President Trump accused the “Fake Media” on Thursday of ignoring new details about the 2010 approval of a controversial uranium deal with a Russian company, amid scrutiny of potential “conflicts of interest” for Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration.
“Uranium deal to Russia, with Clinton help and Obama Administration knowledge, is the biggest story that Fake Media doesn't want to follow!” Trump tweeted.

Sen. Grassley presses Sessions on Obama-era uranium deal
Grassley on Wednesday released a series of letters he fired off last week to 10 federal agencies, addressing his concerns in detail and raising the question of whether the committee that approved the uranium transaction was aware of the FBI probe. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) included then-Secretary of State Clinton.
The deal in question, which was previously reported, involved the 2010 approval of a partial sale of Canadian mining company Uranium One to Russia’s Rosatom nuclear company. The U.S. was involved because the sale gave the Russians control of part of the uranium supply in the U.S.
Grassley wrote in his letters that he’s not “convinced” by previous “assurances” that there were no unresolved national security concerns. Grassley, in his hearing remarks and letters, raised two key issues.
It had been previously reported that figures tied to the transaction gave donations to Bill Clinton and his family foundation, but Grassley wrote that he has learned additional details about a $500,000 fee the former

Scott, Foreign Editor: Well, it's not that we're using nameless sources that bothers me. Or that everything we print, the White House denies. Or that no other papers are reprinting our stuff.
In Politics, the Press is always the enemy, they can spin any story they want without consequence. In the words of Sven Holmes “If its on the record, it will appear the next day. If its off the record, it'll run the next week” (Matthews
The mainstream media source I evaluated was from CNN. This source is credible due to it being a mainstream media source, however that doesn’t mean it isn’t politically biased. This news article focuses on the fact that there may never be a deal made due to the fact that democrats and republicans can’t negotiate. References were made from events that occured and valid quotes by political figures were embedded within the article. This adds to the credibility of the source. This article has minimal bias and is a credible source of

Finally, the article from Fox News. Fox is mainly watched by conservatives and has been accused of pandering to them. The article from Fox focused on Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. In the article they compared her emails to Nixon’s scandal that lead to him stepping down from the presidency. This casts Clinton in a negative light since being compared to a president who had to step down is never good. The article, by drawing this comparison, implies that there is something in her emails that could be cause for her resignation if she was

Wake –up America. We are heading down a long dangerous road of cut and paste and the lying talking heads are going to work distorting information and telling us what to believe and what to eat. After all, why would we want to discover the truth for ourselves, when we can just blindly accept the word of a few persons? It is high time we stop worrying about fake news. We know it’s fake so there is no need to tweet about it. Our duty is to gather the facts, disregard the bias, and formulate our own opinions. Let us not repost the lies repeatedly on our social media page. Best to check everything
The definition of perpetuation of misinformation is false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive. Although, some articles tend to lean to one side to make their argument valid, purposely leaving out the other side, while others give a neutral view, not showing favor of either side, but it all depends on one question. Who’s responsible for it, the media or the reader? The media spreads the articles whether or not they contain the truth true to express their own beliefs, whereas, the readers decide if it is worth believing, formed from values, beliefs or credibility. The Trade War between China and the United States took place around the beginning of last year, when Trump announced an investigation
The first story on the docket was Donald Trump's Border Trip Ignites Immigration Debate. In my opinion, the sources for this story were credible and appropriate, as all of the information that was presented came from Reuters and the Associated Press, who are credited news outlets. There were also video clips of Trump's responses and opinions to interviewers in regards to this story. Trump was scheduled to go to Texas to visit with border patrol to discuss about illegal immigration. In route for this visit, Trump was contacted by an agent of the border patrol stating that they no longer wanted to participate in matter. Trump later stated in his news conference that he heard that this cancellation of his tour of the border came down from Washington D.C (Donald Trump's,
