Trump reportedly so unhappy with how things are going he is considering firing everyone expect for Jared and Ivanka
- LooOOooL! Only five months in and he's already taking the plane crash option.face_melter
- what is this, fan fiction? therrs nothing here to indicate he headline is remotely truemonospaced
- Well a lot of stories are based on anonymous sources but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Mike Allen is a pretty well connected, respected reporter in Washington.yuekit
- Gotcha. So what was convincing here? Even the reports don't indicate he's taking about replacing his entire staff!monospaced
- Sure he might be frustrated, I don't need an insider confidant to tell me that ... but there's not even a verified quote from trump that this headline is rightmonospaced
- Not literally the entire staff but Reince Priebus, Bannon and Spicer who are three of the biggest players.yuekit
- I don't think it's realistic to expect on the record comment directly from Trump on every story...as if he can be trusted anyway to report on himself :)yuekit
- I think it's realistic to expect journalists to gather quotes to back up pieces that would otherwise be considered nothing more than bullshit gossip otherwise.monospaced
- Lowering that standard is exactly what he problem is today. If there is nothing concrete to back up a story as idiotic as this, then don't write it! It IS fake.monospaced
- I hate trump as much as anyone but I still expect reports to be accurate if their sole purpose is to criticize him.monospaced
- This is nothing new though...journalism has relied on anonymous sources for a long time. The Watergate scandal would never have been reported on, a lot of theyuekit
- Bush era terrorism programs such as torture and NSA surveillance would have never come to light.yuekit
- Personally I think it's a misconception that there is all this "fake news" out there...it's something Trump is trying to push in order to discredit any negativeyuekit
- stories about him.yuekit
- fake news denier. lol********
- expect********
- Sure, except HE is the fucking problem. Go ahead, replace everyone, the result will be exactly the same.CygnusZero4
