Lying Republicans are finally being challenged ...

on their lies.. For years Republican surrogates have been using the Gish Gallop as a technique to control interviews... The Definition below is perfect....Lie, Lie and don’t stop until interview is over.

In the past week I’ve watched the usually useless Chris Mathews destroy Jack Kingston by simply not letting him change the subject or continue his lying rant.
This is just a pleasure to watch..

And today the fabulous Joy Reid and her guest Kurt Eichenwald simply eviscerated A Trump Surrogate
and by stopping him at his first lie about the Clinton Foundation...


Enjoy! Because its been a long time coming..

such debunking of the lies continues.

Unfortunately, Katy Tur several times misspeaks her self and says Donald Trump was born in Kenya.

I’m surprised that Mathews didn’t immediately correct her..She was going a mile a minute trying to make her point concerning Kingstons lies...Come on Chris..

people getting active and contacting these so called Media sources. By the way,Facebook is the most effective form of contact according to Tech Guys,these so called Pundit's do not like to be held accountable. After all,the Social Cocktail Circuit can be brutal.

After reading a comment by NBC's CEO last evening praising Lauer,this might only be a blip allowing the push-back of Trump. Mr. Lack and Trump are not going to part company. It is all about the money,and if Trump does go through with his so called TV network,that is lost revenue for NBC.
