    Let's be accurate - what they hate is fact, some of which is bound to get through even on the capitalist media. Trump is aiming at thought-control and a police state, as do all fascist clowns without a case.

    No, I'll listen to and read a vast array of opinions and reputable sources of news and information, including my subscription to Foreign Affairs, NYT, New York Review of Books, Skeptical Enquirer and all the performing arts and fiction literature I read or consume, all of which separates me from you philistines. In my humble opinion, the insular ignorant right wing neofacist isolationist news category is grossly overrepresented in American life. It should be just the slightest sliver, but you angry bleating insects are like a cacophony of 7 year locusts. Sadly you crawl out of the dirt far more frequently.

    Oh I agree with you 100 percent. I was formulating my comment to induce them to self examine. The beating them over the head approach doesn't seem to benefit the patient.

    He can't skip - he is too fat and full of wind. He lacks a sense of humour and any guts, so he is hiding under the bed, tweeting.

    It seems to me from your description that they were being ironic and poking fun at your type. News should always have the responsibility to critique power. That will generally appear to favor the have nots which a conservative will find irritating.

    Blah, blah, blah ... a self proclaimed expert ... and you're still a brainwashed dumbass that supports a cozy relationship between the pols and the press.

    OK I'll leave you alone for a while with him and should I return to find he died with that pillow on his face I won't suspect a thing.

    I didn't say I supported conflicts of interest, dummy. I don't fight straw men.

    Yes I do. I see the cozy relationship building for access as a trade off that is somewhat unavoidable and mirrored in every enterprise in life, (term limits for successful journalists?) and a far lower order of problem than that which you and your ilk present, like wholesale disregard for truth and tacit if not active support for state censorship wherever your peeps are in power.

    Having sex with your own mother three times per week can't be doing your self esteem any good either.

    Maybe if you tried to keep your one tooth brushed and looking somewhat clean and not caked with the shit you eat it might help you feel a little better about yourself.

    Worth a try anyway.

    Ok, I'll bite. Give me an example of State censorship unrelated to national security.
    And other than Nazi Pelosi's, "you have to pass the law, to know what's in it". That was the action of a true police state. Which the press should have gone bonkers over, but they didn't.

    Well if you don't want to be compared to fascist stop acting like one. It would be one thing if your so called solutions work but they don't. Their not intended to. They're intended to hurt people. That doesn't make you interested in sound governance. It makes you a sadist. Biggest political joke in my life time is the notion of a compassionate conservative.

    It's not...funny how conservatives love Ronald Reagan for supposedly winning the Cold War while the fact that Reagan's major contribution was embracing liberal internationalism and rejecting conservative isolationism. So when you're called a "globalist" remember it's being used by people who adhere to an outmoded and outdated isolationist position that cannot possibly work in our modern "connected" world. We simply can't turn the clock back like they would like to do.
