Donald Trump's not quite Joseph Stalin. But his 'Fake News Awards' should scare us.

Nina, dahrlink, be for minding off your own businesk!

There are several unkind observations I could make but will resist. When I saw the news outlet, I knew it would be BS anyway. Stalin's daughter Svetlana came to the US, too, think she defected.

Yes, I used to track what went on in Russia because I grew up so afraid of them, and the leaders were the privileged ones, had all the amenities and conveniences of contemporary western living at the time while the people stood in freezing weather in breadlines, had to get on a waiting list to buy an automobile, and lived in horribly cramped apartments.

The results of the President’s physical killed the “Trump is mentally incompetent!” narrative, so the word went out last night, that “Trump is Stalin!” is now the phrase that pays.

I don’t need a commie telling me anything about my country.

Donald Trump's not quite Joseph Stalin. But his 'Fake News Awards' should scare us.

Yes it should. By making the public aware of the outrageous media lying that has become routine, Trump will have the public wondering why they didn't attack your organizations with sledgehammers and pitchforks.

The media people are constant liars, and they ought to be afraid someone will expose them to the public wrath.

When are the awards.
Spodah be today sometime ??

[rrrod]

NBC hired Chelsea Clinton.......nuff said.

[jiggyboy]

Every media type I've seen talking about the Trumpy Awards are hoping that they get one.

Indeed. It's like hoping that Don Rickles will single you out and call you a hockey puck in front of your wife and friends at a Vegas show. You'll be telling the story at the Water Buffalo Lodge for years.

People do things for reasons, not always the right reasons, but reasons nonetheless.

Whenever I observe something absurd happening, I wonder about the underlying reasons.

The insanity of the MSM and constant attacks on Trump are nonsensical.

Even if there is an entire conspiracy, it’s not consistent.

This only means I don’t know how heinous their thinking has truly degenerated.

I think the Hitler standard should be used here. Anyone who compares an opponent to Stalin (or Mao, Pol Pot, Mussolini, etc.) automatically loses the argument.

[catnipman]

What NBC and the rest of the leftist fake stream media should REALLY be scared of is that their 24x365 anti-Trump jihad to the exclusion of pretty much all other news has resulted in a permanent loss of half their former viewers ...

[P-Marlowe]

Did Stalin ever “criticize” the Soviet press?

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

So pointing out the abuse of the freedom of the press ^{monopoly journalism entailed in the Associated—i.e., lacking independence—Press}, highlghting completely false and made up stories, and the brining attention to intentionally harmful and false stories, and calling out those who are exceptionally egregious abusers....is dangerous?

Oh....okay….

</sarcasm>

[catnipman]

Apparently Nina forgot that the Soviet media was the ULTIMATE fake stream media, so comparing the current U.S. media to the former Soviet media would actually be a very accurate comparison!

[SaveFerris]

The sheer number of idiots who buy into lies in this world is truly shocking.

No doubt, some idiot somewhere thinks this is “great insight”.

[TigersEye]

Talk about #FakeNews! This is award winning material.

[SaveFerris]

Now all we need is some idiotic comment from W., Jeb!, Hillary and BamBam to complete the Satanic circle of lies.

[papertyger]

Let’s leave Godwin’s Law as it is.

This country spent so much time worried about Russians very few recognized how truly Maoist Barak Obama was.

I’d hate to have people check out on a valid argument on a technicality.

[TigersEye]

Kruschev boasted he would bury us.

I didn't think it would be with fat lying Russian chicks.
