Very much in favor of the firing of Mr. McCabe, very much against Mr. Comey, very much in favor of Donald JOHN Trump.


An excerpt:


"For the longest time, James B. Comey, as director of the FBI, portrayed himself as the world’s tallest Boy Scout, and many in the media viewed him that way. Even when his decisions and actions were under scrutiny during the 2016 presidential campaign, Comey exuded a veneer of professionalism and decorum.


Comey destroyed that image, first through his admission that he orchestrated a leak to the New York Times in hopes that it would lead to the appointment of a special counsel — a signal to the FBI rank and file he once led that if you can’t achieve a result you want through aboveboard means, consider subterfuge. Such actions are expected of politicians. Americans expect the FBI to be better, especially at the top".


However, I suppose if one does not read the WP, then one would be forgiven for believing that the WP only posts editorials in favor of Mr. Comey et al.
Okay, let me ask you this - Do you think that Trump is going to get impeached or resign? If your answer is "yes" then you've been watching/reading too much liberal mainstream media.

That is the story they've been selling for the past 14 months or more. A recent analysis found that the mainstream media coverage in 2017 was 90% against Trump. That is not balanced, any way you look at it.

When it comes to Fox & Friends, Sean Hannity, Dobbs, Sara Carter and Ingram not one bit.

There are 2.5 more years in his term. There is plenty of time.

It's entirely possible Donny boy will end up getting impeached if the Dems win back the house in November. Before the election, I thought Donald was just a buffoon and not very bright. 14 months or so in and he has proven to be that and then some. And for Ralph Peters to call out his OWN employer and decide not to renew his contract w/them because of their incessant desire to protect a corrupt politician in Donald Trump was eye opening indeed.

Please stop with the whole "more people watch FOX so it must be better" argument. Ed Sheeran had the best-selling album last year but that didn't change the fact that it is still crap music.

Have you ever stopped to wonder why the other mainstream cable networks don't get as much viewership as FOX? Here is a hint -- it involves age demographics and technology. Hopefully you'll be able to put it together.

Impeachment for nothing will only help Trump. Like
It did Bill Clinton

No, of course we should not simply believe everything we see in any article. But there is something vital missing in the two comment quoted above, namely, any detailed objections or examples of exactly what the MSN article got wrong. I would not be surprised if there is more to the story than can be found in this brief MSN article, and perhaps these extra details would cast a whole new light on the story. But these simplistic, unsupported accusations against the credibility of MSN (especially this particular article) are pointless - unless, of course, the whole point is to simply muddle the internet with anonymous assertions and mindless bickering that completely buries any hope of intelligent discussion under a pile of rubble.

So, can anyone point to any specific examples of how this MSN article is wrong or misleading?

I listen to CNN and Fox news. If there was ever an award for propaganda it would go to CNN.

Not arguing whether or not there is any truth to what this guy said.

But seeing a former employee bash his former employer is something we see daily, both in our own personal every day lives, and on TV.
