Nah, the media isn’t in the tank for the democrats

Here, a CNN anchor asks former FBI director Comey if the FBI should have “shut down” Trump supporters who chanted “lock her up” at Trump rallies.

Constitution, shmonstitution, all that mattters is getting democrats elected. This isn’t some
nut, on the street, this is a CNN anchor.

Free speech? Not if it’s inconvenient to the left.

Went over your head as usual. The scary thing, is that the CNN anchor considers it hate speech, when Trump supporters are criticizing Hilary.

I'd classify it as stupid speech, when you feel that someone should be locked up for things they have been cleared of.
Meanwhile the man they are there to support:
Believes dictators rather than his own security people
Meets with Putin alone
Is in love with Kim jong Un
Denigrates the Department of Justice and FBI
Didn't think that reporting offers of Russian collusion during the election to the FBI was important
Fabricates false documents to cover up meetings with Russians
Uses an unsecured cellphone
Had no deals in Russia, wait I had a deal but it wasn't advantageous to me to reveal that and nothing came of it.....not yet anyways
He hardly knew......his lawyer or non lawyer, the head of his campaign,etc.
Grants security clearances to 25 people who don't pass the test
Eliminates the financial check on security clearances
Uses an unsecured email server for official business, oh wait that wasn't him, that was Ivanka, no problem

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

I’d also classify it as stupid speech. So what does it say to you, that a CNN anchor asked the FBI if the feds should have “shut down” the ability of people to say stupid things? that’s not totalitarian?

Sometimes the media asks questions that they personally know the answer to educate the uninformed, what was Comey's answer?

Fortunately, the media in this country can still ask any question they want.

No matter how much Trump doesn't like it.

"The FAKE NEWS media (failing New York Times, NBC News, ABC, CBS, CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!"

Here's what Trump said to Chris Wallace, who asked hard questions and unlike the shadow president hasn't gotten another interview:
"What a stupid question that is. What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions."
Notice he didn't answer the question and implied that anyone who questioned him was stupid.

Sorry, wrong one, that guy at least has normal fingers
This one with the little fingers waves them around more than that Beto fellow. You would think someone with such tiny hands would hide them.

While we’re posting Fox News links, I enjoyed this one: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/its...crisis-nielsen

This should be good news for democrats, since his administration likes to ignore category 5 hurricane disasters

Pete, i see a pattern with you. With Trump, when there’s smoke, you are convinced there’s fire. with democrats, when there’s smoke, there’s no fire.

I believe the anchor, Armanpour, is from Iran? If this is the kind of government she wants, she can go back there, she'll fit right in.

so you don’t have an issue with a CNN anchor asking the former
head of the FBI, if the FBI should have shut down criticism of the candidate that CNN also happened to give debate questions to. this isn’t some child who asked that question, itbwas a political expert in CNN.

What did I lie about, please specify? I asked if she was from Iran. I didn't state she was from Iran. Do you know what the grammatical symbol "?" means?

I'm not engaging in slur because she's Iranian. I'm engaging in slur because she doesn't understand why it's a horrible idea for the FBI to go after people who criticize the politicians that CNN happens to like. You don't get that?
