That, to his followers is all they need....the red meat, if you will, to disbelieve good hard working honorable members of the press and latch onto the ALT RIGHT web sites like Bannons Brietbar and others.

i suggest and VERY VERY VERY STRONGLY that our media not only has the right but the RESPONSIBIITY TO check what our leaders say of any party. This is not a kingdom where what the kings says is final.

i think the press has gone overboard to be fair to this man. Other than the other day when someone finally corrected him, they do not practice in your face journalism. T

They have been respectful to a man who is lying and they know it.

I WILL ASK (I DELETED THE WORD DEMAND) THAT YOU SHOW A TIME THAT THE MEDIA EVER EVER EVER MADE UP A STORY. The fact you do not like the news does not equate to the dangerous and serious charges you make. This does not include honest mistakes followed by apology, something you will NEVER see from our President....has not the inclination nor the class

You want an example:

Chris Matthews's famous interview with then candidate Trump about abortion. I saw the entire thing, not the truncated version.

Chris Mattews: If abortion were to be made illegal again, should the woman be punished?

Trump: (After a short pause) Uh, yes. Yes, she should face some kind of punishment. BUT, it is not illegal now, so that is not even an issue.

Chris Matthews: She SHOULD be punished?

Trump: Yes

The version plastered all over TV was:

Chris Matthews: If abortion were to be made illegal again, should the woman be punished?

Trump: Yes (the rest was truncated)

Chris Matthews: She SHOULD be punished?

Trump: Yes


Hardy truthful, is it?

I know of no doctor who will walk up to a pregnant woman and tell her he is going to do an abortion on her. She must REQUEST one. Trump was right. IF it becomes illegal, then she is just as guilty as the doctor who performs it because she will break the law by seeking it. Lawbreakers should get punishment. (In case you missed it, the keyword is IF.)
