I think Loomer is extreme. But with regards to "trust," I don't have a great deal of it for the people who write articles like the one you just linked.

Trump's mistake in his first term was keeping too many enemies on staff in key positions where they could blunt his efforts. This sounds a lot like him rectifying that imho.

It looked like reporting of the facts of the story to me.
 
Reading it a second time, konig you can't possibly believe that this is a balanced article. There's simply no way to actually believe that...but I can certainly understand how animus towards the man would make you desire to accept it as a fair and balanced article. That's simply not true.

Also, it's way more likely that Loomer was trying to get ahead of the firings with her meeting hoping that she looks more relevant with all of her super smart "advice." I don't believe that Loomer could convince Trump about what to have for lunch, much less this.

You come from a generation that trusts the press, especially establishment media, period. I get it and I was there at one point too. The vast majority are partisan AF and are not above embellishments or creative storytelling to support a narrative.

Fair enough, 1137. Do you trust any of the press to be balanced?

I can see how you would perhaps see partisanship in this excerpt from the article:

"Trump has a long history of elevating and associating with people who trade in falsehoods and conspiracy theories, and he regularly amplifies posts on his social media site shared by those like Loomer, who promotes QAnon, an apocalyptic and convoluted conspiracy theory centered on the belief that Trump is fighting the “deep state.”"

Coming from another perspective, I don’t doubt this, but I will concede that it is an opinion.

Do you trust right leaning news organizations? If not, where do you get your news?

I think they are all biased….its just that the bias is like 95% left and 5% right. Almost 💯 of “journalists “ lol , are liberal coming out of those liberal schools

That dipshit that runs npr said they weren’t biased. Lmfao even Bill Maher called out her stupid ass

No, sadly I don't. I read what's out there, from multiple sources and from different camps. The truth is almost always somewhere near the middle, sometimes slightly skewed to one side or the other.

That's where we are today. And btw we didn't get there by accident. I've mentioned this before but I took a few journalism classes in college because it interested me. In the last one I took, we had a lot of debates as part of the course. Sometimes we had to defend liberalism and other times conservativism. It was an exercise of understanding and defending a position.

One day I was defending conservativism and I was annihilating the other position. The instructor paused the debate several times and replaced the person debating me. Eventually he stood in and debated me personally and he was fcking furious. He started cussing at me and attempted to make the "argument" personal. The following week he called me into his office and apologized, complimented me on my intelligence and debate skills and flatly warned me that I would NEVER truly find a home in journalism given my political ideology.

I was never going to be a journalist...but that conversation was eye opening for me.

That's all I'm saying.

And I do understand where they are coming from but the bias, the desire to side against a MFer that they don't like, it's almost always obvious in their articles.

It's their fcking job to not fall prey to that emotion. Report facts and let the reader decide. Stop telling stories or creating your own narrative.

And you said Konigs was “in the middle leaning to the right”……
🤣
