Suggests? Doesn't sound like a suggestion to me there chrissy. So, should I be upset that when we put down our last canine Oxxxx didn't order flags lowered? Trust me, he was far better than any reporter. Or, maybe, just maybe, the admin is actually following flag protocol. Just a SWAG!

Lowering the flag has gotten totally out of hand. It used to be that this was done only in extraordinary cases of national mourning. Now people do it whenever something bad happens, and other people catch heat for not doing it when somebody else thinks they should.

Lowering the flag for every mass shooting is ridiculous. This is escpecially true if it happens in a state or location where the people cannot defend themselves properly.

The city of Annapolis communications manager just called a Baltimore talk radio host and said there was no White House delay.

She didn’t say it but the rat congressman lied

The people at this newspaper had been threatened by the killer for six years. Some even expected violence from him, yet no one did a thing to improve security. One wonders why.

If Trump hates the Press then that makes two of us. During the Obama years they lower the flag excessively then again his entire presidency was a state of morning for this nation

You lower the flags for military, police, and other people who love their country. For journalists, you use their newspapers for dog training.
Go to hell, cuomo. Dead journalists = dead worms.

No where in the flag code does it say to lower it for journalists. POTUS does have the option but isn’t required to do so.

I chipped a nail, whaaa, lower the flag!

Cuomo is one of many snowflakes who grew spoiled by the previous occupant of the WH, and his habit of lowering flags for the likes of Whitney Houston, who never risked a finger for her country and died an addict.

If Trump had ordered flags flown at half mast, the @ssh*les in the fake news media would have raged about what a hypocrite Trump is, lowering flags is an empty gesture, blah, blah BLAHHHH!!!

Fredo Cuomo looking for relevance on CNN, the fake news network that nobody watches.

Maybe the flag should be lowered for dead distinguished paedophiles and notable Communists.

The Constitution says,
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States
. . . but journalists refer to themselves as “the Fourth Estate,” and insinuate that the First Amendment confers a title of nobility on them.

It doesn’t - but you can understand why they think that ’nobility’ such as themselves should be deferred to by lowering the flag.
