But, still...weird rueters finds the story and none until they did.

Hey mooby, any guess why CNN not running the shooters name from Toronto on the front page? I see they updated their story at 6 pm and promptly removed (buried it) in their world page. Not a peep of the most circulating story from the last 24 hours.

Muslim I guess? Doesn’t fit the narrative they wanted of crazy white guy mass shooter? Possible terrorist just shouldn’t be news...

Yet , you don't know so your "assumption" is to fit your narrative.

Not an assumption if NYT, Wa post, nbc news, etc chose not to run a story.

What’s the bigger story, a Russian spy at the national prayer breakfast or meeting with top obama adminstration officials?

Clearly biased and news sources which cannot be trusted to tell the American public the entire story.

Here is Washington Post printing fake news before researching the story:

7/19 they publish story "We don't tip terrorist" Texas Restaurant bans customer who leaves message....

Today they have killed the link to that story and now provide updated link stating the kid made up the story.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.a4bcdb31e2b4

So without researching the story, they run with it reporting it as fact to take advantage of a politically charged and identity politics driven atmosphere in order to spread a false narrative.

G1 file this under Washington Post reporting fake news.

Thank you for proving my point chico. You claim the "Washington Post is reporting "fake news" all they did was report what happen,they are called facts being a trump fan I realize you are not use to them ,as did all the other media outlets,ALL of THEM!. You are the bias one,you can not be subjective.You're attacks about the media are pointless now.

You claim it was the Washington Post..................

Here are just some of the other outlets......

More media, then media bias

Gotta love when news and opinion clash:
below is the lead column on CNN.

Quote:

US and EU agree to work toward zero tariffs
Both sides agreed to halt for now tariffs that threatened to devolve into a trade war as negotiations proceed
Trump: My favorite word is reciprocal
Europe and the US have the world's most important business ties
The trade war is starting to hurt American automakers
China is killing my business. Now tariffs are too
Opinion: Why the US and the EU need a trade ceasefire
Opinion: Trump's fast and loose trade policy endangers American jobs

{emphasis mine}

Bottom line I see some winning going on-

Great economy,
freeer EU trade,
NK declaring amnesty for crimes against the country (I am really interested to see how that plays out),
Low unemployment across the board,
20 dollars in my pocket each week.
There really are a lot more, but I don't want heads exploding on my conscience

Spin away those who think more about Russia than what's really happening to everyday citizens, spin away.

Very good read.............

While we're happy Granite City has those jobs coming back, it's a lot harder to see the jobs that are lost or not created in the rest of the state because of the tariffs," said Illinois Chamber of Commerce President Todd Maisch. He described the administration's policies as "really negative" for most of Illinois, the nation's fifth-largest economy.

Richard Guebert, a farmer and president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, said he told Vice President Mike Pence during a meeting last week that there's "a lot of angst" among farmers after several tough years and with another strong crop likely to lower prices this year. He worries particularly about whether young farmers will be able to keep going in a state where one of every four rows of soybeans is exported to China.

"Older, more seasoned farmers have a better asset base. They can weather storms like this," Guebert said. "The young farmers are having a definite challenge."

A $12 billion aid package the administration announced Tuesday to help farmers hurt by the trade disputes is "a start," Guebert said, but "won't make farmers whole in the face of continued trade tensions."

Factories around the region also have been hurt. Mid Continent Nail Corp. in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, has shuttered a multimillion-dollar plant and is "on the brink of extinction."

The company, which says it's the nation's largest nail manufacturer, employed 510 workers before Trump raised tariffs on June 1 but has since slashed its workforce to 370, spokesman James Glassman said. The tariffs led to a big jump in the price of steel wire, the raw material Mid Continent imports from Mexico to make nails. When Mid Continent raised its prices 25 percent, customers turned to cheaper foreign-made nails.

"This is a county that went 79 percent for Trump so people are certainly willing to give him the benefit of the doubt," Glassman said. "But their jobs are at stake because of this misguided tariff."

This is an OPINION Piece...............

Giantone · 07-26-2018, 09:16 PM

Another Opinion piece that nails it nicely.

https://www.sfgate.com/opinion/artic...pid=newsrecirc

...just part of it.

* A TRUCE IN TRADE WAR, OR JUST A LULL? Trump and the European Union have backed away from a destructive trade war and have pledged to negotiate to lower tariffs, but the New York Times points out:

"It was hard to say, given Mr. Trump's bluster and unpredictable negotiating style, if the agreement was a genuine truce or merely a lull in a conflict that could flare up again. Twice, Mr. Trump's aides have negotiated potential deals with China, only to have him reject them and impose further tariffs."

The problem: It's never clear what Trump will need to declare victory, because he often rails at mistreatment of America that isn't real. If he starts feeling like a loser again, all bets are off.

* DRIVE TO IMPEACH ROSENSTEIN PUTS GOP IN TOUGH SPOT: House conservatives allied with Trump have introduced impeachment articles against deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein. But The Post reports:

"House Republican aides said that if a member tried to force a vote on the measure, leaders probably would move to send it to the House Judiciary Committee for further review, effectively bottling it up indefinitely. But that could still be an uncomfortable vote for many Republicans who are under pressure from conservative groups - and the voters who follow them - to unseat the man who oversees the investigation Trump routinely denigrates as a 'witch hunt.'"

So GOP leaders don't want a full vote on this to happen. Let's see if they strongly defend the integrity of the investigation and forcefully denounce this bad faith nonsense for what it is.

A Great Read! Yes it's opinion.

To my Republican friends: Itâ€™s time to let Trump go - Chicago Tribune

When a friend is in trouble, our instinct is to try and steer them away from danger.

Sometimes that means putting the friendship on the line by saying things they don’t want to hear. You gently nudge them toward the light when their eyes are blind to the truth.

This message is for my Republican friends — those smart and compassionate people I argue with fiercely over political ideology but with whom I share an unfaltering respect for our democracy.

My friends, you are in an abusive relationship with Donald Trump. It is time to let him go.

So is Russian colluding with actual activist to divide the country? This side of the Russian interference is certainly the more under reported story.

Facebook said the "Resisters" page, which organized the "No Unite the Right 2" event, recruited real activists who "unwittingly helped build interest in" the event" and posted information about transportation, materials, and locations so people could get to the protests."

One page promoted a "No Unite the Right 2" march -- a counter demonstration to a planned "Unite the Right" event to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the march in Charlottesville in which a woman was killed. There was also an effort to amplify the "Abolish ICE" message pushed by liberals, the source said

Giantone · 07-31-2018, 04:48 PM

LOL, under reported no. Coming from the side that said there was no such thing in the first place I find that funny.

Here's hoping Acosta stays out, and CNN stops the aggressive attacks on Sanders/Trump
