NBC NEWS: “WE” HAVE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HURT TRUMP

Not that this will come as a surprise, but it is entertaining to watch NBC’s John Heilemann gleefully explain how “we” have a great opportunity to bludgeon President Trump and the GOP with the faux crisis at the border. In a mere 47 seconds, he gives the game away on a couple of fronts:

They don't even make a small attempt to hide their agenda...

Why do people even call these people journalists and news companies. nothing further from the truth. They just manufacture propaganda and work to take down opposing political opposition. That is not a news agency nor a real journalist.

And yet, NBC will still be allowed to host Republican primary debates.

No, they don't. They did, but it's gone. As usual, the liberals' genetic inclination to overplay their hand has blown up in their faces.

1) Massively over-the-top foaming at the mouth nonsense has people burned out on the outrage.

2) "Time" really stepped in it with their completely dishonest, now-thoroughly debunked "Welcome to America" cover.

3) Trump signing the EO (an act I'm still doubtful as to its actual legality, but we're here now) that removed the primary "I so sad" factor from the screamers.

This one is done. It was meant to distract from the IG report, which it did, but I get the feeling that it was meant to be more than that--an October surprise to put the GOP candidates on the defensive. Now the outrage is spent, normal people are wondering why we're supposed to be so upset about this to begin with ("why are they even coming here?"), and the Dems are really stuck.

When your boss loads up your teleprompter with crap you know is just that, you say it and do so with enthusiasm. That is because your boss was also part of the executive management team that ran Seth Rich, Sandy Hume, Martha Stewart, Vince Foster, and Andrew Breitbart into unfortunate outcomes.

Good point. And I wonder if after all of this TDS and fake news, if these “main stream media” election debates are finished?

Hell, it turned out that Hillary was getting the white paper on the questions even! Not that anyone really paid the price for that either...

They hold us, the voters, in such contempt. They hold the Constitution in such contempt.

The people elected Donald Trump and they admit they want to destroy him.

They think they are so much smarter than we are.

Well, there is the public schools thing going for them in that attitude, and I think the facts there hold that to be true.

But lack of intelligence leaves you with being emotionally driven. When emotionally driven you are either a) Mad. Or B) Satisfied.

That mad part is tough to predict and it's been working for us.

I don’t think it was deceptive. He says “we have a chance to hurt him” and then he backtracks and says “by we I mean the democratic party and I’m not a member of the democratic party. And peple who care. blah blah blah” He realized he said too much and tried to walk it back. But the simplest explanation is he meant the media when he said “WE”

The problem for them is its not working. Most Americans according to polls, blame the parents for abandoning their kids or for crossing the border illegally.

Somehow we have to get the debates away from the media. They are so clearly biased it has to be obvious to everyone at this point.

I have no idea who could or would do it? Maybe a Veteran’s group? Anyone have any ideas?

Do we have the opportunity to turn the tables and line NBC in front of a ditch to have a move to equality, 150 million more?

Televised debates are outdated and clearly they are partisan since the media establishments are all owned and controlled by left wing activists.

I highly doubt that any major network actually makes money. They are just subsidized by left wingers that have hijacked an industry or company.

Trump has actually grown stronger and stronger. The comical “Russian” and “obstruction” probe are absolutely dead. They are decimated. Hillary WILL BE INDICTED and we stand on the horizon on 20 years of Trump domination in America,. God bless our president and God bless America, You communist bastards can now go to hell!! Thank you Jesus!!!

If NBC is allowed to host Republican debated, what does that tell us about the Republican Party?
