He continued: “The people (who) should have shut it down were Republicans who understand the rule of law and the values that they claim to stand for. Shame on them, but it wasn’t a role for government to play.”

try reading the title of the thread, or what i wrote. I agree, Comey gave the correct answer. What bothered me, and what should concern all of us, is that a CNN anchor could
ever think it’s constitutional for the FBI to shut down speech critical of the media’s preferred candidate.

you need to read more slowly, and try to respond to what I’m actually saying. I was not criticizing Comey,
I was criticizing the media. They are nothing more than the PR wing if the DNC. That’s not why they have special and vital constitutional protections.

Faux continually leads you into the role of victim and you enjoy it greatly.
I have heard people say "how can they let them do that" regarding Trump rallies, she asked the question to Comey, so the people with that question understood that they have that right.
That doesn't make her the pawn of the DNC by having an expert point out that Trumplicans have the right to act like that and that's why I pointed out to you the things I did.

If you have liberal views, you can't ask questions?

And I suppose you think Faux presents a balanced viewpoint, with shadow President Hannity on air each night, and a "Judge" proclaiming her viewpoint daily, very closely aligned with Trump.

have you noticed how often, you find yourself unable to
answer a simple question? o asked
if you felt the media
leans left, you couldn’t answer.

yes pete, liberals can ask questions. but they don’t need to be so biased. when i was young, you could watch the news, and have no idea whether the news person was a democrat or a republican. now they are all liberal
activists.

anyway, you aske
me a question, i answer it. i can do that, because i think about things before i decide my opinion, i don’t obey orders given to me by someone else.

You need me to tell you that some media leans left?
Somehow that means reporters cannot ask questions you object to.
Some people incorrectly believe that it is the role of the police to stop actions like those that occur in Trump Rallies and it is a valid question.


Meanwhile you believe everything the State/Faux propaganda machine rolls out, and it is quite an organized machine.
The close alignment of Faux and Trump should make you worry more than the rest of the media.
He and his supporters are making Emergency Powers close to The Enabling Act, and one could equate his reaction to the Democrats to the Barmat Scandal.
But history never repeats, does it.

"You need me to tell you that some media leans left? "

You really, really have an aversion to answering question, don't you?

If you look at the entire TV media minus Fox news, is there an obvious, glaring, consistent left bias? Yes or no?

."Somehow that means reporters cannot ask questions you object to"

Hearing those voices again. They can ask fair, objective , challenging questions. Asking if the FBI should go after Clinton critics, does not qualify. Because she would never, ever, in a million years, ask if the FBI should go after those who criticize Trump. That's the difference.

As I said, when I was younger, all the journalists were democrats, but you could never tell from watching them at work. Now it's obvious. They're political activists who call themselves journalists.

"Meanwhile you believe everything the State/Faux propaganda machine rolls out"

Again, hearing voices with help from your tin foil hat. I disagree with the GOP on gay marriage, the death penalty, and to some extent, gun control and health care. And I think Trump is a scumbag. How many times do I have to say that, before you comprehend it? Are we almost there? Are we close?

"The close alignment of Faux and Trump "

Tucker Carlson criticizes Trump every night, as does Chris Wallace and Brett Baier. Megyn Kelly hated him, although she's obviously not there anymore. At Foxnews, you have the folks on Fox&Friends, and Sean Hannity, who are his lapdogs. The others will criticize him. Who at CNN or MSNBC ever criticized Obama, who there ever says anything good about Trump?

Is there a close alignment between the DNC and CNN/MSNBC?
