   Anybody still wonder why Trumps at war with the lameness of our news media ?  The media started all this yet they won't end it or even admit it . Never to be forgotten  by the real progressives either .

      When you can't present a valid argument in defense of your ideas, insults are always the fall back.

         But only really from the left .  Conservatives don't usually go down the hate -highway by nature and by nature being the lesser hate exibitionaist's platform , the right merely has always politically turned the other cheek . Interesting to see what lessens the right will use though this fall and in in 2020 .
         
         Have we "learned from the best" about dirty politics ?

            Ummm, I've seen plenty of right leaning people resort to insults in political discussions.

               Except the Limbaugh's , the Alex Jones will never sit in the white house asking juveneilish  attention- seeking questions .

                  Better sound General Quarters! ahorseback. I think including Alex Jones in that thought is more than a bit risky. Have you followed his recent travails?

                     No , believe it or not I haven't and don't listened to the extremists .  Since Paul Harvey days in fact  I don't consider very many of the ego-centrists as being politically informative and certainly not middle media .  Jones , Limbaugh  , they're too far out for me .    Now , that extremism comparison from the left however , is present in their mainstream media roles , in the white house presses , on TV , not on the fringes .  Contrary to what most here believe , I'm more an independant and have simply a very critical eye on media , if we don't have fair and balance in media ,we may as well be all reading the Russian  Pravda .

      He did say "some of them," which I'm certain is a fact. Of course, the statement would apply to some non-Trump voters, too.
      
      By the way,  I thought you were done with outrage politics?

         "Outrage politics "has everything to do with the Acosta's and those who see in him the norm for news media,  including you .     He must have been given instructions to stir  the pot of civility in the WH press core , he's media moron let's face it .

            Well, I would never have known about Acosta's comment had you not posted about it here, and when I googled it, it  was headlined in right-wing media sources. Isn't that a form of outrage politics, focusing on a relatively minor comment by one guy and spreading indignation all over the internet and elsewhere?

               He does this ALL the time , it' isn't the right wing pointing it out , all you have to do is watch a press core meeting a few times to see the circus act on the Never Trumpers in media . While a world of  real issues  works behind their backs to  inhibit  political progress .
               
               Name any social , cultural political problem or issue of importance today and watch them be ignored by your media .
