    100,000 crazy uncles in the Midwest put a deeply mentally ill man in the White House

    Have you confirmed the part where the police told the media that this was a "fact" or did Kohn make up that part?

    Getting the scoop is always worth getting your sources killed.

    SLOS*: Fake news is a huge problem! It's what's the matter with Kansas!

    @YankeeFan: You mean fake news like this?

    SLOS: That's not fake news! You're changing the definition of fake news!

    @YankeeFan: What's fake news and what's not fake news?

    SLOS: Fake news is the inaccurate stuff that Trump's voters believe.

    @YankeeFan: What about the inaccurate stuff that non-Trump voters believe?

    SLOS: That's not the same thing! That's journalism! You're ignorant about journalism! You're doing that "Look over there!" thing!

    See, you're doing exactly what you would condemn others for.

    You have no training as a mental health professional, and no mental health professional, who has examined Donald Trump, has determined he has any mental illness.

    Yet, you continue to say this.

    You would be mortified if this was done to someone on "your side". But, your defense here will be that you are "right" in this case.

    So, in some cases its ok to determine someone's mental health issue from watching them on TV? What are the guidelines for this?

    The same as saying someone has MS from watching TV.

    He either is or he isn't. I'm either right or wrong. Tilting against the hypocrisy windmill that dominates your mental landscape isn't going to change whether I'm right or wrong.

    Wait a second, people aren't seriously defending the reporting that came out of CNN's Baghdad bureau, are they?

    I thought that when this all was learned after the Iraq war, the condemnation was universal. Am I wrong? Did something change?

    They surely could have closed their bureau, and not traded coverage of a brutal dictator for access.

    I am making a broad point and don't believe that any of the examples you cited were worth broadcasting if it was going to get someone killed. You may disagree.

    Do you really doubt that Trump has Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Diagnosed or not? I would say there is little doubt.

    Now, where that fits in the mental health serious level, I am not sure. It may be closer to a case of gout than stage 4 colon cancer.

    Fake News: Hillary looks sick

    Main Stream News: Hillary is definitely not sick. This story is untrue and should not even be discussed

    (Hillary collapses, ditches her press pool, and then varying stories are told until they settle on the idea that she has a non-contagious case of pneumonia.)

    Fans of Fake News: Told you!

    Main Stream Media: Why Hillary's health matters.
