it'd be great if some GOP legislators would grow a spine/soul and vote against Trump in the house and senate, but they appear to be incapable

Haha the Gateway Pundit is now officially WH credentialed. Jesus fucking Christ.

Look, I don't care if you think CNN or MSNBC are biased (they are) but this outlet literally makes up news stories. This is simply not healthy.

2/13/2017 1:42:55 PM

You didn't hear? There are works behind the scenes to have http://www.whitehouse.gov automatically redirected to http://www.breitbart.com.

2/13/2017 1:44:16 PM

2/13/2017 1:47:31 PM

^^ Breitbart is a Pulitzer Prize winning caliber outlet compared to the other dumpster fire. They are InfoWars caliber. Potentially worse because people think they are serious.

You realize propaganda-tier outlets like the HuffingtonPost and Breitbart are/have been credentialed for awhile now?

2/13/2017 1:49:44 PM

As I said, both are far, far, far more reputable.

Huffington Post is basically Fox News. Legit news outlets with huge biases. Breitbart and Salon are probably equal.

GWP is pure, unadulterated fakeness. They literally make up things.

No, the HuffingtonPost and Breitbart are equally dogshit, they were created by the same people with the same plan.

It actually reveals a lot about the bias of people trying to measure bias, when they rank news outlets. Since HuffPost and Breitbart are mirror images of each other it always is telling when someone thinks Breitbart is more biased.

Fox is on the same bias tier as CNN, MSNBC. They are just more open about their leanings and catch more flak for it.

Since you seem to be sincere and not trolling today...

Honestly I've almost never visited either site. Probably Breitbart a bit more pre-Trump. They were a fascinating different worldview until they became extensions of Trump (not the GOP, Justin him).

The bulk of my news consumption is whatever my Bloomberg considers a top source (NYT, WPT, WSJ, BI, etc)

2/13/2017 2:15:51 PM

CNN and Fox were not always on the same level. I think CNN lowered itself a good bit when it threw 100% of its weight behind the HRC campaign. I still go there on a regular basis.

2/13/2017 2:23:22 PM

CNN gave more positions to Trump insiders than any other outlet

2/13/2017 2:24:45 PM

Probably because CNN gave more airtime to Trump than any other candidate, because Trump was playing the media like a fiddle to get free press coverage 24/7.

2/13/2017 2:25:52 PM

Breitbart was legit though right leaning when Andrew Breitbart was still alive. Once he died it really went full retard. Huffpo is similar. It started being utter dogshit about 2007 or 2008.

CNN is a real problem, they pretend to be unbiased, but they aren't. They also aren't really news, they're almost entirely editorial in what they do. Fox and MSNBC are pretty open about their biases, CNN is not.

2/13/2017 2:48:52 PM

It was hard for them to resist, given the ratings he brought in. But it wasn't like they were positive about anything the reported when it came to Trump or his campaign. Not that he deserved anything positive. i'm just saying they threw objectivity to the wind during the campaign season.

Credit the great investigative journalists (or noted fake news peddlers depending on your views) from the Washington Post. Flynn resigned about 30 minutes after they broke the story that not only could he be compromised but Trump's team knew it for months.

Would I be incorrect in saying there is far more concrete evidence of the Trump camp being in bed with Russia now than there ever was of the supposed Clinton quid pro quo? Manafort, Flynn and Page now.

I said on here we should treat that Dossier with skepticism and I still think most of it is likely nonsense but if there isn't a major probe into Trump and conflicts of interest with Russia now that is pathetic. He knew weeks ago what Flynn did and only asked him to resign when it was finally reported.

Investigative journalism is still alive at least. NYT broke news about the email server and WaPo now.

*** but regardless, one less psychopath having Trump's ear is a major positive

The Russians purged some spies and tried them with treason for leaking information to the US soon after the inauguration and Flynn got security clearance.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/01/news/fsb-kaspersky-arrests/

Gee I wonder how Russia discovered the names of the spies who were working for us. Interesting coincidence no doubt.

2/14/2017 7:41:30 AM

^yep, for this and other questions, the investigations need to start picking up some steam.

I mean how could Trump et al. Keep Flynn in security briefings when they knew he might be communicating unofficially with Russia? They're either just too dumb to realize it might be a problem or they're complicit.

[Edited on February 14, 2017 at 8:17 AM. Reason : Seems unlikely Flynn was acting without others in the administration knowing.]

Only to a hack there was no quid pro quo evidence. Quatar and Saudi Arabia just felt like helping to "fight AIDS in Haiti" and donated $millions to the Clinton Foundation. The meetings that happened afterwards had nothing to do with the donations.

You are one of the bigger hacks on here.

2/14/2017 9:45:04 AM

The Benghazi panel revealed that information, there was no "investigative journalism" to expose that from the NYT.

The NYT is the email that actually had to send an apology letter to its viewers apologizing for their biased support of Clinton during the election cycle.

2/14/2017 9:53:26 AM

No. They didn't. You are literally parroting Trump lies.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/nov/15/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-new-york-times-apologized-bad-co/

Note, this also says the NY Times broke the email server story.

They did say that the underestimating of Trump support was bad. Though Trump himself didn't think he was going to win on election night.

[Edited on February 14, 2017 at 10:22 AM. Reason : Hack]

2/14/2017 10:21:01 AM

I did read it. The entire letter is just the NYT saying "Yea we fucked up, we will try and do better". It is referred to as "the apology letter" because that is shorter than "admission of suck and promise to do better letter".

So when Trump says the NYT apologized to its readers, everyone knows what he means. Naturally the leftist politifact will say "No technically the NYT never said they apologize to their readers, the NYT said "my bad" instead of "I'm sorry" so Trump is a liar, FALSE".

2/14/2017 10:47:53 AM

Trump is a demagogue, a pathological liar, and a fraud. There is definitely much more lying underneath this resignation.

2/14/2017 10:57:19 AM

Wow, ad hominems attacking Trump? What a hot take.

2/14/2017 10:59:12 AM

What did Trump know and when did he know it?

2/14/2017 11:21:59 AM

I hope the media keeps up the Russia narrative, it is way more entertaining than the "white nationalist" narrative.

Maybe ya'll can start yelling "Russian agent" instead of "racist".

2/14/2017 11:53:38 AM

Goody for you, a person can be both!

2/14/2017 12:13:20 PM

You can't be impeached for racism, treason on the other hand......

2/14/2017 12:15:09 PM

Now that would be an absolutely fantastic media narrative. Even with intelligence agencies/press working against Trump 24/7, that seems like a stretch.

If you want to impeach him you should go with the Bill Clinton impeachment strategy.

2/14/2017 12:29:41 PM

It won't take much of a strategy. Hard to see a way this eventually doesn't end that direction it just keeps getting worse.

Only a matter of time before the relationship with Trump and Russia becomes more clear. It will just come down to how much can be proved of what he did or didn't know.

2/14/2017 12:42:59 PM

If Trump is ever subpoenaed by Congress and forced to testify under oath, he'll undoubtedly perjure himself since he's incapable of speaking for more than 5 seconds without telling a lie. According to Republicans, perjury is the most heinous of all crimes a President could commit, so I'm sure they'll begin impeachment proceedings shortly after.....

Yeah right lol
