this shite about the FBI missing classified docs in its review not only hurts all the proliferated narratives about the investigation itself, but these same outlets have been screaming and crying for 2-3 weeks now talking about how we have to be good bootlickers and respect the institution of the FBI without question

at what point do they throw their hands up in frustration because those they are defending make them out to appear completely idiotic. this has gone beyond partisanship, it's about simple judgments of intelligence and competency

Never.


The left will never concede that Barack Obama was just your everyday, run of the mill , crooked POS community organizer from inner city Chicago.

I've pretty much resigned myself to "never".


I think it starts with 'confirmation bias'...progresses to 'protect the one with whom I most identify'....finally landing on 'can't admit how wrong I was, so I'll just keep trying to protect MYSELF'



sad

You young guys.... It would have helped you to have lived through Communism in full bloom like we did.

The answer is NEVER obviously. If you value ideological narrative over objective truth this is the result. It's how we got Kampuchea, the gulags, state-organized famines and 5 year plans. Narrative replaces truth. I know you want it to be more complicated that that, but that's it.

About as likely as the Nazi party admitting they were wrong about the holocaust.

It's cute that you think honestly and rationality will eventually win out.

If they were going to be honest, it would have happened by now.

i didn't say that


at a certain point, these people have to have some sort of self respect/pride. you can only look like a complete moron so many times before you give up on the cause of that

On camera: Never

Off camera: Probably have been for a month or longer


There is too much at stake for them to let on that they don't believe the narrative they've been driving.

A non-democrat that is Trump or associated with Trump; could intro a scientist that announces a vaccine for cancer and the media would get cancer before they took the vaccine from someone associated with Trump.

But they don't think/realize they look like morons, and neither does their core or target audience.

wait....posters having an opinion of a behavior is the same as news media evenhandedness and honesty?


I have posted many times about the childishness that Trump exhibits from time to time. But, this is apples and watermelons comparisons.
