If you're forming an opinion based on what you've read on Facebook, then I have some magic beans to sell you. The internet is uncensored, that means that there's nothing to filter out opinions from facts or lies from the truth. I don't understand why today's youth rely so much on Facebook for information.

There are a lot of people here that think Internet tinfoil is the real news.

SP5 Christine Conley - Yeah, I can think of a lot of gullible people that bought an empty message of Hope and Change. America finally got Hope and Change but it took eight loooong years to get rid of the squatter and deny his successor the ability to continue the previous Administration's inept foreign and domestic policy. These policies were stripping citizens of their rights, our nation of its sovereignty, and destroying our national pride and economy. What you are seeing now is REAL Hope and Change from a REAL leader [not a lead-from-behind leader!] that holds people accountable -- despite the foot dragging of those who don't want their corruption exposed or their cushy status quo threatened.

Progress...like the National GDP being harmed in a way we had not seen before? LIke funding a terrorist state with untraceable cash, and cutting them a deal that guarantees they will complete a nuclear weapon quickly? Like opening the border up to millions of criminals and offering them a pass with little chance of being held accountable? I can do without that kind of progress. I would call that regressing instead and it set this nation back a good 50 years.

Thanks. I was thinking about opening this up for discussion as well. Does it feed any on-going Russian investigation? No. Does it feed any allegations of foreign government involvement? No. But it definitely should make us realize that the stuff we take for granted on the internet can be solicited by anyone from around the world and we're only being naïve and ignorant if we don't step back and take the time to fact check before spreading the information further. Lies are lies regardless if it comes from a domestic or foreign source and money is powerful.

Would you call MSN.com an honest, unbiased news source or do they selectively pick and choose what they report to represent their lamestream Progressive agenda? Figure the odds that you'd find anything favorable toward the Administration on there. If you get all your news out of the dumpster you should have no problem finding something to trash Trump with. Wasn't that your goal?

For once I'd like to see people coming together instead of whining like spoiled babies just because they didn't get their way and lost an election. If you spent as much time trying to figure out what you could do constructively to help make America great again (which doesn't mean whining about the Commander-in-Chief and calling for his impeachment as he is constitutionally qualified to hold Office and was duly elected without the assistance of election fraud!), this country would be in a better place. It's folks like you who gobble up the swill put out by the Progressives who want to: shred the Constitution, which they say is outdated; strip citizens of their Constitutional rights; and subject America's sovereignty under International control, that have me worried about this country's future.

Capt Jeff S. - Lets see, they have articles from CNN, CNBC, Business Insider, Reuters, Fox News, Readers Digest, Daily Beast, NYT, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, LA Times, The Hill, Vox, AP, Daily Caller, International Business Times, ProPublica...and that's just from their news page headlines for today. Yeah, I would say they cover Liberal, Moderate, Conservative, and International sources with a level of unbias just fine.
Now if you're done whining about any criticism towards your personal biases has to be fake news propaganda that is out to take away your constitutional rights. I believe that was the 8 years of: he's coming for our guns, he's a Muslim who wants Shari'a law, he hates White people, illegal immigrants are voting, and other Conservative garbage from empowered morons like Alex Jones, Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity, and Bannon.
You want folks to come together, drop the phony accusations like your MSN.com remarks and have an honest conversation.

P.S. Rank has no privileges here on RP. I won't tolerate insults.

Unbiased lamestream news sources? NYT, CNN, The Hill? AP?

It's pretty sad when people can't see through headlines like:
"Despite Trump promises, there are still no plans for a border wall."
"Trump dismisses Irma climate-change question"
"Schumer caught on mic saying Trump likes me"
"Sanders fires back at Trump: Health care for everyone is not a curse"
"Trump Confirms Support for Law to Protect 'Dreamers'"
"Trump's Anger Over News Story Reportedly Moved Him to Deal With Dems"

These are dog-whistles to the Left. They WANT to show Trump breaking his promises to the Right and cozying up to the Left.

At best the headlines are neutral. "Trump dispenses hoagies, handshakes in hurricane zone." Sometimes it's what you don't say that says more... So is he just there for a photo op?

You will not find headlines like "Trump visits hurricane zone to tour the devastation, and personally donates $1,000,000 to the relief effort." or "Trump makes good on promise to provide Federal assistance in the aftermath of Irma."

Capt Jeff S. - Spend less time criticizing headlines and actually read the article then come to a conclusion.
Fox News: "Eight Special Ops soldiers injured..."
The Hill: "Trump condemn's Rice's unmasking..."
The Hill: "Mnunchin: The Plan is for no tax cut for the rich..."
There are clearly examples of stories from conservative and liberal sources displayed in the screenshot you provided; thus, MSN.com is not only advertising one side over the other.
This morning's page is equally broad topic and not at all about Trump or negative but displays what's trending domestic and international. But since you're not getting the headlines you want to see, then it must obviously be biased and tainted. By the way, is it news that Trump did what every president has done, provide Federal assistance in aftermath of a hurricane? Is it news that he tour TX or FL devastated areas? Stories like those aren't trending with online viewers so not going to show up front page of MSN; except the story showing him hand out food to victims. Your $1M donation was covered last week as a promise, a pledge; you look up follow up to that story a week later and the only story you'll find is Trump has yet to donate the money he promised, he pledged.
You're right, you won't find boring, routine headlines that are not trending online on MSN.com. But there's one about him with the 11 year old boy that wanted to mow the White House lawn. There's your good news story.
