    Indeed, banning the media from criticizing the President is probably the only way to preserve our freedom.

    We are at the point where even Fox regularly criticizes the President.

    Leftism is spreading like gangrene.

    The White House should just ban Acosta from the WH press pool.

    Even the other reporters were rolling their eyes at the idiot.

    The best way for Trump to get its message across would be to create its own television channel dedicated exclusively to its achievements.

    Like Hugo Chavez did.

    The media mocks any group or person that opposes the progressive/socialist agenda to change America ... Boy Scouts, Christians, etc. the list is endless.

    The media tries to destroy conservatives like Ted Cruz while celebrating looks like Zbernie Sanders.

    The media takes the leftist side on every issue, seeking to remake America because they abhor the fact that we are historically not collectivists.

    Not just Acosta, all the other leftists too.

    Sanders should receive questions in advance and answer only those that present the President in a positive light.

    Those are your words, not mine. And bald faced LYING is not "criticizing". Maybe you should buy a dictionary.

    Trump lies every day, and you still worship him.

    The media took the side supporting Obamacare. They took the side that expanded government’s control over our medical system. That control was taken from doctors and patients, then given to the government bureaucracy.

    Government seizing control over large sectors of the economy is not what America is all about. It goes against our history, tradition, and culture. Yet the media was there, cheering on Obama as more of our freedoms were taken away.

    The media always takes the position that will do the most change and damage to America.

    Trump does not lie every day, and nobody worships him.

    Do you enjoy just making up little dumb posts?

    Name a day on which you don't think Trump lied. Then we'll check it out.

    There might be one; who knows? But since he is AVERAGING 7.5 lies a day, according to the Fact Checker, I wouldn't bet on it.

    Well that certainly doesn't sound like a partisan hack at all.

    Wouldn't you agree @goofball ?

    Is the fact that the president averages 7.5 lies a day a partisan claim? No. It's based on the Post's Fact Checker.

    If that's the average, that means that on most days he tells multiple lies. That's not partisan; that's math.

    I'm sure there are a few days here and there with no lies recorded by the Fact Checker. But I'm guessing a little research would turn up a lie on at least some of those days, too; the Fact Checker is not omniscient.

    So what part of that is partisan?

    Except for the people who go to his rallies.

    And who take the opportunity to intimidate journalists covering the cult.

    The fact you actually believe someone could account for every single day in the life of someone and pretend they could come up with a realistic average on how often they lie.

    For God's sake rayti that's as partisan hackery as it gets.

    Where is the data sheet rayti? Where are the specific lies listed out by date and time? How much longer are you going to embarrass yourself with this?

    Has CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBS ever said President Trump isn't a traitor or enemy of the people?

    Um, Trump is president. He gives speeches every day. Moreover, he tweets multiple times a day. It's all public. It gets reported on.

    The Fact Checker number is not some sort of estimate: it's a count of every claim of Trump's they've rated false or misleading since his presidency began.

    So I'm not sure why you think the number is made-up or partisan or pretend. It's documented. Indeed, as I said, the true number is undoubtedly higher because Fact Checker isn't omniscient; they surely missed some.

    Have they ever called him a traitor or an enemy of the people?

    Um, no he doesn't and I challenge you to prove that BS claim on top of so many others you have made up.

    Exactly. By whom?

    Then give us the data. Give us what they are calling lies. Your partisanship is so blind you just accept what some far left fact checker states without seeing any of the data. That is the definition of partisan hack.

    I already said: The Washington Post's Fact Checker column.

    You're funny. Calling the WashPo "far left" because you don't like their data.

    Here's the data:
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/grap...atabase/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ef6c270de231

    You can break it out by day or month. I wish that clicking on a day would link to the claims from that day, but that's not available. The searchable list of claims is below the graphic.

    If you sort by day, you can see that indeed, there is an occasional day here and there with zero false or misleading claims. But they're few and far between. And because, as I've said, Fact Checker is not omniscient, it would be interesting to see if there were lies told that day that the Fact Check just missed.

    This may surprise you, but that's not actually a meaningful rebuttal. In fact, it looks a lot like a cop-out.

    One of the most far left papers in the couintry that has made multiple fake news stories that have been proven and owned by an arch nemesis of Trump. Well they sound trustworthy don't they. To a partisan hack of course.

    No I call them far left because of their record of fake stories about Trump and who owns them.

    I just went thought it looking for only one day. Christmas. Its never listed blowing away your BS claim that there is proof he lies every day. Nor do they ever prove intent which is the definition of a lie.

    Jesus Chgrist Raytri did you even read it?

    Obamacare has been a totally disastrous situation.

    That's an opinion that a case can be made either way. This is what your far left friends claim is a lie. This is exactly why they are partisan hacks and you support them.


    How about another?

    “African American, Hispanic, and Asian American unemployment has reached the lowest levels ever recorded in our country's history -- the lowest levels. Unemployment -- lowest level.”

    FACT CHECK:
    Unemployment has been steadily declining since its peak in 2010. Moreover, Trump now uses data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment rate to say this, which is a flip-flop from his previous claims dismissing the BLS unemployment rate as "nonsense."


    They never deny it IS at the lowest level.

    It is painfully obvous you never bothered to read this idiocy yourself if you are going to claim they are all lies when they don't even deny what he said is true.

    So just as I said you made it up that there is proof he lies every day. Finally you admit it. But they're few and far between.

    You have to prove intent for it to be a lie and never do they do that.

    But I'm not a bit surprised you blindly accept their opinion as fact without thinking about it first.

    I can keep going with the fake claims of lying they made if you like. Its painfully clear you didn't read a word of that "data"


    Heck let's keep going!


    “Collusion is not a crime, but that doesn’t matter because there was No Collusion (except by Crooked Hillary and the Democrats)!”

    FACT CHECK:
    Trump long maintained there was no collusion, but now he claims collusion is not even a crime. He's playing games with words. Conspiracy to defraud the government is certainly a crime. No evidence has emerged of any collusion between the Democrats and Russia, whereas evidence has emerged of many contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian-linked individuals.


    He is right. Collusion is NOT a crime and conspiracy is not synonymous with collusion in the law. That's why they are different words with different meanings :)

    This is why your partisan hack friends are a bunch of bald faced liars and certainly not trustworthy in news.


    And here's the kicker Raytri, not even your friends at the washingtoncompost dont call them lies. Only you did that. They were smart enough to never use that phrase because they could never prove any were lies.
