Media spreads Fake News about Trump feeding fish in Japan

[ohwell]

So from the CNN article



Such fake news. Wow.

Except when the headline is worded to imply quite the opposite and people are still all over twitter with this story in its fake form.

I just find it ironic that people supported Trump because he wasn't PC and liberals are easily offended and yet become PC and hypersensitive themselves

I find it ironic that liberals can't take it when their own shit is thrown back at them. Just like the it's ok to be white thing. There's tons of similar things about other races and the second it gets thrown back at them in a form they don't like all hell breaks loose.

You make an article with clickbait titles and obscure the real scenario in your story you lose even more credibility. CNN makes headlines like this every day by stretching how far they can practically lie. They're below Bush era Fox News at this point.

Another example of a stupid misrepresentation that reinforces the claim that the anti-Trump media cannot report on even the most mundane Trump news with any degree of credibility. Instead of actually posting footage of the event, many of these outlets have linked an edited video that makes it look like Trump dumped his box of fish food into the pond first. What actually happened was that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe tossed the entire contents of his box in first, and then Trump followed his example.

OMG - so the media reporting that Trump dropped his box of fish food was CORRECT? What will you do with yourself now?

So now you're getting triggered over CNN correctly reporting the news? Awesome-sauce. I guess real facts just don't agree with you, eh? Rofl.

seems maybe you need to slowdown snowflake and read the articles first

[callipygoustp]

The guy (Trump) has small hands. WTF do people expect? Of course he's going to have a hard time holding things.

The problem is that all of those articles you posted actually included the information that Abe dumped his box of fish food first. There is literally nothing fake about this story. If you are commenting the fact that the headline was focused on Trump, not Abe... of course it was, it was an American media outlet reporting it. Those articles weren't negative either, the CNN article refers to it as funny, and HUFFPO called it a "grand gesture" (Which is overstating it a bit).

Glad you feel the story about feeding fishes is fake, too bad you don't have good evidence the important ones are fake.

Why do you lie so much about things focusing on Trump? Your entire premise here is a lie - and all anyone has to do to prove that is read the links you provided.

This is why... to put simply, it works:

Of course they do, most negative things about Trump are made up.

[Sormine]

Of course they do, most negative things about Trump are made up.

Whatever happened to "crooked hillary" and the email's brigade? Trumpkin's are getting boring these days.

[Stormspellz]

Of course they do, most negative things about Trump are made up.

most negative things are from his own mouth, or is quoting him "made up" now as well?

furthermore the articles seem to accurately portray the events of the day, but thats "made up" i guess.

[Putin-Chan]

Who gives a single shit.

[Garnier Fructis]

Of course they do, most negative things about Trump are made up.

Have you considered reading the links?

[Draco-Onis]

Have you considered reading the links?

So you expect a rabbit Trump supporter to read and give you an informed response? your standards are just too high, you liberals and your reading trying to trick them.

Those damn liburals and their reading and research. They think they're better than us. I don't have time to read the actual articles. My president taught me that if it takes more than 140 characters to say then it's not worth saying.

I feel like we have a negative cyclical relationship with our presidents. When it's Bush, to the other side, he's a war criminal and a liar, and to some, complicit in 9/11(50% of democrats believed this in 2006). Obama, to many on the other side, was an illegitimate Kenyan (41% of Republicans believed this in 2016), a Muslim who hated America. And here comes Trump, the tiny-hands buffoon, the racist, the evil dummy.

I don't know how far back this goes, but I'd be willing to bet it goes back pretty far. We've become so adversarial towards the other side that we're really willing to say terrible things that are usually based somewhere in the realm of fact, but so far removed as to become ultimately indefensible. It's almost like it's become the de facto position to just oppose. Just oppose no matter what, give no ground no matter what, and say terrible things about the other side. I wonder how far that's ultimately going to get us.

But then @Hellboi would have to consider his reality isn't real.

[Wyrt]

Um, he did dump his box of fish food for the fish. How is this fake news? Why does it even matter? Why do you care so much about fish?

There is a problem with your assertion. Your view of 9/11 polling is from 2006... That’s 5 years after Bush had 90% approval rating. 3 years after the infamous “mission accomplished”. This was well after the Patriot Act and oil company take over of Iraq’s oil. It was 2 years after 9/11 commissions concluded:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Commission

The commission's final report was lengthy and based on extensive interviews and testimony. Its primary conclusion was that the failures of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) permitted the terrorist attacks to occur and that if these agencies acted more wisely and more aggressively, the attacks could potentially have been prevented.

But, you are comparing that, to Obama’s birth certificate? Trump, who unlike any president you can link, maintains his position as CEO of Trump corporation? A guy who has no experience in government? The guy who pushed the Obama birth certificate?

That’s sort of the problem for people who try to equate an extreme outlier like Trump, to other presidents. If you have a problem with Obama’s slandering over his birth certificate, you should be pointing at Trump for doing it, not saying Trump is the same. You should be able to realize the difference between critique, even extreme, of what a president is doing, versus criticism over his birth certificate. Those are not the same at all...

I don't know how far back this goes, but I'd be willing to bet it goes back pretty far. We've become so adversarial towards the other side that we're really willing to say terrible things that are usually based somewhere in the realm of fact, but so far removed as to become ultimately indefensible. It's almost like it's become the de facto position to just oppose. Just oppose no matter what, give no ground no matter what, and say terrible things about the other side. I wonder how far that's ultimately going to get us.

Your poll on Bush being complicit on 9/11, came years after 9/11 commission deemed our government failed at stopping these preventable attacks. Years after “mission accomplished” was declared in wars we are still fighting. What did Obama do, to be the first president, where we do not trust our presidential vetting process? What happened to Trump, being the guy responsible for pushing Obama’s birth certificate, something you obviously have a problem with... to now being slandered? Do you think it’s unfair for you to be neutral to Trump, while complaining about shit he did? Just because you don’t name him as holding responsibility in pushing it?
