Trump: Media is 'scum'
MSN News ^ | December 8, 2015 | Jonathan Easley

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump called the media "scum" at a rally on Monday night, and singled out a reporter who was on the scene, calling her "third rate" and accusing her of lying about him.

"The mainstream media want to surrender the Constitution," Trump declared at a rally in South Carolina.

Trump pointed to NBC reporter Katy Tur, who he accused of falsely reporting that he had once left a rally early.

"She's back there, Little Katy," Trump said. "What a lie it was...what a lie it was for NBC to have written that. Total lies--a third rate reporter. Remember that. Third rate."

The media isn't used to being called out on their lies.

How awful for that mean, nasty man to call out reporters when they lie about him.

Katy Tur, the “reporter” in question, is, from her wiki page, “the daughter of journalists Hanna Zoey Tur (formerly Robert Tur) and Marika Gerrard.”

There’s more:

“Tur was the live-in girlfriend of political and sports commentator Keith Olbermann from 2006 to 2009.”

I think this is all we really need to know about her.

Hanna Zoey Tur (formerly Robert Tur)

Does that mean what I think it means?

Yes, it does. Check out Hanna Zoey Tur’s Wikipedia page.

I’m a Cruz fan but I have to admit Trump is hitting on all 12 cylinders. This is exactly what needs to be said. He has the instincts of Sarah Palin (and I hope, a lot of Americans as well).

I hope he challenges Americans to by pass the MSM altogether. Stop listening and stop watching until Obama is out of office.

I haven't said anything that nice about MSM (Marxist Sycophant Media) in a long time. See tag line.
