“CNN referred TPM’s request for comment to Cuomo’s publicist, who did not immediately respond.”

What is the suggestion here? Are we on a politically correct witch-hunt now, TPM? Come on!

Still better than being called Fox “News”, which isn’t just fake but aggressively stupid.

FOX: Fake news is a compliment. We have been doing it since inception. We call it popular news.

Might be a tad histrionic, but I don’t care.

Fuck Trump.

"I see being called ‘fake news’ as the equivalent of the n-word for journalists, the equivalent of calling an Italian any of the ugly words that people have for that ethnicity

He makes good points. I just wish he didn’t have such a bone-headed lead-off.

Mr. Cuomo has been a little skittish lately. A few weeks ago, he was pretty much raked over the coals on Twitter when he said something to the effect that just because some of his friends voted for Rump doesn’t make them or him a racist.

As you can imagine, THAT didn’t go well.

Ever since, I think he’s realized that aligning one’s self with this regime in any way is big mistake.

Seems like Don Lemon would be the one to answer this.

Does sound a bit mighty white of Cuomo.

Hey Cuomo, the college level Republicans are even worse. Stick around, you’re in for a treat. I hear they’ll party like it’s 1939.

The Central Michigan University College Republicans on Wednesday hosted a Valentines Day party featuring anti-Semitic cards handed out by a member of the organization, the Morning Sun reports.

Ok, so the Comedy News Network is slowly moving to become the somewhat Concerned News Network.

Never to late to go after HairFuror, IMHO…

I was at the gym earlier and saw a news blip about what’s going to be covered on the local Detroit news tonight. Showed video of Trump today with the chyron “Trump’s Offensive.”

He sure is, isn’t he.

I’m sure it wasn’t intentional. :grin:

Wow, really make you wonder when someone inthe public eye says something this stupid.

Ok…from now on only two responses. ‘LIAR!’ and/or ‘DO YOUR HOMEWORK!’

I’m sure they just love him in Detroit. Maybe a twofer.

Yeah, not really, but I get his point.

When CNN reporters and hosts cross a bridge into police batons and spouting fire hoses, maybe. Until then, get over yourself, Chris. All those phone interviews from Trump in the last two years WERE fake news, so thanks for that.
