Discussion: AP Bungles Fact Check: ‘It Takes Two To Tango,’ But This Is Trump's Shutdown

And I suppose the Jews should have just acceded to Hitler’s…oh fuck this…AP should just be boycotted the fuck out of existence for this idiocy.

This morning’s daily poll at MSN homepage shows that 52% of the 186,345 people who responded blame the Democrats in Congress for the shutdown and 45% blame dotard. Only 1% feel the GOP controlled congress is to blame. Admittedly the population of the poll is heavily weighted Republican but this is how effective the information they are getting from their media sources is.

The Dems should remind the press that they don’t negotiate with terrorists.

I saw this last night and I thought ‘when is it BOTH sides fault when one is lying and the other side doesn’t want to pay for that lie?’ Evidently when you’re a corporate hack.

Is unscientific garbage that the Trump KKKult vote brigades once word goes out of its existence.

Internet polling is yet another way in which the MSM is completely and utterly failing at its job.

Obviously, you cannot fund 99.9% of the federal government unless you first negotiate and acquiesce to building a stupid, ineffective, one-person’s-ego-saving border wall.

When I was a working journalist, the Associated Press was the gold standard in trust. Their reporting was always solid and they were the foundation for the info stream that flowed through newsrooms across the country. That now seems like a long time ago. They can’t be trusted without question and their talent pool is shallow as a rain puddle.

Reuters is a favorite of mine. Particularly for global news but I hear they are closing offices…
Yeah, AP used to be the Walter Cronkite of wire services, but is a mad clown car of late.

Oh I realize it is unscientific information but it is still and indication of what our fellow Americans from the other side of the aisle believe because that is what their information sources feed them. Every now and then the daily poll will include questions about age, sex and political party leanings which reveal that most of the participants are over 50, mostly male caucasians and mostly GOP leaning. It is as close as I want to get to actually going to right wing media news sites to see the BS they are ladling out to gullible viewer/listeners. It is a blurry snapshot, nothing more.

How can you blame the kidnapper when it is the family members who haven’t paid the ransom yet? Throw the family members in jail!

Like saying the kids at Parkland are at fault for getting murdered because they had to be there to receive the bullets.

It takes two to rape, because if they would have just consented it wouldn’t have been rape.

From the archives:
WOUNDED KNEE {AP} Two opposing armies used guns and arrows to murder one another. The army consisting of women, children and old men lost.

It is worse than that.

It is claiming that it is the fault of someone who, when the hostage was shot, was not even in the position of being able to pay the ransom. The CR passed when the Republicans had the House majority.

from which the major networks ran scared ever since the rise of fox - and then tried to outdo each other interviewing only republicans and never doing stories on the environment or civil rights anymore

It does give us a look at what the idiot press is doing to cover it all up though. Since I can’t watch fox or ABC news, this is what informs me of what right-leaning joe average is getting information about and how

I love old machines.

The guns included field artillery!

AP: addicted to bothisdesism. It must feel good, or something.
