So CNN graphic reports Northam is a Republican?

How can anyone seriously watch CNN?
Replies to: So CNN graphic reports Northam is a Republican?
Now he's denying it was him in
the pictures. You can't make this shit up, unless of course you are a Democrat. Then it's all good
Does he realize that makes it worse?
“I have burglarized so many houses in my career as a thief ..... I cannot recall whether I burglarized that house?”
I am happy that the Dems were quick to call for his resignation - kudos. They now need to look
internally at who knew about this, because it is implausible to believe that this sort of thing just "slipped through the cracks" with the internal vetting etc. There were 2 separate yearbooks - from college and then from med school which had racist stuff, and after the Kavanaugh hearings, they all knew the can of worms they had opened with yearbooks.
Dems should have gotten a list of 65 black folks to sign a letter that Northam isn't racist.
Meanwhile, Republicans still aren't calling for Steven King to resign after he endorsed white supremacy.
Glad to see how selective you guys are when calling out racism.
"Black folks"?!! Really? Nice to see the party of Sen Robert Byrd is throwing racial stones so soon

I think your outrage meter needs a tune up
Calling black people black is not racist.
Not outraged at all, just shaking my head. Go try that one out in the real world, see how it goes.
Calling people black or white or asian or Downs is not racist, but that isn't what you did, is it?
Are you missing my analogy to the Kavanaugh letter?
I'm confused, b/c I thought it was clear I was being sarcastic.
No, I got it.

An (R) appeared next to his name for less than 15 seconds.
Is this really new-thread-worthy?
During his apology.

Correct. And tell us how that happens, and why it always happens to benefit Dems or hurt R's?

Are you now conceding that the public can be misled?
Can we assume that an orchestrated cyber and media attack by a foreign adversary to disseminate false and misleading information is something that Americans should guard against?
Isn’t that what elections are for?

Not by the "attacks" that the russians did (as per their routine every election). It was a paltry
effort involving implausible, over the top accusations that only the already indoctrinated would use to confirm their feelings further....and it involved only a few hundred thousand dollars from reports i had read. Further, there is evidence that trump had anything to do with it. Further, there is evidence that Russia was behind some of the Resistance rallies after Trump was elected as well.
There is no question that the russians have been doing this stuff in our elections for a while. And, in fact, so have we. Putin was mad at Hillary when she stuck her nose in his politics while SoS. Also, Obama actively sent political advisor and financial resources to Israel to try to defeat Netenyahu.
But there is NO evidence that DJT was involved. There IS evidence that Hillary and the Obama DOJ were involved with Russia in the creation, dissemination, and use of the Dossier to attack Trump however.
So to your question, yes it is possible in some widespread, effective cases, but no, it was not the case here.
If Mueller was worth anything, he would investigate the DOJ and the Dossier which was used to aid in getting a FISA on Trump. But he didn't recuse himself over his close friendship professionally and personally with a principal in the investigation (Comey), and he hired a team of radical liberal goons. He hired a guy like Weisman with a history of SCOTUS rebuke on previous cases and he raids old men in their homes at 5 AM. i don't expect he will do his job here.
Conspiracy! Fake news! Persecution!

Give an example where a CNN mistake hurt Dems and helped R's. Volume of one sided "errors" of CNN is
statistically impossible to claim that it occurs by chance anymore. Any person with a high schoolmathematics background could tell you this.
Was Fox equally guilty when they did the same damn thing?
People make mistakes, especially when the pressure for instant news is high.
This is all bullshit.
Of course the conservative persecution complex (which exists in all countries, at all times) makes it impossible to see that.

I'd like to think we can put to bed the media persecution complex.
It is the pansiest of complaints.
Did this really hurt the R's?
You don't think there is an overwhelming amount of news that this is a Democrat?
Ever been in an airport? CNN to millions moving along. they see the screen and move on & many
never see more on it. The airport is just one example, but it does represent CNN's largest group of viewers- a captured audience. Most people don't follw news like we do.
This was not something that was going to change the overall result, but it was a move to mitigate damage - esp among the faithful. Particularly the AA comunites whom they don't want to notice this, the job numbers, and the question trump asked them....after all of thes years of supporting the Dems with no improvement, what have you got to lose?"
that quote by trump sent shivers down the spine of the Dem party leadership.
Yes, the plan was to influence casual viewers in airports! How devious!
Thank God we have you and Hannity to sniff this evil plot out.
You may know of plan. I was giving a factual example to a Q which exposes millions. Now answer my Q
Name one time when a CNN mistake hurt Dems and helped R's. Every one of the many recurrent "mistakes" by the apparently mistake-prone CNN is harmful to conservatives and /or helpful to liberals. Every one. Show me otherwise. The odds are hugely stacked in your favor with my challenge since CNN may still have 100 "mistakes" hurting conservatives, but all you have to do is find an actual mistake of theirs that went the other way, and you will win.
So you are saying there were NO media mistakes during the Obama years?
When those mistakes happened, lefties yelled “racism!”
And on it goes.
Not to mention he was probably Republican at the time he donned the shoe polish.
Apparently voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004, before he turned to the dark side (D).
Is that when Trump was a Dem?

The Dems used that fact to try to primary him way back when.
Which do you think is worse? Explaining away Trump's past, or Northam's past?

Has Norty been accused by multiple women of sex assault?

Interesting. You pick the white hood as being better to defend. Anyone else?

Try not to put the bunny in the hat. Both are wrong and not defensible.
Committing and bragging about multiple crimes is worse than the photo.
I think the guy should resign as should Orange have as a candidate when the tape came out.
You, on the other hand, will castigate Norty while trying to come up with some tortured Jesuitical defense as to why he should resign, but Trump shouldn’t have.
Better to defend? You started with "which do you think is worse".
I'll go with this answer - Sexual Assault is worse than wearing an old-fashioned MAGA hat. Neither is particularly worthy of defense.
Well yeah, that would be the objective response. But Ned has his political lens for everything.

Perhaps he did this because the Democratic candidates
we're such losers at the time?
Same journalstic standards as Josef Goebbels.

Odd how their “errors” always work in just one direction, isn’t it? They also know that a large
Portion of their audience will never realize ti was intentional fake down the road because they don’t pay much attention.
Lib Rule #1: Accuse others of that which you are/do.
More CNN Fake News.

This is another algorithm I've worked out. See if it makes sense.
/A photo surfaces with you in blackface/
10 Are you a Democrat? If yes, then goto 50
20 Are you a Republican? If Yes, goto 40, If no, then goto 30.
30 Yes you are. Stop lying.
40 You are a racist. /end
50 Are you sure it's you? If no, then goto 70.
60 Goto 50.
70 We didn't think so either. Not a racist. /end
