Be clear on deficit versus debt. A deficit surplus has to be APPLIED to the debt to lower it.

Really? Hillary lies on the record more than 6 times a day? That's impressive, if true!

Let the people judge, not lawyers who couldn't compete in the private sector.

These Know-It-All Nobodies Bloviate Trickle-Down Narratives
Jurinalists, even though they have scant and superficial knowledge of grammar, logic, and history, consider themselves to be far above the public and isolate themselves from having any contact with normal people. They have brainwashed themselves into thinking that the public is only there to be instructed and preached to about the pontificating presstitutes' self-styled special access to the truth behind daily life. They are bitter misfits who take out their resentment on real people, who rejected them from childhood on. Jurinalism School was a safe-space echo chamber where their wounded egos were healed and inflated, swelling to megalo proportions.
Are you really this obtuse? A thread concerning Trump's attack on the media and you defend by attacking the media?
Ignorant comment. Most lawyers do compete in the private sector. The ones who become appellate or scotus judges are saome of the best, many with stellar careers in the private sector.
The OP is a 'woe is me' recitation of how Trump is going to destroy the free press.
I merely culled out a phrase buried in there as to how the Washington press needs a "adversarial posture"
on how that is effectively done. (advocacy journalism)
What that shows is the press isn't interested in investigations or promoting transparency;
instead the fake news press wants to see itself as a dragon slayer of Trump malicious intents.
It's bupkis.
By becoming advocacy/adversarial journalist, they are not journalists at all-
but merely active players against Trump. There is no noble intent. There is only a thirst for power plays
Yes, I agree you did defend the most repulsive liar to mob the airwaves with patent lies in history by attacking the press.
I'll meet you this far and no further, the press needs to critique the government and every administration for truth at all times,
not only when the most mendacious scumbag liar ever happens to be in office.
The adversarial nature is what it is because the press is doing its job. It just so happens that the lie mop up operation
is yuge because the liar in chief creates the most garbage.
He is scum, and if you don't see that, basically, so are you. Yuck.
there is nothing to meet. you mis-characterize the nature of press to power.
Yes there is an adversarial,but only to the point of the press's function of getting the story (transparency).
The press is not supposed to be a part of the story, other then the quality of the reporting.
When the press itself ( it's handling of news with bias and for use as political power) becomes part of the story
the press is becoming a political player. It becomes willing to engage in fake news to further it's goals.
You are lying about what is happening. Trump is making the press part of the story by attacking it.
The fake news comes from Fox, Limbaugh, Bannon, and all the crap garbage tabloid shit consumed by the right.
The left is covering Trumps lies and calling him what he is, a liar. That's not fake news.
I agree with the analysis of the Nation article 100 % and you zero. Keep exposing Trump's lies 100 percent. In fact dbl down.
That is the correct action to restore faith in mainstream media. He is a clown, white nationalist, sexual harasser, racist, xenophobe, fascist and liar, and history will rightfully
record him as the worst president in US history

If Nixon had been a Democrat, Woodward and Bernstein wouldn't have gone after him for Watergate.
