UmmI have not turned on FOX in about 7 weeks, and before that it was probably about 2 hours over the last 6 months. So, you failed on that opinion. I have already told you who I watch..

Take your own advice and start thinking.
Stolen emails are not fake news. They're real, whether they were stolen or leaked or reported on by the media.

) Thursday night, April 9th at 7:00p.m. Dinner at the Home of John
Podesta. His address is 3743 Brandywine St NW in Washington, DC. This will
be with about 20 reporters who will closely cover the campaign (aka the
bus).
John Podesta had a private dinner with a bunch of reporters off the record to discuss Hillary and her failing campaign..And we "trumpists" can see right through your lies and obfuscation

HRC was sunk by her bad campaign strategy in ignoring key swing states she ended up losing. By getting into trouble with the FBI which could have been avoided by not storing the servers at her house. And by Comey's statement just before the election that they were looking back into the Clinton investigation at a time when absentee ballots were being filled out had a big effect. But Comey should still have his job, right?

Clinton is a bad campaigner. She lost to Obama in a race that was suppose to be hers. She barely got by Sanders if not for the DNC dirty tricks and Super Delegates she would have lost. And she lost to Trump even with all his missteps and errors. Yes she won senate races in a state that is 70% democrat. And even her first senate race was way closer than it should have been. People don't like her. Even the left was never crazy about her. She never figured out how to change that. Its on her.
Exactly, and was to be expected. Of course the DNC would favor Clinton over Sanders. Clinton was a long term Democrat who has worked within the party system for 0ver 30 years. Sanders is a staunch Independent who ran on the Democratic Party train and trying to hijack the party, the way Trump ultimately hijacked the Republican party.
The Democratic National Committee privately fought back against the takeover as those emails clearly show whereas the Republican party rolled over like parvo puppies for the Trump.

Which party was the bigger fool?

Do conservatives care about having an independent press capable of criticizing the President?
The White House press corps believes their job is to delegitimize the Trump administration, and they have set out to do so.

I don't care if there is NEVER another White House press conference. Let them stand outside and yell questions as Trump boards the helicopter for all I care.

Agree, why the republicans want to damage it and suppress free speech is a mystery.

Here's a list of 40. Most of them deal with rolling back regulation and red tape.
President Donald Trump has signed 40 bills into law. Here's what they do - CNNPolitics.com
