Thing is - -we have live tv, and social media to record exactly what is happening as it happens. We don't need NBC to fill us in -- we see it. We hear it out of the mouths of babes....Republicans and Democrats alike.

YEs -- or the Access Hollywood tape.

Like those were the only two issues that may have swayed voters.

At what point has anyone made such a claim?

Hard to decide this. Remember it was CNN that helped Hillary to cheat at the debates.

But I do admit that NBC is pretty bad. Chief liar Brian Williams is still on their payroll and on air.

You shouldn't insult people, companies, etc. when you DON'T watch them and DON'T know what they a actually say and do.

Media Matters has suckered you right in.

My point was that if NBC tried to influence the election, so did Fox, and Judge Jeanine, along with Sean Hannity, probably tried hardest of anyone working there. Those two were serious Trump groupies far, far in advance of the general election.

Shattered glass house, surrounded by stones.
" but thanks for the giggle."

My pleasure. "Simple minds are easily amused" as they say.


I don't disagree with your statement.

Except, "Shattered glass house, surrounded by stones"

Not quite the same.

But, I will add, that were as many people on FOX who were ANTI-Trump as there were for him.

Also keep in mind the 2 you mentioned do NOT do the "news" but, are OPINION shows and they do NOT hide their bias as many on the ABC networks and the print media do.

And it's even stupider for people to claim that the reason others voted for Trump was because of Russia. Not that you've done that but others have.

You started with the insults, I thought my response was actually pretty mild. I have many, many faults, but I assure you, poor reading comprehension is not one of them. It literally did make me giggle.

My point was, as commentators who are blatantly in the bag for Trump, I'm not sure I consider these people objective sources of information, when it comes to anything regarding him or the 2016 election.

What is really sad is the fact that just about all I see from leftists on this thread is Saul Alinsky styled attempts at ridiculing the opposition rather than engaging them with reasonable debate about why their position may be wrong. Saul Alinsky encouraged folks to use this tactic when they had no winning argument to offer.

Very sad.
