The press don't care when facts get disappeared 'cause they're working from a script lapucelle Aug 2016 #4

We're talking about double standards and a press that is working from a script. lapucelle Aug 2016 #24

The OP was about whether Hillary lied a few days ago TeddyR Aug 2016 #27

Exactly what did Hillary say when she made the mispoke statement?? Peacetrain Aug 2016 #30

You have also used and equated "misspoke," with "misstatement." They are not the same. fleabiscuit Aug 2016 #42

Sometimes its best to throw in the towel even when youre right, its was becoming no win situation BlueStateLib Aug 2016 #32

Reuters headline "FBI director says Clinton did not lie, break law in email handling" wishstar Aug 2016 #47
