I agree with much of what he's saying there...

I don't really do the whole "mainstream media" hate in general; I zero in on cable news. I think the cable news is heavily responsible for stoking anger and division in America. That's how they get ratings and make all their money. I honestly believe if people turned that stuff off, we'd be much better off.
Now, I do not say they are responsible for this bombing event, for the reasons I explained in my thread below. And neither did the President blame them here, at least not explicitly. Of course, many will infer that from his comments because of the timing.
The President also bears much responsibility for the anger and hostility. As the single most impactful man in America, his words have more impact than any other individual's. And he fails mightily, every day, in calming anger and bridging divisions. Public discourse could improve if he began to lead by example. Then, after him, the congressional leaders.

whoever takes office after this guy has their work cut out for them as far undoing the precedent of lying that has become the new norm in the Whitehouse. I can guarantee the right will project all of Trumps faults onto whichever Dem takes office next.

The dems are pretty good at blaming others with apology tours, changing there tune on illegal immigration and trying to take credit for the booming economy now that o'bummer is out of office.  Apple stock and others started going up as soon as that turkey was out of the white house. During the previous admins last months Apple was between 96 and 98 a share. Right now it is $219.44.
obamma did more damage to the US than anyone ever before. ####, just look at the bickering in a friendly chat room and then go look at rally's. Listen to Maxine Waters and other lefties incite violence.... Never have I seen so much HATE! Within the last 10 years we've stooped to third world political tactics. You can't deny that.

LOL. Apple was around 11 when Obama took office.

So, it rose about 900% while he was in office. I don’t think Obama had much to do with it though. Trump is more to blame for the political hate than anyone. He trolls any and everyone.

That's an interesting conclusion given you just unloaded on Obama and Dems. Hate much?

No doubt that Pres Trump is a moran. Also no doubt the media

contributes to the divisiveness issue. I've noticed recently the CNN generally puts an opinion piece as it's headline. That's not what a "news" outlet should do.
In the Pres Obama years - FoxNews made it pretty obvious that Obama spent his Saturday mornings cutting the ears off of baby bunnies, just for fun.

Definitely see that a lot on CNN.com, yes.

I agree, it's not right. I never click on the ones that say "Opinion" or "Analysis," which is just another way to say "opinion".

I don't either. The bold headline at the top of a site is

not the place for "news" folks to state their opinions (in my opinion).
CNN and others have figured out the general public is not smart enough to think for themselves, so they can spark a little discourse just by posting an inflammatory headline.
