    Zero fucks given. Yep. I don't know the names of any whores. The fact that I know a few "journalists" is only due to them putting it on screen, or in the news article. I am not a fan of these crooks.

    Edit: Ok, I googled it. And still zero fucks given.

    Bob Woodward must have a better publicist. At least I knew who he was.

    Comparing any legendary journalists to the trash that work at CNN is just rich though. Did you ever consider that the reason you like CNN, is the tremendous confirmation bias feelings you get from watching? Nah? Oh well...

    With fake news, there isn't anything to gain from them, because they just blatantly present false information.
    I disagree, I don't think you're going to learn anything of value from Stormfront.

    And it rather begs the question to say that the biased news source is still presenting the facts as true. One of their favoured tactics is presenting opinion as fact, or blurring the lines, or cherry picking the facts, or mispresenting the facts by taking them out of context.

    If your opinion is that Carl Bernstein isn't a legitimate journalist I think we're all done here. Just stay in that corner you backed yourself into.

    I didn't insult you. That was your thing.

    Anyway, Carl Bernstein is worth reading and taking seriously.

    If he works at CNN now, he has no credibility. Anyone who hasn't quit by now is just not even a serious person.

    Also, I'm not sure why I'm even talking to you but, yes you did in fact start our conversation with basically, "you have nothing interesting to say ever". So, if you are trying to communicate with me, in some bizarre limited way, you are failing. Hard.

    It doesn't look like anyone interesting is posting in this anyway. I'll just come back later.

    he definitely is. And the story is getting wide spread in the world news today. And like they say where there is smoke you usually have fire. Cant wait to see the fire,

    This is getting silly. Tell us dude, what employer qualifies one as a "legitimate journalist"?

    At least you have bliss.

    I don't particularly like CNN, yet I can recognize that they are a legitimate news source that, being comprised of humans, has been known to err. Making a mistake (which they didn't even do, in this case) is still different that purposefully presenting things that are known to be false as the truth.

    Everything that doesn't agree with his world view is fake news.

    Yeah, noticed they elected to go with "how much should we lick your boots" when they got a question.

    Stupid doesn't like insane any more than smart likes insane. You will find as time goes on, blue/red, smart/stupid, rich/poor will all want Trump out for the same reason, and that is - chaos destroys, wealth only controls.

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    Thats what the term lugenpresse in Germany have been about since all the way back to the german revolution in the late 1840s it also popped up during the franco german war a few decades later and of course during both world wars,

    Hey, just noticed you completely edited this post. Much more substantive, but still wrong. Donna Brazile didn't write this.
