We already know Trump lies AND for every bit of good she does-it's UNDONE By Sustern and Matthews And Joe in the fucking Morning. You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth when so much is at stake. Liberals have SHIT in the media. So unless it's a clean screen I ain't watching it no more.

why. If he's capable of running his stupid business, he's capable of deliberately lying because he can get a way with it.

is that who is she talking to? trump folks are not watching her show.

folks that know he's a liar and f ckwad are - so she's not doing anything news worthy.

stop talking about trump and start talking about policies, what the republicans are doing, how the hearings are going - educate folks on that - not that trump is a liar.

EVERYONE KNOWS. STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS ACT AND HIS TWITTER - TALK ABOUT REAL STUFF.

15. The Media Is Making The Same Mistake The Clown Car, The Dems & Hillary Made.....

they are taking on the personality Trump and in the case of the Dems & Hillary running against Trump - and in the case of the press - they are reporting on Trump.

He is the 'useful idiot' that keeps the attention on him - and lets the Repugs get away with murder in the background - because they are not paying attention to them.

If the Repug clown car spent more time talking about their ideas vs. trying to compete with the name calling of Trump - perhaps Trump wouldn't have won the Repug nomination.

If the Dems & Hillary campaigned against the Repugs - and everyday - talk about how they stonewalled and gridlocked and gerrymandered, and used voter suppression, and wasted time repealing Obamacare every week, and held up the appointment of a SCOTUS judge, etc - instead of concentrating on Trump - they might have won the presidency and taken control of at least the Senate and picked up some seats in the house.

And now the press and the MSM needs to as djsunyc pointed out above in their post - talk about policies, what the Repugs are doing, how the hearings are going, and educate folks on that - and spend less time talking about Trumps tweets, his sexual proclivities and his real estate holdings.

The Repugs in the background - while the press is talking about Trump - are basically taking apart the government as we know it and will set this country back to pre-FDR times.

Sure - they need to stand up to the bully Trump. They need to walk out of pressers - like yesterday - when Trump attacked one of their own. They need to pull their power back from Trump and take control of these pressers and not let Trump bully them. If they have to - they need to ignore Trump - because that would drive him more up the wall - because his ego can't take a situation that is not about him.

And djsunyc is right Rachel is preaching to the choir. We need to get to those Fox News junkies and the deplorables that voted for Trump and point out to them - how the Repugs and Trump are taking advantage of them.

One way they could have started was yesterday - when Trump attacked the CNN reporter and he was threatened by Spicer to be thrown out of the presser - he should have persisted and continued asking his question and let them throw him out. That might have shaken things up. And when he got thrown out - the rest of the Press should have gotten up and walked out on Trump, shut their cameras off and let him stand in front of his fake file folders, flags and toadies - holding his groin - and left him speechless.

When we get pissed at the insane yammerings of Chuck, Andrea, Joe, Mika, and now Greta, they can point to Maddow to show their liberal media bent.

9. C-SPAN was shown to be hacked today on the Rachel Maddow Show.

Didn't anyone watch the first part of her show, when members of congress started talking about Russia today?
One preemption of C-Span on the house floor Led to RT (Russian TV) taking over the live feed with its own broadcast.

Lots of Hacking going on, Democratic Underground was also conveniently hacked on election day before any election returns came in.

she is considered persona non grata here.

I think she's always excellent, even when it's stuff I don't want to hear.
