Company forced to retool Super Bowl ad that depicted Trump’s border wall. See full ad here.

Reason 4,861 to love the Internet;
When a media conglomerate tries to bury some type of information they disagree with, it will find it's way out.

That full video got me.

Seriously instead of calling it fake news do your job and give facts as to why it is. Yeah I know...But Obama....Well yeah go back to the old president and state I lost (who are the snowflakes again?). Good for those folks but if this President now is stating he wants to bring the country together then reach out and discuss those issues with the people that oppose you or what you deem as "fake news".

FAKE NEWS should be reserved for April 1st.

Or you can easily say "I wasn't elected to follow polls, I was elected to be a leader."

The trouble with that is the Constitutional argument, but at least it's better than just stating "facts" as you see them. This shit is leadership 101. And since Trump clearly doesn't understand how policy works, you would think he could at least get that part down.

You know it would be nice if just once Trump would include a link to one of these stories that the Times has gotten wrong? Is that too much to ask?

Yeah, but who can figure out how links work? It's not like they make it easy to do right on the page of the article you are reading or anything.

It's a remarkable coincidence that the time the paper started being the "failing NYTimes" and "fake news" occurred around the time he became a Presidential candidate and stories critical of him started running. What unlucky timing.

A few blocks away from Aljasem, John Dutcher, a 61-year-old house cleaner, lives in a complex of low-rise apartments in a neighborhood where American flags flapped on porches. After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Dutcher said he was “one of those guys who would want to put a pig’s head on a mosque. I never acted on it, but I played it in my head.”

“I hated Muslims,” he said.

For years, Dutcher’s neighbors were meth addicts and rowdy alcoholics. Slobs. In June, a Syrian family who spoke no English moved in. Another family moved in after that, then another. Now there are six.

Soon enough, Dutcher said, empty bottles in the hallway were replaced with children’s bicycles. The loud arguments of a drug-addicted couple were replaced by the sounds of children’s laughter.

“The Muslims here were all about family and they just loved everyone,” Dutcher said. “I remember the people who lived here before; they took for granted everything this country gave them. These people, they really changed my heart.”

Through interpreters, he learned about the families’ stories of loss and fleeing war. It softened his stance on Islam and led him to question some of what Trump was saying. Around refugees, he never felt safer.

“I used to be afraid when the meth addicts were here,” he said. “Now I don’t even look to see who’s knocking on my door. I know it will be someone with a plate of food or a kid asking me to fix his bike.”

Dutcher said he continues to support Trump’s views on strong borders and curbing illegal immigration, but said his experience taught him that “refugees were a different thing entirely.”

“I like him, but I don’t like the way he’s carried out this ban,” Dutcher said. “I didn’t think he’d make a blunder so fast.”

Actually, you should probably disregard the above, it's from the Washington Post, so it's just more fake news.

Press secretary Sean Spicer said Monday that the White House will provide a list of terrorist attacks President Trump claims the media did not cover.

Spicer's commitment to provide a list comes hours after Trump claimed the "dishonest press" won't report on terrorist attacks because of unspecified "reasons."

“We’ll provide a list later. There’s several instances …There’s a lot of instances that have occurred where I don’t think they’ve gotten the coverage it deserved,” Spicer told reporters.

I didn't see one word from Trump about the terrorist attack at the mosque in Quebec City, pretty sure the media covered that one extensively. Maybe Trump remained quiet because it didn't quite fit his agenda?

Im sorry, I thought you were pro Trump?

And where did your grandparents come from? Did they put up with discrimination because of who they were (Irish need not apply) and where they were from? And would you have been OK with the so called leader of this country making straw man type arguments against them?

Oh hell, did I miss an insult? Damn edited out before I seen it.

Not sure if the content remains the same without your barbs, but Scotland, I do believe that I stated that.

It took 18 years because of quotas and restrictions. My grandmother came here as a child in 1911, being the oldest daughter, she did not see her mother again until she was married and had my uncle in 1929.

I'm not necessarily pro Trump, but was definitely anti Clinton (both of them) and any affirmation of Obama.

Life gives everyone a different perspective and rationale for our reasoning, I learn through debate and reading, I enjoy it.

It took my parents 8 years (they were in England at the time) before they received their visas to emigrate to Canada. I'm no fan of Trump (can you tell by my posts), but I can't stand Hillary either. As for the your last sentence above, I heartily concur, I've learned more in the past few months reading this thread and I appreciate the contributions the people continue to make to this thread.

The list will have the words "Bowling Green Massacre" angrily crossed out.

Curious so I googled it.

From this list do you remember coverage on all of these? No opinion from me, be honest.

Cheers. It was a worthless post. I asked for the whole thing to be removed. Nothing personal.
