Here's the funny part: A Republican comes out in public against Trump in public, you and your ilk drag them through the mud and call them useless, liars, thieves, etc. A Republican comes out against Trump in private, you and your ilk complain about why don't these "sources" come out in public?

This is why we can't have adult conversations. We're dealing with children who want their cake and eat it too. You try to discredit Republicans who publicly go against Trump and complain about the "fake" ones who aren't doing it public. You guys are clowns.

That sounded more like you're mad, because you got left out.

Of the clown car? If that's my ride, I'd rather walk.

I think what happens because of the Internet, they no longer have time to thoroughly vet the information they get or everyone beats them to the story.

Overseas, they used to have news bureaus in several countries. Reporters knew who they could go to for information and they had their ears to the ground so they knew what was going to happen (like an uprising) before it did. With overseas stories reporters are all reactionary now and they seem to often rely on the official press releases, which may or may not be the truth, from overseas government officials to source their stories.

Reporting is really crappy these days.
