ignorant or disingenuous? In 2009 even CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post stood up to Obama's blackballing of Fox News.

Like the AP's NFL tax break BS?
Or the AP's downplay on the economy BS?
Or the AP's heroine mayor of San Juan vs incompetent, unfeeling POTUS BS?

NFL stopped it's non-profit status over a year ago, the AP isn't downplaying the economy, and Trump has been an arse with regards to Puerto Rico.

I know you love Dear Leader: Fact.

stupid leftists

taking him literally, looking like whiny children coming up with something new to stamp their feet about every day

By all means keep it up.

Meanwhile, now Congress has to do something about the Iran deal, obamacare is being neutered, the NFL and its supporters are getting waxed in the culture war, and a big move in Palestine was made that they are too fricking ignorant to even know about.

Do you think that even compares to Trump's nonsense? He threatened to pull broadcasting licenses.

You are a total fool. You really are. The AP liars could tell you the moon is a ball of Swiss Cheese and you'd believe them.

The tax break is the ability of NFL owners to write down the value of the franchise over a 15 year period. It can approach a $100million/yr tax cut X 15yrs. In doing so, it also increases franchise value. Are you honestly claiming that tax break stopped over a year ago?

Yep the other guy sure was honest all the time. For what it's worth, I don't like Trump and having to defend him just because he's not getting a fair shake frustrates me.

It was only the headquarters that was non-profit, not the actual teams. If I had to guess, they just changed the payment structure of the teams to the head office to make sure it's still taxed at the team level.

You forgot the Iran deal. 64% of Americans said they were against it yet Obama said the deal was what Americans wanted.

The press with its current bias is the most dangerous thing on American soil at the moment.

During the Obama years they completely tore up their 'journalist' cards, and became a propaganda organ for the DEM party. The only venue for escaping their dominance of what gets spooned to the public 24/7 under the guise of "news" was FNC and the alternate sources provided by the internet.

And now you call opposing the propaganda machine an 'attack on a free press.' This identifies you squarely as an enemy of a free state.

Even you know that for the past 8 years the 'press' was not al all interested - in fact they actively suppressed - in any investigation that would reveal the fecklessness of the Obama administration. Every single thing that bastard did was either driven by incompetence or direct anti-American purposes. Not one 'investigative' undertaking by the press - and this coming after they had already looked under every rock trying to find dirt or inconsistencies on Romney or McClain, especially Palin.

If they had been remotely fair, they could have EASILY turned Obama into a household joke, a dangerous rabble-rouser, a pernicious traitor, racially divisive icon - and he actually was all of these.

Instead they are diving deep into semantics to turn Trump into a 'racist' which he clearly is as far from being racist as is possible to be.

This is the origin of the attribution = "fake news" - they are deliberately trying to manufacture false narratives and using their influent to bolster whatever image best achieves the goals of the DEMOCRAT party.

It is time they are attacked for what they are = house organ for DEMs = and for what they are NOT = honest purveyors of the NEWS.

Yeah, don't get me started on the pass Obama was given for spewing abject medical ignorance.

Pediatricians supposedly performing tonsillectomies and doing it to treat random sore throats due to greed.

Surgeons getting $30K, $40K, or $50K to lop off a foot instead of giving a patient a pill to cure him.

Etc., etc., etc.

Breathtakingly stupid stuff. The AP did not call him on any of it.

Worse then attacking free press is for the free press to willing not be free press
