Yesterday's utterly compelling news conference by President Trump, held on short notice, signaled an entirely new era in relationships between a president and the major media. For decades, the ability of mainstream media to bully presidents has been part of the accepted landscape. In 2004, then-influential Newsweek journalist Evan Thomas admitted that media bias was "going to be worth maybe 15 points" to the Kerry-Edwards ticket, an estimate he later scaled back to 5 points – enough to swing most presidential elections.
President Trump does not accept that status quo. He fights back.
...Snip...
Let's start with the Times story, which was a rehash of a story last month which was itself a rehash of a story in October.
Third paragraph: "The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation."
So Obama's stooges were tapping the phones of Trump aides during the campaign — imagine Nixon doing that to McGovern! But they turned up nothing. "So far." I like that, "so far."
But wait, the FBI is "sifting through … troves of previous intercepted communications."
Any conversations about Trump? "It is also unclear."
The officials, the Times said, "would not disclose many details." Call me a cynic, but considering these tax-fattened desk jockeys were breaking the law in even leaking this nothingness, I'm guessing if they had any dirt they would have put it out, instantly.

The alt-left always loads these tall tales with caveats. There's at least one graf that admits that there is no there there. Here's the Times' CYA on the golden-showers story:
"The FBI has spent several months investigating the leads in the dossier, but has yet to confirm any of its most explosive claims."
The times, they are a-changin'.

The problem liberals have is that they believe that if enough people see reality as they do, reality becomes what they want it to be instead of what it is. For decades, this has been reinforced in schools, in the media, in cities, in some families. Like-minded people create a huge echo chamber in which they only listen to other liberals. Conservatives and independent thinkers are branded as outsiders—others—and their opinions are discarded.
Since liberals all believe a certain way, that way must be true…must be reality.
To them, Trump must certainly look crazy. And Trump supporters are either stupid or crazy or both.
A friendly but derogatory term, similar to JAP, but with a very different meaning than 'American'.
I want to know whose phones were tapped. Was it campaign staff? Was it the Russians?
If it was campaign staff, who had access to the transcripts and did any of the information get forwarded to hillarys team.

You are mistaken. As a previous commenter stated, JIP means “Join In Progress.” As when Rush joins a press conference live, in progress.
Dewdrop, it was a joke.
