I couldn't bring myself to even click on those. The media has cried wolf for so long with Trump, if I see a headline saying "Trump to start WW3", I'm just going to think, boy, the NY Times just keeps hitting new lows and not even click it.

You didn't see that the man literally drew an extra, obviously out of place circle on the official hurricane projection map to make his previous erroneous tweet seem correct? You're missing out. While the error itself is unlikely to start WW3 or tank the stock market, it certainly does cause one to ask questions.

  The Trump admin has been doing that stuff from day one with the "alternative facts" thing. I can't keep up with every unpresidential move these guys make. On the plus side, I did just see Trump just fired Bolton which makes war feel a bit less likely.

    He'll just nominate Elliot Abrams to replace him.

      So, I'm sure if Elliot Abrams starts a war, the NY Times will convince you to support it. Just like the NY Times and Samantha Power convinced corporate Democrats to cheer while Obama destroyed Libya with 400 million dollars worth of bombs.

        Probably not. I find Sanders' support of the military industrial entertainment complex troubling.

Your example of the "media crying wolf" on Trump has left members of his inner circle in jail for lying about their connections to Russia. Hardly "crying wolf".

  Wow, so the witch hunt managed to pinch a few people on technicalities. Of all the problems in America this is what they waste time on? I thought Democrats were supposed to be better than Ken Starr, but apparently not. Democrats love to say how putting your political opponents in prison is a dictator's move, yet they just spent the last two years trying to do exactly that. Nice misdirection from a rotten party.
