Disgusting, Matt Lauer interviewing Trump

Last edited Tue Mar 22, 2016, 08:40 AM - Edit history (1)

about what he would have done concerning the Brussels attacks. Trump is trashing Belgium and liberals. Matt is shameful pressing him to talk about tourture etc.

Yeah, I tuned in because I wanted to see what the fascist had to say. They gave him 25 minutes of airtime. He ratcheted up the xenophobia to levels I've never before seen.

He's going to give the terrorists a big old "pep talk." (He really said that, I cracked up.)

11. I know I should watch Trump to be informed about what he's saying and how it will play.

But I can't. I just can't.

I surfed past Fox earlier and saw he was on, figuring the xenophobia was up to about 100,000 RPM. Really looking forward to the coverage as the day goes on.

Lauer, et al, never push back with facts about how ineffective it is.

On msnbc, Brian Williams is interviewing Malcolm Nance, Dir. Terror Assymmetrics Project, who spent time with US military in the ME, former Military Intelligence. Nance says no way will the generals follow an order like that to torture because of the blowback on the military. Nance says Trump's bluster is probably being taped, edited, for recruitment right now. Said Trump is being irresponsible.

9. Again -- the media adds to the problem.

Donald Trump knows about as much about counterintelligence and counterterrorism, and about international security, as my Dachshund who is currently laying at my feet. Yet, he and his asinine opinions are being trotted out, again. The man on MSNBC (executive director of the Terror Asymmetrics Project) is about to come out of his chair about how irresponsible and damaging this is.

Again, media: Stop it with treating Trump's opinions as knowledgeable fact! Stop thinking of your ratings and entertainment factor for once in your sorry existences!

Trump will already gain from this tragedy today. The media does NOT need to help him do so.
