FALSE EQUIVALNCE.

Let’s put you on the defensive...

Defend Trump’s press conference without deliberately switching the subject to Obama in order to take the pressure off Trump.

You seem to be implying, erroneously, that Obama didn’t have negative or critical press coverage. Which is absurd on its face.

I’m confused. In your first comment you call the press useless. Now I’m supposed to read links from places you’ve called useless, and be convinced by what they say?

And Peter Thiel will be there to fund the lawsuits.

Sorry buddy, but hating leaks is far from just not answering a few simple questions in person. What Trump is doing is far worse. I never recall Obama, at a press conference, shouting “YOU are FAKE NEWS” at a reporter, then side stepping two part questions completely. Obama wasn’t perfect, but he’s going to look…

What did Obama do that should have forced the press to “get tough” with him?

It’s true, I didn’t like his answers. But I really didn’t like that he avoided the question entirely.

I’m talking explicitly about answering questions in press conferences.

Obama answered multipart questions.

Reporters cannot ask him multipart questions, it makes it WAY too easy to dodge. I can’t imagine how tempting it is to ask a whole litany of questions in your one turn but the fact that he could sidestep the question about whether his staff had contact with Russia is unacceptable.

If the election had been held again on November 9, he would have lost in an electoral college landslide as well a popular one. A scarily large portion of the left spent the entire election cycle trying to convince everyone to vote 3rd party or not vote at all to “send a message” because there was no way Trump could…

Messy is being generous. This is an all out attack on the integrity of our country. It was a sloppy magic trick, but the trick itself is what is concerning.

“But now, here’s Kellyanne Conway to tell us we didn’t see what we just saw.”

Seems like Trump sent some of his staffers down here to the comments too.

I don’t know - I think we’ve reached the point where we need to start distinguishing between “fake news” and “shitty news.” CNN is “shitty news” without question, but not “fake news.”

Why the fuck are people still humoring this walking dumpster fire of a human being?

“Trump later called it a “failing piece of garbage,” and said it would “suffer the consequences” for publishing the report.”

He’s doing better to pin her down than almost any actual newspeople.

I’m the same. I just read the transcripts bc I.CAN’T. with her on video. Nope. This clip is safe to watch, though, even for us. I did. Because she’s out of her element, on a very liberal show, with a VERY established and famously popular host who actually ROASTED Cheeto at the WHCD one year!
