The questions regarding cognitive dissonance are simply, for those interested readers:

1) Confronted with all major media outlets reporting the same thing from completely different sources, would Trump supporters stand firm and decide that all media, including Fox News, was fake news?

2) Would Trump supporters then acknowledge that they have better sources and better knowledge than all American media sources combined, including Fox News?

or:

1) Would Trump supporters acknowledge that they have limited knowledge of what the president actually thinks and has said, and that reporters for all American media companies have better access to such information than they, the down-on-the-street, Trump supporters?

2) Would they budge in their Trump support, or would the most damning information disconfirming Trump as noble leader simply be rejected as "not religious canon" regardless of uniform reportage?

The answer, at least with the first two responders, is clearly the former.
Comrade Dietz is having a blast because he knows its impossible to disprove a negative. Thats the spot Trump is in. You are silly with glee, aren't you, Comrade Dietz? The only ones falling for this new hoax are lefties. At least they are acting like they are enraged. But they know the story isn't true. Dietz, don't any of you lefty hoaxers move to Hollywood. You idiots are lousy actors.
