MSM? Stop letting lying Rethugs get away with hijacking interviews.

Republican’s are gonna use the same fucking tactic they have been using for years...

When being confronted with facts on their new bill.. They will take every angle, every side road, every piece of
bullshit they can gather to avoid answering questions regarding their healthcare bill..But it goes father then that...They are prepared to lie, make up numbers which are complete bullshit and not let the interviewer get a word in edgewise.

Their tactics have been around for many years ... Called the Gish Gallop...

It’s time we call em out for not only their lies, but the tactics they use to obfuscate every issue they are asked about.

Come on MSM...Stop allowing them a platform to lie and misdirect and call them out on every false number they throw out when they are being interviewed ..

Watch this Cnn reporter try to hold Marsha Blacburn’s feet to the fire..She wasn’t bad..but let that piece of shit Blackburn off the hook..way too often

Just repeat the exact same question in the same intonation, same volume, same inflection till you get an answer. Don't show on iota of emotion or acquiescence.

It disgusts me that they will even grin or smirk as though it is somehow "funny" or "cute".

Blackburn is a disgusting, low-life skanky nit wit that gets away with this shit everytime she goes on the air...and they keep inviting her back. WTF!

Quit giving this ass air time. She should be ashamed of herself but instead she is very pleased with herself for making a mockery of the very "crooked mainstream media" that they defile.

Stop the fucking crazy cycle already!
