The MSM Missed An Opportunity For A Question At The Earlier Repug Press Conference Today.....

[global1]

When Grassley, Hatch, Lee, Cornyn were up talking to the press today it seems to me that the MSM missed a golden opportunity to put them on the spot with the following question:

"Many women's groups; disability rights groups; Jesuits; Educational Institutionals including Kavanaugh's Alma Mater Yale; Law Teachers and Legal Institutions have come out against the confirmation of Kavanaugh. How do you Senators that sit on this Judiciary Committee and the whole of the Republican Senate justify Kavanaugh's confirmation when all these important groups think Kavanaugh shouldn't be confirmed? Surely you must put some credence in what they have recommended and said? How do you justify your actions given this real and credible anti-Kavanaugh sentiment?"

The Media should put these guys on the spot with questions of this nature.

1. The Media Is Useless

For the most part, they are just interested in ratings. Drumpf gives them viewers, and that's enough for them.

4. So Is Trump Right When He Says He'll Be Re-elected In 2020 Because.....

the MSM will want him and they will help him get re-elected?

8. i think it's very likely

if Trump makes it to 2020 un-indicted and in good health he's almost certainly getting re-elected unless the economy tanks hard.
that's just how we roll in this country.

first, the media will tailor coverage to make it a horse race.
then, they'll do the usual trick of raising the bar for the Democratic challenger while holding him to zero standards whatsoever.
so he'll win and call it destiny or God's Will or whatever works at the moment.

2. How often does the media do that? Crickets.

7. They actually do it quite a bit

They just never get an answer. And that's ok with a large swath of the American public.

3. They do not care

They got elected and have a vote it is all that matters to them public opinion or what the majority of Americans want
is not a concern.

Look at health care m4a or some sort of UHC has like what 50%? 60%? 70%? popular support and yet they will
do everything they can to strip it from you. Med prices skyrocket, preexisting conditions back on the table, lifetime caps
for insurance that does not want to pay to begin with.

I think people put to much on The Media... It's up to the avg Joe to fix this.

6. Thank you!

It's not like they've never been asked this question. THEY. DON'T. CARE.

5. And then we would have had a Perry Mason moment, the world would have seen for the very first time

that these guys are hypocritical phonies, they would have caved in and admitted how wrong they've been and all would be right with the world.

If only a reporter had asked them during this press confererence why they were ignoring what various outside groups had to say about Kavanaugh because no one has ever asked that question before.
