    They've "determined" this?

    Please point me to where they say they've reached such a determination.

    Trump will be lucky to break 40 pct. of the popular vote. Can we stop pretending he has a chance?

    Jesus.

    The press used to exhibit some skepticism when the government tried to spin them.

    I guess that now comes and goes depending on which party is on power.

    (It's also like the Ben Rhodes article never happened.)

    Either way, the FBI has not determined that he didn't know the difference between Hezbollah and ISIS, or that radical Islam was not his motivation.

    It's pretty important to the future of the nation that Cheeto Jesus gets absolutely ass-beat into the fucking dirt, by enough of a margin that his idiot supporters crawl off into holes for the 5-10 years most of them have left to live, and they realize they've pretty much forfeited any right to run their mouths in future elections.

    So it's important not to just "win" the election, but to win so much that people say, "what the hell?"

    And it's really important too that the election not be seen as a great victory for a doddering old corporatist machine politician, but an utterly shattering defeat for an incompetent, unqualified, unfit, undeserving, disgraceful, disgusting abortion of a sham candidate -- enough so his only honorable move the day after the election should be the Kurt Cobain Solution.

    In a scenario where Trump gets 39% of the vote -- not out of the question, btw -- what percentage would you predict Hillary gets?

    In other words, what percentage do third party candidates get?

    Inky gives the government the benefit of the doubt.

    After WMDs, Jessica Lynch, and Pat Tillman, the media pledged to not get spun again, and to question the government's well packaged narratives.

    Then along came Obama, and that went out the window.

    Now, Ben Rhodes can walk us through how he wrote, and disseminated a counter narrative, and the media still pretends they haven't fallen victim to it.

    Then again, maybe they aren't victims, but willing participants.

    It must be difficult for YF to walk around with the raging boner he gets at the thought of being able to rip the media over the actions of a Muslim.

    As usual, "media bias" means "them folks ain't reportin' the story in a way that matches what I already believe!"

    To be fair, they're reporting it better than you're consuming it.

    You think they've made conclusions that they haven't, and you're believing the counter narrative in a way most are not.
