    CNN put Michael Avenatti on the air SEVENTY-FOUR TIMES over a two-month period to savage Donald Trump. Trump has been vindicated completely in the Russia collusion charade. Avenatti was just charged with extortion. CNN is having a very, very bad day.

    Trump isnt the first. Remember Obama wire tapping reporters l, and their families, from Fox and AP for not towing the party line.

    He wants the press to report the news.

    Your post is complete BS.

    Avenatti has just been arrested for attempted extortion of Nike. Who else did he represent again?

    Three socialists and Trump. Trump is definitely the outlier. Replace his pic with Obama and you will have it nailed.

    Can you cite prove of that claim? I've seen right wing propaganda sites make it, but I've never seen any credible sources do so.

    When the press does report something that is 100% true, if it makes him look bad, he calls it "fake news" and claims it's a conspiracy against him. He wants the press to report HIS version of the news, and calls them traitors if they don't, even when what they report is completely accurate.

    If the press reports untruthfully they are the enemy of the people. Trump is absolutely correct in calling that fake news and those who do not report truthfully enemies of the people.

    There are no versions of the truth. There is only the truth. The reportage on the Covington kids is a great example.

    Come’on man. Do your homework and stop embarrassing yourself. BTW you most likely did not here much about this in your CNN/MSNBC bubble. They ignore the truth and are indeed enemies of the people.

    Take off your rose-colored glasses--BOTH parties voted for those travesties. FYI the only Senator to vote against the Patriot Act was Russ Feingold, a Democrat.

    The only person in the house to vote against the AUMF was Barbara Lee, a Democrat. Not sure, but Ron Paul probably voted against it too.

    Both parties deserve to be scorned for their attacks on the Constitution.

    My glasses are fine. The Democrats were the only party to abuse the Patriot Act and those who did so should be prosecuted. They broke the law. Why is that not clear ??

    There is nothing wrong with fighting terrorists. Why would anyone object to that.

    Yes, your glasses are fine for your dissonant view. The simple truth is that BOTH parties have brought this country to where it is right not. BOTH parties are totally into the GWOT. Members of BOTH parties routinely violate their oath of office.

    The terrorists you worry about populate the federal government, as we enter our 18th year of perpetual and undeclared war.

    CNN and MSNBC don’t report such things. They habitually lie by omission. It’s therefore easy to know where certain individuals exclusively get their “news”.

    the press is a business. they generate revenue by telling their consumers what they want to hear. the fact that they lie routinely and manufacture “facts” is of little consequence to most people who are far more interested in whom kylie jenner is ****ing this week.

    Has nothing to do with Russia, it has to do with Trump being a textbook Narcissist who can't stand it when people don't treat him like a king. He calls anyone who doesn't kiss the ground he walks on traitors.

    I don’t think that’s how these people think. In their world Avenatti is a hero because Nike is an evil corporation.

    RUSSIA!, RUSSIA!, RUSSIA! was my example of why you should reconsider your defense of media.

    They defrauded you on the RUSSIA! story, do you propose that they aren't lying sacks of crap in other areas?

    This is the issue with Trumpers like you, anyone who doesn't agree with you, you consider traitors and "enemies", and only news which reports exactly what you want to hear, regardless of whether or not it's true, is considered credible.
