You've convinced me that you really, truly believe that.

CNN ginned up a "bombshell" based on documents that have been circulating since the republican primaries - neither trump's GOP opponents nor Hillary clinton could make anything of it b/c it is NOT TRUE. They tried to corroborate the 'bombshell' by claiming a trump associate (cohen) was in Prague when in fact it was a different person by the same name - Im nto even sure how CNN would know the comings and goings of individuals.

Essentially, their bombsell was made up - they went full Dan Rather ...

Given you've alleged I've made statements I haven't, I don't have much faith in what you say. One of the reasons I'm posting on this topic is I believe it silly to label something 250 reporters had time to make plans to attend as a 'surprise'.

Yes it was. Here is the relevant clip. It's important to listen to the question that led up to the exchange.

Relative to how the press is generally coddled by politicians, it was absolutely epic.

Why do Muslims need to speak out against radicalized Muslims? They are just as responsible for radical terrorists as non-Muslims. They have no control over their actions and are not obligated to appease anyone else's fears and insecurities.

How lazy.

its Hilarious really. The fake news meme was created by the regressives just as much as "deplorables." They are being beaten with their own cudgel.

Just because Trump denies it, that isnt the end of it.

James Comey yesterday refused to comment so until he and his intelligence counterparts say there's nothing there, we really dont know.

And I think CNN did what every responsible news organization should do-report on this extensively as it is extremely dangerous intel if true.

for those of you PROGS that are outraged, please go ahead and express your outrage at Mr. Trump.


Just understand that actions by CNN and that stupid outburst by the CNN reporter.... then Mr. Trumps response are EXACTLY why we voted for him.
You dont get to not answer questions from a specific network, if you think there a "fake news" which is so ironic after this election cycle but fine, then there is a process for censuring them, pulling their credentials etc, what he did was 7th grade middle school crap that his basket loves, that bs was for you guys all show, focus on that snippet ignore the fact that his adult children will run his business AFTER they were part of the transition team that handled the appointments which kinda defeats the purpose but I am sure it will work out right? Pizzagate! Clinton foundation! Benghazi!

Good, because I do. Let me spell this out, its a non-partisan issue.

Russia:
1. Hacks emails from Hillary and the DNC
2. Releases damaging information from said emails with the intent of making Hillary look bad
3. Bad perception of Hillary by voters is assumed to make her get less votes
4. End goal, manipulate the election so their candidate wins

CNN:
1. Releases debate questions to Hillary for debate with Trump
2. Allows Hillary to be better prepared for debate than Trump
3. Hillary looks better than Trump during the debate, voters more likely to vote for her
4. End goal, manipulate the election so their candidate wins

Simple as that. Extent / volume of incidents (that we are aware of) are different, but intent and desired outcomes are exactly the same.
