Big 3 coverage: Trump Accusers vs. Wikileaks emails

Is there a liberal media? Well of course there is. Is there a conservative media? absolutely! Yet, It's interesting to see the conservatives rightfully criticize liberal bias in the media but hypocritically ignore the conservative bias as found in "news" organizations such as FAUX.

We also must consider the degree of bias. Yes there are more negative stories about Trump than Hillary, but why? Is liberal bias to blame? Sure, to a degree, but come off it, Trump is a treasure trove of bull**** - you can't help but criticize him.

Tell that to the black population in the US, or the abused homosexuals, or the Muslims that are discriminated against or women in general.... there are a lot of Trumps out there.

And yet.... every time one of these "special" population groups can even be perceived (often via lies when it comes to the black lies matter crowd) to have been a victim of something, it is nation wide news.

But......the WAYYY out of proportion black on white violence that occurs every day across the country..... IGNORED.

Maybe the president of the United States could better explain how oppressed black people are in America. Or the number of black millionaires, black doctors, black lawyers, black cops, black homeowners, blacks...very successful and very free. The same can be said for homosexuals, women, Latinos, etc.

Your comment was and remains, beyond stupid.

'A few'?


Geeeeezus I wish leftists would get their story straight. Not too long ago Trump talked about how bad it is for blacks and leftists **** themselves over his 'generalization'. But when they are convenient to be used by you, they are still slaves.

Blacks have a higher than average unemployment rate...but the vast majority of them work. The vast majority of them own homes. more than a few are quite successful. That doesnt downplay the reality that some...even a large number of them...struggle. But your imposing slavery on black Americans today is just plain ****ing stupid.

Equality is equal opportunity, not equal outcomes.

Not all <Insert Any Classification of Person Here> are successful. That is just the way it goes.

Despite my dislike of President Obama as a politician.... He worked hard to be a masterful orator and campaigner.... He.. WORKED... HARD... and he earned his success.

Despite my dislike of Apple's products...... the CEO Tim Cook worked HARD through the ranks of various IT companies to become the CEO of one of the most influential IT companies in the world. And he is Gay.

These are just a few examples, but the point remains that hard work and dedication to success usually leads to success. Sometimes people still fail.

Unfortunately, Liberals are telling everyone except White Males that it is okay to blame racism, sexism, homophobia, etc on their failures rather than telling them to accept the fact that you won't always be successful no matter who you are.

He didn't say "a few".

But say. Do you have statistics on the relative number of Gypsies in the EU parliament and how many Commissioners? Or in the member states? I have never seen any statistics.

Maybe if they actually found an email with some very juicy gossip you'd see them report on it more. The media is driven by sensationalism and what gets people's attention. If you can't understand why nearly a dozen women accusing a candidate for sexual assault right after we find a tape of him bragging about getting away with sexual assault isn't more juicy to talk about than a bunch of nuanced emails like "oh my god, she said in a speech that sometimes she has to carry herself differently in public than she does in private meetings!"

The biggest news story by far from these emails is that many in the right wing seem perfectly content in Russia trying to sabotage our elections.

If you can't understand why they are reporting more on Trump's accusers right now than these stupid emails then that's your problem, because it should be painfully obvious. And it's not just cause they are a bunch of meanie liberals.

Its funny that you consider exposing the Clinton campaign for what they are as "sabotage".

I tend to call it, "Giving us the transparency we are always promised"

Well, I would call it sabotage anytime a foreign government hacks one of our political parties then sits on the emails til a month before the election with the obvious intent of affecting the outcome to the one they deem favorable for them. It doesn't matter which party or which candidate. Unless there is some other reason to hack and release this info, especially when none of the info shows anything even remotely illegal going on, just the typical inner workings of a campaign, then it is an attempt to sabotage the election. If you honestly see no problem with the general idea of a foreign country hacking and releasing our political candidates and parties data with the intention of affecting our election then I think you've shown that your opinion on anything of any imporance simply doesn't matter.

Is she a part of a foreign government? No
Did she obtain/transmit any of this info illegally? No
Etc. etc.

I don't think you understand what you are being told if you seem to think that two very different things are the same simply because of timing.

Is it still "sabotage" under your previously stated definition?
Yes.

I have less of a problem with Russia showing us how the Clinton campaign really operated with it comes to "controlling" the media stories, IN THEIR OWN WORDS than I have with a bunch of women "coming out" some 10-30 years later with sex allegations with no proof that they occurred.

Do you see the bolded part? The whole part about "hacking" which makes it illegal? I'm assuming you just missed that part?

Because they are all complicit in manipulating the public perception. Truth be damned, it's the perception they are interested in.
