Talk:Mainstream media and Donald Trump (view source)

::The fact that you "strongly disagree" is probably a good reason to avoid editing this article. This is not a list of Donald Trump achievements, this is an objective encyclopedia article, where we avoid inserting individual opinions. What we think about Donald Trump's approach to the media or the media's approach to Donald Trump should be left out of the article. Just state the facts. If you have a Donald Trump source, it can be added. If we are talking about the mainstream media, we should add footnotes to that as well.

::Regarding the tweet, President Trump phrased his tweet as a policy announcement. Any person regardless of their views of the issue would want to know if it was an official decision, so I do not blame reporters for asking for clarification of it. I sleep better at night knowing that the Pentagon will not follow orders delivered by Twitter. Twitter can be hacked, and in a matter of life and death, I don't want America to run the risk of a faked Presidentail tweet.

:::If I strongly agree with an edit, I am not going to just sit back while you ruin the article with your edits. What political issue do you feel strongly about? Russia? Something else? Are you going to just sit back as the other side makes gains? Your reasoning is as ridiculous as your edits.
:::As you said, the tweet was a policy '''''announcement'''''. We have seen it before: the MSM frequently distorts Trump's words. If we should add this, the main point should be how the MSM treated Trump's announcement as some executive order -- it is another example of MSM bias and bad reporting. I don't think anyone seriously believes that the military is going to follow Trump's twitter statements -- like they always have, the military is going to follow official orders. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:24, 26 August 2017 (EDT)
