Once Trump establishes his Ministry of Truth, the press will become irrelevant and just fade away, so what does it matter what they report?

I don't subscribe to the Wall Street Journal so I can't post the article, however, they had a good article yesterday, or the day before, about the petulance of Trump, and the WSJ is hardly a left wing media source. People like Dog, Grumpy, and others, will never accept the corruption, and cowardice, or Trump until it is too late. They are too old to have to worry about actually fighting for the country so why care. They cannot accept the fact that HRC received 3 million more votes they Trump in spite of her own corruption. Instead they will rely on dishonest polling, and the lies of their newest god. I pity the country, and especially the young who will have to fight the war this coward in chief will surely start. I am advising all members of my family not to join the military. Never thought I would, however, we lost one to the coward Bush's phony war, we will not lose any to this cowards war.

"That night, the Republican Party and Trump's campaign websites posted a "Mainstream Media Accountability Survey" that asked 25 questions that were worded in a way that would never be allowed in a scientific survey. The survey formalized Trump's attacks and his insinuation that media outlets are working against the American people. It's unclear what, if anything, the data will be used for, and participants are required to give their name, email address and Zip code.
The first asks: "Do you believe that the mainstream media has reported unfairly on our movement?" It then asks whether the survey-taker believes that MSNBC, CNN or Fox News "report fairly on Trump's presidency," allowing for answers of "yes," "no" or "no opinion." Those surveyed are also asked their primary source of news, with options limited to those three cable networks, along with "local news." There is no mention of specific newspapers, websites, magazines or non-cable networks.
Other questions ask whether the survey-takers think the media does "due diligence fact-checking before publishing stories on the Trump administration," if it fairly reported on the rollout of Trump's travel ban, if "political correctness has created biased news coverage on both illegal immigration and radical Islamic terrorism" and if the media has been "far too quick to spread false stories about our movement." Participants can also indicate which issues the media does "the worst job of representing Republicans" on, with the option to pick as many topics as they like.
The final question: "Do you believe that our Party should spend more time and resources holding the mainstream media accountable?"

WaPo ?
He will never catch BO or HRC
The press rendered themselves irrelevant years ago. Remember GungaDan and his word processed documents from the 60s ?

What are you talking about, your fantasy world where Trump tells no lies? Hell, he surpassed them in one week alone.

You may note that I did not say no lies but that messes up your rant.

Doesn't mess up a thing I said. For one thing, you never admit to any of Trumps lies. And for the second point you think he lies less then Hillary, or Obama.
It is all your fantasy.

The interesting difference is that Trump's lies are so blatant....
It didn't rain at my inauguration, when it obviously did.
I got the most electoral votes of all, when Obama, Bush, etc. got more.
I got the most popular votes,
etc.
My favorite Trump lies are still that Obama was born in Kenya, that three million illegals voted for Hillary, and that thousands of Muslims celebrated in New Jersey when the attack of 9/11 was carried out.
But, I could still be persuaded that there are better ones. There are so many to choose from, after all.

The sad part is that so many actually believe his lies, and when he is caught he just lies some more, and then says the media is not against him, the media is against the country. And these damn fools still believe him. It is like he never said he had investigators in Hawaii, and boy were the people going to be surprised at to what they had found. Of course, they never found out a damn thing. Then his tax returns. He was supposed to release them. Of course, he never even proved he was under audit. Then there was he was going to turn control of his businesses to his sons, and yet her never has, and the papers he presented that supposedly said he had were blanks sheets of paper, and he wouldn't let the press see them. The latest was the numbers of illegal voters, and none of them voted for him of course, and he never has, nor will he, proved his lie. Of course, the reality that his own daughter, and 4 of his advisors including Steve Bannon, are registered to vote in two different States is irrelevant.
And then Grumpy removes my post for calling people like him "idiots".

Is it lies or just maybe he hasn't got a clue about what he's talking about? Makes you wonder what the point of the legion of highly paid advisors is all about if his security brief comes from Fox news. The lad's living in a fantasy world.
It could be that he actually believes all of the crazy things he says, so he's not lying at all.
