My eighth grade English teacher (1977-78) would say that Newsday was a fine paper -- for lining bird cages and wrapping fish. I'd love to hear his opinion today!

Who is reading these papers with such obvious biases of any type? (Unless it's for confirmation bias?) The major paper in my area, after moving from LI almost 5 years ago, is the Charlotte Observer. It might be even worse; there is not even the veneer of objectivity anymore. I don't mind looking at and considering all sides of an issue, event, etc. - I would think that most reasonable people are the same way; at least present some objectivity and balance in "reporting", otherwise call the entire paper (or broadcast): "Editorial Opinion" or "Advertainment".

As an alternative to reading newspapers, all of you crybabies can just subscribe to Trump's Twitter account and listen to the "unbiased" truth you crave. BUT please stop reading mainstream newspapers and complaining that they don't reflect your distorted view of reality. It's tiring. Wah-wah-wah!

I'd rep you over and over if I could.

Wah-wah! he wails in his highchair.

"No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly." Apparently worse than Gandhi and the murdered Kennedys.

Newsday bashers should join the big self pity party with Trump and the rest of his followers.

I don't think the assassinations of Gandhi and the Kennedy's have anything to do with the wildly biased reporting regarding Trump. (One suspects Trump is not suggesting he has been murdered but is clearly suggesting he is a target of unprecedented and wildly biased reporting...by the purportedly neutral press. It is inarguable the mainstream press fully supported Hillary and confidently and gleefully predicted a relatively easy Hillary win. The tantrum continues.)

Can you imagine how butthurt Trump and his disciples would be if they accused him of being a foreigner and of a different faith... for years. A real man would just shrug it off.

You do understand that EVERY TIME Trump doesn't like the truth he just cries "fake news."
And his doing so doesn't make the truth fake.

You, and the rest of the die-hard Trumpfront, need to think critically and not allow your partisan allegiance to Trump to betray our great nation.

The media is biased. Fact.
It's either right or left agenda driven.
That's just how it is now.
It's all fake news. All of it.
I have no idea what's going on anymore and my life is much better.
