    At least Breitbart can give some people a clue as to why CNN and other news networks can be so biased in their reporting

    That statement presupposes that it has been proven that CNN is "so biased".

    Bannon is in the white house, what do we make of that?

    In my opinion, not too much: we look at what Breitbart says and judge them based on that.

    Lots of examples, you just have to watch it to see the bias especially when it involves coverage of "their side". Black yobs torturing a mentally ill white kid? Not evil, just poor parenting ...

    Black woman calling for riots and destruction of white neighbourhoods? Edited and presented as though it was a "call for peace".

    Probably "with a grain of salt" as they say. I don't think everything is a lie but nor do I believe everything unthinkingly either. Most stuff unless you are actually there how would you know what was said and what happened etc you are relying on reports of reports of reports.

    I think with the news we get important stuff like context and background is a casualty of the public's need for the quick easy catchphrase to pass along and inaccuracies are too often repeated and ran with by minor, less conscientious news stations/ outlets.

    But hell what would I know so what does it matter what I think, but thanks for asking.

    The real story behind headlines and sound bites you would need to research for yourself just like everything in life.

    He has a point to consider when news agencies everywhere are stating that Trump committed terrible at sexual acts in Russia in order to create a Russian connection and dehumanize Trump ......minimus

    Not everywhere..

    Some of the more reputable news agencies refused to report on that..

    Those accusations against Trump are unproven..

    Trump has to learn how to rise above all the bullshit and not create his own..

    Outlaw if somebody said about you the same things they said about President Trump you would defend you so vigorously I am sure

    And realistically literally all over the world news agencies spoke of Trump's so called sexual deviances. Why ?? Because of fake news. And sad to say people still state that Trump did this. Shabby yellow journalism

    Trump has every right to defend himself against Bullshit..

    He doesn`t have the right to blame innocent news agencies, who refused to report on that crap..

    Trump should have given those news agencies some credit..

    Instead his surrogate "Kellyanne Conway/Skelator Barbie" lied about them participating as well..

    I watched her do it..
