You really can't compare what someone did 50 years ago with today!


Can you provide want the post wrote about Cronkite's claim "W have lost he war" when he was in Saigon during the TET Offensive when in FACT we WON the war by WINNING every major battle of TET.


Even the head general if the North Viet Nam army was surprised when we STOPPED because we had them beat.

OP, why do you keep deflecting? For the 3rd time, your threat of violence is not neutralized by others threats of violence. In the case above, you do not address the fact that trump lies so your deflection must mean you agree but will not publicly admit the lies that come out of the White House. We are in dangerous territory when people stop trusting the media and only trust one source (a source, I might add, that is a proven bad source). Then again, it is feasible that many of these posters are enemies of America. That is something that would make logical sense to me.

just because you haven't seen them outside your doublewide doesn't mean they aren't sneaking around in back.

Hating evil is NOT a vice, it's a virtue and CNN is, but its conduct, evil.

If a reporter from CNN/NYT came to my door tonight I'd set the dogs on them,just after throwing a bucket of sloppy horse manure over them.
Never have. From the time I was about 16 or 17 I could recognize the BS coming from the mainstream news and I rejected it and started seeking out other news sources. My father still watches one of the nightly news shows at 6:30 I believe I refuse to listen to it when I am over there...nothing but lies and distortions.

NYT and WaPo have added a significant number of digital subscribers. They seem to be doing well.

I can’t believe that Trump has completely brainwashed so many people with his “fake news” bs! I’m extremely worried about the US! We’re in serious trouble when the president doesn’t even let the news media do their job.

I believe it's his 34%-37% approval rating folks. Many media outlets like NYT, WaPo, USA Today, MSNBC etc are doing well.
