want pro-trump news you go to fox

you go to Breitbart, Drudge Report

you go to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity

these things are so obvious dunno why do we even have to talk about it

[oj88]

News bias, yes it exists. But it roots mainly from their opinion hosts. Case in point, the Fox news opinion hosts... the latest casualty of which is the resignation of Shep Smith... likely the only person in Fox that actually fact-checks Trump.

At any rate, with Trump, you don't really need that much push from the media to come up with your own determination that all this POTUS' actions have been proven to be self-serving. And in case you don't believe me, you can do your own fact-checking independent of CNN or Fox.

[Jun aka Pekto]

Not just CNN. Other mainstream outlets too. I've been seeing crap like this for a long time now.

Typical m.o.....

Air the crap for shock effect, apologize later and issue correction when no one is watching. Once the shock effect is out? Mission accomplished. It doesn't matter if the retraction/apology/correction is made.

I'm tired of these crap.

you only have to understand Trump's character to figure out Trump

no need to watch the news

the guy is a narcissist and a sociopath

this perfectly describes Trump:

of course NOT only CNN

ABC, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, New York Times, Washington post etc

[uls]

it's easy to notice a person's or a media org's bias

like dito sa forum jun pekto and stockengine very clearly have pro-trump bias

[oj88]

Woe on ABC for not fact-checking footages before airing them.

BUT, that doesn't mean that the events didn't happen.

What Trump did was abandon the Kurds who has been instrumental in defeating ISIS in the region. The irony here is that, Trump is sending troops to Saudi Arabia because, apparently, Saudi Arabia is paying.

So in all appearances, forget allies, treaties, and fighting for what is right.... the US military is now for rent to the highest bidder.

[uls]

now that the Kurds cannot rely on US for support who do they turn to?

Putin's friend Assad

The Kurds say "hey Assad let's fight together against the invading Turks!"

basically the Kurds are asking Syria to take over their territory (autonomous zone in Northern Syria)

di bale na mapunta sa Syria huwag lang sa Turkey

now the trump admin and the republicans are fumbling

ngayon di nila alam ano gagawin nila

[uls]

i can see the smiles on Assad's and Putin's faces

genius Trump

hahaha

[oj88]

^ Yup, early Christmas gift from Trump.

Eh, kaw bro?

Clearly, anti-Kastilaloy, anti-Trump, anti-USA, pro-China, pro-Money biases.

Did I miss anything else?

Peace.

My friend in Oregan says things are getting pretty expensive... Also many stores are cutting back because they don't want to pass their customers their added cost...

But then if ALL mainstream news media come to a strikingly similar conclusion... and more importantly, makes a lot more sense than what Fox trumpets over the air, you'd be hard pressed to dispute them.

Looks like US is already done in ME. Can't blame them since the Kurds are only liabilities and US doesn't depend so much on ME's oil anymore thanks to the shale revolution.

The way that Trump pulled out though is terrible. It certainly would have a negative effect on US' soft power.

Leaving the Kurds to fend for themselves is one thing.... Leaving and then effectively destabilizing the region and allowing Turkish forces to wreak havoc and potentially freeing up thousands of captured ISIS fighters, is another, and a far more serious repercussion that will have a global effect for years to come.

And why is this president so worked up not to ruffle Erdoğan's feathers?

I give you three words: Trump Towers Istanbul

We should've seen this coming. The writings were on the wall...
