    Of course Fox News is mainstream.

    Everything you post is some kind of absurdity. Everything.

    Ditto to those who constantly spread CNN, Washington Post, the young Turk, The New York Times, etc. The worst offenders of genuine fake news.

    It’s a shame.

    Meanwhile a CNN contributor made a Tweet in reference to Israel's defensive actions by saying "the world today needs a Hitler". Its just the latest in a history of anti-Semitic, Hitler praising Tweets this far-leftist has made - yet his Twitter account remains open.

    False equivalency. The presiden'ts comments and tweets are amplified and broadcast around the world and all over America not so with a free lance journalist that has been fired from CNN

    So what?

    CNN cut ties with him.

    https://nypost.com/2021/05/16/cnn-cuts-ties-with-freelancer-who-tweeted-praise-for-hitler/

    Feel free to complain to Twitter about his account.

    And, on-topic, Hawley is a complete idiot and a disgrace to the Senate.

    Heh, one guy spoke about a baseless election myth the other literally, as in literally, praises Hitler. Yea, no **** there isn't an equivalence - these two things aren't even in the same galaxy of comparison.

    But Adeel Raja had 50+ bylines on CNN, a world wide broadcasting company. He had ample opportunity to spread his hate, not on the scale of a President (who spread peace both literally and metaphorically mind you) but he had a platform of far greater impact than your average person. And just because this is a good opportunity to do so, here are some of the last Tweets of Pres Trump, Tweets that CNN (and the rest of the MSM) failed to cover, Tweets that the Democrat House Managers failed to present at Shampeacehment 2.0, Tweets that Twitter and the rest of Big Cuck Tech ignored when making the decision to ban him for "inciting violence".

    Donald J. Trump

    I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!

    Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!

    You (conveniently) left out this part:

    Trump's 'We love you' to Capitol rioters is more of the same

    After rioters stormed the Capitol building Wednesday -- as Congress began its formal recognition of President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory -- Trump released a short video calling for the rioters to leave. His statement was peppered with sympathy, telling the rioters, "We love you, you're very special."
    Trump mentioned in the video the false conspiracy theory that he actually won the 2020 election, saying, "I know your pain, I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it. Especially the other side. But you have to go home now. We have to have peace."

    On social media posts, Trump said, "These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away."

    Massive bulk purchase by conservative PAC helps Josh Hawley's book make bestseller lists: report

    Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) received massive backing for his new book from a conservative Political Action Committee.

    "Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley's The Tyranny of Big Tech sold 20,900 print books in its first week, according to NPD BookScan data provided to Forbes, landing on bestseller lists after his first publisher Simon & Schuster dumped the book over his objections to the presidential election results—and with the help of the GOP book-buying machine and one of the senator's favorite targets: Amazon," Forbes reported Friday.

    Make that former CNN contributor.

    I see the offending tweet has also been deleted. That's a significant difference you have failed to point out.

    In the business, it's called a remainder table souffle or window dressing. Big sales based on early publicity until word gets around how bad it is.

    Once again pushing a fantasy and false equivilance claiming that a fired Journalist has the reach of The President of the United States as he broadcasts hatred prejudice and violence around the world using a powerfull bullhorn no one else comes close to having access to.

    Trumps violence hear around the World

    https://www.mediaite.com/online/tru...p-out-of-protesters-offers-to-pay-legal-fees/

    “There may be somebody with tomatoes in the audience. So if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously. Okay? Just knock the hell— I promise you, I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise. It won’t be so much ’cause the courts agree with us too.”

    Trumps Racism Heared around the world

    https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/14/trump-congress-go-back-where-they-came-from-1415692

    “President Donald Trump, jumping into the middle of a feud among House Democrats, called out progressive congresswomen in xenophobic terms on Sunday, saying, “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”


    While he didn’t mention them by name in his series of tweets, Trump was presumably targeting some of the caucus’s best-known freshman women of color: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.).

    “So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how ou

    Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and Pressley were all born in the United States. Omar, a Somalian refugee, immigrated to the U.S. with her family in the early 1990s.”

    More Racism

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...an-points-out-my-african-american-at-a-rally/

    “Trump calls American-born judge ‘a Mexican,’ points out ‘my African American’ at a rally”



    Trumps womanizing heard around the world

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_Access_Hollywood_tape

    “I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it.

    I did try and **** her. She was married.

    And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, "I'll show you where they have some nice furniture." I took her out furniture—I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look.”


    This piece of violent Trash you call a President is a black indelible stain on the

    U.S. Presidency.

    You are projecting, because that is what Democrats do with Hillary, Michelle Obama, and other Leftists' books.

    So far, the Federal Election Commission data shows the Senate Conservatives Fund paid Hawley's publisher Regnery Publishing $64,750 in February for 'donor books' supporting Hawley."

    Anyone using Rawstory as a source should never be taken seriously. The site is toxic propaganda written for total locksteppers that cannot hink for themselves.

    It is why you should use real links so you are not totally embarrassed by being exposed as one that pushes propaganda.

    Here is a real source.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/alison...-big-tech-foes-and-bulk-buys/?sh=1d6719a61b91

    Regnery Publishing told Forbes the Senate Conservatives Fund purchase, which was made directly through the publisher outside of retail sales channels, would not have been included in the BookScan data used for other bestseller lists and denies that the bulk purchase influenced Hawley making the Times list, despite the appearance of the dagger symbol.


    Knock off the ridiculous lies.

    Sigh...

    The Times’ bestseller list listed Hawley’s book with a dagger symbol, which the newspaper uses when a book’s place on the list includes “institutional, special interest, group or bulk purchases.”

    and...

    Federal Election Commission data shows the Senate Conservatives Fund paid Hawley’s publisher Regnery Publishing $64,750 in February for “donor books” supporting Hawley, which likely would have bought at least 2,100 copies of the book based on the hardcover’s $29.99 list price.



    but hey, the publishing company said it cannot be so....that should be good enough they do not have any reason to lie! :roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol:
