Burke, founder of the modern conservative movement.) (/irony)<br /><br />Who cares what evil lurks, or does not, in the hearts of these men (and women). Allowing evil hardly makes them "good". The result is identical whether they are deplorable or not.

They use this like David Flunking Brooks. From their ideological media projected image. Our "entertainment news" is produced to (as Tush Limp-Paw) has said for 20 years on his force fed media outlets. "Filling young minds full of mush".<br /><br /> How casual they can be addressing the idea of Trump appointment of a Bannon. I figure if Trump decides to appoint David Duke to a White House positiion on Anti Semitism. They would smile to the camera and find some sort of cover for the GOP congress that will give a president what he wants. Not remembering what that same GOP refused and obstructed in the past of another president.<br /><br />I saw this vieo of the House members returning to capital. Trump's red (make America great again) hats were placed on every Representatives seat. "We are united" some fool made sure they reported. <br />The fact that Trump recently made it a point to sneak away to a NY public eatery. To tell they wealthy there dining "he is going to give them such a tax break" to the very wealthy present, big applause. <br />Diverting tax dollars from the V.A. to tax cuts for the wealthy. Hoooray, freedom at last!<br /><br />Has kate written lately about the horrible huge $30 trillion U.S. debt Obama put us in (march of 2009) while still operating under Bush's fiscal year budget, lately? <br />Kate figures in her economic status none of the ugly will affect her. <br />Here is a very nasty problem,<br /><br /> How does any news/ media truly report on our government under this president and all the enablers of ringling brothers fascist show?<br /><br />They were unable to perform what the 1st Amendment provides and protects them to do suring the campaign. Trump is a fast moving Fascist that fabricates so many misleading story lines. So many so fast they cannot focus their ADD and report enough information. Not enough time to gather facts to report before the next exciting story they want to "break".<br /><br />Short story iceberg news..........<br /><br />Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-10821683433290477642016-11-17T10:59:19.777-06:002016-11-17T10:59:19.777-06:00Corporate control of media equals

I will not pay attention to anything said nationally about anyone, because there is a primary agenda to the propaganda. All media lies for cash. None of them have any prestige anymore in my eyes.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557598539640390108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-84889296396927215892016-11-17T10:16:49.217-06:002016-11-17T10:16:49.217-06:00Media people are falling over themselves to normal...Media people are falling over themselves to normalize the Trump presidency.
