    The so called journalists in the media aren't subject to rules, including telling the truth or reporting the news.

    Yeah, you have to watch maybe four different ones to get the parameters, then deduce the story. They sure as hell don't.
    I can't remember when this all began, it just sort of morphed into place over time. Not really all that long ago, CNN was the place to go get the News, kind of a counter culture to the big three networks. Now, I can't take their shit more than 5, maybe 10 minutes where I become stuffed with mushroom food.

    The only redeeming thing about Fox News is you get to see members of the Trump administration speak for themselves instead of a bunch of self admitted haters telling us what those officials said in other words.

    Funny thing is you actually do see those members of the Trump admin on a CNN - they show footage of Fox News! And out of context, of course.

    If only they weren't so preachy on that channel most of the time.


    Fake news!

    Very telling that you guys couldn't / can't answer the questions and instead changed the subject to Mueller.

    Why won't Trump condemn Russia and take action? Why is he the only one?

    And no, 'because he doesn't want to start a nuclear war' doesn't count.

    You skipped right over the answer and say it wasn't answered.

    That seems to be how the media works these days.

    upload_2018-2-19_10-30-57.png

    I also mentioned how Trump sent arms to Ukraine, TO FIGHT AGAINST RUSSIA/PUTIN. Just because he doesn't take a specific action YOU prefer, doesn't mean you should make up stuff.

    Nobody has made this about Mueller, either. It's more about how deceitful, hateful, and yellow journalism is getting what's due them. The Trump/Russia/Collusion narrative has all but unraveled.

    Julie Kelly calls it the Media's Walk of Shame.

    https://amgreatness.com/2018/02/18/medias-walk-shame-wont-end/

    The media have been on a walk-of-shame bender since 2016. They were whored out by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, swallowed the Christopher Steele dossier, and still get drunk-dialed by the Left. The cheap-date journos show up every time.

    Each morning, the media floozies trudge through the quad wearing their “I’m With Her” t-shirts from the night before while they come up with a new cover story for their bad behavior. They lie, distort what actually happened, change the subject, and make excuses for why they got in bed with an ungrateful lover. “Hey, it’s better than sleeping with thatotherguy!” They insist they’re not being used, but everyone who sees them meander back to the dorm knows they are.

    Last week was perhaps one of the tawdriest of the walks of shame taken by the flat-on-its-back, call-me-later commentariat. Still desperate to prove their Hillary hook-up was worth it, the media had several flings over the past several days: North Korea, FBI Director Christopher Wray (again), a white supremacist group, and Russian social-media bots all got bedded. Like the easy girl who never learns her lesson, journalists and opinion-writers keep ruining their reputations in the futile hope of getting some love from their greedy suitors in the #Resistance, then they traipse their escapades through news websites and social media to justify their deed.

    Hmm, maybe I missed it. We know this past weekend he criticized Obama, the FBI, his own intelligence (ha!), but not Putin or Russia.

    Why is that again?

    His surrogates blast Russia all the time. He's put no muzzle on anyone. It's also fine for surrogates to be the bad guys.

    When the rubber meets the road, Trump has done things against Russian or Putin's interests. I'd say he did work with Russia to end ISIS, but I fail to see how that's a bad thing.

    Like I said, who cares what YOU think of his foreign policy? He's the president, he can run it how he wants.

    As long as he moves us away from the ledge people who think like you seem to be pushing us toward, it's a GOOD THING.

    Obviously politicians aren’t subject to rules, including telling the truth or reporting the news either......and yes, it isn’t their job to “report” the news, but Trump certainly makes a regular effort to either report it....or distort it......

    Also, it's a GREAT thing to bash the FBI and other intelligence agencies. On one hand, they do "protect" us, but on the other, they lie and commit egregious offenses to humanity (Americans among those!), and have committed some of the ugliest things this nation has ever done.

    50+ executions of (or attempts against) foreign leaders since 1949.

    I'd be really careful who you side with. Be intellectually honest, at least.

    Yep! It seems to me! I can remember getting ready to go to Cuba. Looking over that ledge was a real shitty view.

    The presidents have all spun things to suit their agendas.

    We all know Trump has a big ego and exaggerates things to bolster that. Until he does something that's an abuse of office, we have to live with it. It is what it is. No different than Obama telling everyone, "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance."

    The media isn't setting the facts straight, which is a dereliction of their duty as "4th estate." They're nothing more than tabloids anymore.

    Here’s another take. Gotta be at least as valid as your propaganda......

    You are quick to associate lies to one party and not the other.

    Consider the likelihood Trump actually has nothing to hide. It's looking that way more and more. What does that say about what the NY Times opines?

    He sure does.

    He keeps telling the guys investigating him to tell the public what they tell him. That he's not under investigation and there's not a whiff of evidence of collusion.

    He wants to govern and all this nonsense is a distraction.

    Hah. I doubt Mueller has ever told him he's not under investigation.

    If he wants to govern so much why does he spend so much time tweeting and golfing?

    You know, when "Men in Black" came out, there was a scene where K tells Will that "They have to pick up the hot sheets" and proceeds to grab a hand full of gossip mags.

    At the time I found that funny.

    At this point, I find the "reporting" in the rags and far more credible than the "Opinion" piece that you have presented, as well as most of the left leaning "reporting"

    Odds are that if I wanted to believe a rag, or the so called "credible" sources, I choose the rags.
