Well, well. Mike Flynn Moving To Withdraw Guilty Plea. Here's Why.

[christiefan915]

I find myself wondering if it really is the new normal - if we can make it back from this. One journalist correctly called it the "post-truth era."

It has happened so fast, but there is no doubting it. Many live in that world of "alternative facts" that Conway coined just last year.

For me it's really depressing to have to fact check every bit of info coming out of trump and his WH. If we can't trust him for the small things how can we trust him on the big ones?

It's been a long, stressful year and I have doubts it's going to improve, especially as Mueller continues his investigation.

I prefer to read news rather than watch it. It's easy to cross-check stuff you read while on the computer, to see if the same story is being told the same way by other sources. What is MDR?

Same here. It seems like newscasts are boiled down to a few paragraphs while the sites fill out the story with more detail.

Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (Central German Broadcasting, MDR) is the public broadcaster for the federal states of Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. Established in January 1991, its headquarters are in Leipzig, with regional studios in Dresden, Erfurt and Magdeburg.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitteldeutscher_Rundfunk

My Frau is from Leipzig, we visit the fam usually twice a yr. so I'm watching that when there.

trump and his minions have made lying the new normal. Sad.

I think you can trace the beginning of the right wing propaganda age back to the early 90's and the ascendance of Rush Limbaugh on to the national stage.

That's when I recall blatant lying with no consequences from one's conservative fan base became acceptable.

I find the networks show their bias not only in what they report but what they don't report.
OAN is the most biased in that regard. They don't offer any opinion, it's all factual but all the news they show is favorable to the right.

I trace left wing propaganda to Dan Rather and his blatant and obvious hatred for the Bush family going back to the 80's. The fact that CBS put up with him for so long told me a lot about CBS and their bias.
You can thank him and CBS for Rush.

There is no such thing as left wing propaganda.

That's just right wing propaganda.

Oh fucking spare me, we have the Podesta emails proving conclusively that the vast majority of the MSM acts as the DNC ministry of propaganda and actively collaborated with the Clinton campaign. Furthermore; we have the recent Harvard study which showed that nearly every single media television media, newspaper, and magazine outlet had 80%+ negative coverage of Trump, the soul outlier was Fox news with only 52% negative coverage.

I don't know anything about OAN, found it's on cable and I don't have cable.

Well, well, Rump moving to concede the election to Hillary!


That’s about as accurate as their desperate claims that Flynn is moving to withdraw his guilty plea!

Trump gets negative coverage because it's obvious to anyone with a fucking brain that he's a lying incompetent asshole. The media just reports the stupid shit he says and does then you fucks call it negative coverage.

You fucks think the media owes it to him to say nice things about him even though he doesn't deserve it.

Idiots

If there is misconduct, yes he will. Judge must have e had a reason to make the order to see more evidence.

It’s the judge’s standard order, fucking idiot!

He issues the same order in ALL criminal cases!
