Monday and Tuesday's ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts had zero mentions of border agents' use of tear gas during the Obama administration, according to the Media Research Center.
Federal agents used tear gas on the U.S.-Mexico border dozens of times during the Obama administration, data from the Department of Homeland Security shows, despite outrage at the Trump administration from Democrats for using the substance against migrant caravan members over the weekend.
According to DHS data, during the Obama administration, tear gas was used on the border 26 times in 2012, 27 times in 2013, 15 times in 2014, eight times in 2015, and three times in 2016. That compares to 18 times in 2017 and 29 times in 2018 during the Trump administration.
Additionally, during the Obama administration, pepper spray was used 95 times in 2012, 151 times in 2013, 109 times in 2014, 30 times in 2015 and 56 times in 2016, the data shows. Pepper spray was used 56 times in 2017 and 43 times in 2018 during the Trump administration.

Nobody did anything in his administration without his okay.
It doesn’t make sense then, does it?
I don’t want to give that POS ANY credit for something I am for.

Well said ....
How can this administration try to support/start up a NEW media outlet which would serve the American people?
It can't be that difficult for someone of the right persuasion with some access to money and some influence.
“What really can the President do to make more people aware of this ruinous, nationally destructive media?”
Tweet. And tweet more.
The press squeal like stuck pigs every time that he takes a shot at them, so even people who don’t follow him on twitter get to hear what he says.

Right. /s
Just who is going to prosecute?
Treat them no differently than you would Russian RT, TASS or China Peoples Daily for information. They will have a lot of true information, but a lot of untrue information as well. The key is the narrative they are promoting.”

What the media purposely refuse to report is as insidious as their overt propaganda. They routinely do both to control and shape public opinion.
He's a switch hitter. He goes both ways. It's all according to what suited his purposes on a given day. Sometimes they called it "prosecutorial discretion".
Yeah it’s like every 20th day he felt like doing something that actually wouldn’t DESTROY America.
But only for 10 minutes on that 20th day.
Then he went back to destruction mode.

Seems he’s taking all the credit for what Trump has done that’s good and blames Trump for the things he did that went wrong.
And i’m sure the msm still takes its walking orders from him, among others.
Thanks, FrankR!

(snip) -- Washington Post Magazine reporter Juan Williams said yesterday that the newspaper has disciplined him for what he called "wrong" and "inappropriate" verbal conduct toward women staffers and he apologized to his colleagues.
In an open letter to the newsroom, Williams said: "It pained me to learn during the investigation that I had offended some of you. I have said so repeatedly in the last few weeks, and repeat here: some of my verbal conduct was wrong, I now know that, and I extend my sincerest apology to those whom I offended. I have committed to Post management, and I commit to you -- and to myself -- to change my ways."
Williams's letter came several hours after about 50 female employees met with Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. and said they objected to The Post's refusal to say how the paper had resolved allegations of verbal sexual harassment against Williams.

Juannie Williams shouldn't be on the air. Maybe on NBC or SeeBS .........
Please take me off your list.
You are off.
