Which ever way you look at it, the economy in the US, is improving under a Trump Presidency. Think I will measure this as a performance indicator. Rather than rely on the liberal MSM.
I cannot be interested in something I don't believe. I just base my own opinions on the fact that Democrats have lost all Senate seat elections since Trumps inauguration. The last one having them spent tens of millions of dollars and the Republicans still beat them, must have stung having spent so much and still losing, sure Republican majorities shrank, but a win is still a win.
And to top it off you now got Democrats switching allegiances and becoming a Republican.

Trump may be responsible for the country booming or it may be booming in spite of him, that's not the debate. Perceptions matter and the country feels that Trump is not performing well as a US president compared to his predecessors.
This website analyses all approval ratings which shows this.

But it's possible to have that bias and still strive to be honest. The problem to me is the increasing hyper-partisan 'press' where they're more activists than journalists. Infowars, The Canary or most other things that fall under the umbrella of 'alternative media', basically people who report whatever they want so long as it furthers their own agenda. Truth literally doesn't matter. They wouldn't follow a story for a year to make sure they have the evidence before printing.

Great post. I think that's what's more worrying is the way that this has crossed into some of the mainstream media, mostly due to journalistic cutbacks. The Express has always been opinionated but there would be degree of verification of the stories it published. Nowadays, it is happy to publish anything that supports its position even if it's from an obscure "expert".
