Here the fuck we go again.

Main Stream Media conflating Dem's with Trump and his Republican Cronies on matters of Russian Collusion!

Jesus Christ this isn't even a close call... Trump's Collusion is all about attempts to manipulate the election...while Dems were interested in obtaining info (Dossier) concerning Trump before election..

2 incredibly huge distinctions...Ya think?

They don't care about the truth, or the future of the U.S.—just like the GOP, it's all about dollars.

They want to be able to have a seat in the room where it happens. They have to kowtow to this administration or risk being booted from the room.

The garbage they put out. Its like joe and mika constantly saying trump is a democrat. You two morons helped get him elected. Hes not a democrat, and never has been. Hes a sociopath, and the people who follow him are brainwashed, or lunatics.

No critical thinking and criticism of trmp's obviously nervous claims.

When Trump and the Republicans were at the center of controversy.

Add mention of Democrats and suddenly they're conflating.

Liberal media my chunky ass.

To the TV jerks ( with notable but few exceptions such as Rachel) It’s all about the political game and not ideas or in this case the article treason.

Trying to get info about Trump was a horrendous crime while Trump colluding with Russians to swing the election is something to be proud of because it's so unexpected.

That's how Republicans see it.

Reality has been gradually eliminated on that side of the aisle for years so that now they truly live in Superman's Bizarro world where everything is the opposite of what is real.
For real.

Every serious politician, Democratic and Republican, has done this, and will continue to do so. It's just standard stuff. Who knew that Democratic researchers would uncover peeing hookers, for christ's sake?

At what point do all Dems unite and fight back against all MSM media channels that promote this same toxic, reckless, lazy and ignorant MSM bothsiderism that enabled Trump to become President?

Call you the station's local or national news director every time you hear them do it.. Also their sponsor's hq every time you hear them do it. This shitshow cannot be allowed again. Dems have millions upon millions of phones...let's use them.
