Re: The Trolls are the "mainstream" media
Yes, the very best they can do is simply record his words and print them verbatum.
I heard an interview yesterday with a German translator who has to translate his speaches in real time - she said it's almost incomprehensible "he uses such primitive, repetitive language, it makes us sound very bad, very unprofessional."

Re: The Trolls are the "mainstream" media
Wow, point missed by a nautical mile.
If a reporter prints his words verbatim, how can that be spin?

Faith writes:
the surrounding context will define those words, and the writer's attitude in general.
There is no context to recording his words verbatim. None - he says what he says. He chooses the time and place to say them, then he says them.
Also, Trump's words are often taken out of context,
Verbatim means reporting it all. Then we have it.
No, the words themselves do not tell the whole story, not by a long shot.
The words are what we have. The rest is what you object to - people attempting to 'interpret' and 'put in context'.
