46. People, be wary of opinions that repeat Trump's opinions of the news.

It's very odd that there are several posts here that are repeating Trump's opinions.

The news organizations are not "fake news," like Trump says. They are not "the enemy of the people," like Trump says.

The way it works is: The news orgs pass on facts and events. That is news. Either a video of a noteworthy Presidential speech (and that speech in Pa was apparently newsworthy, as we all later found out), or a story reciting the facts of it, or an investigative piece reciting facts and events.

THEN there will be the analysis section, where opinions and/or discussions are held, digesting and discussing and giving opinions on the facts & events that were reported.

For example, you will find on CNN a video of all or part of Trump's Pa. speech. It speaks for itself. THEN you find some analysis of it, like, "The 64 most outrageous lines from Donald Trump's untethered Pennsylvania speech." https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/11/politics/trump-speech-pennsylvania/index.html
