Haven't heard that.  I have heard Israel isn't willing to confirm they were the source of intelligence. 

Looks to me we have "he said, she said" deal going on. You have a former or current (which is he/she) "source" familiar with how the US gathers intelligence say it came from Israel and Israel won't confirm that they were the ones.  Then you have "anonymous" sources said they heard Trump give up classified info and then you have three people on record that were in the room say that he didn't.   

I'm not sticking up for Trump here, but if he didn't divulge any methods, sources and locations, then at best he shared nothing more than FOUO or Sensitive information.  I am willing to let the dust settle and see what happens between he said/she said.

I'm where I've been from the beginning, which is I don't instinctively trust Trump OR the media, and I think it's foolish for anyone to do so for either at this point.

If the fucking media will stop shitting itself at his every utterance maybe, maybe, maybe we could rationally evaluate what's truly happening.

But when he brokers a new deal with China that will benefit us all, that's ignored. Had Obama done the same? The entire staff at CNN would blow him on air.

Because of the relentless hysterical treatment he's given by the media his performance can't be objectively evaluated.  You can't find accurate, unbiased, impartial reporting to form an opinion based on the truth.

Upon further reflection, you like to make idiotic statements like this. 

What you're failing to see, however is that the ONLY place where lockstep comformity is demanded is in your little snowflakey safe space enclaves.

The religion of global emperialsim of which Obama was a prophet and Clinton is a disciple, the false mantra of diversity, the destruction of American values in the name of open borders, the shaming of the white race...

Trump is a danger to everything the left stands for. He has the chance to shape the Supreme Court for decades to come. He has the opportunity to undo and set back the radical "progressive" agenda these hyenas (from Clinton to Pelosi to Schumer to Maher to Hollywood to DC lifers to the Post) all thought was a foregone conclusion.  Thank GOD for President Trump.

The marching orders now are to marginalize him. The media for the most part -- all the way to ESPN -- is discouraged from reporting anything positive. Instead, the mission is to smear him in any way possible. Because the man has the chance to hit reset. They know when the economy takes off, when jobs are plentiful, when taxes go down, when life as a whole is better -- and it will be -- all the wailing and whining they do will fall on deaf ears.  People will vote out of their own self interests. When his policies bring stability, security and strength -- and make no mistake they will -- the left will be isolated. A new generation of American patriotism will be fed by that prosperity.

So the lockstep socialists are unified against him. It is they, not the Trump supporters, who brook no dissent and no deviation from the message.

I didn't bother reading this because this thread started with the idiocy of accusing a news organization of treason.

So. If a person leaked classified info, that is treason. But if a media outlet leaks it, that just reporting?

It's different when they're on his side. Human behavior at its finest. It's why we would all be better learning to move closer to the philosophy of Ayn Rand.

[AUChizad]

That's appalling.  They made and handed out the signs. 

It's not surprising, though. 

There is no "news" any longer.  Only opinion and agenda.

I think it's shady and manipulating the narrative, BUT I think you're also being hyperbolic.

They DID NOT make or hand out signs. There is zero evidence of that.

What it appears they did was allow actual Muslims who were actually already there protesting to come get a better TV presence by putting them behind the anchor in their set-up shot.

From the footage that actually aired, it definitely looks like they were just trying to pretend like it was some organic thing that just so happened to congregate behind them rather than deliberately setting up the shot. It's not something I think they should be doing, but it's also not what you're describing.

Is the needle moving ever so slightly towards the middle?  Probably not.  But hey...  foxynews


CNN has parted ways with "Believer" host Reza Aslan less than a week after the religious scholar came under fire for a series of heated tweets he made about President Trump.

"CNN has decided to not move forward with production on the acquired series 'Believer with Reza Aslan' (season two)," a CNN rep told Fox News. "We wish Reza and his production team all the best."

A rep for Aslan did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.

Aslan responded to Trump's June 3 remarks regarding the terrorist attacks in London calling Trump an "embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency" and a "piece of s--t."

MSNBC should also be eliminated and Rachel Madcow should be exiled from the country. 

As I was flipping channels in the hotel last night I came across a brief portion of her sanctimonious, smug whore-driven piece of shit show.  In her coverage of the Washington attack by one of the left lunatics she and her guests were advancing the notion that the "toxic political climate created when you have a president who is a bully, a Xena-phile, a Misaoganyst..." (or whatever the fuck all the labels they stick to President Trump) you should expect people to respond accordingly. 

