That’s what you get for being the party of Trump.

Warbs, blaming the Republican Party is a pastime of the media. I wish this was something new that started with Trump’s election.

A clean desk is a sure sign of a dirty mind!
And where the heck are all the photos of family and loved ones? Even fictional presidents have photos behind the desk.

Also, I didn’t know Trumpy collected POGS…

I believe the only picture he has on that desk behind him is of his father, Fred Trump.

JEDIT: Wikipedia says he has a letter from Nixon and portraits of his parents in the Oval Office.

Not enough facepalms in the world. I don’t know what’s worse: that after a US Senator was informed he was personally helping spread Russian propaganda, the Senator’s first instinct was to pretend he wasn’t just personally implicated and yell “Fake News!” at the media, or that, for his followers, that’s probably a good enough reaction.

Favorite Twitter response to his suggestion that “the Press” in particular needs to work to avoid spreading so much Russian propaganda on Twitter:

Funny. Most people only use one “s” when abbreviating “president.”

I guess what I am saying is that right now, I don’t feel a bit sorry for the party that supports Trump. If they want me to care about whether or not the media is unfairly blaming them, they need to first dump Trump.

One would think the desk of the President would be full of papers to go through and read and things requiring his signature and what not. (And in these days a laptop or tablet or something like that)

I don’t see any allegation of “Fake News!” here. When he says, “All of us need to step up,” I think he is clearly including himself and Congress. However he is engaged in damage control as he is placing responsibility on social media companies and the press to weed out these attempts by foreign powers too. I think he is saying the press needs to help identify these efforts by foreign powers.

We should keep in mind what counts here as “personally helping spread Russian propaganda”: something as small as liking a tweet that might have been put forward by a Russian agent. I don’t attribute lots of blame to a person who likes a tweet, worse retweets it, or horror-of-horrors follows the account that says stuff that sounds good.

We have found out that Russia was spending money to advance all kinds of issues, including ads ostensibly for Black Lives Matter. People all over America unwittingly spread Russian propaganda. And that’s never going to change. I think these kinds of attempts by foreign powers are feeble. Greater awareness is probably the best we can do.

The Republican Party deserves to be blamed for a lot of things. It’s been so destructive for so long that I’m never going to be shedding any tears over how “mean” the media is being to it.

I don’t expect anyone to shed tears or feel sorry for a political party. Maybe for the lack of fair and objective media. If the media wished to hold the Democratic Party to account on the same terms for the destructive things it has done, I think that would be a much better state of affairs.

You do realize “the media” includes plenty of right-wing outlets, right? Including a giant oneml that’s as biased as any media outlet out there? Also includes plenty of people doing actual objective journalism.

I actually searched for what an ‘oneml’ was before I realized you probably just meant ‘one.’
