Headlines on CNN never look like this when discussing GOP

What Rashida Tlaib gets totally wrong about attacking Donald Trump - CNNPolitics

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/04/politics/rashida-tlaib-donald-trump/index.html

Sure, they talk about trump that way, or maybe Paul Ryan on his way out... but do you ever see “what Lindsay Graham gets totally wrong about...”

“what Mitch McConnell gets totally wrong about life...”

“what Marco Rubio gets totally wrong about spines...”

Fill in the blank of headlines there ought to be.
“what (GOP politician) gets totally wrong about ...”

1. The idea that CNN is part of the liberal media is nonsense. What reporting has CNN ever done about

the millions who have lost healthcare thanks to Trump and the GOP? CNN is somewhere to the far right because it did more than most to put a racist in the White House.

Liberal thinking is the essence of education and mental enlightenment of mankind. The gop...erm, the American Taliban is being exposed. From the top down. Hopefully, we can really turn America around.

pops off about.
I'd think this brings into question every appointment he's made bc they ALL seem to have been appointed as an extension of their desire to destroy this country. Destroy us. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh Im looking at yous. Garland and HRC need to be given the seats they should have but not for the treasonous chicanery.
You know? Maybe he's been at the Whitehouse bc he's in pre-trial detainment and is under secret house arrest? (Secret filings and etc.) Stranger things have happened. House arrest unless it's emergency govt work? We can dream.
Anyone else remember how badly they attacked the FISA system and how the gop congress really wanted to know that process? Wonder how much they sold that information for? They possibly revealed American Assets overseas...Back in 2017. Who knows.

to find the liberal media, like DU and Raw Story, etc, or go to Sirius radio, 127 is one of the channels I recall offhand.

10. These are opinions and should be marked as such

We see several along the lines of
"It would be a mistake for Democrats to do anything to inconvenience rich assholes" by some rich asshole.
"Democrats are divided and bitterly fighting within their chaotic party" by some Republican.
"Here's what Democrats should do to be successful" by some Republican

It's not news! It's just like this BS:

"Young people are ruining the world" by some old person.
"Don't bother going to college" by some asshole who got wealthy with several degrees
"Young people are having wild and dangerous sex" by some old pervert
"Racism and sexism ended decades ago, people are just too lazy and entitled" by some lazy entitled asshole who doesn't want to lose his privileges

If Chris Cillizza says Rashida Tlaib is doing it wrong, then she's doing it absolutely right.

12. The M$M is not our friend.

Allow me to repeat this example once more;

Fox said that Obama beat his wife
CNN said they need more information
MSNBC said no he didn't.

Which is the liberal cable news network?

None of them because they are all talking about the same narrative.

If we had an impartial M$M, Trump would be impeached by now, well, he wouldn't even have been elected.

I will say that there are some cable news hosts who stray from the narrative, Nicole Wallace, Chris Hayes, Rachel, Don Lemon, and even at times Shep Smith.

Bill Maher is back Friday.

a handicap, as if the poor people aren't operating on an equal playing field. Of course, mostly they are afraid of republicans criticizing them, god forbid, for exercising a "liberal bias". Sometimes it is so easy to intimidate the mainstream media.

I remember during the Bush years, guest appearances on cable news programs were 2 to 1 republicans over Democrats. Everyone was so afraid of criticizing the administration for fear of being accused of being unpatriotic.
