Work together? He didn't even get invited to dinner. Hillary represents the exact opposite of everything Bernie stands for. Big banks and money on wall Street. Billionaires like Trump continuing to receive huge breaks and pay no taxes. With Trump, tax breaks are eliminated, and the 1% start paying their fair share. Taxes go down, and more people invest. The larger our economy, the more skin in the game. The more skin in the game, the more tax revenue collected. Should I keep going, or do you get the picture?

He also like'd your post, does that mean I should discount the content of it?

Again, this is also a big part of the same problem. Do you really want a media that vies to shmooze politicians for access or one that holds them accountable for the bullshit they constantly spew?

"Hillary did it but Trump would do it too!!" isn't a goddamn argument against Hillary doing it for fucks sake! I'm so goddamn sick of this argument being presented as if it's at all valid!

It's not really an 'argument'. I just can't envision what was said at that dinner as 'collusion'.

Go through that list again and tell me none of those people ever criticise Clinton. Ratings run the news cycle, not dinners. She smiled at them, fed them, befriended them and that's it.

Unless you know something I don't, that's perfectly acceptable. Did she give them all $100K and tell them what to say? I just don't see it as a big deal.

Same thing, really, do you think these reporters were bought off by dinner at Podesta's home. There are plenty of other examples to show how the press is manipulated by the political establishment. An off the record dinner sounds very civilized compared to the other shit that's gone down. It's completely reasonable to do this.

It wasn't in a posh resort
It wasn't some travel junket
There were no big party favors

The list above is far too common and where I'd draw the line. Dinner at John Podesta's home is not.

So, no. Sitting down to dinner is an important thing for people who are going to be together for a long time to do. I have much more respect for Podesta knowing that he hosted this dinner.

I'm not really sure what to say about this because I wholeheartedly feel the opposite. I don't believe members of the media responsible for reporting unbiased, objective news to the American people should be cordially associating with the same people they're responsible for reporting on. Regardless of your political affiliation, this presents a pretty clear cut case of bias.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan were both exposed as establishment GOP post 2012 election. Just to get the record straight.... I'm Not GOP, and never have been

ummmm, really?

i could have swore that romney's dad was the governor of michigan and a contended for the GOP nomination, and that mitt romney was a lifelong GOP politician and governor of utah.

i guess you didn't get the memo until after the election.

LOL

Substance bro. I feel the enthusiasm, but you've gotta give me substance. Otherwise, I have nothing to respond to.

based on the speed of sound and your massive, massive fatness, you could probably respond to yourself. it takes that long for words to travel from your mouth hole (aka food repository) to your ears.

You know that both parties used to get together for dinner and drinks all the time. Was that collusion?
Reagan and Tip O'Neal were good buddies after hours. They'd cut each other to the bone to reporters, then get drunk together. Good thing we didn't have all these moron conspiracy shadow chasers back then.

Yes, of course it was. Political elites have been colluding long before you and I have been alive. Don't trust me, look it up for yourself

Do you have a problem with unbiased reporting from mainstream journalists?

If you do, do you see no issue with journalists who hold personal relationships with those they report on reporting on them?

Well, we're all a little biased. CNN seems objective. They will put Trump speeches on for extended periods, run email pieces for 30 minutes at a time, and let both side analysts argue with equal time.

Since I'm biased, I like when they agree with me and not so much when they don't. But I can accept that. Fox sucks though, and MSNBC exaggerates too much.
