MSNBC Host Suggests Trump May Start Killing Journalists
Information Liberation ^ | 2/6/2017 | Chris Menahan

President Donald Trump start killing journalists because he pointed out Sunday the US is not "so innocent" and may have done some nasty things in the past?

Maybe, at least according to MSNBC's Katy Tur.

From Newsbusters:

MSNBC took its fear mongering smears of the Donald Trump administration to a dark new low Monday afternoon when reporter Katy Tur suggested the president’s war with the media would start racking up actual casualties. During an interview with Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, a Republican, Tur suggested Trump would take a page from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s playbook and start targeting journalists for death.

“As we know, there's, since 2000, been a couple dozen suspicious deaths of journalists in Russia who came out against the government there,” Tur reminded the Senator before unscrupulously suggesting Trumps distaste for the media would escalate, “Donald Trump has made no secret about going after journalists and his distaste for any news that doesn't agree with him here. Do you find that this is a dangerous path he is heading down?”

WATCH: (at link)

Speaking of "suspicious deaths," Michael Hasting's death was awfully suspicious. Same goes for Gary Webb.

How come CNN attacked those who questioned their deaths as "conspiracy theorists," but now they regularly suggest "suspicious deaths" in Russia are actually assassinations carried out by Vladimir Putin?

All Trump's comments were pointing out was the US has a history of assassinating people, specifically the CIA.

(Watch second video at link)

If a Democratic president pointed that out, CNN would be hailing him for "taking an honest look at our dark past."

Because it's Trump, they speculate it means he wants to go on a killing spree.

CNN is literally "fake news."

No wonder they regret using the term so much.

If the headline is true, the propagandists at MSNBC have nothing to worry about, they have no journalists on staff.

He’d have to go some to come close to matching the “death by inconvenience to Clinton” list!

True, Trump will tweet them to deathinto obscurity!!!

We don’t need the “old gotcha” press conferences. With the whining and lying liberal mediots attacking our president. We are tired of the mediots lying and telling us what to believe and how to vote! Ban them from the White House. Trump’s comments and statements are for his voters. We don’t need lying liberal mediots to tell us what he says to us.

Official Washington is being traumatized by the tweets of Donald Trump.

Politico has chronicled the pearl clutching concern by the inside the beltway types over Trump's tweets. Trump speaking directly to the people via Twitter is causing a crisis among mediots, politicians and lobbyists. They just don't know how to handle it as the article title, “Trump’s Twitter feed traumatizes Washington.”

Remember Hillary bragging about killing Osama? She bragged for years...last time a few months ago. And Muammar Gaddafi? Could we possibly have had something to do with that?

Are you seriously trying to equate the killing of Osama bin Laden and Gaddafi with the journalists, political opponents, and former colleagues that KGB Putin has ordered murdered? If you want to bring Hillary into it, you should have mentioned the Uranium One deal, where the Russians ended up with at least 20% of our uranium production. Just last week, our "friends" in Russia (according to the scumbag Putinistas) transferred a bunch of it to Iran!

Tur's touchstone is "suspicious deaths of journalists in Russia who came out against the government there[.]"

Suspicious deaths of journalists and authors in the U.S who came out or were in the process of coming out against the government long before Trump entered the political arena include:

Andrew Breitbart - Approximately three weeks before he died, Breitbart told Lawrence Sinclair of Sinclair News, “Wait ‘til they see what happens March 1st.” He was almost certainly referring to his plan to release damning footage of President Obama that he had been promising to reveal throughout the month of February 2012. According to Breitbart, the footage shows Obama in his college days appearing alongside former Weather Underground terrorists Bill and Bernardine Dohrn. “I’ve got video from his college days that show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008 – the videos are going to come out,” said Breitbart, adding that Obama would be vetted. After drinking red wine and talking politics at a restaurant in Brentwood, Breitbart collapsed walking home. An eyewitness, Christopher Lasseter, said Breitbart was walking without apparent distress when he stepped on the curb “and fell like a sack of potatoes.” Lasseter also noted that Breitbart’s skin color was bright red, which is not typically associated with heart attack victims. Breitbart was pronounced dead at 12:19am on March 1, 2012.

Michael Hastings - died in a highly suspicious single-car accident. He had told friends that he was afraid for his life following stories he had written which were critical of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. One of the emails leaked during the 2016 Democratic Convention confirmed that Hillary had received Hastings' damning investigative report of the attack on the Benghazi consulate 5 months before his death.

Gary Webb - a Pulitzer prize winning journalist who exposed CIA drug trafficking operations in a series of books and reports for the San Jose Mercury News. Associated Press reports initially stated that Webb had died of multiple gunshots to the face, but were later changed to 'single gunshot wound' when people began to question how or why a man would shoot himself in the face twice. The coroner on the scene also originally reported 'multiple gunshot wounds' but later changed his story.

Tom Clancy - died unexpectedly two months before his newest novel, Command Authority, a Manchurian Candidate-type story replete with facts and exposing a Saudi Muslim plant in the White House and the direct funding that went into it, was due for release. The reason for Clancy's death remains a mystery. John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore did not release a statement, and the Baltimore Sun announced simply that the cause of death was, “a brief illness," but no source was provided.

Danny Casolaro - investigated the existence of a vast network of government operatives and politicians all linked together by the vast wealth acquired from the selling of CIA cocaine in the US and was working on a book exposing the government-sanctioned drug running when he was found in a bathtub in a hotel room, his wrists both deeply slashed in a manner that the pathologist declared did not appear to have been done by Danny himself.

Yes, I'm saying Governments have been known to murder people they see as threats - - even us - and often without declared war.

Now that said, I believe our choices of "people to murder" were wise choices... (for the most part - I'll leave out the wild coincidences of the ‘Clinton Circles of Deaths’... if those are true they appear rather self-serving)

But in the case of Russia, the victims were reporters and others who simply spoke out against Putin. In other words, they didn't knock down the World Trade Center or hijack and fly a commercial airliner (with people in it) into the Pentagon.

Gaddafi was in on taking down the World Trade Center? I did not know that... And Obama’s drone kills were’in on the Pentagon crash’? I’m stunned...

I guess you forgot what you wrote in post 74.

“Remember Hillary bragging about killing Osama? She bragged for years...last time a few months ago.”

You know, Tur, I kinda agree with you, except it won’t be ordered by president Trump. That I can assure you.

If violence escalates and We the People lose lives, you and your ilk may be subjected to the same while ‘covering’ violent riots.

It could happen to any ‘citizen’ who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, right? It could be even by police action.

Why do you ‘feel’ you will be targeted? Doing something wrong?
