    Seriously, why do you make up such ridiculous claims when we have a mountain of evidence that flies in the face of what you just said?

    A simple search would have informed you the press organizations have never really been impartial. A journalist can be impartial but his news organisation, those who decides what is being published aren't. The Orson Wells vs William Randolph Hearst fight was about yellow journalism and Hearst wasn't a leftist and he did control a big chunk of the newspaper in his time.

    I am quoting multiple political science professors who actually study that issue instead of relying on confirmation bias.

    Sure back when news was on a couple hours a day. Since leftist Ted Turner created CNN news agencies have been political 24/7. Different times now. People watch the news channels they agree with politically. It's no longer news being reported, it's all political propaganda.

    Oh come on. He could have given her a brief answer and gently chided her to stick the announced subject as he did. He could have had a little grace, maybe even some charm. Would it KILL this gaping ******* to act like a regular human being for ONCE?
    This is like Jon Stewart says, the man is just such a total ****** DICK and this is like the Republicans all over, It's not enough they're just in charge and they **** on people at every opportunity for no god cursed reason most of us can see, no, they plaster a big "**** you" on every thing they do besides.

    I can't WAIT for November, voting against this ******* and all his lickspittle supporters is just SUCH a pleasure.

    On those news channels maybe. I think the big Evening News programs at least try, And there's the BBC along with the Wire Services on the net.. You can still get a clear picture if you make the effort.

    What the hell are you talking about.

    How was she being a jerk when he called her name and he insulted her before she ever got one question out?

    What’s wrong with you?

    No silly, before TV... But even with TV nothing has change. There never was a free impartial press as they've always been controlled by an owner who decides what is getting printed or broadcast. Edward R. Murrow wouldn't have been able to make his famous broadcast if the owners didn't want him to do it. Same as todays CNN or Fox.

    She was being a jerk for trying to inject the Kavanaugh issue into the event at hand and the new trade agreement and badgering him about it.

    OH come on now she could have asked a question about the event at hand with all the foreign dignitaries and our trade officials and theirs all there for THAT OCCASION instead of being a jerk and going off on the Kavanaugh thing making all those foreign dignitaries stand while she goes on about things that have nothing to do with them or why they are spending their VERY valuable time there. She was thinking about herself and her image and her face time rather than ask the questions about this trade deal all of us want answered.

    But she hadn’t even uttered a peep. Not a single word. He called on her and insulted her before she asked a single question.

    So how does that make her the jerk?

    Instead of saying sorry, they tried to cover it up


    Who are you talking about? I am 100% certain it’s not Ms Vega who the OP was writing about.

    Oh **** too, he could have just said, "I agree/don't with the Congress and that's not the topic" and just gone on, no muss, no fuss, but no, he saw a chance to be a gaping ******* and just couldn't resist.

    You guys make me tired, You're just like what Trump said you were. If he had just pulled a pistol and shot the poor woman you'd probably be saying. "she shoulda stayed on topic" You guys WORSHIP this jerk. Doesn't it bother you even a little that Trump pegged you as totally in his pocket nearly 2 years ago?

    Except it missed the point that she hadn’t said a thing about Kavanaugh before he insulted her

    Trump doesn't care who he insults.

    And Trump's Fanboys would support him even if he burned their houses down.
