And this is exactly why fake news and enemy of the people is thing.

Instead of people calling it out, it’s perpetuated by people with an agenda.

Like you......................,keep apologizing for the asswipe.

Remove trump, and insert other political stories

Here in Virginia, Justin Fairfax had a story of rape in college and sexual assault at a convention. The Washington Post had the story and didn’t run it? Why? They ran countless stories against Kavenaugh which were not second sourced.

When Beto ran against Cruz in Texas. Reuter’s has this story: https://www.reuters.com/investigates...-beto-orourke/
The reporter held the story during the election until after in fear it would hurt Beto’s chances.

Here is the NYT explaining their refusal of the Tara reade coverage:

Do you remember how the Jussie Smollet case was handled by the media initially?

What about the Adam Sandman story? How was that handled by the media? To the point they ran corrections later and Sandman has settled a multi million dollar lawsuit against CNN.

I don’t need to cherry pick, the media doesn’t have a lot of credibility not just with trump, but a litany of stories.

Dude you can draw exceptions or point out the fact that nobody is perfect etc etc but this guy takes the fuckin cake AND he is the potus which makes it worse. Also the story about Beto sounds like i got nothing else to write about story. But what is ur point that suddenly Reuters should be trusted when anything they print about trump is fake? ? Lol. Look man everyone ever in the spotlight said or did something the masses would think of as outrageous. Its called news. Either way the current potus has said and done so many things in the public eye that nothing ever before comes close. Again the right has a problem with biden because he gets shit wrong. Details wrong. Ok. But for God’s sake Trump lies every time he opens his mouth. He is a walking contradiction. Words matter man especially when they are from the president. Nobody hated Trump four years ago. Lol. The left doesn’t hate him because he is a republican. Nobody on the left hated bush or reagan to this extent. They knew how to play the game. We hate trump because of his actions not because he is Trump. It isn’t a game of get Trump at all cost. If it were you would have seen this before. The guy brings this shit on himself and the whole oh thats just him thing got old like in 2016. You want your conservative agenda catered too cool. Dont need some childish divisive egomaniacal dog whistling racist to do that. It actually only gets in the way of your agenda. If some newbie comes on the warpath spouting absurdity there is a communal uprising. Why is it ok to spout them to the world? Lolol.
End rant. Enjoy weekend not that it is any different than the rest of the week anymore. I always thought that would be awesome but it isnt.

Just cannot get over the fact that The POTUS asked if we could somehow inject disinfectant into our skin yesterday and we have all internalized it already. Some even accepting it. What in the actual hell?
In normal times this would be a story for months but this mental midget will top it in 3...2...

He wants credit and commission from it.................

[Giantone]

I have said this from the start of all this trump did not cuase this thing and I think many a President would have had trouble in trying to deal with this virus.

His response to it has been pathetic and no one should be surprised at this, to me there is a big difference between cause and responsibility.............

What's wrong? A small local basketball team in LA needed money and got it. The program is working as intended.

[Giantone]

Same here....................



https://www.miamiherald.com/news/cor...242225176.html



The homeowners’ association for Fisher Island, an exclusive enclave near Miami that recently bought enough COVID-19 antibody tests for all of its residents and workers, has been approved for a $2 million loan through a federal program intended to help small businesses survive the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, according to an email the association sent Wednesday, the association is taking a straw poll of residents on whether to accept the payout.

“It is very important to the board of Directors to take into consideration the views of our members,” the email said. “It is also important to the board that the right decision is made for the island.”

It wasn’t immediately clear how the Fisher Island Community Association — the master homeowners’ group for the wealthiest ZIP code in the United States — would plan to use the money.



...........................as I understand it they have returned it but why even apply?

What's your point? The fact they applied for assistance, or they got it?

But the alarms appear to have failed to register with the president, who routinely skips reading the PDB and has at times shown little patience for even the oral summary he takes two or three times per week, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified material.

In response, a White House spokesman had this to say:

Or to paraphrase, Hogan Gidley said "PROPAGANDA"
