"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

Quoting limited to 10 levels deep
Of course. The media makes money on spin. That's why the media area at conventions, etc is called "the spin room." But it doesn't take away the fact that what he said alluded to an encouragement of jeopardizing national security. br
Correct, what he "said" alluded to an encouragement of jeopardizing national security. Whereas what she "did" jeopardized national security. I try to watch what they do, as much as what they say. He is an idiot. Like Mike Pence or not, he really has to wonder why he decided to be Trump's running mate. He is in a position where HE (Pence) looks like the calm rational one!
So the justification for Trump's comment is about what Hillary did wrong? Newsflash people: There's no justification for Hillary's private servers. There's no justification for what Trump said. And the media spins, but I haven't heard a single person say that Hillary gets a pass because of Trump said. Aaron, you say that's the case in the media. Link some stuff. Cuz I'm not seeing it.
Lol......do you think the media is going to issue a statement saying "Hillary gets a pass"? Come on man
You said you've seen media giving her a pass. I'm asking you to link to said media.
Hey dumbass. You can't link to the media giving her a pass......because giving her a pass means they aren't covering her problems, thus no link. Don't be an ass.
So your argument is that because the media covered Trump's comments without indicting Hillary at the same time, that's means they're giving her a pass? Didn't they just cover her email scandal incessantly for the past 6 months? What new information is there to even cover?
No, they didn't. Look at your own example.....how many posts have you created on here dreach condemning Hilary's handling of classified US information?
So.Many.Things.Wrong. 1) I'm not representative of the media, so my post history doesn't support your opinion at all. 2) I can't vote and even if I could I wouldn't be voting for Hillary, which I have stated on here. 3) I didn't condemn Trump for "inviting Russia to hack Hillary". Did you forget that? My opinion went opposite that of the media narrative. 4)You neglected to answer what new information there is to cover about the email scandal. 5)) Here's a Google search showing lots of news articles over the last week about Hillary's email scandal, which we know would be impossible if the media was giving her a pass. https://www.google.com.pr/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=hillary+email+scandal&gws_rd=cr&ei=k-GdV8bbB4XHetWUieAG#q=hillary+email+scandal&pws=0&tbs=qdr:w6) And last but not least, here's a post I started making fun of Hillary and Lindsey Graham for their email "deficiencies". BONUS: I also posted how I wouldn't vote Hillary in there! http://s15.zetaboards.com/Our_Hoosier_Board/topic/7901840/1/EDIT: Double bonus! That post that I started about HIllary's email scandal is exactly one post more than you have started about Hillary's email scandal. Lol. 1) You are representative of the folks to use social media as "news" and continue to spread it regardless of it's authenticity 2) OK 3) You didn't? Then what was this? http://s15.zetaboards.com/Our_Hoosier_Board/single/?p=8388565&t=8521023

yes it is. and what Trump said is as well.
Quote: Clearly Trump isn't calling for Russia to hack classified information and expose United States secrets to the world
He absolutely, 100% wants Russia to expose US secrets to the world if they have those emails. I'm with you on the argument he didn't ask Russia to hack Hillary, but I see no way around the other part.
4) Um.....how about the statements from the FBI director about her negligence and irresponsible behavior? Old news? 5) You can find anything with a google search dreach.....that is in no way whatsoever indicative of whether or not the media is fairly covering the candidates. In this article a liberal member of the media (Jim Rutenburg, New York Times) actually acknowledges it himself and tries to justify it. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/08/business/balance-fairness-and-a-proudly-provocative-presidential-candidate.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=1

If you view a Trump presidency as something that’s potentially dangerous, then your reporting is going to reflect that. You would move closer than you’ve ever been to being oppositional. That’s uncomfortable and uncharted territory for every mainstream, nonopinion journalist I’ve ever known, and by normal standards, untenable.
But the question that everyone is grappling with is: Do normal standards apply? And if they don’t, what should take their place?
Covering Mr. Trump as an abnormal and potentially dangerous candidate is more than just a shock to the journalistic system. It threatens to throw the advantage to his news conference-averse opponent, Hillary Clinton, who should draw plenty more tough-minded coverage herself.
6) Hilarious that you point to a post from you where you were trying to make fun of Lindsey Graham as proof of your unbias...lol. Out of all of the potential angles and stories about Hillary's email, you pick that one.....your killing me.

 The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

I can just about guarantee that any news article you have ever posted on this forum was also posted on social media. This strange idea you have that social media is all stupid and inaccurate completely ignores the reality of what social media is and can be depending on who is using it. 3) Thank you for linking that. Note, that I never said "trump invites russia to hack hillary". That was the narrative of the entire media, which I disagreed with. My opinion was that trump would absolutely want russia to release the emails if they have them. Two different things. 4) Are you seriously trying to say no one covered the FBIs report on clinton's emails? Seriously? Do you live in a hole? 5) "You can find anything with a google search Dreach." Like article proving you're wrong, right? And if someone can find anything with a google search...maybe you could go ahead and find something proving you're right, right? 6) That one. Where I made fun of Hillary and Graham. Where's the thread you started, again?

I can't believe you seriously try to deny media bias. 5) Already did....can't help it that you ignore it 6) I didn't start any thread about that...or about trump, or about any democrat or any republican. You, however, show your bias consistently with threads like that one and others for the reasons that I've already stated and are clear to anyone with an ounce of sense.

Aaron W - Dreach L - GAME OVER 1) What do crazy bloggers in their basement have to do with anything? Your statement was specifically about the media giving Hillary a pass on her emails when they criticized Trump's Russia comments. Soooo, were you talking about crazy basement bloggers when you referenced, "the media"? You're argument has gotten way off track. The only one in this entire discussion who has ever linked quack extremist basement bloggers is...Donald Trump. 3) The part you link to has me arguing with Bri about how I don't believe Trump said what the media is claiming he did. This is the point in your favor? I mean, ok. There is certainly a difference in saying, "Trump asked Russia to hack Hillary" and "Trump would want Russia to release emails they have if it helped him win." Big difference. 4) I have never claimed there was no media bias. I have never claimed the media was not bias in favor of Hillary. i merely asked you to back up your claim that the media was giving Hillary a break on her emails. Is the media bias for Hillary? Oh hell yes. Trump is completely awful. The media doesn't want him to win any more than most of the rest of America. But that doesn't mean they just threw Hillary's email scandal aside. As I showed, there's still plenty of people writing about it. 6) You didn't? http://s15.zetaboards.com/Our_Hoosier_Board/topic/8546419/1/#new http://s15.zetaboards.com/Our_Hoosier_Board/topic/8297355/1/ http://s15.zetaboards.com/Our_Hoosier_Board/topic/8293593/1/#new
