Is it really healthy for a democracy to have large blocks of the population, divided by political orientation, to declare "the other side's" news sites untrustworthy, and categorically exclude them as a source of information? I think that just worsens the notion that truth is relative leads to greater polarization.
Well there's no competition for an unbiased news agency. If someone wants to start one then they can go for it.

As the above video shows Presidents do this to insulate themselves because it is illegal for them to comment on information from intelligence sources, but they are free to comment on news stories.
You could have it on video and they still would deny. Just look at Penner. She's still prattling on about the Russians.

This is going to be great, we are going to get a front row seat to the power we have put in the hands of the Executive Office and the Survellience State.

Love the Trump affect. Suddenly we start having hard conversations about our government !

It is, it's feeling like a watershed moment to me.
If an investigation proves he was tapped in any form, Obama, his cronies, the establishment and the corporate media will lose all credibility with all but the most radicals. If the investigation is unable to produce anything, Trump will lose credibility.
Am I making too much of this ?

You aren't, but they will spin it like they did the Hillary Campaign and all her faults to make her the chosen one. If people choose to believe it though this time around is the question of the day.

There is a solid 25-30% that will always go with the Left/Dem/Progresssive line mimicked in the Corporate Media. They will have to die out over time for that to change. But reasonable people will see it for what it is.
This seems pretty simple to me. We all know everything we say is tapped by the NSA. Just get some recordings from the NSA and air Trump talking about his campaign. It's more reasonable to believe Trump is right on this.

He'd be a fool to not think it didn't happen. Especially with his dealings with the Russians indirectly through his many, many deals... if anything one of his subordinates had to deal with them.

Agreed.
Hey, a year ago the press was able to come up with all kinds of stories how Trump was being wiretapped because of RUSSIA !

So, if that's true, was he or was the press lying again?
