It doesn’t matter.

 

Plan A. Slime Trump in the campaign so he loses. 

 

Plan B. Resist and pursue Russia collusion so his administration is hamstrung and can’t drive their agenda. 

 

Plan C. Retake the House. 

 

Plan D. Eliminate POTUS and VP.  Speaker Pelosi becomes POTUS 46. 

 

She he was never supposed to lose. 

 

She was NEVER supposed to lose. 

 

SHE WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO LOSE!

"but our sources say"... who is the source? Clyde the janitor? There was a time when I felt all journalist sources needed to be protected so they would not be afraid to inform investigative reports about the truth of a dangerous situation. Of course, there was also a time when I thought most reporters were journalists. These days, I am not so certain most of the press doesn't make up lies and just print "sources say". 

If this a lawsuit against McClatchy by Mitchell?

You have it backwards.  Journalists, for the most part, used to be reporters.  Now, reporters seem to be very few and far between.

 

We need some good old fashioned reporters again who simply REPORT the facts as completely as they can and leave it to the reader (or listener or viewer) to interpret those facts. 

 

We don't need them to select how to best support the narrative of their journal.  Missing the days when "yellow journalism" was a bad thing.

Not as much as you'd think, though.  Edward R. Murrow showed bias in his reporting (albeit against Hitler and McCarthy, so no one cared, and he did allow McCarthy a half-hour rebuttal on his show), and ultimately lost his job complaining that his producers didn't allow him to show enough bias.  And Cronkite's Vietnam reporting was decidedly, intentionally, purposefully slanted.  

 

It's always been present...it's just usually not nearly as bad as it is now.  Even Civil War reporting was less angry and biased than news is today.

That's just because Johnny Reb wasn't orange.

Robert E Lee may have been a slaveholder, but a Southern gentleman would never take a second scoop

What a crockofshit answer. There are more than one articles related to Flynn near the top of the page. Why are you afraid to be specific?

The one that Rhino posted

Maybe now you can figure it out, considering that his post actually stated that it came from unnamed sources.

I  don't need to try to figure out what you mean, you dumbass. If you want discussion then you should make it easy to have a discussion with you.
