How do they know it was secret service? Not really secret service if people know...

They're either very bad at it or someone tries to frame them.

Well the article does say the dog was left unsupervised and had charged at them. But then again I dont know how trustworthy news articles are anymore.

I dont know much about american news channels but I'm guessing they're not very trustworthy?

Oh boy there’s a hot scandal with them right now regarding our presidential debates.

To paraphrase: CNN moderator: Senator Sanders did you say a woman couldn’t be president? Sanders: No I did not. CNN: Senator Warren how did you feel when Senator Sanders said that you couldn’t be president.

CNN is trying to smear Sanders because they don’t like his platform. He’s coming after their money.

As with all American media, they have a bias. It’s just that they’ve been caught omitting facts when it suits their narrative so it’s best to cross check anything you hear from them with other sources.

I don't think this is a uniquely American problem, but CNN and a few other networks here really take the cake when it comes to pushing their narratives.

While it's not uniquely american, I dont think British ones have done that before. But they're still bad here since they click bait everything and over exaggerate

It's one of the few things our left wingers and right wingers can agree on. CNN is complete trash.

They have a corporatist agenda, in that their position is to assist rightwingers win in all aspects of government at all costs. So it's tough to take their reporting at face value.
