    It will be even funnier when dems go down AGAIN in Nov, 2018 because you have no shame or skepticism about what the media tells you. It's pathetic.

    Actually I think your instincts about the new organization were the same as mine

    We both expect it to be a one-sided attack on the conservative media you listed

    Thats an improvement

    The standard liberal smear against conservatives is that limbaugh tells his listeners what to believe

    So you have unwittingly discoved an acorn

    Why is it when the left begins a sentence with "No one is trying to" most intelligent people instinctively go on the defensive! Seems there is a century old deep-seated credibility and honesty issue at play here..

    Your welcome ...
    Just a thank you for the renewed laugh you gave me about Trump and his followers.

    You know, I'm not a fan of Merkel, but this woman puts Trump in her pocket 3 times and lets him starve if she wants ... have to learn quite other and much heavier political weights than Trump.

    What a laughable resonse! Since when have the purveyors of right wing vitriol ever been concerned with facts????

    Fox News and rigth wing talk radio support an entire cottage industry of fact checkers devoted to unravelling the web of lies, fake news, and idiotic claims taht permeate right wing media, and have for years.

    I have been following politics for over 50 years. I am confident in my media sources, because they are the ones who turn out to have gotten it right in the long run.

    You can't even begin to say that about clowns like Limbaugh or Hammity.

    Not that he does not try. He is a purveyor of right wing spin, and his editors attend Grover Nordquist Wednesday morning breakfast meetings, at which conservative media folks gather to hone their message.

    But talk radio doesn't actually work that way.

    Talk radio is entertainment, not information. It's audience is not well informed, and accepts the idea, heavily promoted by the presenters, that they are becoming informed by listening to the host lead the uninformed in a discussion where each caller reinforces the prejudices of the audience, usually without any factual evidence.

    The talk radio host's tools are the seven second delay, and the fact that their producer has a screen full of incoming calls, all identified by what the caller wants to say.

    In this way, the talker has an ongoing instantaneous review of how well his line of patter or his talking points are being recieved by the audience, and can make adjustments on the fly.

    The important thing is not to bore the audience, confuse them with a lot of detail or fact, and not to offend them. If offending is necessary, it's always best to focus it on an imaginary "other". That makes for great radio

    Journalism, integrity, facts and being informed do not enter into the equation.

    It's all about selling.

    Again, why do you listen to limbaough if he disturbs you so much?

    Maybe its the fact that so many Americans refuse to accept the liberal spin that 90% of the media puts out

    You want everyone to think alike

    I'm sorry, did you actually have a point here? The first post is from the OP, not me. The second is questioning how a fact can be "fluid", meaning it could change, and the third......seriously, I have no idea what you're trying to say.

    Well, if you had read the whole thread you would have known that I already gave an example to back up my claim so your "I know you are but what am I" defense falls flat.

    Speaking of Witch,that explains how CNN and MSNBC operate.
    As if their Hosts are diehard journalist.But then just so happen to
    spend most if not all their time on castigating via personal opinions.
    Which is literally how Laurence O'Donnell operates.
    Then ya got yer Joy Reid types..Currently in a whole lot of hot water.
    Formerly a political columnist for the Miami Herald.A very left-leaning
    newspaper.That got the attention of Super left-leaning MSNBC where
    Reid has been up to her eyeballs in causing trouble for any and all that
    don't ascribe to her leftist leaning.
    She's Been found out.Turns out her old blog site { The Reid Report }
    which she posted blogs and were thought to have been deleted over
    the years were raised from the dead by a Twitter nerd using an
    Internet archiving service { Wayback Machine } and then reported to
    Mediaite months ago.Reid made an apology in December of 2017
    admitting she made the Homophobic slurs.One involved trying to
    tarnish and suggest Charlie Crist was Gay.Also from the years
    2007-2009 about a dozen remarks " highly offensive to the LGBTQ community."
    Reid as of the yesterday is now caught in a corner.She is attempting to
    use the old " her account got hacked " routine.That her posts were accessed and
    manipulated at her defunct blog.That her defunct blog was hacked and
    controversial content was added.
    Typical Leftist bullcrap.I can think of no finer example of
    What Goes Around Comes Around.
    Reid prided herself on taking other's statements and twisting into
    whatever troublemaking she could muster.I don't know how many
    times she was on MSNBC lying like a pirate about another.Very many
    examples of her pulling that crap.
    Well,her own tactic ended up nailing her,butt good.Her own words are
    now her biggest enemy.

    Do you realize that you just insulted a majority of Americans.
    Talk Radio is literally Dominated by Conservatives.Because this
    Country IS a majority of Conservatives.Talk Radio and Fox News
    is the Proof.Ratings and viewership don't lie.
    Liberals Lie.And Cheat.And make up crap.Like what Joy Reid
    of MSNBC is now relegated to.Plus leftists like her also are
    given special Poetic License to lie and make ridiculous crude
    comments.Like Ed Schultz calling Laura Ingraham a " right-wing Slut ".
    Thankfully Martin Bashir was not allowed that special poetic license.His
    super crude comments directed at Sarah Palin got him fired ... butt good.
    Never to be heard or seen again.
    That won't happen to Joy Reid.Because she's Black and a huge
    troublemaker.She'd probably write a Tell-all book aimed at MSNBC
    and what she really knows about that cable outlet's shenanigans.
    However keep an eye out for how MSNBC plays this Reid dramatic
    turn of events.I think they will attempt to wait it out and see what develops.
    But if the Reid story { outing } picks up momentum { already has } then
    MSNBC will first issue some statement about an extended leave.
    This also puts MSNBC in a box.They know full well how difficult it would
    be to fire her.Not a piece of cake like Keith Olbermann or Cenk Uygur.
    Fire her and then Al Sharpton will make a move.

    Are you referring to this:
    "(Muslum immigrants raped a HS girl)."?

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...u-are-on-notice.531220/page-5#post-1068982045

    If so, that's kind-of a cheap shot; isn't it?

    Is it reasonable to expect readers to remember every single sentence in a fourteen page thread?

    Regardless, I believe that, at that time, that was the claim being made by the female subject. Fox merely enthusiastically ran with the story. They apparently wanted it to be true, thus they factually reported her claim without doing due diligence.

    That is something which is all too common with all news outlets.

    The lengths to which The Following goes to try to disparage the messenger because they can't disparage the message about Don is now way past embarrassing.

    I almost never do. After all, you only have to listen to about ten or fifteen minutes of his program at any given time to hear the theme of the day, which will be repeated ad nauseum to the audience, repeated back to the host by the audience and reinforced by more repetition by the host.

    Limbaugh is not alone in that. It's the standard format of talk radio.

    And it generally only takes about that long before Lumbaugh says something completely idiotic, outrageous or false.

    But his audience, comforted in the conformation bias bubble that surround nearly all of right wing talk radio, never notice.

    They will certainly never punish the host for lying to them. If they did, Limbaugh would be spinning the oldies in Cape Gidreau.

    That is laughable at best. Most of the supposed facts I get from leftist are at best tangentially related to the matter being discussed, and as often as not don't even come close to proving there assertions


    What? You have to be kidding there isn't any circumstantial evidence there never has been regarding Trump. You've got some evidence for inexperience in national elections but no more than that.
