    It was actually a Democratic thing, and that hasn't changed.
    You want to make Europe great again? Trump is in the process of Making America Great Again as you can see by the economy and consumer confidence, just two of many benefits.

    Yes. The NYT is pond scum.

    WAG THE DOG: New York Times: Our Insane Twitter Antifa Fanbase Demanded That We Include Spurious Charges of Racism In Our Already-Slanderous Story About the Tea Party, So We Dutifully Rewrote The Story to Please Them.

    Even in 2019, The Left Can’t Stop Lying About The Tea Party.

    Loving the United States involves telling people born here to "go back where they came from "?

    They are digging up "dirt" on opposition journalists. NOT answering or refuting their arguments (because they can't) but attacking the journalists themselves in rather obvious ad hominem attacks.

    You don't have to break into the oppositions newspapers and smash their machinery to throttle the press. That, along with arresting the journalists instead of just calumniating them, comes later.

    Ask Putin.

    Did I say that there were more blacks than whites on welfare?

    Are you saying that keeping them reliant on welfare is giving them respect? Also, I'll say it again, other than keeping them reliant on welfare, there is nothing that blacks get from Democrats that they don't get from Republicans. Unless you can name something, which you weren't able to do in your last reply! VERY telling!

    The NYT generally try to refute a journalist's content. The only time I've seen them attack a reputation is when the journalist has some question as to whether he tells the truth. These guys are trying to find out if people cheat on their wives.

    No, I'm asking who is on the government payroll that is doing THIS? (as in the people in the story which this thread is about!)

    They can't refute the message so they attack the messenger.

    Over and over we see this. "We need to find the leak!" not "no one said/did that". Didn't Trump himself say that he'd have a more accessible and open administration or was he referring to only for foreign dictators having more access and open doors?

    That is of course your opinion and not evidenced, regardless it would be no reason to condone blackmail or even angry attack tactics....Hell, FOX news would be instantly decimated.

    I'm sure that they could, but they don't need to, that's not the role that they have chosen in this fight!
    The conservative journalists and commentators are MORE than capable of refuting the mainstream media's messages! :roflol:

    What are you referring to?

    So then why did you even mention fascism in this thread? Perhaps you posted in the wrong thread? Remember, this was your first post in the thread:

    :confuse: Hmmm ... all the extreme leftist cable news outlets ratings have sharply declined ... while FOX news ratings have risen sharply. :lol: FOX has spent nearly 2 decades at the #1 spot in every time slot. Leftists wouldn't recognize mainstream America if it bit them.

    So then you must also agree with this:

    The far left opinion and social media sites have been falsifying for years. They are mad that their fake news and propaganda fall flat with mainstream America. Or do you have an INSANE double standard?
