FUCK him. The lying sob. It WOULD be like a cheating criminal con-artist like this baby Huey to try to take credit for another man's accomplishments, wouldn't it?

(33,620 posts)so many lies in such a short space of time that the debate opponent would use all their time refuting lies and never making their own points.
the reporter would have to take an entire segment doing that, and that time isn't available on fast-paced cable news.
so, all that happens is they get labelled lies, but what can be asserted without evidence (those are all lies) can be dismissed without evidence ( "you're fake news" ).

I have so little faith that any media outlet will do its job. . . MSNBC is usually the most responsible, but then again, they have Katy Turr on from time to time.
It just makes me sick.

They used to be called lies, but that was before democracy was under heavy attack.
Then for some reason, we got politically correct. Maybe it was because you could be sued for accusations.
