President-elect Donald Trump's campaign website recently published an online survey. This latest survey seeks the options of anyone with an internet connection on how the incoming administration should prioritize their first three months. With a total of 29 questions, the survey doesn't seek opinions on the issues themselves, just whether or not particular issues are important to the respondent. A sampling:

The media's obsession with a national Muslim registry continues. Former RNC Chair and incoming White House Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus joined Meet the Press Sunday morning. Host, Chuck Todd asked Priebus whether the next administration is toying with a national Muslim registry. NBC News then ran with this headline:

It's Friday. We could be discussing Trump's latest round of cabinet picks, getting angry with the media for over-inflating some less desirable details about our new administration's past, but instead, I've decided to share with you one of the best news stories ever -- the case of the exploding whale.

Thursday, House Democrats petitioned President Obama, requesting a pardon for DREAMers (kids who would benefit under the contentious DREAM Act). The pardon would nullify any legal ramifications accrued because of their lack of legal status. DREAMers would've been brought to the U.S. as children. Their parents or legal guardians entered without inspection and settled without legal status, leaving their children without any legal presence. DREAM proponents often argue its not the fault of the child their parents brought them to the country illegally.

As we blogged Sunday, there's a whole sect out there attempting to blame fake news sites for Hillary's electoral failure. Facebook responded to complaints about fake news sites, as did Google. In an attempt to distinguish fake or misleading news sites from legit sources, Melissa Zimdars, Assistant Professor of Communication at Merrimack College in Massachusetts, created a list of, "false, misleading, clickbait-y and satirical 'news' sources." The LA Times published the list.
