Had they spent that $6 million to aid in the Virus fight, using that toward masks or supplies for hospitals, they get mine and a lot more people's respect, and votes.

Blowing that much on Ads in a time of crisis, just mind-blowing.

Adding-

Would you make dismissive comments like “it’s just like the flu, people die from the flu”, and insinuate that it will just blow over when the weather warms up, while scientists and health officials were still fully trying to assess these things.

Falsely inform the public that we’re weeks/months away from a cure, while expert Anthony Fauci is saying it will be at least a year or more before one is developed and fully approved for use.

Make funny jokes like “I can’t touch my face, I miss my face(haha)”, and focus oddly on performance of the stock market- “it looks great”, “they told me I set a record today” while other places like N Korea were taking very serious steps to broadly test, then broadly track all those tested, especially those testing positive w/ a tracking app?

It blows me away what people will believe anymore. So many fake news outlets out there nowadays, one can only view them as Info-tainment and nothing more.

Main stream media (MSM) is the same way, all out to influence and brainwash your mind.

CNN, MSNB, NY Times, the list goes on and on. All out to get Trump like a bunch of petulant children who are still struggling with the fact the Dems lost the last election.

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

Obviously I'm not going to change your mind, but take a story like this:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...a4e_story.html

Trump is ripping off the taxpayers by overcharging the Secret Service for hotel rooms at his properties. That money goes into his pocket.

Now, is your position that this information is false? It's based on official government documents, so if it's false, either the Secret Service is lying or the Post is forging documents. Do you have any reason to believe that's true?

Or is it your position that they shouldn't report a story like this at all? If not, why not? It's easy to pick out a couple of things that the media has gotten wrong, but then to suggest that everything else they report on is also wrong, or lies, doesn't make any sense. It's like saying "Well, they say that guy is a great surgeon, but one or two of his patients die every year."

So I guess I don't understand what you mean by "fake news" other than "they report stories that make Trump look bad."

Oh, and also, the last election was in 2018 and the Democrats won that one.
