I can think of a few “journalists” that need to fall out of some windows.

Focus on the effing issues, news media pukes, which is America is being run into the ground and we want a change of leadership. A lot of us are sick of the news whores working together to mauntain an unacceptable status quo Who gives a rat’s butt about Putin right now or any other off-focus feelings of American ethnic groups who regurgitate Democrat hate propaganda againat Trump. Mr. Trump is going to insist that our laws on immigration and public safety be obeyed.

How does this preclude the Russians from still being our enemy? They could, potentially, be our ally, but alliances are not certain and can sour quickly. To think that the Russians are not insidious and self-serving simply because we share a common enemy is ludicrous and naive The Russians will do what they think is best for them as they always have. If it is in their best interest to sell us down the river or else steamroll over us, they will. The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.

He's right. Journalists died mysteriously---AND under Mevedev and Yeltsin and, of course, under Gorby. It is almost certain that the police/earlier KGB killed them.

But, as Lannie Davis would say, there is no "pwoof."

“George Stephanopoulos there is the Clintons and Arkancide. Its much closer to home. Start digging.”

Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, British reporter, wrote a book on that. He was recalled back to England.

from Wikipedia:

During his time in Washington, his stories often attracted the ire of the Clinton administration, and on Evans-Pritchard’s departure from Washington in 1997, a White House aide was quoted in George saying, “That’s another British invasion we’re glad is over. The guy was nothing but a pain in the ass”.

To a liberal, allegations and proof are one and the same.

That is a true statement when the application is by a liberal to their enemies, however untrue when the allegations are directed towards a liberal.

Castro killed LOTS of journalists. That doesn’t stop the democrats from being their friend!

Mexico is seventh in the world for lack of justice for the killings of reporters...sure don’t see the left or GOP worried about that!

The two best writers with the best books on the Clintons have been Ambrose Evans-Pritchard and R. Emmett Tyrrell.

As Trump said, no proof. Doesn’t make Putin good, but this is a pathetic way to try to smear Trump. How many journalists have died in US under Obama?

Here's an excerpt from my extremely useful complete transcript of Trump's interview with George Stephanopoulos on yesterdays ABC This Week, in which Trump dribbled George like a basketball:

5:27
GS: One final question about Vladimir Putin. Ah, when you were pressed about his killing of journalists, you said 'I think our country does plenty of killing too.' What were you thinking about there, what killing sanctioned by the US government is like killing journalists?

5:39
DJT: Well I think, number one, I think Hillary, when she was Secretary of State, made some horrible, horrible decisions, and thousands and thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of people have been killed. I mean you look at what went on in Libya, you look at so many bad decisions that she made. She's incompetent, as far as I'm concerned...

5:56
GS: That's not killing by the United States government...

5:58
DJT: ... you look at her range, she's incompentent. As far as reporters are concerned, as far as the reporters are concerned... obviously, I don't want that to happen, I think it's terrible, horrible. But, in all fairness to Putin, you're saying he killed people, I haven't seen that, I don't know that he has... have you been able to prove that, do you know the names of the reporters that he's killed, because I've been, you know... you've been hearing this, but I haven't seen the name. Now, I think it would be despicable if that took place, but I haven't seen any evidence that he killed anybody, in terms of reporters.

6:30
GS: Here's what Mitt Romney tweeted about that, he said "Important decision here; thug Putin kills journalists and opponents; oru presidens kill terrorists and enemy combatants."

6:40
DJT: Does he know for a fact that he kills the reporters? I don't think anybody knows that, and its possible that he does, but I don't think its been proven. Has anybody proven that he's killed reporters? And I'm not trying to stick up...

6:51
GS: There have been many allegations that he was behind the killing of Anna Politkovskaya...

6:52
DJT: No no, allegations, they are allegations, yeah sure, there are allegations, I've read those allegations over the years, but nobody's proven that he's killed anybody, as far as I'm concerned. He hasn't killed reporters that's been proven...

7:02
GS: So what killing has the United States (unintelligable) done?

7:05
DJT: George, excuse me, let me finish. If he has killed reporters, I think that's terrible. But this isn't like somebody that's stood with a gun and he's taken the blame or he's admitted he's killed. He's always denied it, he's never... it's never been proven, that he's killed anybody, so, you know, you're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, at least in our country. He has not been proven, that he's killed reporters.

Well of course there is Andrew Breitbart and Michael Hastings. :-)

On another note Putin denies killing anybody and Obama brags about how many people has killed with drones.

Other assassinations in which Putin is suspected of either having foreknowledge or personally ordering include:

I am certainly no fan of the KGB thug Putin, but Trump is correct that there is no real proof that Putin killed anyone. I have no doubt he has had a role in these killings and assassinations, but we need to be careful about throwing these charges around.

I can recall Hillary standing there with the Reset button. If Putin is such a killer, then why do we still cooperate with him in various areas such as space? Should we recall our Ambassador? What actions have the US taken to show its displeasure about these political assassinations and murders of journalists?

I thought that Stephy would be the first to go after Trump on this issue since Trump embarrassed him on Sunday by asking for the names of the journalists murdered and the proof. Stephy stammered and changed the subject.

ISIS is our enemy right now

That is the important point! In WWII we accepted Russia as one of our allies, despite everyone knowing they would be anything but after the war, because their aid was needed to win.

I am resigned to their being an ally again in the war against ISIS because I am sick and tired of our soldiers being the ones, for the most part, that lose life and limb in the effort. Putin has enough balls to make up for our resident eunuch and is will to do whatever it takes to exterminate ISIS!

Stephy should not even be allowed to interview Trump given his relationship with the Clintons. If Stephy were a real journalist, he would recuse himself from covering the 2016 campaign. Moreover, ABC should prohibit him from covering the campaign.

"The Committee to Protect Journalists, however, does provide names of journalists killed in Russia, and notes that, since 1992, 56 journalists of various nationalities have been killed in the country."

How many journalists have been killed in America ?

There are “allegatons” that Obama had a journalist killed here in the United States:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hastings_%28journalist%29

Thug or not, Russia is a Christian, white nation and our natural ally. We should be siding with them to combat the invading Muslim millions.

Barry’s just got his panties in a wad because Putin called Obama out on being a homosexual. Bathhouse Barry surely is well known to a former KGBer. Let’s just hope we don’t see the photos...
