...is trump's propagandi aparatus to spread hate and lies. Am I? Am I a conduit for his message of hate? I just deleted my cnnapp.

I refuse hear the hate propaganda and lies from miller, conway, huckabee-sanders, or any repub pundit especially when hosts like Cuomo lets them spin lies unendlessly. I was sickened when he had huckabee-sanders as guest last week...today more so. Balanced news? Provide both sides time? NO, not when one side is supporting the torture of children.... Basta! Enough!

What value does he bring to truth?
Zero.

And his reputation requires we assume everything he says is a lie.

So why listen to a single word he says?
Ignore him. It’s the right thing for the country.

And as citizens we should do the same. Don’t watch him. Don’t read him. Don’t listen to him. And DO NOT retweet him or reply to him or repeat his words. Repeating Trump helps Trump. Don’t do it.

Literally.

She is an solid little stooge for the profit media center that is NBC.

Every time I hear about Clintons emails I hear it in the voice of Andrea Mitchell. She was obsessed and was not reporting the truth during the campaign.

I wonder how many shills they brought in to cheer for him? I know NFIB isn't really a small business advocate group and is funded by Koch-related interests but the cheering sounds way too staged.

Edit: Okay, nice try Andrea.

Now, if you really feel that way about Trump's lying and what's the right thing for media to do, perhaps you should make a big stink about pressure from on high to cut back to that lying sack of shit and then resign saying "I won't be part of this fascist, racist takeover of our country."

I think he gave Miller the go-ahead, and as usual only wanted to be able to take credit for a PR success. Here we see him ranting about not getting adulation, and about people daring to question his lazy, detached ass.

The responsibility is still Trump's but we've known all along that he can't run an office, much less a branch of government. Other people are doing this in his name, and he doesn't even know what "this" entails.

Tue Jun 19, 2018, 01:53 PM
Jun 2018

it takes fifteen positive stimulus events to return the subject to his/her original state, no matter their relative outlook on the world.

One reason why neither Obama or Hillary will never overcome negative narrative events constantly put out by fakeass Fox for years, and why Dems will have to see a lot more truth-telling from those two.

We're experiencing a national learning curve about media hosts who've been misled, stayed committed, learned or sold out.

There is a major difference between giving a Republican slant to the news, which Mitchell openly does, and substituting Republican lies FOR the news, which she has just declared she will not do.

I would rather have sports or just about anything else on. I go to the gym to work out and not be distracted by blowholes spouting off. Especially reich wing state television (aka Faux News) blowholes.

And my answer to people not liking that is if you want to watch the news that bad go the fuck home and do it there.
