Byker,

If there was one source that you would recommend for mostly unbiased reporting about Trump, which would it be?
I can't answer for Byker, but there's no such thing IMHO.

You have to multi-source the news. That means social media feeds, and even Foxnews.
You were doing so well, right up until the very last two words.
Why? Beyond Reuters I can't think of anything remotely unbiased with regards to Trump. And even it has had to print a number of corrections about him.

You have a large number of outlets that are hunting for clicks so they don't die so will print anything about him and you have a smaller but significant number that will stand by almost anything he will do. You need to be paying attention to both (without paying attention to the extremes) if you actually want to find the truth.
I appreciate that there are very few unbiased sources. Fox News however, is beyond biased. They are a full-on propaganda channel. There's a reason they've been banned in the UK.

Apparently not banned.

Parent company pulled the channel citing lack of viewers making it not commercially viable.

Although OFCOM were getting involved over their airing of pro-Trump propaganda.

Looks like I'm fake news. biggrin

Wells Fargo and TD Bank have already given Trump-related financial documents to the House Financial Services Committee

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/wells-fa...

Edit:
The New York Senate recently passed a bill that would allow the state to turn over Donald Trump’s state level tax returns to House Democrats. Today, the New York Legislature passed that same bill. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that he’ll sign the bill.

Yet another of trumps infrastructure weeks has ended with nothing being done. Instead of having a planned meeting with the Dems, he stormed out after telling Dems he won't work with them unless the investigations end.

Pelosi to Dems on the infrastructure meeting: "Sadly, the only job the President seems to be concerned with is his own. He threatened to stop working with Democrats on all legislation unless we end oversight of his Administration and he had a temper tantrum for us all to see."

This seemed to infuriate trump and he held an impromptu press conference

“I don’t do cover-ups,” Trump fumed to reporters in the Rose Garden. “Get these phony investigations over with.”

The infrastructure meeting at the White House had started, and abruptly ended, not long after Pelosi, D-Calif., told reporters that “we believe the president of the United States is engaged in a cover-up.”

Ted Lieu immediately sent a letter to Barr

Harriet Tubman — former slave, abolitionist, “conductor” on the Underground Railroad — will not become the face of the $20 bill until after President Trump leaves office, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Wednesday.

Trump sending more messages to his base?

Must have been all setup from the start from Trump. Having the rose garden ready for reporters and getting premade signs about the Mueller report.

Embarrassing from the President

trumps rose garden press conference "I'm the most transparent president probably in the history of this country."

1. Pays hush money to porn stars
2. Didn’t interview with Mueller.
3. Hides tax returns
4. Orders witnesses to defy subpoenas
5. Won’t release full Mueller report
6. Claims executive privilege on everything
7. the White House doesn't even hold press briefings anymore.
8. Pentagon hasn't briefed in a year.
9. White House visitor logs kept secret.

It's amazing that Trump hasn't queried Lieu's 'American-ness' yet. He must be biting his lip so hard.

Only with a capital "B".

We all know his former Press Secretary loved bushes. He tried to hide in them.

The White house had to correct the Washington posts story. Spicer was 'among' bushes...not 'in' them. An important difference apparently?!
