Liberal Media Needs to be Better to be Above Reproach

I agree with you. Trump spews a lot of hypocritical rhetoric. My guess is he does a lot of that on purpose trying to keep the masses focused on what he says instead of what he is doing. That is why I pay more attention to what he does than what he says, tweets, etc.....

 

I'd like to do the same but it's become impossible to tell when this administration is telling the truth. If they can lie about the most insignificant things on a daily basis, how do you know when they're actually telling the truth? His dumbassery last week about the reasoning behind the cancellation of his trip to London seemed logical (in terms of "yeah, I could see that as a reason. Maybe not a good one but one nonetheless") at first...until 30 seconds of research proved he was lying yet again. An administration that created the term "Alternative Facts" is ALWAYS going to NOT get the benefit of the doubt from anyone not already a hardcore supporter.

 

I'm starting to think that he doesn't actually do anything.

 

your first and only mistake was trusting a politician. know this, even when a politician tells the truth he's not telling you the whole truth which makes the omission of truth a lie.

 

I completely respect your take on this. I feel it is certainly acceptable to say, "President Trump is a bad person but I support his policies, and President Obama is a decent person but I do not support his policies. So, IMO, as I am looking out for the country first, I have to put the support of the policies above the type of person the President is."

Of course, there can be limits to that, but I can certainly understand that argument.

 

I agree, but as with everything, degrees and levels matter. President Trump's deceit is truly on another level. He deserves to be called out for this.

I was initially a Ted Cruz supporter but I have very little to complain about so far with Trump. I wish he would shut up sometimes but for the most part I am happy with what he has done. I did vote for him in the election but I cast the vote as vote against Hillary rather than a vote for Trump. All I had hoped for was he make a good conservative SCOTUS appointment who would actually interpret the constitutionality of things that come before thew court instead of legislating from the bench. I fully expected him to make a hard left turn once elected. I have been pleasantly surprised that he is actually trying to fulfill campaign promises. If I had to vote again today, I would vote for him without an issue. I still do not think he is a good person but as far as I was concerned we did not have a good person to choose from in this election. I chose what I hoped was the lesser of two evils. I get tired of the rhetoric but so far I like what he has done so that is why I concentrate more on what he does rather than what he says.

That being said, I have no issue with calling him out for being a hypocrite when he does the same things he called out Obama for.

 

It is all so confusing at times. I have had 4 Presidents that I have actively followed in my lifetime: Clinton, Trump, Bush, and Obama. I felt that 2 were reasonably decent, respectful human beings in Bush and Obama, a Republican and Democrat. I felt that 2 had serious character flaws, and one who was/is particularly obnoxious in Trump and Clinton, a Republican and Democrat. One could argue that the policies of Clinton and Trump have been more effective than those of Bush and Obama. Yet, I still have to hold the President accountable for his behavior, so I can't give ringing endorsements for either Trump or Clinton.

Fox News has become a parody at this point...

 

Our resident far left propaganda minister is working OT.

 

Hopefully this post was satirical, but I doubt it...in which case, I present you the poster child of why the press does what it does.

'The press' includes all of them. Anything else?

 

What's to deal with, exactly? Most Americans are obese, sadly. The doctor stated he should eat better and exercise more. Pretty much identical to Clinton, although Clinton achieved this warning at a much younger age. How did you deal with that, exactly? I suspect by not paying it much attention..please do correct, with links, if that was not the case.

And you saw from the included clip how the liberal media dealt with the doctor's reporting him quite healthy and sound. THAT is the story, whether you are a conservative or a liberal. Anyone who can watch that clip and not think 'have their lost their minds?'...has already lost theirs.

 

Most Americans are high school graduates who aren't anywhere close to being qualified to mansge the world's largest bureaucracy.