What's never mentioned is that all of these acts of violence, acts dating back as far as the 1980s, are committed by LEFT leaning morons.  They're perpetrated by the unhinged Prowler's of the world who don't understand shit that's going on around them but baaa like demented sheep as they grow angrier and more frustrated that they didn't get their way. 

The "alt right" ( which doesn't exist ) isn't the source of destruction, mayhem and death.  It's the fucking left wing morons. 

But NOOOOOO.. Madcow and her insipid guests laid the blame at the feet of Trump and his supporters.  Of COURSE people are going to shoot and riot when you've got people like HIM around.    Damn her.  Damn her lesbian slutty ass straight to hell.

Your emperor and hero did this multiple times:

While the media is lamenting the fact that Trump is defending himself against CNN and other left-wing news outlets, they were largely silent with President Barack Obama.

Here's a quick rundown of President Obama's attacks on Fox News:

- Obama Says Fox Is Entirely Devoted To "Attacking My Administration", June 16, 2009, CNBC's "Closing Bell"

JOHN HARWOOD: Last question. When you and I spoke in January, you said--I observed that you hadn't gotten much bad press. You said it's coming. Media critics would say not only has it not come, but that you have gotten such favorable press, either because of bias or because you're good box office, that it's hurting the country, because you're not being sufficiently held accountable for your policies. Assess that.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: It's very hard for me to swallow that one. First of all, I've got one television station entirely devoted to attacking my administration. I mean, you know, that's a pretty...

HARWOOD: I assume you're talking about Fox.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well, that's a pretty big megaphone. And you'd be hard-pressed, if you watched the entire day, to find a positive story about me on that front.

- Obama Calls Fox News "Destructive", October 14, 2010, Rolling Stone Magazine

"Look, as president, I swore to uphold the Constitution, and part of that Constitution is a free press. We've got a tradition in this country of a press that oftentimes is opinionated. The golden age of an objective press was a pretty narrow span of time in our history. Before that, you had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It's a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world."

- Obama Takes A Shot At Fox News Owner Rupert Murdoch, May 10, 2011, Speech In El Paso, Texas on Immigration Reform

"One CEO had this to say about reform. 'American ingenuity is a product of the openness and diversity of this society… Immigrants have made America great as the world leader in business, science, higher education and innovation.' That’s Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox News, and an immigrant himself. I don’t know if you’re familiar with his views, but let’s just say he doesn’t have an Obama bumper sticker on his car."

- Obama Hits Fox News For Making "Compromise" A "Dirty Word", January 27, 2013, The New Republic

"One of the biggest factors is going to be how the media shapes debates. If a Republican member of Congress is not punished on Fox News or by Rush Limbaugh for working with a Democrat on a bill of common interest, then you'll see more of them doing it."

- Obama Blames Fox For Benghazi and IRS Scandals, February 2, 2014, Interview With Bill O'Reilly

The tensest moments came on Benghazi, with the host and the president talking over each other and at times sniping at each other.

"Your detractors believe that you did not tell the world it was a terror attack because your campaign didn’t want that out," O’Reilly said. "That’s what they believe."

"And they believe it because folks like you tell them that,” Obama said, adding on the IRS scandal: "These kinds of things keep on surfacing, because folks like you will promote them."

- Obama Hits Fox News For Obamacare Criticism, October 2, 2014, Obama's Speech At Northwestern University

"I am not on the ballot this fall. Michelle’s pretty happy about that. But make no mistake: these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them. This isn’t a political speech, and I’m not going to tell you who to vote for – even though I suppose it is kind of implied.

"But I have laid out my ideas to create more jobs and grow more wages. A true opposition party should have the courage to lay out theirs. There’s a reason fewer Republicans are preaching doom on deficits – because they’re now manageable. There’s a reason fewer are running against Obamacare – because while good, affordable health care might still be a fanged threat to freedom on Fox News, it’s working pretty well in the real world."


- Obama Hits Fox News for Anti-Poverty Narrative May 12, 2015, Remarks by the President in Conversation on Poverty at Georgetown University

"There’s always been a strain in American politics where you’ve got the middle class, and the question has been, who are you mad at, if you’re struggling; if you’re working, but you don’t seem to be getting ahead. And over the last 40 years, sadly, I think there’s been an effort to either make folks mad at folks at the top, or to be mad at folks at the bottom. And I think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving, got traction. And, look, it’s still being propagated.

