They have some nerve questioning Trump's fact based response that 3-5 Million illegal voters cost him the popular voted. Russia didn't hack us, he had almost 2Million people at his inauguration, those are Trump facts. The major media are lying.
You must have missed the reference to the BBC in my post. You can find it here Home - BBC News You may also want to try www.rt.com or reuters.com or apnews.com or bloomberg.com which all provide the news and clearly separate opinion and magazine style pieces from the news reports.

Still waiting to see the actual data and not just opinion about Russia hacking.

Trump did have a greater audience watching worldwide than Obama.

Not 3-5 million illegal voters, 3-5 million illegal votes. Jill Stein's recount request seems to agree with Trump's allegations Oops! Stein's Recount Turns Up More Votes Than Voters in Detroit | Fox News Insider

The media needs to start fighting back, and it needs to happen now. No more live interviews should be granted; fact checkers need to pull apart every statement from this lying bunch of morally destitute, evil people. When they tell a lie, the press needs to immediately show the truth. Period. No more giving them any wiggle room to spout their BS as facts.

By the way, I can't wait to see if Trump does something like Putin's year-end press conference.

Vladimir Putin holds annual marathon press conference - Dec. 23, 2016

"Putin took questions for almost four hours in a room with 1,400 journalists "


I could just see big media having a meltdown that they are just one of many in a room.

Maybe. But the GOP was always the party of the rich and never friendly to the working class. So now, we have no one.

(can't rep you need to spread it around it appears...)

I completely agree.

For months I have been wondering why the media has no backbone. I really don't get it.

Why is kellyanne allowed to lie and just keep talking. Why did they even put spicer on in the first place.

Steve Bannon should not be quoted, noted or interviewed. We need a lot more Joy Reid type people who don't let guests run the show.

I suggest we write, call email all media outlets and tell them we support them and want subscriptions, but they must hold Donald accountable.

why are you threating people here now?


Bentbow, enjoy this limited time while you can, Ryan and the GOP are likely going to impeach Trump very soon, he has almost zero chance of making it couple of years, never mind 4 years.

You don't want to make it personal... Because I know where you live.

Not impossible, but I doubt it. If you are of the opinion that Trump is incompetent, better to just let him burn out slowly until the next election. If you impeach, there would be defenders and believers that will not be convinced of the incompetence and more importantly who from your side would take the reins as opposed to simply handing the kit and kaboodle to Pence.

If you think that was a "free" truthful exchange of information have a bridge to sell you...
Putin has has people killed who actively try to bring the truth to light about his activities...

nope, you don't get to define who is afraid of what.

But I do. Why? because you are just spewing hate , not adding to the conversation, not expressing ideas.

ultimately you know Trump can't last, he is like a blackhole killing everything near him . Ryan and the GOP will either have to throw him to the wolves or risk being on the wrong side of history for decades.
