Since when are any of those people "lefty idols"?

The right is the side caught up in the whole cult of personality thing.

I was going to say they dehumanized themselves a while ago. They're just upset because Trump points it out.

It's like when you find your mate cheating and get mad at the friend who let you and everyone else know about it.

I think Trump has simply succeeded in creating a loyal sheep following who will not ever question anything he does and will go on the attack for him, even to the degree of approving media censorship if Trump can get away with it.

The right is simply reaping what they sowed. almost 20 years of FOX acting as a propaganda tool for the right. Spreading lies, twisting truth and endlessly attacking leading members of the Democrats. Almost twenty years of this nonsense.

Now CNN has decided to be the FOX of the center left. They are doing exactly what Fox has done for decades. But even bigger is MSNBC, they now have the highest ratings, and the best demographics. And they are doing it with a better less argumentative format that is driving the best ratings in MSNBC history!

For the left this is the best news in decades. We finally have a level playing field, we finally have big powerful outlets playing the same blame game bs that the GOP and FOX have had for decades. just 2-5 years of this and the GOP will be a shadow of its former self. there are literally 3 times as many if not 4 times as many dems/lefties watching political cable news night after night. You have no idea how many door knockers the dems have lined up, there are more democrats signed up for the next elections than at any point in at least 40 years.

And frankly Trump did not do this, Mercer, Murdoch, Koch, Rove etc did this. They decided to try to push the USA to the right of right and to do it with the power of money and media.

The MSM is more complicit than the political system in maintaining the stranglehold the International Banking Families have over the world.
Got to keep it all in the family.

Its fun watching the left defend the lowest scum on the planet. Then they wonder why they can't get elected. Is this a Hollywood movie script or what. Where is Jack Bauer ?

Fox is a pale imitation of the the Leftist media that told lies with no opposition whatsoever for 50 years. The Leftist media's power is confirmed by the fact that people like you have no idea that you've been lied to constantly.

That's what people having been doing to conservatives in general, and particularly Trump supporters. It's been happening far longer than this poor media bs. And I would feel sorry, but they're the ones doing it!
