During the Reagan administration it was considered bad form for anyone prominent to even acknowledge a media bias. We all knew it was there but you were might be called a whiner if you complained.

For a little perspective...

Reagan? Oh, he use to be one of 'em too.

Pathetic.

Especially when you have Trump on the record as trashing Reagan...specifically his tax cuts that led to the greatest period of economic success this country has ever witnessed.

You suck as a hack propagandist.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Reagan was the right president for his time, and Donald Trump for his.

There was still an expectation of civility in Reagan’s day. Not so much today, which is why Donald Trump is the right man at the right time. He will fight back.

2 different eras alright. Still, the DNC did some nasty things back in the day as well. Ted Kennedy talking to the Soviets and the way, Bork was blocked from the Supreme Court.

They think they are geniuses and ask us to just forget and dismiss all the interviews and statements Trump made, because you know - you and I are not SMART enough to understand that even back then, Trump was playing dimensional chess for this moment in time.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

These are the same people who were backing Noot in 2012 (who also trashed Reagan's tax cuts).

You and Sighlass seem to be forgetting here.  It's the NY Slimes.   You know... the leftist rag that hates and loathes Trump (and every other non-leftist).   You really think they would keep "anonymous" the name of Trump if it were Trump?   Catch a clue and get a grip on reality.

Who do you think you are talking to? I know and you can bet Chosen knows exactly who the NY sLimes is.  Traitorous scum for decades now is what they are. I keep this little comic picture in my political folder as a reminder.



I guess I wasn't too clear, I was mostly being sarcastic showing that some of the theories being thrown out are way out there (Pence did it?)

I agree it is highly unlikely of course, as someone mentioned (and I concur), Trump does not exactly deal with criticism very well, thus the likelihood of doing this is remote at best, and if done, Trump had to have help doing it. So yeah, it wasn't serious. I guess I need to make my " reality clues" more obvious so others "can catch a clue".

Yahoo's headline today is that Vice President Pence is the author of the anonymous article.  They base this solely on the use of the term 'lodestar.'

Pence is the last person who would write a treacherous screed like this.

But the idiot left is never satisfied just trashing Trump, you know.  They will go after his whole damned cabinet before it's over.

This is the same Yahoo that posted an article used as evidence to secure a warrant from the FIS Court.  Fake news.

If I remember correctly, Yahoo doesn't have a comments feature, but you can hit the Twitter or FB button and make your comments there.  They should be shamed as much as possible.

So-called conservatives who are hoping for the Democrats to regain power to teach Trump and his supporters a lesson are playing with a fire that will burn down the Republic.

But there's never been anything like the unprecedented hatred this president receives from the legacy media. Its probably because there are other voices available now that weren't there when Reagan was president thats driven them over the edge.

Oh bullcrap. They did the same dang thing to Bush. SOSDD.

I believe a large amount of the negative coverage this President receives is self-inflicted:  his lies/falsehoods, poorly thoughtout policy, pettiness, childish name-calling, and attacks against his own appointees/departments all receive the press I think they deserve.  I truly believe his negative coverage would go down if he stopped doing and saying stupid things, but I think there's no chance of that happening.

That part of the equation is likely true - IF he gets it worse than others, that'd be a large part of why.

Perhaps Melania is now plagiarizing Pence.
Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing! - James Tiberius Kirk

We choose neither.  We done told you that.  Countless times.

We spit on your notions of 'us or them'.

Now if you want to then say that we will be counted as Democrats for whatever tyrannical punishment you and your mob will seek to inflict on us 'enemies of the state' - so be it.

Be it known, as we tell the militant Leftists, we will be waiting for any fanatical idiots with such grand delusions to make that last mistake.  Since your kind says they will make no distinction between us or the Leftists, we likewise will make no distinction between you or the Communist Revolutionistas should you come calling.
