*** Official Politics Shitposting Thread ***

[Jack Sawyer]

Agreed. And if someone in power was watching a single news source and "executing their sole advice" it would be a problem. However, if someone merely has their policy leanings influenced by public opinion, or has questions raised that are cogent to policy-making, then it's not a problem. You're conflating the two just so you can create a statement that sounds "true enough" and use it to attack the political opposition.

That's called demagoguery

If you're suggesting that Trump took military action against a hostile nation just so he could distract from a public relations nuisance then you're playing a retarded correlation/causation game that you really should be ashamed of. If you're suggesting that he couldn't formulate that idea on his own, but instead did it because he saw someone say it on TV, then you should probably just withdraw from this discussion because it's clear you aren't willing to keep your opinions within the realm of sanity.

First we need to establish he does watch it religously

I know you hate Vox, but here goes. Broken clocks tend to be right twice a day. At the 3:31, earnhard or whatever her name is says this

So what does the president need to do to change the narrative

Same thing she said in the other video I linked. Take a guess as to what Trump did next in every case she or some of the others on the panel say(s) this.



And I swear to god I did not know about this video until today. But there were countless examples of this exact phenomenon out there, in plain view except for those who literally refuse to see. It's not like it's the Zapruder film either

Here are just a few samples you can continue refusing that happened, as apparently they are not "reality" nor "within the realm of sanity"

False

You've never heard of the Presidential Daily Briefing right?

I hope that is not news to you, but you act as if you have no clue as to WTF it is

LOL, wake up dude. It's 2018. There is no longer a line between "news" and "analysis and commentary". That's not a problem isolated to Fox.

I didn't claim Fox News is not news. They themselves know and admit this full well

The news part of the name is just some cruel irony on its audience

Even so, how do you propose the president find out what his constituents think about what's going on?

Is watching Fox and Friends the only way he can do this? Oh, here's a clue: it's a rhetorical question banana
