No, it's not "to satisfy emotions," it's doing their due diligence to their audience in providing a check on a President who has absolutely no regard for the truth, & who has (time & again) used complete fabrications to stir his supporters into a frenzy.

Omar Baddar claimed, without evidence, that journalists are doing their due diligence People dont pause to speak evidence usually when making a point but Trump cited a google employee who said on the record they are biased

There's a track record, Tim. Remember when Trump claimed "unknown Middle Easterners" were hiding in the migrant caravan & that turned out to be a lie? U should be mad at the Prez for forcing journalists to issue disclaimers b/c he's proven to constantly make up outrageous claims.

Trump did cite evidence CNBC posted fake news My god today is the worst I've ever experienced but everyday I read hundreds of articles and such a massive portion are fake news, misleading, emotionally charged/opinion with no label

He also cited scenes from Sicario as evidence of people being tied up and dragged across the border. Give me a break, Tim.

I love how your defense to media lies is "yeah but trump lies more!" Yeah no shit he lies it doesnt mean media should be lying

He’s the fucking president. We know media spins shit. I don’t like it anymore than you do. But the president of the “free” world is a pathological liar - every single day. It’s his job to lead by example. The rot starts from the top.
