The sooner moderate and conservative people realize most of the MSM is nothing more than a propaganda arm of Democratic party, the better off and well informed they will be.

So therefore, quite naturally, you think FOX news is a more truthful and reliable alternative...Right?

And because of that, all those people will think this man was only an adviser to the former Republican president. I'm sorry, but this is a prime example of bias in the media. The headline should have included Obama and Bush.
Or neither.

The print article however just says Bush, Bush, Bush.....Bush bush bush.

Also the title just says Bush.

Hmmmm.....ABC uses the following headline if you access their news from a different angle.

Megachurch pastor with ties to Presidents Bush, Obama to surrender Monday: Attorney - ABC News

Well gee, WHY would the whiney righties who claim Obama is a Muslim try to tie him to a Pastor?

It clearly states both relatioinships -- the headlines are headlines -- they aren't the news. You are suppose to read the article.

I guess the same way that his ties to Bush. This thread was started because of his ties to Bush but he/she conveniently left out the fact that he also had ties to Obama.

In the same way they are with his ties to Bush as the article tried so hard to do.

We actually probably agree on more things that you realize, I often defend Trump and Conservatives because the attacks on them have been unfair and over the top even when I don't agree with them on that particular issue....I bet you do the reverse.
