Roachmill Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) ^Good to see CNN being responsible and not tolerating "fake news" Shame the White House doesn't do the same for their Press Secretary.

redrobbie Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Trump ended the Obama / Hillary policy of arming ISIS in Syria . https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-usa-syria/trump-ends-cia-arms-support-for-anti-assad-syria-rebels-u-s-officials-idUSKBN1A42KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie P Posted December 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Let's look at what just happened. Someone who is claiming media bias against Trump wrote: Trump ended the Obama / Hillary policy of arming ISIS in Syria . https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-usa-syria/trump-ends-cia-arms-support-for-anti-assad-syria-rebels-u-s-officials-idUSKBN1A42KCWhen the linked article, from a broadly neutral and well-respected news source, actually says: A downside of the CIA program, one of the officials said, is that some armed and trained rebels defected to Islamic State and other radical groups, and some members of the previous administration favored abandoning the program.<snip>A separate effort by the U.S. military effort to train, arm and support other Syrian rebel groups with air strikes and other actions will continue, the officials said. Now lets compare two key phrases from the above quotes"policy of arming ISIS" vs "A downside... is that some armed and trained rebels defected to Islamic State and other radical groups"There is indeed some bias on display there....

Davie P Posted December 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 ^ I'm not sure Trump would do much better at getting a parliamentary agreement on Brexit than May considering he has just presided over another US government shutdown - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/us-government-shutdown-trump-wall-mexico-border-white-house-democrats-congress-a8695881.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roachmill Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Oh, now that's funny. "Individual 1" does not imply anyone thinks Trump's the number one person in the world for starters. But yes, there are OTT anti-trump personalities (a lot of his own making TBF) on our screens. It does not magically change the nature of his actual actions, however.
