Who thinks that anyone is getting "all the news" on any subject matter ?

All news outlets favor the news that they think most interests their listeners ...

Didn't Trump block most media, from being at the white house? I'll just wait until we get an adult back in the White house.

If trump wanted the news media to report on how he helped out his dictator buddy in Egypt, by using the World Bank connections to help, then Trump would have given the information to the press so that there could be publicity.

Who are you criticizing? The meeting wasn't on the schedule. Apparently, Trump's folks had little interest in TV and internet coverage of handshakes and statements.

Are you really criticizing FOX and the rest of not making a big enough deal of this step in advancing an agreement on a local dispute about a North African dam? Did anyone even know about the meeting? Perhaps, it was in the Economist or the Journal. I'm not surprised that no general media covered this, since no one had any interest in the meeting being covered. Even the other parties could have had their folks call the press.

Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan to Try to Resolve Dam Dispute by January 15: Treasury




Trump Meets With Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan FMs About Dam Feud | nazret.com

The Administration deserves credit for getting the countries back to the table and getting these conversations back on track,” Salzberg said.

I'm glad the Trump administration helped facilitate this, but in case you're trying to imply what I think you're trying to imply, it appears that the process was started not by the US trying to be a peacemaker, but by Egypt reaching out to seek an outside mediator.

Trump Meets With Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan FMs About Dam Feud

The meeting, spearheaded by Mnuchin, came about after Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi requested that Trump mediate the conflict over the dam.

Egypt Says Washington to Host Nov. 6 Meeting on Ethiopia Dam Dispute

In recent weeks, Egypt has called for an external mediator on the issue, saying three-way talks have been exhausted.

Ahhh! so it was more a photo op, not so much "a meeting"? That makes more sense. :wave:
tulc(thought that sounded like something President Trump has no real interest in) :)

good job! Adam Schiff will be sending you a commendation letter. Best deflection into insult yet today.


There has literally never been a time when the US public gave a hoot about three countries they don’t care about arguing over a project they’ve never heard of.

The idea that this is some big media plot to hide a huge international story from the American public is laughable quite frankly.

Be honest, had you ever even heard of the Great Ethiopia Renaissance Dam until this story popped up?

yes, I travel in Europe and the Middle East every year. Because of that, I have learned to read news from other countries. The more the population is educated on what their own country is doing globally, the more interest builds.

ignorance of what’s happening is not good imo.

You were at the White House?

Once again, thank you for your continued focus on me, it’s so precious. Believe it or not, reading allows you the ability to know things when you are not there.

you are making me blush again,

Without searching?

I read it. No need to search for me personally.

how many time do you have to make a mistake before you realize how many times you are mistaken.

But to note. None of my threads are about me.

My comment wasn't about you, either. It was about the point you were trying to make in your post.

Google and other news sources specifically tailor your news feed to what you've looked at before. I mean, there's no sense hearing about opposing opinions/facts

If it is not about me, who is the you’re that you are addressing.

or do you think that a persons motivation is greater than the substance of the post?

why not just address the topic instead of the poster? Seems I read that somewhere.


Yet that seems to be the war call of Trump followers.

Every true Trump supporters are focused on facts instead of hatred.

I believe no American news outlet gives all the news. I had no idea this even existed until you posted this thread. Had no idea there were issues concerning a dam in Africa.

If it is not about me, who is the you’re that you are addressing.

Addressing you isn't the same as making a statement about you. For example:

"Hey @hislegacy, if you meant what I think you meant, then I agree, a Reuben is a really great sandwich."

It's addressed to you. It expresses some lack of clarity regarding my understanding of your previous point. But it's not about you. It's about our mutual appreciation for that delicious amalgamation of corned beef, sauerkraut and dressing served on lightly toasted marbled rye bread, garnished, ideally, with a pickle spear.

or do you think that a persons motivation is greater than the substance of the post?

I said nothing at all about your motivation.

why not just address the topic instead of the poster? Seems I read that somewhere.

That's exactly what I did. You quoted Salzberg saying "The Administration deserves credit for getting the countries back to the table and getting these conversations back on track,”.

I don't know what exactly is meant by "getting the countries back to the table". One way to interpret that sentence is that the Trump administration took the initiative in starting these meetings. I was attempting to point out that, from what I gather from other sources, that interpretation would be incorrect.

are you calling me a liar? When someone travels in the area, they tend to follow politics from the area that pertain to America.

do you know what the picture is of? And the only place you can get in is in Country

please, let’s address the topic shall we.

good job! Adam Schiff will be sending you a commendation letter. (snip)
Oh, hislegacy, I don't do it for commendations, I do it because I think people who are supposed to be working for me should be told when I don't agree with how they're doing their job. I thought that's what good Americans were supposed to do. :sorry:

Best deflection into insult yet today.
....when did being "accurate" turn into an "insult"? :scratch:
