President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Because rumor has it they can take a television and turn it into a watch. If that's not worth an extra $20,000, I don't know what is.

 

And, of course, Obama was half white. If he had darker skin and/or didn't have the upbringing and education afforded to him by his white grandparents, does hr ever get elected President?

 

LOL.

 

[The] naive mind ... can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement ...

 

I really don't know who the President thinks he's kidding with his trip to Pensacola and Jackson. Might as well have Air Force 1 land on Interstate 65.

 

It's so he can take all the credit if Moore wins, and say, "well I never campaigned for him" if Moore loses. He's already 0 for 1 in Alabama endorsements. Doesn't want another swinging strike.

 

Issuing "corrections" is not enough. The media needs to start being honest with us about how these mistakes keep happening.

How many times were these sources used previously? Will you continue to use these people as sources after this?

Is that what happened here? Did these “multiple sources” who fed not just CNN but also MSNBC and CBS completely false information do so deliberately and in bad faith? Until these news outlets provide an accounting of what happened – what one might call “minimal journalistic transparency” – it’s impossible to say for certain. But right now, it’s very difficult to imagine a scenario where multiple sources all fed the wrong date to multiple media outlets innocently and in good faith.

If this were, in fact, a deliberate attempt to cause a false and highly inflammatory story to be reported, then these media outlets have an obligation to expose who the culprits are – just as the Washington Post did last week to the woman making false claims about Roy Moore (it was much easier in that case because the source they exposed was a nobody-in-DC, rather than someone on whom they rely for a steady stream of stories, the way CNN and MSNBC rely on Democratic members of the Intelligence Committee). By contrast, if this were just an innocent mistake, then these media outlets should explain how such an implausible sequence of events could possibly have happened.

Thus far, these media corporations are doing the opposite of what journalists ought to do: rather than informing the public about what happened and providing minimal transparency and accountability for themselves and the high-level officials who caused this to happen, they are hiding behind meaningless, obfuscating statements crafted by PR executives and lawyers.

How can journalists and news outlets so flamboyantly act offended when they’re attacked as being “Fake News” when this is the conduct behind which they hide when they get caught disseminating incredibly consequential false stories?

The U.S. Media Yesterday Suffered its Most Humiliating Debacle in Ages: Now Refuses All Transparency Over What Happened

 

Yeah. Considering his dancing around the edges is over and he’s flat-out endorsing a sexual predator. And attacking Moore’s victims. Much like he attacks his own.

 

I'll continue to point out that you're a Rush Limbaugh listener who is concerned about mistakes in the media.

What's the real unemployment rate these days?

 

I prefer the way the national media has handled it.

We went to the Waffle House AND that town that the town in To Kill a Mockingbird was based.
