It happened quickly.

Reaction to the black president was people losing their minds, like finding these sources as credible, etc.

Everything from idiots aka tpartiers, trump, etc., it is all because america lost it's actual MIND when the black guy won.

4. I was wondering that, too, when that nimrod turned up on Hairball.

Why give outfits like Newsmax and Breitbart air time, suggesting that they are in any way credible sources? What's next, The National Enquirer and Weekly World News? Maybe Tweety can ask about Jackie O. giving birth to Elvis' baby in the Bermuda Triangle while he's at it.

6. I've asked myself that question many times. Newsmax was the fake news behind all the Clinton

scandals in the 90's. Their books went from Hillary having an affair with Vince Foster and being responsible for his death. Actually they claimed he was murdered rather than the official cause of his death being a suicide. Then they claimed Hillary Clinton was a lesbian. And the same people who were promoting those lies in the 90's are still around today, and still lying.

"Dead Intern" Joe is telling the truth about Trump. dailymail, newsmax, I see heritage and cato and weekly standard quoted at lot. Newsmax is just as much corporate media as any of the others.

Why people go back to Tweety, is a mystery to me.

Through thick and thin! Matthews is not happy with what is going on either, just fyi.

As for Chuck Todd, yea, who knew? The world is turning and journalists are realizing how dangerous this guy is. Besides, he offends them and tries to silence them. That's not the way it works or should ever work.

13. I can't forgive Tweety for his love fest over Dubya.

I thought he was going to fall out of his chair, when Dubya landed on his air craft carrier with Mission Accomplished in the background. Tweety had to wipe the drool from his mouth.

Yeah Todd...I cannot believe how people like that or Kelly or Lemon or or something never thought of...maybe they are getting nervous.

Trump did threaten to raise (no idea how) libel laws as a threat to shut up the M$M. Now they are the enemy.

Crazy shit.

Not sure the exact reference, but maybe they are referencing something they published that has since been proven true?
