| You are right about this story. But honestly this is the first story I've seen there that presents him in a positive light in the past 6 months or so. In fact, I assumed they wouldn't report on it at all since it broke yesterday morning or early afternoon and they mentioned firings in the disarray story. Sure, I know about opinion pages, but sometimes the opinions can cloud people's judgement. Regarding Fox news - they've been going back and forth. Fox news already ruined their reputation in the past with biased pro establishment republican reporting. I view them as an alternative news source at this point. They don't outright lie, but they bend the truth in such a way that the message becomes whatever their narrative is at the time. Edit:
Regarding professional protesters: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-15/whos-behind-portlan... This is not a great source, but you can check that indeed they are from out of state. Some of the protesters who are organizing with megaphones were previously on Dem payrolls. There were also pictures of some of the same protesters in multiple cities all over the country. Moveon organizes some of the protests: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/mar/13/moveonorg-ra... craigslist ads advertising pay for protesters (this one is not very good source, but I can't find a better one right now and can't find any archive links):
http://truthfeed.com/breaking-bitter-soros-hiring-team-of-fu... Snopes article on the protesters claims that it's unproven:
http://www.snopes.com/craigslist-ad-trump-rally/ Wikileaks previously showed that DNC campaign posted craigslist ads (not for protests but for fake story):

Otherwise, economic condition for many people would get worse partly because of outsourcing and partly because of tech advances. UBI is not ready yet. When the economy is poor, this has historically led to radicalization of various groups. We already see traces of it in US. I think it makes sense to appeal to these groups and fix some of their problems. |
