“Journalists shouldn’t be the one to say the President or his spokesperson is lying. What that does to 50 percent of the country is make them feel they are not credible to listen to.”

Feelings are all that matter, not facts.

If you speak in error, and are corrected, the next time you make that same, uncorrected, statement, you are lying.

Oh honest to Christ. WHICH country did this moron grow up in? Certainly NOT the USA where we value FREEDOM OF SPEECH and it’s not the GOVERNMENT’S place to put restrictions on us.

I find it hysterical that he labels the left “elites” while probably making more money than anyone on this forum to peddle republican bullshit.

Hysterical is the wrong word actually, it’s sickening. It’s sick what the right wants this country to be which is a Christian theocracy where the president is god and all knowing.

I’m sure we can go back somewhere on his Twitter and find him sharing a “journalist” who called President Obama a liar.

Did he feel the same thing when President Obama was in office ? I doubt it…(he also has a Hannity problem)

He should never be booked again.

But he will be.

Well, if someone repeatedly repeats something that is untrue, as Spanky often does, he is lying. And, if this person constantly says a variety of things that aren’t true, like Spanky does, he is a liar. So, thepress should point out,when appropriate, that Spanky is a lying liar. What’s wrong with that?

Oh this is the guy! I watched his sliminess and support for all things anti-democracy on Chris Mathews quite a few times.

Amazing that a loathsome person like him has a wife.

elite. n. the choice or best part, as of a body or class of persons. At least he acknowledged that we’re the best part. I wonder if his loser friends will notice.

Schlapp and his wife, Mercedes, walked out of the dinner Saturday night after taking offense at Wolf’s monologue, saying that they had had “enough of the elites mocking all of us.”

Fact: He didn’t even see the whole performance.

A shame because it was fucking awesome!

And then they went to 2 invitation only after parties sponsored by NBC and MSNBC.

In other words the journalists should be stenographers.

I believe everyone walked out after Michelle Wolf’s performance, because the event was over.

The grotesque face of conservatism. According to him you can’t know someone’s a racist either. It’s amazing all the things he couldn’t possibly know, and yet is such a puffed-up scumbag. Oh…am I allowed to say that?

I needed to meet a person the other day. I gave them the address. They have a current smart phone. It has 11-teen methods available to guide a person from point A to point B. Nevertheless they insisted I “tell them how to get there”.

These are not people that can connect the dots unless you draw them a map. So yes, journalists need to say “Trump lied” when Trump lies.
