Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe problem with arguing that the "liberal" media is bad is that the stories which are reported - by and large - turn out to be factually accurate, at least when it comes to the important stuff. By nature however, people are more comfortable with a news outlet or other speaker that parrots back to them their political views. That is why Trump is so successful - he parrots back to his racist xenophobic base what they want to hear.

CNN has officially clarified its reporting suggesting that President Donald Trump had referred to undocumented immigrants as “animals.”
In a Thursday piece, media reporter Oliver Darcy conceded that CNN — like many other news organizations, including the New York Times and the Associated Press — had taken Trump’s remarks “out of context” and that the president had only been referring to members of the violent MS-13 gang, many of whom come from Central America, and not to all immigrants in the U.S. without proper documentation. “Other outlets did not directly accuse the President of calling immigrants ‘animals,’ but failed to include in tweets the entire context for Trump’s remark. Those outlets included CNN, CBS News, and NBC News,” wrote Darcy.

Our resident Russian Asset is reading right from the Russian propaganda playbook:
- Distract and deflect from the facts you are trying to suppress
- Attack the credibility of any media outlet trying to publish the truth and accuse them of bias
I might agree that many media sources are left-leaning, but most have some degree of journalistic integrity and will publish retractions when they make a mistake. WaPo and NYT were viciously attacked by the Nixon administration during Watergate but were ultimately vindicated. A culture of integrity still prevails at those organizations, despite what Trump and his cronies say.
Facts are facts. They don't care about the political leanings of the person who discovers and reports them.

Integrity? Yep. 1000%.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostStill trying to find an investigative article about 2 highest-ranked FBI agents deciding to investigate a sitting President based upon zero evidence. And then as a precursor to the results of that investigation, decide how to have the same President removed from office.
Integrity? Yep. 1000%.
Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe briefed the "Gang of Eight" -- top congressional leaders from both parties who review classified matters -- and they didn't object to the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into President Trump.
But I suppose we should believe you instead of a bipartisan congressional committee.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostZero evidence? When the sitting president fires the FBI director and states on a national television broadcast that it was because of the Russia investigation, that constitutes probable cause for an investigation.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostMaybe get your timeline correct? That briefing was only done AFTER the investigation was already opened. And the President never stated the reason for firing Comey was due to the Russia investigation. Point proven about left-leaning news. Facts are secondary.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSo we should listen to an anonymous internet troll with a pro-Russian agenda over Department of Justice officials who have seen the classified evidence. Got it.
The significance of that can't be overstated. Two of the loudest pro-Trump voices refused to stand in the way of a counterintelligence investigation against Trump after seeing the evidence. Mueller's leakproof team knows a lot that the public doesn't.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI actually think McConnell is praying for Trump to self destruct in spectacular fashion. If the evidence is so overwhelming the GOP won't have to take Congressional action against Trump. Just Get Trump to resign without complications and the GOP doesn't look like the bad guy
