PBS Won't Move On: Mark Shields Calls for 'New 9/11 Commission' to Revisit 2016 Election

It was bad enough when liberals like Thomas Friedman reacted to Hillary Clinton losing the election by calling it a "moral 9/11," which in no way represented anything like a set of terrorist attacks that killed 3,000 and wounded more than 6,000. But on Friday night, PBS NewsHour analyst Mark Shields returned to the scene of that rhetorical excess in reaction to the Mueller report. The investigations into Russiagate must never end. We need a "new 9/11 Commission."

Time to stop our tax dollars going to the CPB. As previously, I had no like for obxxx at all but these assclowns have taken their hate to a new low and are still digging.

I think there needs to be a commission to go back and review the Spanish-American War of 1898, and Black Sox Scandal of 1919.

This is shocking and unbelievable....who knew Mark Shields was still alive?(snark)

[EagleUSA]

Let them keep digging. Let their record of doing absolutely nothing FOR AMERICA and its citizens be a campaign pitch for Trump. Add this to the pile of RAT CRIMES and COLLUSION.

[Cold Heart]

Past president of PBS said PBS was a liberal working in a bubble.

How do we avoid it ever happening again? What do we need to do, statutorily, collectively in the country? And the Russians did — they subverted and sabotaged our election. And the Obama administration was remiss in its response in 2016. And President Trump has chosen for two-and-a-half years to deny what Russia did.

How does a rational person arrive at this conclusion ? They don’t. For Shields to arrive at this conclusion points out that he, Shields, is delusional.

I have been watching a channel for the last few days mainly because it is a free preview. It is The Smithsonian. A lot of interesting shows but the commentary is just plain disgusting.

Very poor history and just full of PC misinformation. Often just leaving out parts that would correct the misinformation.

This must be a government sponsored channel.

Just this minute they are showing “Andersonville. Telling of the horrors which was true but leaving out any information about equally bad Union camps.

It is not just a little PC either. Really, Really bad.

[Political Junkie Too]

Not a "new 9/11 commission," just an internal DoJ of the way they executed the FISA process.

Shouldn't Mark Shields be dead by now? He's been in bad health. There are a whole gaggle of geriatrics past their expiration date and overdue: Judy Woodruff, Eleanor Clift, Bill Moyers, Terri Gross, etc. etc.

How about a budget limit of three times the Mueller spending, to open similar investigations of Trump’s Scottish golf course budget and one on his charitable donations? This is all bigger than Watergate, the Dems tell us. Spend like it.

And they never looked into his elementary school fund raising when they sold cup cakes and cookies for charity and put the coins and dollars into a special box that young Trump knew was in the teacher’s desk in the fifth grade. Audit? Never done. “Seemed” okay at the time. Was it?

[Political Junkie Too]

Not a "new 9/11 commission," just an internal DoJ review of the way they executed the FISA process.

Who could possibly complain about that?

PBS = Progressive (Marxist) Bull Shite

[JLAGRAYFOX]

These absolute nutcase antics of the deranged, insane Democrat Party will destroy the Democrat Party forever. These twisted folks are totally “Lost-At-Sea”!!!

[dead]

Is Mark Shields the guy who sings political songs?

[sparklite2]

It’s time to revisit incongruities of the Teapot Dome Scandal. Interior Secretary Albert Fall was convicted of accepting bribe money from oilman Edward Doheny who, in a separate trial, was acquitted of giving him.

What did Harding know, and when did he know it?

[frank ballenger]

on old time leftists still annoyingly around on TV....

A cartoon had one guy say, looking at a card:
“Oh, I really hate my birthday today.”

“How so?”

“All the organ donation listings on the back of my driver’s license have now passed the “Best if Used By” dates.

[rktman]

No, that’s panty shields. :-)

I hope President Trump will ‘revisit’ the background of CPB/PBS/NPR/NET — their many socialist and unAmerican linkages and positions, their commerciali$m and their blocking of local, non-proggie Bob & Doug type shows.

It started out in Chicago, then went to Ann Arbor, and was/is socialist-inspired programming.

I agree. Only this time, give the other side a colonoscopy and bust their doors down, and, oh yes, their lawyers’ doors, too.
Find out who killed Seth and who paid his parents to simply accept it w/o wanting any investigation whatsoever.
Get the memos from the recipients of hilary’s emails.
Put Asange on a full trial with discovery and everything. Bring that honeypot back from Russia, the one who wanted to surrender and stand trial in the US, except that muleface excused her and declared her free from prosecutorial discretion.
Investigate the whole shootin match, only this time on the other side.
