He is terrible for this country. That's not rhetoric that is a statement of opinion based in reality, Dana.

If you have one running, it could be the reason.

On the other hand, calling opponents "traitors" who should be shot or hanged is.

I guess Dana wants criticism of the president banned?

On a different note, Jamie Raskins' left eye looks really inflamed. Hope he's OK.

garbage.

As for Raskin, excellent.

As for bash, f**k you. The violent rhetoric and division is spurred on by THIS administration, and the thugs that make up it.

Bash, when have you called THEM OUT? and don't play the game both sides do it.

Trump will probably bomb two boats tonight somewhere in the Mediterranean or eastern pacific off Colombia or Equador just to get high. He has a bloodlust that is addictive, like the Gilgo beach murderer.

She immediately tries to blame democrats. Dana, in this country we hold our leaders accountable. In fact, that is your job too as a member of the press.

And the worst part is that the CNN hosts (all of 'em) do most of the talking for most of the show. The person they are "interviewing" can barely get a word in, since the host basically never shuts up.

Wonder how many of CNN correspondents will be more critical of Democrats in order to get favor from possible new owners, who are friends of Trump.

The rightwing controlled news media corporations are going to try and blame Democrats for "raising the temperature" or some nonsense.

Absolutely insane that Bash would say something like this given what this guy is doing and that he is a convicted felon and a pedophile that raped and beat children.

We are facing the start of a multi-billion dollar media campaign to attack and we have little to no way to counter it at the same scale.

I do the same but millions of people still watch MSM and worse believe it.

Again though, we are talking Newspapers, radio and TV on a scale we have not seen before.

At no point has rightwing media controlled so many different forms of media. Especially CNN and CBS are huge. I honestly don't know how we overcome it.
