    So I assume that you are also against it when it is people on the left doing it? Or do you have an INSANE double standard?

    He wasn't a plumber, which I think is a pretty relevant thing in regard to whether he was telling the truth in the whole story.

    This is the best you could do?

    (Just as a thing didn't you people cringe a even a little at the whole "Joe da Plumber" name?)

    Right wingers must have their lies constantly reinforced or they begin to doubt

    Truth speaks for itself to leftists.

    Why did the country need to know that a random plumber isn't telling the truth?

    What do you mean, "as a thing?"

    It just seemed directed at people who are gullible. People don't call themselves Joe the Plumber any more than Will the Software Engineer, we don't live in Medieval villages anymore.

    Why did the country need to know whether the content of what a random plumber was saying was true?

    What makes you think he called himself that? My understanding is that it was John Mcain who referred to him as Joe the Plumber.

    I am certainly against ANYONE doing something so dishonest and corrupt. When people of left or right political leaning do so they must be called out and reprimanded. The tactic is far more common on the Trumpist side however and is actually one of his standard practices. What I find most upsetting is when these "Inaccuracies" are undeniable or even on video or transcript but are denied or termed "Fake News" by his minions anyway. Claiming fake news by creating fake news is the most INSANE double standard I can imagine.

    From the op

    A loose network of conservative operatives allied with the White House is pursuing what they say will be an aggressive operation to discredit news organizations deemed hostile to President Trump by publicizing damaging information about journalists.

    If they are private citizens they have every right to support president trump and expose the dirty laundry of the lib media

    Yes, if they don't want to become Americans and support our allies, by all means get the hell out. Many people born here want to turn this nation into something it wasn't meant to be.

    Journalists are supposed to report the news, not be part of a political party"s propaganda machine. Journalism is dying.

    I wish to remind you of the thread topic:
    "Trump Allies Target Journalists Over Coverage Deemed Hostile to White House"
    And also point out that you are currently doing much the same, if inadvertently.
