I can give you scores of examples of the media misrepresenting stories, and presenting incomplete or untruthful information that seems designed to harm the right.

So, you presentation of how wrong the media got it is that Trump wasn't making fun a a single person with a disability, but makes fun of lots of different people by comparing them to people with disabilities in his gestures/vocalizations? That's your standard for misrepresentation?

Then, almost every news story ever, on either side.

Lol. Still waiting for you to post a single story that demonstrates the medias intentional misrepresentation of liberal politicians that you claimed exists.

He straight up told you that he’s not wasting his time providing anything as he feels you won’t give it any consideration.

Feel how you want about that, but why would you still be waiting?

He keeps weighing in on my posts. I think it would make sense to back up his claims.

I didn't watch the while thing. He was crying in the video?

I'm not sure "an act" is correct. There is a lot a space between completely genuine and an act.

No. He claimed that he posted a video of himself crying on Facebook the morning after Trump was elected.

I have not been weighing in on posts about media representation since I made my determination.

How convenient of you to crash a conversation and make an unsubstantiated claim and then claim that you have no obligation to substantiate it. Goodbye.

Howard Dean's "scream" comes to mind.

How did that misrepresent him? I think it was an unfortunate moment for him and might not have been characteristic of his overall demeanor, but it was unedited and real. And it went on and on and on and on. Are you suggesting that there is some context he wanted to share about that moment that went unreported? What is it?

Yeah most of the coverage I remember about the scream was more along the lines of "hey check this out, it's funny" but I wouldn't call it in any way misrepresented.

I crashed a conversation that was about our interaction? OK.

With the very low bar you have set for misrepresentation of Trump (for example, saying he was making fun a single disabled reporter, when supposedly he is making fun of people by saying they have disabilities), I would maintain that just about every news story misrepresents the target. They always simplify, exaggerate for ratings, etc. The only proof I need for that is the front page of any media company, any day.

Of course, none of this matters to you, because you have a set world view that can not be disrupted by evidence. @Stoked was not quite right; I don't doubt your sincerity at all. You firmly believe that conservatives get picked on by some supposed highly liberal media, and you could never be convinced otherwise.

Sincerity in the light of actually listening and engaging in good faith materiel presented.
 
Best thing about No Collusion Day is that it's every day! Well unless of course we are talking about Hillary and a certain uranium deal.
