Do your own research before defending the far-right and their lies.

As for the Maryland shooter, anyone who thinks a middle-aged white guy who shoots up a newspaper in the age of Trump isn't more likely to be right of center vs. left of center is kidding themselves. He was a thug who wanted to use a gun to solve his problems... sounds like half of the "gun defense" posts on this forum... is anyone surprised at the outcome? I'm not.

Did you just excuse a reporter intentionally lying? As long as the ends justify the means, right?


Do you not understand the difference between a news reporter and a commentator?

The reporter owned up to the lie and resigned his job as he should have. We're still waiting for the president to at least admit he lies and makes up stuff. His most recent lie is that he has "great respect for journalists" after over a year of declaring them the "enemy of the people."

He did so after his boss called him out on it. That said, he still apologized graciously and, apparently, sincerely.

Gee so quick to point out the media failings but, the True owner of being an enemy of the truth and honesty is Trump himself.

Trumpers are funny, their little snowflake lies virtually everyday and they want to a YUGE issue of a hat or lack of one. I'll start taking them seriously when they start calling Donny out on his lies.

They won't have to resign. The press (and CNN) are losing readers/viewers by the barrelful so they are forced to lay off staff. They forget that people who mostly watch TV news and read newspapers these days are old but they are out there trying to appeal to young people (because of their advertisers) as the population ages and are turning off old people, their actual audience, in the process. It's just a bad business strategy.

"Older people will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history by 2035, according to new projections by the Census Bureau. Aging baby boomers are one of the main drivers of this trend...By 2030, all baby boomers will be older than 65, and the Census Bureau projects that will grow the size of the older population so much that 1 in 5 people in the U.S. will be retirement age "

I'd give you the actual Census Bureau link that this NPR story is based on but right now their website is down.

Saying something horrible and untruthful on purpose, then an apology/retraction............I am seeing a pattern of this awful behavior.

Another lie !!!

Trump said that the "fake News media was the enemy of the people." Any reasonable person could conclude the same. When dealing with the left we are not dealing with reasonable people. We are dealing with a disinformation campaign and selective outrage emotional child like element of the population.

If we post a thread every time the media lies we would have another sticky. Its a daily occurrence. Every time they say immigration when talking about illegal immigration they are lying.

You have examples? It’s funny how Crooked Hillary supporters act like she was such an honest person .
