I don’t know and I don’t give a shite

Taking your OP at face value, if you think that CNN misrepresenting Trump and/or John Legend is going to drive me to the right you’re delusional.

To put it another way, that Harvey Updyke poisoned the Toomers Trees did not suddenly make me an Alabama fan out of sympathy.

John Legend is indirectly criticizing the leftists who call others Nazis by dehumanizing them. he just doesn't realize it

I never said don’t talk about it, but when literally everything y’all talk about comes back to the media the impression i get is that battling the media is all y’all are about. Believe it or not there are other things going on in the world.

What makes it even more ridiculous is that y’all also don’t hold conservative or alternative media outlets to the same standard you do the liberal ones.

It is up there.

I’d like to see him throw them some more bait to watch them go stupid on. Perhaps call the nazi concentration camp guards animals just to watch the media defend them.

I just ran a search to see what was actually said and this is what I found

LINK

quote:

Several news organizations took remarks President Donald Trump made Wednesday out of context to suggest he was referring to undocumented immigrants at large as "animals," when in context it appears the President was likely referring to members of a violent gang. The comment in question happened at a White House roundtable discussion on the subject of immigration and so-called "sanctuary cities." Complaining at the roundtable about confusion between different levels of law enforcement, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims brought up the violent gang Mara Salvatrucha, better known as MS-13.


Is that a fair representation in your opinion?

what standard would that be, the truth?

Did the MSM all of a sudden stop lying? Is that why we should not focus on these corrupt F's anymore?

this thread asked a very specific question about a very specific example

your response was focused on things not related at all to the OP

you say you don't give a shite. that's fine. but if you don't give a shite, you wouldn't post about it (and you have)

you say it won't drive you to the right. that's fine, too. nobody was trying to do so with this thread

yes, some outlets/personalities walked back the story when it blew up in their faces. i covered that in OP

quote:

the AP has retracted its comments (others may have, i'm not sure)


however, others walked it back to admit they were lying only to end up defending MS13, which is a bold strategy for sure

It's close, but in my mind the media constantly using unnamed sources and "people close to the situation" stories are worse

Even after these unnamed sources and "people" prove to be incorrect, the media still states them as fact.

I was eligible to vote in 1978 and have done so consistently since then. I thought the Reagan era media was horrible then. With the advent of 24 hour news cycle these guys are dangerous

Trump needs to call a group that liberals universally hate “animals” just for the lulz at this point.

Do you still want to do a podcast interview of him over the phone?

Drac Sanc, post your junk email so SFP can call you today to do an interview. So we can hear what you really are thinking... because you sound butthurt that the media got busted for a change, and somehow you seem unable to see the media bias is now outright lying.
