Allowing ReTrumplicans to spout nonsense unopposed is NOT "News"

So please "journalist", do us a favor.

The next time you ask some Trump supporting hayseed a question, and they give you a bullshit answer, feel free to point out the actual facts.

If you ask some knuckle-dragging ReTrumplican about President Obama’s birth, and they give you some-such shit as; “oh, he’s a Kenyan born Islamic “terrist”, it’s NOT news to report that. That would be “stenography”.

See, that’s where someone tells you some shit, and you just smile and say “smells like shit to me”…back to you Jim.

“NEWS”, on the other hand, would be you smacking the Trumplican up-side the head with the “truth”.

See, how that works?

You don’t actually just have to “record” what any old idiot says and then replay it for the rest of us. We heard it the first time.
Amazingly, you can even “challenge” someone’s response.

Imagine that!

If some old, white, Rush listening shit for brains ignoramus tells you that “if’n we cut tham thar tashes on the richy-rich makers, it will “trickle all down” to us white folks”, you have the ability...no, YOU HAVE THE DUTY...to point out that they are full of shit.

If they tell you they “just hate that ‘Obama-cares’ that gave all the health care and smart phones to black people and illegal aliens”, but that they “love and are happy with the Affordable Care Act”…it's OK to challenge that.

Thus ends today's Journalism 101 class.
