12. Must disagree. Nothing out of bounds, the Republic is in peril and we need to fight and claw and use

every tool available to discredit and call these traitors out. They have done more to destory the country than any administration in history. And lest we forget, this was comedy it’s just that the skin thinned Republicans can’t take a joke. Calling Sanders a liar is factually true. Wolf said nothing that wasn’t true. She spoke truth to power about the NYT too. Trump has been a windfall for all media but especially the left. Haberman received a Pulitzer and now what is she a Trump sympathizer? All the lies Conway and Sanders spew that directly have negative affects on our country and she is offended by a few mild jokes? l’m starting to think that the left needs their own version of lying Tea Party radicals. I’m sick of the criticism of Wolf. I loved every moment and savored every word.

And the amount of sympathy being generated for Sanders B2G Apr 2018 #10

It's nice to know you sympathize with SHS tenderfoot Apr 2018 #27

I don't. B2G Apr 2018 #28

I see she's receiving sympathy from other right wingers on Twitter tenderfoot Apr 2018 #30

'Other right wingers'? B2G Apr 2018 #31

Can you not read? tenderfoot Apr 2018 #32

The poster named Dennis Miller and Laura Ingrahm as other right wingers ChubbyStar Apr 2018 #33

Right after he accused my of sympathizing with her. B2G Apr 2018 #37

I read the exchange and saw nothing untoward ChubbyStar Apr 2018 #38

Sympathy from filthy right wingers like Dennis Miller. Kingofalldems May 2018 #84

The sympathy is from the same ones that are ok with bigoted attacks on minorities JI7 Apr 2018 #70

I see no sincere sympathy for her... LanternWaste Apr 2018 #83

I totally disagree. Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #11

But they rarely call them lies... paleotn Apr 2018 #15

Exactly. They normalized the brazen lying by airing it without comment. nt SunSeeker Apr 2018 #17

Yep, they couldn't bring themselves to say what they actually were...lies. paleotn Apr 2018 #20

The headlines should have been, "Trump repeatedly lies at rally." SunSeeker Apr 2018 #23

+10**10 sharedvalues Apr 2018 #45

Here you go. 2015 MEDIA REPORTS OF TRUMP LIES. I think you guys weren't following Trump closely then Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #50

These are not headline stories but opinion/ analysis pieces. SunSeeker Apr 2018 #55

You always seem very eager to jump in to defend the Trump party line EffieBlack Apr 2018 #65

See my post #50 below, listing some of the 2015 reports of Trump lies by major news orgs/media. Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #52

Wrong. See my reponse to your post #50. nt SunSeeker Apr 2018 #56

I see you can't accept that you were incorrect. Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #58

Project much? Those were not headlines, they were opinion pieces. SunSeeker Apr 2018 #59

Oh, give me a break. Get a grip, dude. Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #61

So you studied journalism, but you don't know the difference between reporting and opinion. SunSeeker Apr 2018 #64

Sunseeker is exactly right. The media failed to be objective. sharedvalues Apr 2018 #74

Absolutely untrue. They were listing his lies way back. Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #46

The GOP propaganda machine is most at fault sharedvalues Apr 2018 #49

"Rusher" was a major player. Fox/Trump/Rusher/Guliani all colluded together... Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #53

Wrong, the headline story was never that he repeatedly "LIED" at a rally, etc. SunSeeker Apr 2018 #57

I'm sorry you can't accept the facts. Honeycombe8 Apr 2018 #60

It is you who cannot accept facts. The media did not do their job "very well" in 2016. SunSeeker Apr 2018 #67

No. The media did a BAD JOB. sharedvalues Apr 2018 #73
