Sarah Sanders' dishonest defense of Trump and his assault on the free press reaches a new low
NBC "News" ^ | August 3, 2018 | by Matt Simon

$180,000.

That’s how much Sarah Sanders earns a year as White House Press Secretary. She joins 23 other White House employees in that top salary bracket.

That means this is also how much she is paid to spread lies to the American people and peddle conspiracy theories on behalf of the president of the United States of America.

Sanders has had her current job for a little over a year. But it’s become increasingly clear that there are very few limits to what she will do when it comes to making excuses for her boss. Being the press secretary is a difficult job in any administration, but Sanders continues to lower the bar when it comes to falsehoods and obfuscation, in the process undermining the Bill of Rights not to mention the integrity of the Trump White House.

Simply put, Sanders is reaching a point of no return; in fact, she may have already passed it. The question she needs to ask herself is $180,000 a year worth the damage she is doing to herself, the free press, the institution of the presidency and ultimately, the country at large.

“Obama’s press secretary had Stalin posters hanging in his home. Was that okay with NBC?”

Of course it was OK. They are the commie propaganda after all.

“Obama’s press secretary had Stalin posters hanging in his home. Was that okay with NBC?”

Every socialist country has an elite upper class and a suffering lower class.

That’s the inconvenient little fact the media propagandists and commie democrats fail to let the little people, the ignorant voters, know.

So this bovine-scatology-ridden article takes you to "THINK" webpage by NBC. You will soon find fake news about themselves. As you read the following, reflect back on what this punk just wrote about Sarah Sanders. Try not to spew coffee/covfefe onto your keyboard. The article also takes you to a FReep-worthy opinion question.

++++++++++++

THINK is NBC News’ new home for fresh opinion, sharp analysis and powerful essays. Mixing text, illustrations, data visualizations and original video, THINK will help readers interpret and evaluate the world and their place in it.

It’s a heady proposition, and one we take seriously. Online readers are now bombarded with information, but have to search for real insight. We believe there is value in providing analysis and commentary that is based in expertise and personal experience.

From the earliest days of broadcast television to its current programming on cable TV and Snapchat, NBC News has long fulfilled its mission of presenting and explaining world events. Starting today, as part of our expanded presence on the web, we have an opportunity to present a large and diverse set of opinions on those events. They will range across the spectrum, but will always be provocative and enlightening.

To do this, the THINK team promises to do three things:

We will always be transparent

Readers may not always like or agree with the points of view they read and watch on THINK. This is not only OK; it’s preferred. The point of this section is not to keep readers comfortable, enable groupthink or preach to the choir. But we will always make sure our readers know who our contributors are, and why we believe their opinions are worthwhile.

We will always be factual

A common criticism of opinion journalism is that it is easy. Well, ANYONE can have an opinion, critics snark. That’s true, but not all of these opinions are created equally. Opinion expressed in THINK will be carefully reasoned and based in fact.

The ways facts are interpreted may change from reader to reader and expert to expert, but we will always try to make sure the foundation of each argument is clear and sound.

I wonder if any of these morons in the press are even capable of any introspection...

I couldn’t finish reading this hateful piece of tripe because I started choking on my oatmeal from laughing. What a total ass this guy is. The so-called repubs he supposedly worked for were RINOs, so he would be the perfect spokesman for them, being able to speak from both sides of his mouth without the forked tongue interfering. That’s a real talent. Meanwhile, I’ve got better things to do besides read a rant that could have come from a 3 year old throwing a tantrum.

You and me both. I LOVED the start:

$180,000. That’s how much Sarah Sanders earns a year as White House Press Secretary.

She's worth every penny considering the classy way she fillets and fries these self-important propagandists pretending to be journalists.

I used to think her dad was a total j@ck@$$, but have changed my mind seeing what an awesome daughter he raised.

I’m 73 yrs. old ,,, been tuned into politics since 1963 and I must say with out a doubt that Sarah Sanders is the best Whitehouse Press Secretary ever in my lifetime . Tony Snow was also very good but Sarah is up against the entire unhinged liberal media every day and in my opinion she continues to remains on the high road while taking the lib press to the proverbial woodshed where they belong .

God Bless Sarah ,,,, she is a great American ,,,,, thank you Sarah for all you put up with .

The assault by the free press on the President of the United States is only proving Trumps statement to be very correct.

I’m for making some examples of these traitors.

They think that they want this.

They really don’t.

The old dominant Progressive media are used to being able to control the government. They are used to being able make and break politicians, to set the narrative, to determine what is a scandal, and what is not.

To them, “freedom of the press” means “freedom of the press to control the information flow”.

President Trump refuses to be controlled by the press. Instead, he points out their fraudulent attempt to control him and the American people.

They hate that.

Leftnoids demand their victims stand against the stake with a blindfold and cigarette. For far too long RINOs did so. Now faced with a fighting general (Trump be like Patton sotospeak)... they act like the loud mouth school yard bully, who finally takes one in the nose, they sink into whine... showing their only “threat” is what we perceive them to be. Kick their sorry arses Mr. President! LOL! You have shown they are wet paper crybaby kittens. #MAGA

Oh I hope they keep up the attacks!

They have revealed themselves--what they are, what they stand for, their ideas of morality, even their designs on America, all of it--to the American People! The People are onto them! The more they talk, the more they reveal, the more People join the Trump Revolution!

KEEP TALKING!

No, the question is...Is $180k enough to have to put up with the abuse from people like you.

Yeah,that's what I was thinking. I had to look at the source again to see if I'd misread it and it wasn't really NBC.

That pretty much puts the vanishing touches on any bullchit about NBC being a "news" source.

NBC is nothing but a bunch of hacks pushing the anti-America band wagon around DC for the Deep State.

F 'em.
