That jackass from Ohio, Jim Jordan is on with Katy Tur!


Edit to this thread: I am not bashing Katy Tur! All I was saying is that I won't listen to Jim Jordan. I received a response that I was bashing her, which not the truth.

She also brought forceful and angry attention to the children being taken away from their mothers.

And that’s just in the last few days. I’m sure you know she wrote a book about Trump’s ill treatment of the press during the campaign.

She’s done more to critizise Trump than most members of the media.

But, because she acts like a girl and giggles sometimes she gets critizised more.

...media who is really exposing this shit -- is doing RUMP's work for him....so personally for me I mostly hold any media because the goal is to destroy the press and I see an awful lot of that around here too.

I can't tell you how much it upsets me when I see people here degrading the press ...so we have some liberals doing it and the alt reich and RUMP. That ain't good.

The media has to be our ally. There is no one else at the moment, with Republicans and Fox News firmly in control of all 3 branches of government. But I suppose we're going to have our share of morons who yammer on about "GEM$NBC" and crap all over all manner of reasonable journalists because they objected to something someone said some time ago.

The constant over-talking they learned in How to Block Your Interviewer:101 sends my b/p sky high. I refuse to die because of a Republican.

I don't know from Jim Jordan but disliked him within the first few seconds with his self-serving smirk and condescending tone I knew he had to be wiped out of my day. I'll bet he and Trump get along just fine.

She went back to questioning why he and the R’s are okay with Trump’s constant lying three times and then ended on it again as Jordan refused to answer. I can’t stand listening to him as he is one of the most blatant Trump humping shits. I don’t know what more reporters can do. I mean there is an option of shutting an interview down but that would only give these liars what they want because they can play persecuted victim and idiots will buy it.

I think it’s all horrid programming that is nothing more than entertainment disguised as news. I’ve never been shy about saying so. I’m glad MSNBC is out there to counter Fox, specially two of their personalities. Still not good for actual news.
