    "Only seeing what you want to see is a very annoying human ability."

    Which you demonstrated quite adequately. The video link is up there. Trump was talking about entering Muslims into a database, going to mosques, or different places.

    Remain skeptical. Always. Including when you have to dismiss a Rush Limbaugh talking point because you acquired the information available in a simple video link, which, from your description of the events, it's not clear that you have even watched.

    Oh my, you're going for a Godwin's law violation here. "No one will disagree that we should have a lot of systems beyond databases."

    lollerz. Good spin attempt, I guess. Insofar as all spin is actually really shitty. The media has reported this correctly, whether you like it or not.

    Visas and foreign nationals were not even mentioned, and you completely left out the very next part where he was asked, "Do you go to mosques and sign people up?", and he says, "different places..."

    That's one hilarious bit of spin you've got there. Can you see the back of your own teeth up there?

    "There should be a lot of systems. Beyond databases. I mean, we should have a lot of systems." - Donald Trump
    "Different places. You sign ’em up at different..." - Donald Trump

    That takes out the context of the questions, but the context makes it more clear, we're talking about database. I don't doubt that he wants to backpedal now and cry loudly about media persecution, but that doesn't mean you can dismiss the way this is being reported. He said what he said.

    Again, the video link: http://www.nbcnews.com/video/t...

    Thank you. I don't care whether he backpedals or not, blaming the media is asinine to the extreme. Believing you alone have all the facts, and the full grasp of their ramifications is probably big on slashdot. Thinking very little of lowly journalists is probably big. Their job is not an exact science, after all.

    But to say they are manufacturing this story is completely false. That narrative, or counter-narrative needs to die as quickly as possible in this country. By all means, remain skeptical, but do no dismiss out of hand what is being reported. Follow up, gather facts, think critically with as much information as you are able to obtain, and make your own assessment.

    Republicans would prefer that you entirely dismiss the "mainstream media" and get your facts from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh. It's a cancer in our society. Here is a little data that may help: http://www.journalism.org/2014...

    Those blaming SJWs aren't as interested in the facts as they are playing the woe is me victim of media bias again. Trump may be backpedaling, but this story is being reported perfectly accurately, whether you want to keep your head up your own ass or not.

    Trump explained how he'd sign Muslims up in the database:
    "It's good management."

    When asked whether he'd go to a mosque, or what:
      "You sign them up in different places."

    But you seem like the type who is more likely to blame the media than attempt to understand facts, so hopefully others will read this, and catch onto your party's stupid little anti-media ruse.

    Nope. You're living in your own little fantasy world, sponsored by Rush Limbaugh. Trump explained how he'd sign Muslims up for the database.

    The reason this is a good move is because people like you are so delusional you'll give him a pass because you would sooner blame the media than pull your head out of your ass.
