At Conference; Cable News

At a conference. Stupidly turned on cable news, which I almost never do anymore at home.
My God CNN is awful....just...awful...so genuinely, droolingly, sanctimoniously terrible that...it's...almost as bad as...Fox "News"...which is...OHMYGOD...it's the political/current-events equivalent of reading the Necronomicon....except for the knowledge part of forbidden knowledge...
   Also, it's so obvious that the right and the left each would be saying basically what the other is saying if this had turned out to be a "false flag." 
   Also...yeah: dude is a psycho. But that doesn't mean that the rhetoric of both sides isn't way out of bounds. And Trump is, hard as it is to believe, the president. So he's not supposed to be getting anywhere near the bounds....but he's one of the worst offenders. Small errors by the president are worse than large errors by others. And Trump makes big errors all the time. Which is not to say that CNN et al. don't spin even innocuous things into Mein Kampf...because of course they do.
   Thing is, when you say crazy stuff, crazies believing you is a predictable consequence. Is Trump responsible for what the crazy did? Well...yeah...probably...to at least some extent... OTOH, contra CNN, "fake news" is not a shocking assault on the media. It's more like stating a rather obvious fact.
