| We only tell little lies! |
Three years after Kellyanne Conway introduced the doctrine of “alternative facts” on his own program, a light went on for Chuck Todd. Republican strategy, he now realized, was to make stuff up, spread it on social media, repeat it in your answers to journalists — even when you know it’s a lie with tiny crumbs of truth mixed in — and then convert whatever controversy arises into go-get-em points with the base, while pocketing for the party a juicy dividend: additional mistrust of the news media to help insulate President Trump among loyalists when his increasingly brazen actions are reported as news.
Let's be clear here folks. The biggest disinformation lie during the Trump era has been the Russian Trump conspiracy theory. You take all of the other lies, put them together, and it maybe makes up 10% of the grand lie of "collusion". People like Chuck Todd take issue with the size of the inauguration crowd as if that matters, but seemingly see no problem with falsely accusing (over and over and over) a sitting President of committing treason. Moreover, the entire conspiracy treason concept was an obvious lie. The FBI found no evidence of conspiracy. Yet the media lied. The Senate and House investigations found no evidence of conspiracy. Yet the media lied. After 22 months, the Special Counsel found no evidence of conspiracy. Yet, some in the media "still lie".
I might argue that when we look back in five or ten years that the Ukraine situation might turn out to be the next biggest lie after Russia. From the media insistence that Burisma corruption has been "debunked" (when it hasn't) to the idea that "quid pro quo" is a crime (which it's not) to the idea that Ukraine couldn't have interfered in 2016, because the Russians did (and apparently there is a limit of one regarding how many countries can interfere in an election), the media has gone down the same path that they took with the Russia Conspiracy theory. Where there is smoke, there must be fire. Where there is no smoke, there must be a cover-up. Anonymous sources can always be trusted (even over actual sources with evidence to the contrary). Hearsay evidence is just as good as or better than real evidence. Give a standing ovation to a witness that not only knew nothing, but wasn't even employed with the State Department at the time. Just keep hammering the idea that something is amiss and it must be illegal (or at least impeachable). Because the bad orange man must be brought down.
Truth be damned.

BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! I guess that follows the trump lying about the Ukraine and every single BS he has uttered the last 3 years that you swallow on, Lil Scotty.......Having all those contacts with the russians and nothing being done by trump on the current meddling lead me to the conclusion that trump is in Putins shorts and you are with him....Why do you hate your country??????
WASHINGTON (AP) — In 2008, the Newseum — a private museum dedicated to exploring modern history as told through the eyes of journalists, and the world's largest outhouse — opened on prime Washington real estate.
Sitting almost equidistant between the White House and the Capitol on Pennsylvania Avenue, the glass-walled building became instantly recognizable for its multi-story exterior rendition of the First Amendment.
Eleven years later that experiment is coming to an end. After years of financial difficulties, the Newseum will close its doors Tuesday.

DiGenova Calls Admiral Mike Rogers’ Cooperation With Durham Team the ‘Biggest Single Development’ in Case, Here’s Why
Last week, it was reported that Admiral Mike Rogers, who served as Director of the National Security Agency under President Obama, has been cooperating with U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal inquiry into the origins of the Trump/Russia collusion investigation. This was big news for two reasons.
I wrote about the first reason in a recent post, in which I called Rogers the “Unsung Hero.” He was one of the few Obama administration officials who actually had integrity, a man who noticed that something was amiss and acted. It was this man who traveled to Trump Tower on November 17, 2016, to brief then-President-elect Donald Trump that communications from the building were being tapped. He did not notify his superior, then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, beforehand.
Later that day, the Trump transition team announced they were moving their operations to a new location in New Jersey. Within days, the Washington Post reported that “James Clapper and Defense Secretary Ash Carter had recommended the removal of Mike Rogers from his NSA position.” Rogers was not fired, for obvious reasons.
The second reason predates the FBI’s application to the FISA Court for a warrant to spy on Carter Page by a couple of years, but in light of IG Horowitz’s report, this story becomes even more relevant. Rogers discovered that American citizens were being spied upon and drew attention to the abuse of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by the Obama administration. According to former U.S. Attorney Joe diGenova, Section 702 allows the government to essentially weaponize the NSA’s ability to collect data and surveil private U.S. citizens.
Used as intended, it has been a useful law enforcement tool. Abused as it had been by Obama administration officials up until Rogers’ discovery in 2014, it became a weapon. DiGenova said, “For more than four years before the election of Donald Trump, there was an illegal spying operation going on by FBI [private] contractors — four of them — to steal personal information, electronic information about Americans and to use it against the Republican Party.”

Red state and the fucking loser Paula promoting some more wishful thinking and fake news.....BWAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Hard to discern who is the dumber fuck!!!!!!

you'll always be the dumbest fuck to haunt this blog, bar none.
This is why you're fat, fat boy
Let's be clear here folks. Chuck Todd is the most respected journalist in the country.
You run an obscure blog where the Orange man can do no wrong.
Chuck Todd is the most respected journalist in the country.
That's not saying much.
Chuck Todd is a crazy hack!
Nobody with an IQ over room temperature would trust him.
You believe that Sean Hannity is a high quality character.
Nobody with an IQ over -32° temperature would trust him.

alky,
if we've reached the point in this country where this dumb fuck sporting 0linsky's mangina is our most respected journalist, then journalism is dead and we are irrevocably fucked.
and comparing him to hannity is a non sequitur. hannity himself freely admits he's not a journalist but a guy on tv & radio with an opinion and agenda.
todd's an insufferable hack.
You believe that Sean Hannity is a high quality character.
Sorry Roger... but for years I have argued the people like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or Rachel Maddow are simply entertainers rather than serious news people.
Chuck Todd (like most MSM members) has gone of the deep end. Not sure if he was ever someone I would trust very highly, much less say he is the "most trusted" news person on television. Certainly no more.
Truth be damned, says Ch.
Truth be honored and upheld, says James.
