Used to be a great newspaper. Alas, no more. Unfortunately theyāre beyond redemption, Iām afraid.
Iāll miss the local sports, news from the Beltway, and some friends I made in the Comments sections there.

The whole relationship between Trump and the press is interesting. I found this interview interesting, (thereās a longer version well worth watching) but in this segment it can be argued both Trumpās digital manager and the media guy are both incapable of self reflection. I might argue one side is more incapable than the other but imagine others might have sides reversed.
Heās exactly correct. Todayās Democrat media is not on the side of the American people, theyāre on the side of the Democrat party (or as Trumpās man graciously phrases it, āon the side of a portion of the American peopleā). Period, full stop. No question about it.
The most remarkable thing about the clip is that the interviewer seems to think this is made up, or merely polemic, or fake, or wrong. Their TDS is so, so strong these days.

fact checkers have become my replacement for conspiracy theory websites when Iām looking for some entertainment. Theyāre not even trying anymore.
Even if those statements actually appeared on the website, which youāve failed before apparently unconcernedly when posting this kind of thing and Iām tired of checking, theyāre obviously different statements.
Yes, but I still find it funny that the fact that in 2017 Amazon paid no income tax wasnāt even mentioned in the fact checking article about Trumpās statement.
I love the ending of the Bernie article:
"We canāt know that for certain until we see Amazonās tax return. But experts say the closest estimate is that Amazon indeed paid zero in federal income taxes. In fact, Amazon estimates a $137 million rebate.
Experts said there was no indication of foul play. The tax credits and write-offs for stock-based compensation that enabled this were passed by Congress.
We rate this statement True."
We donāt know for sureā¦we rate this true.
If Amazon isnāt a monopoly than the claim fails. I understand that it might seem we should take special note when Trump says something that is actually true, but I donāt see how itās necessary here. It reads to me that that portion is not under dispute.
While I wouldnāt consider these sites to be the tome of wisdom or anything, it seems to me they do a pretty good job of evaluating statements.
Bernie was also specifically referring to federal income tax, when again the Donald alleges they pay no taxes(which is not true) see for example here
The links you provided also explains that they pay paid payroll tax, etc
Furthermore, amazon doesnāt have a monopoly, as also explained in your links
Trump is shielding R Kelly.

Good interview with Trump, if you think of his Presidency as having just watched season 1 and 2 consider this a preview to season 3. Starts at around 5.30 mark.
What a moron Trump is

I woke up and checked some news. Apparently buzzfeed had some shocking revelations, from anonymous sources familiar with the matter, that proved how Sdrumpf colluded with russia. Then almost immediately Mullerās office pointed out that buzzfeed 's report is incorrect.
What is even going on? Is Muller protecting Trump?? Is Muller actually Trumpās contact with Putin and he was put in charge of that āinvestigationā to make sure nothing would come out it? Is buzzfeed on crack?
Iām finding it hard to follow the narrative.
if you go down that rabbit hole, you might not like what you see or have to believeā¦ 
Yesterday CNN spent all day covering the BuzzFeed story, today they are covering Mullers statement it is false.
Conclusion. Watching CNN is a complete waste of time because you learn absolutely nothing.

Wasnāt it buzzfeed that fell for the 4chan prank of Trump pissing on obamaās bed in Russia?
Iām starting to see a patternā¦
I donāt believe any news. They canāt be trusted because ratings matter more than truth.
