So either the press is ignoring it on purpose because they love Trump or it's not valid meaning it's fake. I see you have assumed it's the former.

There are more options than "the media loves Trump" and fake news.

Yes, I think they are ignoring it on purpose.

That doesn't mean they love Trump. It's more likely, like many other things, they chalk it up as Trump being Trump and don't report on it. It's the having different standards for Republicans than Democrats.

"they chalk it up as Trump being Trump and don't report on it." This is the correct answer. News people want to cover something that is "new."

such as the one posited just above by Susan D, "It would only demean Kamala and not hurt Trump in the least way." A good analytic principle there are almost always more options than just two. It is called the fallacy of the excluded middle.

Thx, Terry.

I still don't know if it's legit or not.

I don't understand. 1. How do you know the story that's been circulating on social media is false? 2. Is MSM covering it or not?

I would say avoid social media. It has proven to be a social net negative.

Terry, it was Liberal who first posted the story circulating. It wasn't covered in the press. So I assumed it was on social media. So this is for him, not me.
