I think that if this were any other election, people wouldn't be shelling out fake news to attempt to take down the next president to take office. At least not to this extent. Buzzfeed at the end of the day were really just trying to get under Donald Trump's skin because we all expected it to get to him. The same could be said about Merryl Streep's speech. She said that and purposely didn't say his name because she knew that it would get to him. And guess what? It did.

You purposely left out when I said "at least not to this extent".

I still don't see what you're getting at. I'm not implying it's never been done. But show me in the last 8 years when Obama got upset and threw a tantrum over a report on the internet.

I'm talking about media factions campaigning against the president, not the president's reaction.

Well I don't disagree with that, but that's not my point in the first place. News outlets or "fake news" outlets are putting out stories about Trump because they know it'll get under his skin. He reacts to it every time, and that's at the end of the day what people are hungry for.

I see what you mean now and agree.

Well damn. Is this what it feels like to have a civil discussion with you? I like this.

How many more times will the word "unprecedented" be used in regard to a US President in the next 4 years?

I'm going with 1,836.

Sarah Palin is masturbating to all of this BTW.
