back to the lie. MLK bust was not removed. CNN once again provided FAKE NEWS to the world.
Exactly!

The debate in the OP has nothing to do with Churchill.

No. We need all media. And they can lie and publish fake news all they want. I just wish they wouldn't. I wish they didn't have an agenda that distorts their accuracy.

Churchill was like a dog with a bone on Hitler. When others were fine with appeasing Hitler, with ignoring what Hitler was doing, Churchill was not.

There's a lesson to be learned here.

I agree. There are lots of legitimate issues to criticize Trump on. But a huge number of the snowflakes choose to ignore the real issues and protest about fake issues.

Media lies are a real issue. What bust Trump chooses to put up is a fake issue.

So let's start over. Do you agree that Time should lie whenever it fits their agenda?
Even though my mother always said two wrongs don't make a right... if the prez can lie any time he opens his mouth.. yeah, why not everyone also lie? It will be the new normal, a trend started by the twitterer-in-chief.

Nothing wrong with Churchill being there, but MLK should be in plain sight. We literally have a national holiday to celebrate the man's great contributions to this country.

"but MLK should be in plain sight. We literally have a national holiday to celebrate the man's great contributions to this countr'

2 wrongs DON'T make a right!

Please explain why a person who was NEVER a President should have a national holiday when NOT 1 SINGLE president has a federal holiday.

I am NOT saying King should NOT be held in high esteem but really, does he belong in being held in HIGHER esteem then EVERY president we have had in our history or any other great American?

I think NOT!

So the reporter jumped to conclusions. No fact checking. The reporter could have simply asked "where is the bust of MLK?" Instead the reporter saw a chance to do a quick smear.
