This is a call to war against Trump, to redo the campaign against Nixon. I don't think it will work.

And the press is now a mess. He's trying to rally the troops of a depleted army.

Anyone who believes this story honestly doesn't understand the media.

Back in TOSs hayday we used to post lots of articles from liberal sources so we could pick them apart and ridicule them.  What has happened to us that we recently decided that posting an article means we agree with it or the source?

I used to use sources like Politico at forums where we let liberals post because it took away their claims of biased sources.

I only point out the source because the same person using Politico as a source ridicules it when you or I link to it.

Given my comment, I don't see how @txradioguy could have seen agreement.
