    No wonder you Packers fans are called "cheeseheads".

    I wouldn't have voted for Trump under any other circumstances than having Hillary Clinton as the alternative and I think what Trump did to
    Cruz and other republican challengers was low and disgraceful.

    Though he's done lots of things I approve of (his economic revitalization and putting conservative judges on the bench, just being two of them) I hope he does not run for a second term but it's up to the RNC and DNC to put viable alternatives in place and I have even less confidence in them.

    Wow, we've gotten way off topic on this, haven't we....Interesting post though.... while whether he deserves full credit for the current economy is debatable, I'm certainly happy the market continues to grow, so I will give him a partial check for that. However, I certainly agree with you that unless it continues through 2018, the other uncertainties of keeping him in the WH may not be worth the growth.. I would have no idea who the RNC would nominate instead (Pence??), and I really hope that the DNC doesn't give us only a Bernie/Biden choice, because both are simply too old at this point. If the Dems don't come up with a better 3rd choice, it's going to be another uphill slog in 2020...

    The liberal media can't even get through something as innocent as a non-political holiday without faking the news. Pathetic...

    From Joe's point of view, he's a RINO who never be able to show his face ever again or live among his former constituents. No place like home? No, he can never go back. :eek:

    Guys its a news network, political commentary is about the news, its all the same stew.

    They lied to you.

    An entire production team (at least) of one of their biggest shows conspired together to run a con about their talent working on Thanksgiving.

    Then, according to that article, when confronted about it they basically brushed it off like it was no big deal.

    Like it was no big deal, that in a time where fake news is an even intensifying weight around the ankle of the MSM.

    In the least the optics are comically horrible, at the most it represents a reflection of the attitude of networks like MSNBC when it comes to doing whatever is necessary to sell you on a story ...even if that means fudging parts of it.

    I've never watched the show before so they weren't lying to me.

    I guess it's kind of like Fox New's former "Fair and Balanced" when it is anything but.

    It is a not a big deal. Get triggered about something else.

    I'm not surprised that you would regard a leftist news outlet faking its content as "no big deal"...

    ...but I'm none the less disappointed that you're not recognizing the statement it makes about the current climate of honesty in journalism.

    Specifically because the instance you are choosing to get triggered by is NOT journalism. They aren't pretending to be journalists in that situation and almost no one, except you and any other Trumpettes looking to justify a belief that journalism is fake, believes that this pre-taped and pretend conversation of how thanksgiving dinner went is an example of journalism.

    The show you are talking about does current events as well. If you caught wind of a pre-taped clip saying, "Did you see that game last night? Yea, it was great." Does that really seem like such a big deal?
