Wouldn't it be unreasonable for us to expect a lunatic in the oval office, one with a serious personality disorder, one who regularly changes his mind from day to day, to get positive press coverage? And we don't want to be unreasonable, do we?

I did mention that, didn't I. Does not of course negate the fact that these particular organizations, on a relative basis, have impeccable records. Which is what I said, isn't it? (I did not check my post, because I wanted to give you a fair chance at gotcha. :D)

I didn't know, of course, that she had ever said such a thing. I must object to her characterization of herself. She is not merely a conveyor of 'straight news'. Maybe its her choice of words, maybe demeanor, but it seems to me her 'reporting' goes well beyond straight news. There is a lot of...

It is dreadful in many respects, horrible in others. No chance of passing. Trump's entire campaign from the Get-go has been 'Reagan on Steroids' right down to the slogan. But Reagan* came into office in a recession; Trump is coming in near full employment, i.e., all the robots are working. The...

I have watched her some, but I must have missed that.

This is reasonable. I'm not going to argue with it. Who is in possession of the Josephus documents? Not the Vatican, I would hope. You either put the relevant section up here once, or was it a link? never mind I googled and found it.

That IS funny.

We recognize that organizations like people are fallible, you being the possible exception. But when you consider the organizations I named, their records, on a relative basis, are impeccable. I mean, consider just the Times, for example: consider how many thousands of news reports run in the...

The mainstream media has traditionally been vigilant about separating opinion from straight reporting. Efforts were made to keep reporting balanced so that both sides of controversial issues were reported. Opinion was relegated to the editorial pages. With the internet came cheap ready access...

:D

Let me apologize if I wrote anything that even suggested I held a dim view of the Russian people, let alone demonized them. Russia is one of the great countries of the world, and it is certainly in the best interests of the U.S. to try and maintain cordial relations. It is common knowledge in...

That was a very kind thing for you to say. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Actually those aren't issues that interest me much, so I can't give you a very informed opinion. I am aware of course that the Clinton's Foundation accepted foreign contributions. I assume they actively sought them. That's what charitable Foundations do of course. Legal of course, and I would...

Just thinking history may be getting ready to rhyme. ;)

That's a fairly easy question for me to answer, but only with respect to myself. I am not a member of the Democratic party. Even were I , I couldn't speak for others. Your choice of the linking conjunction "yet" suggests a link between the undocumented immigrant issue and Russian hacking. A...

I didn't care for Hillary myself. And I'm not blind to Bill's faults by any means. But I sure as hell voted for Hillary! And that's one vote I doubt I'll ever regret. I wonder what would have happened had Bernie run as an independent. As long as Corporations have key First Amendment rights...

It's much more likely we'll sink some less expensive U.S. war ship ourselves, something cheap and obsolescent. We'll claim North Korea did it. Then, to use Trumps terminology, we'll bomb the shit out of North Korea. That worked for us in Vietnam until someone ratted on us years later. Our...

"Lock him UP!" :D

Apparently that's not true. In fact we now have a very good indication that a person doesn't need to know anything at all to become President. And they don't even have to be mentally stable. They just have to be good at playing to low information voters' prejudices and telling them whatever...

That's my point exactly, since it has been well established that the only reason Barack's mom wanted a child is she knew ahead of time that if she could only have a child, that that little Muslim kid was going to be U.S. President some day.. That's precisely why when she was pregnant with Barack...
