    The media is out to get us is a Republican claim as old as I am. Older, probably. It doesn't same the same comedy gold potential as the new "FBI is leftist hotbed" idea.

    Have you checked with melock to see if he's found the answer to your burning question?

    I agree, let's be totally transparent. Full review, people fired, etc.

    How is the internal investigation about the Seth Rich/Fox News story going, btw? Will you be demanded answers and wanting Hannity suspended? How about when Fox said prior to the election that Hillary was going to be indicted, according to sources?

    Let's get some transparency up in this MFer!

    FBI leadership.

    As opposed to the New York office of the FBI, which was busy throwing the election to Trump.

    And he went here. The Dan Quayle-Lloyd Bentsen veep debate comes to mind:

    Real question. Is it worse when the President says something untrue or if the media screws up? Do Presidents get a pass because they should make the best case possible to support their actions?
    Is it worse for major news orgs because they are undermining their integrity/product?
    If integrity isn't really part of your "brand" - does it matter?

    I'm all for it. Seriously.

    Hannity is an extreme partisan, a hack, and easily mislead.

    Sadly, the same can be said for many others in the media.

    You can't keep blaming your mistakes on unnamed sources, and then continue to use unnamed sources, without giving us any info about them, including their previous track record.

    And, when they do get it wrong, we are owed an explanation, not simply a correction. And, truth be told, both the CNN story and the Brian Ross story deserved retractions, not corrections. You correct a story when you have a detail wrong -- a name, a title, etc.

    If the entire premise of your story is undone by your correction, it wasn't a story to begin with, and needs to be retracted.

    Seth Abramson is another crackpot. The FBI is an organization of mostly middle-aged white cops. No big shock most of them are Republicans. The current director and the last two directors are Republicans as well.

    Again, if what you say STILL exists, how you account for Obama?

    In addition, Hispanic unemployment at all-time low under Trump

    Hispanic employment at all time low? I thought this was a whites only economy?

    So you can’t answer my questions but you think I should answer yours *and* you think you can make up things I never said and attribute them to me, along with not being able to stick to your own arguments?

    Not worth my time.
