HRC had tons of specific policy proposals. Trump's the one who ran a cultish "emotions" campaign emulatorloo Aug 2017 #54

It has a whole fucking lot to do with reality. Trump actually had ridiculous specific proposals JCanete Aug 2017 #57

You're projecting Trump's campaign on to HRC. Speeches/debate highlighted policy. emulatorloo Aug 2017 #59

so you prefer Russian state media Progressive dog Aug 2017 #66

RT-Hartmann, Schultz, Papantonio, Hedges Why not? Are they Russians? Fox-different pt of view George Eliot Aug 2017 #69

That "are they Russians?" is funny Progressive dog Aug 2017 #70

"MSNBC is the Messiah" is one of the dumbest hyperbolic nonsense I've read on DU emulatorloo Aug 2017 #56

Can media be too influential? Is msnbc corporate media with a corporate message? George Eliot Aug 2017 #62

"can media be too influential?" isn't hyperbole. "MSNBC is the Messiah" is ridiculously hyperbolic emulatorloo Aug 2017 #64

I've studied media as well. Fox and MSNBC are the same on a basic level: janx Aug 2017 #71

Maddow doesn't lie, Hannity lies constantly emulatorloo Aug 2017 #73

No, Maddow ≠ Hannity. That's absurd. That would be hyperbole. George Eliot Aug 2017 #74

Kucinich has pretty much gone full right wing anti-Democratic Party. MrsCoffee Aug 2017 #47

His daughter, Jackie, appears on CNN and Fox. What's his point of view on Fox? George Eliot Aug 2017 #75

All he does is defend Trump on Fox. MrsCoffee Aug 2017 #79

That's disappointing. Our Dept of Peace candidate defending Trump. Hard to believe. Thanks. George Eliot Aug 2017 #80
