    This media can’t differentiate between trolling and threats. Just like tRump ‘floating’ wildly illegal actions to test popularity and desensitize the public before just doing them regardless. I haven’t decided whether this is intentional misrepresentation and journalistic malpractice, or ignorance and incompetence (a different kind of malpractice), but I do know the outcome is the same either way.

          This media … ignorance and incompetence

          What makes you think that this media is ignorant or incompetent? These are strong words, which IMHO need to be proven. Otherwise it is a simple rant related to frustration.

            They sure are, and I don’t owe you a thesis statement on how I concluded this, opinions don’t need proving to being with and I know that I’ve been exposed to, and critical of all political perspectives in US media for years. I did not ask for your “humble opinion” which is far from humble when presented as more valid than mine since it’s assumed your rejection of my opinion doesn’t require evidence of any sort, and I have no interest in entertaining your ignorance. If you would care to objectively assess the state of legacy media in the US under constant threat from tRump and his crony led FCC, I invite you to do so, and then perhaps we could have a serious discussion. Until then, and because you only seem able to criticize the terminology I use while ignoring the point, I’m going to ignore you because I think your only goal in responding to me is distraction and suppression.
