    Default Socialist Cortez bans media from her 2 local public town halls

    Poor fragile darling wanted HER people to "feel safe". What the.....???????????????

    If she wants to make any of her events media-free, then make them private...like DJT rallies are private (yet he still allows the media in). These were public town hall gatherings.

    ****************************

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the Democratic candidate for Congress who quickly became a star of progressive politics after winning an upset victory in a New York House primary this summer, came under fire this week for excluding the press from two community meetings that were otherwise open to the public.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Oh good so you do disapprove. OK time to give Trump his dues, or are you just another Trump-Magnon hypocrite?

    This is screwed up. If the NYT is reporting against one of its own, not a good thing.

    True enough.

    It was certainly a 'what the fudge' moment!

    Trump’s gripe with the media is that they are an arm of the opposition party—with their ‘advocacy’ journalism.

    Cortez doesn’t want asked any tricky questions lol. And she’s goofy enough to go on about having ‘safe spaces’ for her people while she has a microphone in front of her.

    Actually, it's a very good thing. That's what a free and unrestrained press is supposed to do. If Trump has his way though, the only thing the media will be good for is singing his praises. That's not what you want, right?

    I’m trying to imagine the media singing Trump’s praises and I’m coming up empty lol.

    Thank the gods for *that*. As I said, if Trump has his way, that's all we'll have the media for.

    You make my point.

    Much of the media is over run with anti-Trumpers that are literally unable to report on him fairly. Any other president would be getting *at least some* accolades over the economic boom. But WashPo, the NYT, CNN and the rest wont even give him that much.

    So they deserve what they get.
