I wonder why Trump didn't just have the reporter removed for disruption.
CNN will remove him, or won't have White House access. Nothing personal, just business.

In the past, I had that notion about America of laws and rights bla bal bal. but nowadays, that idea has changed (why), because of the increase of people killing on the street by policemen. I am not going to mention those victims from American themselves regardless of their background ...etc. you got some good activist who campaigned for them. but I can not understand why cop killed a man from United Arab Emirates ? that is smth I can not understand do not tell me that the poor Emirati did not stop or whatsoever!

In the end-- last night Kelyanne had to back down to CNNs Anderson Cooper-- facts: the other news people came up with a story of fake news but they linked CNN with it. NOW it was if 2 had the same story---
CNN said it did NOT confirm story-as part of their piece- - so then EL TRUMP and his people really went OFF on wrong assumptions-- or not verified facts.... CNN was actually clean in what they reported- small details --but clean

SO__In the next 4 years-will it go like this?
Mr Pres, Mr pres- I heard China dispatched a missile !-- Mr.T: what ?really?? no way--Bomb them back!! --
oh oh-- sorry- it was they buried a missile--- too late-

Hmm. I trust Michael Moore about as far as I could throw him, which wouldn't be very far. There is always some ulterior motive. In this case, maybe it's just to get his two cents in and get some attention.

Why he gets any attention at all is beyond me. He is nothing more than a liberal activist with bad personal hygiene that makes crappy movies.

What struck me is that this dossier has been circulated to media outlets for months and they have all passed on it because they couldn't verify any of the allegations. The only thing they could verify were several untruths. Why would they do it now? Don't they realize that every time they post obvious BS with an agenda, they make it harder on themselves down the road when they may have something really newsworthy to report? People have lost trust in these institutions completely.

yep. but see, no one actually READS anymore - they just read the headline and let some talking head tell them what it means.

The media is doing everything it can to undermine trump and it's sad.

Two lawyers - Richard W. Painter and Norm Eisen would disagree.

So don't hold your breath if you think this Trump Train will be derailed.
Perfection.

It's about Moore observing and telling the truth on what he sees. Unbiased. I enjoy listening to him even when I don't agree with what he says.

Even the 98% nonsense means-YOU HAVE A CHANCE.

The media and people who understand statistics dont judge polls by a single result. Gah!
So Hill's approval rating was 70% and Trumps was 30%.

I guess I understand your frustration
