    Flynn? How do the story developments not warrant Watergate-level coverage??

    Tik Tok? This Chinese app was "disassembled" and shown to spy on the user, collecting all of their data, and modifying their Twitter/Instagram follows, adjusting the algorithms of what is "interesting" to the user. The Tik Tok developer already "adjusted" its collection algorithm once in response to publication of this information.

    The media has always been biased. There was a time when it didn't matter, that there was still journalistic integrity and facts were facts, important stories were published anyway. Now, a news story doesn't even see the light of the day unless it can be spun and twisted into a diatribe against their enemy. Anything that could be positive for their enemy is ignored.

    Enemy of the people, sowing discord, hate, and painting 40% of the country that supports your enemy as inhuman.

    It used to not matter because there was also time to debunk, or rebut what was said.
    Now it's kinda like a shotgun hit and run.
    They can throw out any outrageous thing they want on multiple platforms, and it will spread like wildfire if it hits the anger or outrage buttons. Then move on to the next outrage, and there's no chance to "fix" what was already said. Even when they have to retract, no one notices since it's buried in the sea of other sewage spewing forth.

    Gregg Jarrett: Christopher Steele's secret source for anti-Trump dossier is finally exposed

    Yes, this is from Fox News, one of many sources of information I peruse. It's hard to collect verification from LEFT "news" sources when they refuse to practice journalistic integrity for fear of self-embarrassment. As usual, it's either crickets, or claims that this story is unimportant, on the Left.

    And reiterating, if Clinton had won, all of this would never have come to light. And if Trump loses before the end of the thread is found, it will again be buried so deep nobody will find it again.

    There's been no coverage of the riots going on in Portland. Nadler today called it a "myth." There is burning, fireworks, and attempts to damage the federal building there. But as long as the media for the gullible doesn't report it, it will remain a myth.

    When the Left "news" sources refuse to air anything in opposition to the tripe they are serving, including body cam footage proving the lie, it ends up being a myth for about half of the country since there is no piercing their silo.

    Trump must be speaking Russian when he speaks to you guys. I listen to him lie and misinform about things with my own ears.... I don't need it regurgitated by CNN. Fact checking his lies proves he is lying.... and not speaking truthfully and knowledgeably about things.
    Between that and the conservative right attack on our nation's teachers..... I'm done here.
    "Trump has now made more than 20,000 misleading or false statements according to the Washington Post. It's a fool's errand to enter the ring with someone who can't follow the rules or the truth. Biden will undoubtedly take heat from Republicans and the media for skipping the debates. But it's worth the risk as trying to debate someone incapable of telling the truth is an impossible contest to win."

    When Obama was telling us that we could keep our doctor and our health plan, where was the Washington Post? When he told us that health care premiums would drop $2500 where was the Wash. Post. When he told us that we could watch the debate on the health care plan on C span where was the Wash. post. When he told us Bowe Bergdhal served with "distinction" where was the Washington Post. When we were told that the attack on Benghazi was because of an internet video, where was the Washington Post. I could go on and on. The media has been lying about Trump since the day he took office and it takes a special kind of stupid to buy their Pulitzer Prize winning efforts. From Hillary is going to win in a landslide, to the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to Mueller is going to perp walk Trump it's been all lies. The fact that anyone can take anything that the Washington Post says about Trump is incredible, a special kind of gullible.

    Don't get me started on teachers. We're seeing the products of our educational system displaying their talents on the streets of Portland, Seattle, MSP and others. When compared to students of other countries we're pathetic ranking in one study 24th in science and 38th in math. Tech companies in the Silicon Valley look to Asia for well educated skilled employees. Meanwhile our schools that should be turning out good citizens, educated in fundamentals and knowing about our history and government are producing American hating ignorant banshees. Instead of learning about how our government was formed and operates, they're learning about alternative lifestyles and climate change. They're brain-washed anarchists who display the failure of American education with startling clarity.
