Newsbusters puts out some good dope, very smooth.

I'd note that a lot of Trump's media coverage is driven by his need to be on TV 24/7.

When was the last time you lied about something you didn't do?

Actually - it wasn't relevant, the charges, to collusion or obstruction. It was lying to the FBI. Which is OK when it is Hillary's email server.

And Manafort was actually for stupid sheit AND lying.

Here we go....

but again the right fail to see why Trump and his people were investigated to start with.. (not because they won )


Meeting with the russians lying about meetings with the russians lying about dealing with the russians Trump himself suggesting the russian didn't try to interfere in the elections Trump's refusal to cooperate with the muller investigation (if he did it would have done in a year )

again how many convictions and counting

Heres a witch hunt for ya all from Trumps lips

"He doesn't have a birth certificate, or if he does, there's something on that certificate that is very bad for him. Now, somebody told me -- and I have no idea if this is bad for him or not, but perhaps it would be -- that where it says 'religion,' it might have 'Muslim.' And if you're a Muslim, you don't change your religion, by the way."


"I have people that have been studying [Obama's birth certificate] and they cannot believe what they're finding ... I would like to have him show his birth certificate, and can I be honest with you, I hope he can. Because if he can't, if he can't, if he wasn't born in this country, which is a real possibility ... then he has pulled one of the great cons in the history of politics."

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

FFS, she said she turned over everything (except the tens of thousands of emails she didn't), she said there were no emails on her server that were classified, except the ones that were.

What are you afraid would happen to you, if you were honest about these things, just for a minute? Of all the thoughtless parrots I've ever come across, you're one of the smartest. You're way, way too smart for this nonsense.

You work in Finance, right? Do you tell the companies you support, that they should pay a living wage with free healthcare to all employees, and that they should now adopt Green New Deal standards of clean energy? Or do you not do so, because you know its idiotic and would get you canned?

I've never heard she lied to the FBI about that. Even the FBI director said there was no reason to conclude she lied to the FBI about anything.

You mean the director of the FBI, who with the DOJ, appears to have had areal rooting interest in the 2016 election?

The only thing I've seen where the DOJ might have influenced the election was Comey breaking protocol and making a statement on the status of the investigation. This idea of a grand conspiracy to undercut Trump is nonsense.

Heard this on the radio
Since when is the media expected to have the exact same outcome as a 2 year investigation with almost zero leaks

The 2 are not again remotely the same but once a gain some want us to think the same standard exists in both

You're right, it may not be ethical but the media is allowed to slant. Investigations either prove or disprove or remain uncertain. They are not supposed to imply.

Firmly basing your opinion and belief on media reportage on that which has not been proven is risky and foolish.

none of the texts from lisa page or mccabe or strzok, give you the hint of impropriety. Your concern is applied very very selectively, which of course means it’s fake.

thats your tinfoil conservative Hat speaking because you're a one source news person If you watched any kind of news it was always questionable whether or not he was gonna be convicted of collusion. or if there was collusion there was no reporting of certainty.. But of course you don't have a problem with bar selling the the notion that there was no obstruction even though he penned a letter so many months prior to getting the AG job indicating just that... and what did he base that decision on? where is the evidence? that he used .there was no obstruction of Justice ..based on . What legal standard was applied to that decision ? not enough evidence ,? that needs to be explained to the American public . And of muller said there was not enough to indite or absolve trump of the question of obstruction of Justice how did Barr Come to such a decision in such a rapid timeframe.

ok, trump collusion was investigated
much more thoroughly, and determined there was no evidence. so why do you dismiss one, and desperately cling to the other?

According to a new bombshell report released by Gallup and the Knight Foundation, 94% of Republicans have lost some trust in the media. They aren't alone; 75% of independents and even 42% of Democrats say the same thing. Overall, nearly 7 in 10 adults report a loss of faith in the news. What is going on?

wdmso says that what’s going on, is that Trumicans are crazy, and that explains all the data in your post.

In today's world of instant social media news, media outlets are in such a hurry to be the first to scoop a story that they can't/don't/won't vet information.

For this they could/should be held liable for incorrect "news".

Most of CNN/MSNBC has lost all journalistic integrity IMO.

Collusion isn't a legal standard. We know there was collusion, hell there were face to face meetings they tried to cover up!

The letter only says they didn't find evidence that met the threshold for a charge of criminal conspiracy. That doesn't mean there was no evidence, it means there may not have been enough. There also could be a ton of evidence that's very damning to Trump but not indictable under DOJ guidelines.

Barr's report really just made this entire mess worse, especially the conflict over obstruction. Many say he's a straight shooter, but this letter really looks like it was intended to give Trump cover while they fight to keep the report hidden.

They need to release everything legally permissible soon and let Congress sort things out.

Why do you folks always assume that because people have a problem with CNN that they are automatically less intelligent and Rabid FOX viewers. Quite the assumption if you ask me

Denis made a statement about 2 of the larger networks yet didn't mention the one w/the highest ratings. I pointed out that Fox seems to have "less journalistic integrity" than the 2 mentioned.

Maybe he gets his news from NPR?

Jim in CT 03-26-2019 03:01 PM
I wonder if these thorough studies, were done by the same people who said Hilary was going to win in a landslide.

Fox exposes bias in most of the media, and I'm supposed to be shocked when those same people slander Fox.

Yawn.

?
Watch Tucker Carlson for a week, then watch Chris Hayes or Rachael Maddow for a week on MSNBC, and then Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon at CNN, and let me know who has more integrity, and why.

I watch Tucker Carlson maybe 1-2 times a week. I've never seen a show of his where he didn't criticize Trumps behavior, and I've never seen a show of his where he didn't say to a liberal, "that's a good point".

Liberals can't ever, and I mean EVER, admit they lost a fair fight. Trump beats Hilary, it must be Russian collusion. Fox clobbers CNN and MSNBC in the ratings, they must be appealing to people who can't keep up with watching reruns of "Hee Haw".
