Well I Guess The MSM Wasn't Too Rickrolled By Trump Yesterday To Ignore Him Going Forward....

MSNBC is televising a live speech of his lies now. They are aiding and abetting a danger to this country. I will hold the media responsible if Trump gets elected.

She has a schedule too. So frustrating. Where's she speaking and why is it not covered?

by saying it probably was because Trump was talking to a group of people that lost loved ones and that is why Trump sounded like a zombie. He was being subdued and
sympathetic.

5. For all their whining about and scapegoating the "liberal media"

That same media has cleared a path to allow Trump carte blanche bloviating for the the past 14 months.

Sometimes I wish the "liberal media" just lived up to its namesake and actually lambasted conservatives in the same one-dimensional manner as the avowed "conservative media" chastises progressives.

Comcast-NBC-MSNBC gave the Con Job's so called Foundation some 500k and then paid off law suits against one of his Reality TV Shows. The CEO of NBC Universal disclosed this several weeks ago and that they fully backed this sick lick.

11. Could The 500K To The Foundation Be A Sneaky Way To Pay Trump?....

Comcast-NBC-MSNBC get a charitable tax write-off; the money funnels to Trump where he passes it on to a charity and gets another write-off & in the off chance he might even buy a 6ft painting of himself. Sounds like this can border on being illegal.
