  What is your opinion of the news media?

  to me they have an agenda and they really don't care about professional journalism.

  most are untrustworthy and that's a shame.

  No need to rethink - Trump has not banned the media. He excluded a couple from his briefing. The vast majority were not excluded. Obama did the same thing to Fox News and I didn't hear anyone making an uproar back then.

  The sky is not falling - Trump will not ban the media. The news media is still not owned or controlled by the government.

  Edited to add: I think the media using the word ban to report this story is to trigger people into hysterics. Maybe Trump was just in no mood for their shit yesterday. Kind of how I am getting tired of the Chicken Littles, every move Trump makes, the sky is falling.

  I lost a lot of blood during my surgery. The Dr said lets wait a day and check your hemoglobin levels to see if you need a transfusion. We waited a day and my hemoglobin levels rebounded, so I didn't get a transfusion. Drs don't automatically give transfusions, or push them if they aren't needed.

  I had surgery not long ago, the Dr asked if there were any religious considerations for surgery and I said no.

  Here's my perspective : I can choose or choose not to get upset about anything. I choose to not follow the herd of the media and get crazy about everything or nothing. After my life as a Witness I have learned there is virtually nothing that is the end of the world, so why choose to live my life as if everything is the end of the world.

  The media to me right now is nothing more than The Watchtower spouting their brand of the "truth" or the end of the world. They only have the effect you allow them to have.

  But you are leaving out the part about how the media is undermining him as well.

  Not saying it is right on either side.....

  I feel like the media right now is Chicken Little running around screaming "the sky is falling".

  You were not quoting either when you said " he has guns and bars behind him". Trump is not going to ban the media.

  Oh for heavens sake - trump isn't going to ban the media. It's like saying the government is going to ban the Witnesses. It's talked about to drive people to hysterics.

  i would like to have your opinion on something if you don't mind.

  my girlfriends dog, a scottish terrier, is a wonderful lovable dog about fiveyears old.

  my girlfriend owns a hair salon and takes her dog with her and the dog greets clients very lovingly.

  Sometimes it has to do with the energy they are giving off. Animals sense "vibes", so there is something there the dog isn't liking.

  I once left a District Assembly at lunch and spent the entire afternoon at the mall shopping. It was so much better than sitting at that boring assembly all day.
