any credible media source.

This is why we cant fix this. It is not getting better by exposing the lies, it is getting worse.

The more he lies, the more the media acknowledges white nationalists as if they are credible, the worse this gets.

She doesn't have the fire in her anymore (if ever) to be a reporter/journalist. She just doesn't have anything else to do in her golden years. If she didn't get to be on teevee, there would be no reason to have her hair done nicely and wear designer clothes.

She's a body sitting at a desk and because she's been sitting there for so many years, she's duped people into thinking she's good at her job. She's not and she needs to retire.

It should be policy if a guest comes on your show and starts lying, spreading propaganda you warn them once and if they lie again you end the interview. This lying is destroying are democracy. That guy was a trump loving asshole liar.

I keep trying to say this. People on here get mad at me. But I'm gonna say it again.

Our talking heads (politicians, TeeVee talkers, all those people I see and here on the news channels) didn't hit Donald Trump hard enough.,it makes me mad that only one, yes one, Nancy Pelosi said the words "Donald Trump lied".

Donald Trump lied.

I don't understand why our people wouldn't say Donald Trump lied.

It's all about controlling the narrative.

I think we let the Republicans muddy the waters. There are a lot of people who believe that Trump is correct. That Obama illegally bugged him. Watch their news, read Drudge. This whole story drives them closers to Trump, not farther away.

I understand they are deplorable. I get they are shit heads. I also realize that they have all 3 branches of government and elected a clown like Donald Trump as President. So please don't tell me we don't need to peel some of them away.

I'm sure i'll catch hell again. I just don't think we hit hard enough.

Trump lied.
