They all lie, but like the poster you quoted the biased media would never ask a D president that same question.

LOL, I mean, this is just ridiculous, the media are propaganda puppets for the DNC, how is this not obvious to anybody.

Again, they would NEVER ask this question to Obama and he's a lying sack just like ALL politicians are. I'm not concerned about the fact that Trump lies or Obama lies per se, I'm more concerned that we don't have an unbiased media.

The media are supposed to be watch dogs or sorts and they are not that anymore, they are activist, simply disguised as media.

Nah.

Thin skinned Cadet Bonespurs whines and complains because he doesn’t have the composure, maturity, and statesmanship to let the criticism roll off of his back.

In your mind, because you don’t like to hear your messiah being criticized, nor put on the spot.

Reporters are 99% Leftist Activists. Everything they do and say is to push the far left agenda.
So what? They still ask questions, as in this case, that people who are neither leftists nor Democrats want answered.

Quote:
So instead of asking legitimate, meaningful questions they make speeches in the form of a question and ask "gotcha" type questions. It is irresponsible and not reporting but activism.
Again, they’re illegitimate to you because you don’t like to hear your messiah being criticized. The old ‘beat your wife’ example of a gotcha question isn’t the same as this because in that there is no reason to assume that the person being asked is a wife beater. This is different because there is not only reason to assume that Trump is a profuse liar, he IS a profuse liar.

From Wikipedia:
"Commentators and fact checkers have described this as "unprecedented" in American politics and the consistency of these falsehoods has become a distinctive part of both his business and political identity"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veraci...y_Donald_Trump

Facts show that the President meets the criteria of being a pathological liar. Some can bury their heads in the sand about this because it does not fit their world view but facts are facts.

The reporter asked a fair and honest question regardless of if some here (or anywhere) think it is irrelevant, unimportant or not. Given the facts, it deserved a fair and honest response. Would one expect a fair and honest answer (or even engagement) from a pathological liar?

Will the portion of American voters who pride themselves on limiting fraud, waste and abuse in government as well as a limited and honest government not vote for a pathological liar who is repeatedly lying, attempting to circumvent laws and expand government (in this case the executive branch) or instead, will these voters engage in hypocrisy by voting for said such candidate even in the face of the facts and against the tenants they claim are so important to them? That is the million dollar question.
Wiki gets you an F if you use it as a source for a paper in HS or college. The Fact checkers have been shown to be totally unreliable leftist propaganda rags.

The media is neither fair nor honest. If you call this fair and honest, you just show that you have ceased to use your brain.

There's a good argument that President Trump is the most honest and forthright president we have had in a long time. He never hesitates to speak his mind as he is very impulsive and shoot from the hip. You generally have a pretty good idea of where he is coming from. What the Trump hating media calls his lies is normally his PT Barnum Reality TV show exaggerations/boasts-Biggest inauguration crowd ever! Mexico will pay for the wall! And sometimes his impulsiveness means he spouts out things that are just wrong. There's a difference between being wrong and lying. The MSM lied and knew they lied about the Russian conspiracy story. So did the FBI. It wasn't a case of merely being wrong.

I have to wonder if any reporter will ask Kumala if she regrets sleeping with her married boss for a promotion....

Both are disrespectful, unfortunately only one party is asked these types of questions.
Where is your record that Biden "accomplished nothing" during his time in the Senate? Would you say that McConnell, who has buried every piece of legislation put on his desk for years, "accomplished nothing" ?

Or are you lumping these individuals with a "group" that you perceive has done nothing?

Do sociopaths regret their lying? It's part of their makeup.

Wiki does not get one an F if used as a source. Information is entered and edited by people of all faiths, colors, creeds, political sides of the aisle etc. If all media is fake news / a hoax / neither fair nor honest according to you, that would mean two things.

1. You have meet every single person at every single media outlet in every single town, city and state

2. After you met every.... single.... person at every....single media outlet, you have determined that they are all neither fair nor honest. That all are liars who are all engaged in pushing lies.

I do not know you so maybe you have but did you get around to doing #1?

Unfortunately, based on your statement, it would appear you have closed your mind to any discussion as you are already engaged in blanket statements, willful as well as black and white thinking. You seem to have already made up your mind and are unwilling to open it and engage in a discussion where you may learn something or could be wrong. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case with a sizable portion of people here in the US.
