Trumpy issue

News media can be varied in some weird, questionable ways at times. Some are known to be biased and a few can be trusted sometimes. Well, we as the audience, have the choice as to which to partake in or which to trust. Also we have a choice as to if we want listen or read any of them.
The report by Simon Jenkins on the Donald Trump issue with the golf coarse appeared to be a little suggestive and biased to me. The sole title of the report appears to fit the bias list.( Scotland's Gullible Politicians are the Victims of a Colossal Trump Try-on). What do you think about this title just by looking at it? Well, it suggested to me that politicians are greedy and gullible, Trump is manipulative, etcetera. The report emphasize Trump's riches and put forth the idea that he's splurging. Some sections of the report sounded to me as if he was openly against Trump's plans.( Maybe I misread; You could decide). The report on ABC news seemed a little less biased.It provided some stats, which the public may check if really interested. It appears to me that they tried to be objective in the report.
Well, as far as plagiarizing is concerned from his argument about being an environmentalist who,....I think pretty soon some other company or government agency may jump on it and probably try to create something. It's quite a possibility. Well I personally think that whatever is planned for the area, the community members should be properly informed as well as not be forced to agree. All the prospective planners need to explore, explore, research, research thoroughly and at least give the locals an opportunity to say their piece. What's your take?
