I know of zero journalists with any credibility.
I said this to your Trump quote because, sure, I would like to read about something like that. Yet because my experience is that every time I can think of, the reporter got it wrong, I'm better off by just assuming the next one in the long line of wrong is also wrong.
Let me rephrase in a language you find more persuasive:
Journalists are just people. Okay? They're people. Like you and me. We're people. There are good people and bad people. But how many journalists do you know? Me, I know so many journalists, you wouldn't even believe. Many of them are good people. They show their sources. You can contact them on twitter. If you don't believe them, ask them for their sources. They have very good sources. Very, very good sources. Fantastic sources! Just because someone might look at sources differently, doesn't mean the sources are fake news. Okay? Like, you know, projections can be fake news. Doesn't mean the statistics are fake.
What is happening, folks. And it's sad. It's sad that this is happening. But it is happening. The Trump administration is manufacturing disinformation. We know this. But they're being so vague. They will say things like: Obama founded ISIS, Obama put a spy in our campaign, Democrats are responsible for whats happening to children at our border, Obama was born in Kenya, global warming is a total hoax, the bowling green massacre was covered up by the fake news media.
By doing this, and by accusing your opposition of the very crimes you are being investigated for, they aim to spread confusion. Right now they need confusion more than ever, because if they cant maintain senate majority until the investigation is finished, there will be noone left to bail them out.
Yeah I was done half way through. You have no idea how hard this is until you try. Sad.
