    Opinion: When Will Reporters Stand Up To Donald Trump?

    Good luck with that.

    The news media, comedians, talk show hosts, losers on internet forums, etc wouldn't know what to do if NPD Trump, minus his legal issues, were to turn into a thoughtful and sincerely concerned (in a logical way) candidate for POTUS.

    What I would give to see NPD Trumps forced to sit through a serious interview where he was not allowed to give spin answers and was not allowed to leave early.*

    I sincerely hope that NPD Trump takes the stand, esp in the documents, and Jan 06, trials, and has a massive A Few Good Men meltdown.



    *CBS used to play the short clip of Leslie Stahl asking "Is he coming back?." She sounds like a clueless shit-for-brains.

    I wonder if Bob Woodward has made any comments about the new TWP?

    IMHO, it's already changed...which is why I let my subscription lapse.

    A link in the above story gives deeper look at Will Lewis*:

    Post publisher draws more scrutiny after newsroom shake-up

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/styl...r-draws-more-scrutiny-after-newsroom-shakeup/

    I don't think many of us in the US quite grasp the depth of the Murdoch phone hacking scandal in the UK. Which means Will Lewis' ties to Murdoch & the scandal aren't really understood or appreciated, in the negative sense.

    * The story showed for me...this time...but might be behind a paywall.

    But hey, I'm glad they're staying out of it...there's enough muddying the waters.

    Article won't open.
    I won't download the app.

    If FB is keeping a lid on magaspin sites, that works for me ;).

    Just as long as it's allowing liberal brainwashing sites :eek: :D.

    To me, SSDD It's all a circus and the media is rarely right.

    My question is this...what kind of values should they have, or just go after the $$$.
    So much for your reps, going /gone

    It’s called investigative journalism for a reason.
    Real news shouldn’t be like the tabloids.

    Rant alert.

    I'm currently watching Scripps News (on free antenna TV), they're covering NPD Trump's "news conference" held at his private golf club in LA, CA.

    Scripp's deserves credit for not staying with the news conference. They've shown a few live bits, & cut away when it became apparent he has nothing news worthy to say. The anchors have actually said (paraphrased a bit), "Don't worry about missing anything important, we're recording the conference and can show it."

    This ties into my disgust with the mainstream news media (MNM) for not showing that NPD Trump talks for hours without saying anything important while having numerous mental lapses.

    If it were Biden speaking as an active candidate the MNM would tear him to shreads.

    The MNM needs to quit giving NPD Trump passes because his screw-ups don't fit in 10 second soundbite.

    The Dems need a well funded PAC that would go after NPD Trump in nasty yet truthful ways. Fight fire with fire, the ammunition is there in ample supply. The MNM sure as hell isn't reporting on the real NPD Trump.