"I mean, I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant menu — they will find folks who make me mad. I don’t know where they find them. They’re like, 'I don’t want to work, I just want a free Obama phone' — or whatever. And that becomes an entire narrative, right? That gets worked up. And very rarely do you hear an interview of a waitress — which is much more typical — who’s raising a couple of kids and is doing everything right but still can’t pay the bills."

- Obama Takes A Shot At Fox News For Allegedly Covering Him Unfairly, September 20, 2015, Remarks by the President at the Congressional Black Caucus 45th Annual Phoenix Awards Dinner

"I want to repeat -- because somehow this never shows up on Fox News. I want to repeat -- because I’ve said it a lot, unwaveringly, all the time: Our law enforcement officers do outstanding work in an incredibly difficult and dangerous job. They put their lives on the line for our safety. We appreciate them and we love them."

- Obama Claims "Certain Televisions Stations" Distort His Position On Guns, October 27, 2015, Speech at the 122nd International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference

"And some of you who are watching certain television stations or listening to certain radio programs. Please do not believe this notion that somehow I'm out to take everybody's guns away and every time a mass shooting happens one of the saddest ironies is suddenly the purchase of firearms and ammunitions jump up because folks are scared into thinking that Obama is going to use this as an excuse to take away our Second Amendment rights."

- Obama Blames Fox News For Making Him "Seem Scary", November 5, 2015, The New York Review of Books

"It’s interesting, because we’re talking in Iowa; people always, I think, were surprised about me connecting with folks in small-town Iowa. And the reason I did was, first of all, I had the benefit that at the time nobody expected me to win. And so I wasn’t viewed through this prism of Fox News and conservative media, and making me scary. At the time, I didn’t seem scary, other than just having a funny name. I seemed young. Sometimes I look at my pictures from then and I say, I can’t believe anybody voted for me because I look like I’m 25."

- Obama Blames Fox News For "Balkanization Of The Media", November 3, 2016, Real Time With Bill Maher

"The problem is we’ve got all these filters. Look, if I watched Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me either because you’ve got this screen—this funhouse mirror—through which people are receiving information. How to break through that is a big challenge.”

- Obama Blames Fox News For Election Loss, November 29, 2016, Rolling Stone Magazine

"In this election, [they] turned out in huge numbers for Trump. And I think that part of it has to do with our inability, our failure, to reach those voters effectively. Part of it is Fox News in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country, but part of it is also Democrats not working at a grassroots level, being in there, showing up, making arguments."

Your emperor and hero did this multiple times:

"Treason" not used once in any of those quotes.  It's a word that comes with a lot of baggage.   It has a very specific meaning.  It should not be tossed about casually.

[GH2001]

"Treason" not used once in any of those quotes.  It's a word that comes with a lot of baggage.   It has a very specific meaning.  It should not be tossed about casually.

He blamed them for all of his and the country's ills and downfalls. Pretty much saying the same thing with nicer window dressing.

Fwiw I don't think Trump ever said "treason" either.

JULY 29, 2012
Trying to buy tax breaks

One of my favorite TV shows is “The Rachel Maddow Show” on MSNBC.

On a recent show she stated that 17 very rich men are supplying the Republican Party with more than 60 percent of their campaign contributions.

These men are trying to buy our country. You know they expect something for all this money. That something is that Mitt Romney and a Republican Congress won’t raise their taxes. We all know that the rich don’t pay enough taxes.

In response to letter writer Roddy D. Riggs calling me ignorant and making up facts, I say: Look up “Causes of the Great Depression,” on Wikipedia. Income inequality is on the list. This theory was held by economists Waddill Catchings, William Trufant, Rexford Tugwell, Adolph Berle and John Kenneth Galbraith and influenced Franklin D. Roosevelt.

It held that the economy produced more goods than consumers could purchase because the consumers didn’t have enough income. In the productive 1920s, the mechanization of industry caused layoffs and unemployment started a steady rise but the rich got richer.

If the rich paid their fair share of taxes today, we wouldn’t be in this predicament. We need to vote all Republicans out of Congress. We need to demand Congress add 10 or more brackets to the existing tax code. We need 20 brackets to $20 million, and a 60 percent top marginal rate.

We can get our country back if we all vote the right way.
