    not in the article, but there are plenty of lefties implying it's a free speech issue.

From what I understand, they broke no laws here.

      But this is happening at a time when the hysterical hypotheticals about the Trump administration and its powerful friends attempting to limit and control and perhaps even end the free press are no longer hysterical or hypothetical. This is happening right now.
      This is the Sinclair Broadcast Group ordering each of its network anchors to read a script filled with right-leaning propaganda. This is anything that?s not favorable to the right being considered ?fake news.? This is the White House press secretary pulling shit so far out of her ass that her press conferences are nothing but colonoscopy prep. This is the president of the United States openly fantasizing about our media being more like the media in North Korea.And this is half of the Republican Party agreeing with him.

      Again, this is happening right now.
      I care as much about it as the left cares about this
      The debates that divide liberals from the left are more interesting — and at present, they can’t be found in ‘The Atlantic’ or New York ‘Times’.

      • I mean you think this is new? try being a conservative and a college professor trying to be hired at any major university.

        try being a conservative actor in Hollywood. or a writer. or anything else.

        Try being a black music artist and tweet support of the republican president.

        A white male conservative programmer at Google

        A conservative and pro traditional marriage and a CEO of a fortune 500 company

        Literally anyone else and commit the same crimes as Hillary Clinton



        We have had to put up with this shit for decades.

        • This bears repeating.

          It is scary because what we are seeing is the full implementation of a Joseph Goebbels style propaganda campaign. 1) Make the news controversial - insure that the media reports it. 2) The truth is irrelevant. Say things that either forward the Fuhrer's agenda or undermine the opposition. 3) Tell the lie often and loud from multiple sources so that the uniformed masses come to believe it. 4) Reinforce that alternate reality until it is perceived as actual reality. 5) Repeat.

          I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on

            • PPG probably shouldn't have fired him unless they were getting blowback. Hard to imagine. But, in any event, the PPG has revealed itself a bit. A drop in the bucket as compared to #GentryProg censorship and anti-free speech activities, but wrong nonetheless.

              Now back to CGVT-Kapture duking it out in truly a least common denominator battle.

                • If you can't see that happening, or want to admit it, don't even try to say that you love this country, because you don't. You love your ideology.

                  This is the biggest threat our democracy that I have seen in my lifetime. It is calculated and sadly, #trumpbuttlickers are buying it lock stock and barrel.

                          we are sitting in the same movie theater at the same time seeing two completely different things on screen. But if you insist


                          1) The democrats own the media. The media exists to promote the democrat party line.
                          2) This isn't a new phenomenon. Recent examples are 0bama first hearing about Hillary's email on the news, even though he was emailing her private email. or Ben Rhodes or Gruber lying about the Iran deal, or the ACA, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. On and on and on and on.
                          3) See previous point. Gruber said thank God the public are a bunch of idiots.
                          Ben Rhodes said "All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus," Rhodes said. "Now they don't. They call us to explain to them what's happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That's a sea change. They literally know nothing." and ?We created an echo chamber,? ?They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say."
                          4) See previous point
                          5) Repeat.







                          I know, I know, cock. But for someone that overlooked 8 years of this shit, you have no credibility to complain about it now.

                              DSL's boy Gowdy.

                              Hillary would have been a disaster. what strikes me is that if she won, NONE of this sees the light of day. She would have still fired Comey, the question I ask is why didn't 0bama?


                              As corrupt as the FBI CLEARLY was, imagine Hillary in control of that agency, how she would use it against her political enemies.
