    Default Praising the media

    Reporters & journalists routinely put their lives on the line in war zones, unstable countries & other violent hotspots to not just bring us the news, but to expose corruption, human rights violations & other widespread problems. Throughout our history, their courage has led to investigations, reform and shifts in public attitude and policy, and changed the course of millions of lives for the better. I salute them and their constant dedication to bringing us the truth.

    To watch a clown who also happens to be the leading purveyor of falsehoods and fabrications dismiss the entire profession on a daily basis as “fake news”, and then have his willing minions parrot that without thought or evidence, is really pretty disgusting.

    It’s what dictators and despots do – not leaders of the greatest democracy in history. Trump supporters should be embarrassed by this behavior.

    I think people are starting to understand what Liars the right wing has been. I think people are starting to understand how racist the right wing has been. The growth in CNN and MSNBC shows that people are getting how wrong the right-wing media has been. Breitbart readership is in the toilet because again people understand how much they lie.

    The actual number of journalists who do as you claim is a very small percentage. Most sit at their desks mining twitter all day long.

    There are about 50,000 journalists in the US, world wide the figure must be statistically quite high.....

    How many do you believe are killed in war zones per year....?....maybe 1%...?

    2297 Journalists and Media Staff Killed since 1990......about 28 years...http://www.ifj.org/fileadmin/documen...sreads_web.pdf
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    When did the criteria become "killed in war zones?"

    Right said most were desk-sitters mining twitter.

    That was one of your own criteria....
    the rest are obviously something else, most likely desk sitters but I couldn't guess how many are mining twitter....
    or even how many are actually 'journalists'...

    Re: the bolded. No, it wasn't - read Right's response, and my response to him. What does the "most" in my response refer to?

    I'm rooting for you.

    And never once did I single out reporters who were "killed in war zones." I said that there are many who put there lives on the line, but detailed a variety of situations.

    Of course it's over, because you were wrong & now you're backing off. Never once did I single out that it was ONLY reporters "killed in war zones."

    A win for me, but a waste of time. Please don't post unless you have something to contribute.

    Based on the gibberish that they publish. Do you have backup for your claims?
