NBC News came under fire Sunday morning for two tweets that removed context from an answer Reince Priebus, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for White House chief of staff, offered on the idea of a Muslim registry.
Priebus appeared "Meet the Press" and was asked by host Chuck Todd whether he could rule out the idea of placing Muslims on a registry.
Here was the exchange:
TODD: Can you equivocally rule out a registry for Muslims?
PRIEBUS: Look, I’m not going to rule out anything. But, we are not going to have a registry based on religion.
What trump is doing is trying to remove a level of accounability as well as reduce the awareness and information the public will have. Hilarious!
How so?
He gathered press and media together in an attempt to demean them and try to put them in their place, which is natural for an authoritarian. Just start connecting the dots: press dodging, mockery, whining like a 12 year old about being treated unfairly, maniulating followers to villainize the press, inability to handle being questioned, a long history of avoiding accountability, a lack of transparency. His nature is to control, so he is going to control the image and the output. What's likely to happen is we'll see a limited and only occasional press pool that follows him. Press access will basically be an extension of what Bannon creates. It'll basically have the look and feel of a propaganda department. They'll be approved people in the bunch that happily reports what is fed to them and only ask softball questions.

I guess only time will tell to see if those things to mention are true. Are you saying that the press pools for the last two presidents were not propaganda arms? We had 911, endless wars of choice and the worse financial collapse since the great depression? Between fair and accurate and biased and ridiculous... How would you rate the reporting of those events leading up to and during versus what we know now? How would you rate the press coverage of the primaries and the election?
Time has already given us information, so I'm curious how you digest it up to this point? I guess the old routine answer about that it's the same as it's always been is one way to try and cushion it mentally. If you want to compare it to Obama and Bush jr., then start making point by point comparisons, rather than cherry picking events where the press effed up

I don't think they were honest mistakes or F ups.

No. based on your posts you may have been laying low for a bit, but jc is taking on pjfanwillneverleaves style: the nonresponse, cicular logic, the goal post shift, baiting others etc.

who knows if this is true ... but someone mentioned to me the other factor in this proliferation is that facebook's algorithms target news sites that suit one's profile and therefore bias ... to make sure people continue to want to be on facebook ...

When was the last news conference Bafoon has held open to the free press , remember when all you could do was ask when was the last news conference by Clinton ?

I'm responding now. My goal post shifts have been more left of centre to see what others have to say in hate territory. I like to experience liberal thoughts to try and understand what makes them think this way. I've found that the further I travel left the faster I chase my tail. Unless of course I start chasing my tail going clockwise first. So unless this thread to you is about me, which I assume it might be but nevertheless stick to topic and don't bait others with nonsense.

^^^ Stewart is like a lost puppy in this interview because he doesn't have his writers anymore to deliver fake news to his audience. He is a stumbling fool who can't accept President-elect Trump. My point is that Stewart, Colbert, Oliver etc are fake.

Sent to the NYT...hilarious!
Are you saying that the press pools for the last two presidents were not propaganda arms? We had 911, endless wars of choice and the worse financial collapse since the great depression?
Between fair and accurate and biased and ridiculous...
How would you rate the reporting of those events leading up to and during versus what we know now?
How would you rate the press coverage of the primaries and the election?

Is this fake news? - or just another deflated liberal
Sometimes I really wonder if you believe some of the shit you troll
