So, it's all the same. It's just that there are way more liberal media propaganda outlets than there are conservative.
Truly sad. Anything that contradicts your narrative is false news apparently. The Russians are winning the disinformation war.

Figures. Fox viewers don't like hearing the truth. They want to hear the bs, lies and propaganda. That's how they got conned by Crooked Trump.

The Trump cult needs their safe space where the truth is never spoken and Donald Trump is beloved by all. Conservative snowflakes meltdown anytime they are forced to leave their propaganda bubble.
One network out of 50 or more major media outlets does not make it a state run media, nice try with the analogy.

Because the Russians have flipped since the election and become part of the anti-trump movement. What does that make CNN, MSNBC actually most the MSM for that matter as well as the democrat party?

I would say all of it is the voice of Russian propaganda. Its sort of back where it belongs. The left had a long love affair with the communist soviet union. Now they get a second honeymoon.

Hey; the Russians are flipping the bills - why worry! They also have Soros to fall back on; I see his son is now getting in the business of 'nation building'! They would sell out America or take us to war with the Russians simply so we do not look at their corruption! Nothing like a news organization that has a primary goal of supporting illegal immigrants, open borders, globalization, and rotten trade deals! They simply forgot the legal American citizens in this Country!

I would still like to know what they are hiding. They have distanced themselves from the real news for so long for what? Of course they will slap themselves on their backs and buy a few journalism awards to try to convince the naïve that they are reporting the facts. They are over the top with their movement and there is something that they are hiding. There is something they are afraid the American people will find out.

Instead, Trump spent the holiday weekend “defending himself, misrepresenting the truth and attacking others,” Smith noted.
Quote:
“He did not attack [Russian President] Vladimir Putin or Russia. Nor did he express concern that the Russians attacked the United States. Nor did he pledge in any way to put measures in place to stop future attacks,” Smith said Monday on “Shepard Smith Reporting.”
I'm loving watching Shep give the finger to his bosses and the loyal Fox News viewer.

It is a good point.

But to be fair, this sort of election meddling was going on throughout the Obama years, and not once do I recall Obama denouncing it our calling for any action, prior to the day after the 2016 election, when Trump beat Obama's anointed successor, in a vote that no credible and noteworthy person claims that was improperly awarded to Donald Trump.

Is there any evidence yet to support the assertion that Donald Trump conspired with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton?

Still no? Wow, this increasingly appears to be a scam being perpetrated against the American people and their duly elected president Donald Trump. It is time that people start being held accountable for their epic wrongdoing in this matter.

He reminds me of an annoying child when he’s on. Hardly a good trait to have if you want to be a serious newsman. Maybe CNN will make him a fashion reporter.

If you ever need a good laugh tune in and watch him. I'm still searching for a Trump supporter that I can have a balanced conversation with. I still get he's making me rich because of the stock market crowd. Low information people just refuse to read anything out of their comfort zone. Trump haters are the same with only wanting to hear the bad press. I'm of the opinion that nothing is all good or all bad. There's just different degrees of good and bad. Hannity falls into the lower degree of the bad spectrum to me. Kudos to Smith for not buckling under to the Trump TV pressure. We all deserve fair, balanced news, not constant fact-less opinion. Or people just need to learn the difference between fact and opinion news. An even bigger challenge for some.

I also do not like editorials disguised as 'news'. That is why I don't watch CNN; except to see what they are up to know. Have you ever watched Harris Faulkner? I think of her as more of a fair and balanced reporter that leans on the conservative side.

While you approve of Smith; he never retracts and constantly attacks; just like your liberal media that is 95% negative on Trump. President Trump is following the script as best he can with the resistance all stacked against him. That is why we voted for him and that is why we are not complaining.

As far as the left; I was the left many years ago. I learned that you don't work for us; you work against us and that is why I switched. Plus Trump represented change and that is what DC needed more than anything else.
