Really good story

I was in the newspaper business for 30 years, and the editor of a few smallish papers

I was the one always not letting stories run because they were biased , or didnt present "the other side.

Now what you say about trump is absolutely true. I watched some of the press conferences, and then watched the report on CNN ... and wondered what press conference they were at.

They would even show videos' of him speaking and falsely report what he said.

But you must remember, the other side did the same to Obama, just as bad.

I think Fox news started this tabloid journalism, and CNN adopted their playbook.

I used to enjoy covering politics, but i enjoyed the story, presenting as many aspects or opinions as possible. I hardly ever told anyone my opinions. I just felt it was wrong. Often people i disagreed with liked my reporting because i wrote what they said - no matter how crazy.

Now there is only opinion.

A lot of the broadcasts now are opinion...and people dont know the difference anymore between news and opinion.
