But that's NOT what's playing on Fixed News, they fucking love him there and all his rabid minions. The news is shaping their easily corrupted minds.
Fuck News has been doing it to them for years. All they have to do is feed them a line and they bite on it, no hook needed.

He graduated from one of the top business schools in the country which doesn't accept 'mental midgets', and his twitter feeds helped get him where he is today. I think I know who the mental midget is...

Yes, the trump voter.
When it comes to being president, or even being a good leader, trump is a mental midget. Do you honestly believe he is up to the task? Have you listened to him speak extemporaneously? He's not a very bright person. He's got average intelligence at best, and his job isn't one where average intelligence will suffice.
As for getting into Wharton, who knows how that happened. Maybe coming from a wealthy family helped. He certainly did not finish at the top of his class as he likes to say.
Actually, if you watch videos of him speaking 20 years ago he is much more eloquent. I actually wonder if he is suffering from early stages of dementia.

Could Trump Be Suffering From Dementia?

You're right, Trump was much more articulate 20 years ago, but he was not some stupid business man.
The Trump of today isn't quite has sharp as he once was, he loses focus and definitely needs a strong support system around him.
But even at 70 years old, he's no "mental midget". Obama never had even a fraction of the business and real world experiences of Trump, that's the truth.

Nobody is objective. Everyone is biased. The most prevalent bias in journalism (or anywhere else in capitalist society) is the profit motive. Journalists (and more importantly, their editors)are going to tend to be biased towards narratives and stories that sell papers. The agenda is to make the most money. This isn't something new.

I'm not sure that "sell[ing] papers" is really a viable market strategy anymore.

I'm sure that it isn't, but whatever the format, the principle is the same. It was a turn of phrase...but you knew that.

This is a bit of a misleading statement. He graduated from a school that has one of the top business programs in the country. He didn't graduate from that MBA program, however. He got a bachelors there after transferring as a junior from Fordham. He also didn't graduate with honors.
I think you're overstating the value of his educational accomplishments.

It's there are different groups with opposing views. Different news outlets cater to different demands. There is no single media agenda. There are thousands.
Cannabis magazines want legal cannabis business
Liberal media promotes liberal agenda
Conservative media promotes conservative agenda
Scientific media promotes science
Is it that difficult for you to adjust to?

I didn't realize that, I thought he got his MBA there. Thanks for letting me know!

The MSM is owned by a few very large corporations, their financial interests go outside of just plain viewership ratings.
The mainstream financial media always tries to paint a rosy picture of the economy regardless of who is US President, they even praise Trump's economic ideas as they bash him on every other issue.

That article is fake news. They completely misrepresent the original article.
Quote:
The State Department is launching a $40 million initiative to crack down on foreign propaganda and disinformation amid widespread concerns about future Russian efforts to interfere in elections.
