    Oh, so "Russian interference" is in quotes, but cheating in the primaries is an established fact?
    Methinks you watch too much RT material, comrade.

    The quotes were for delineation, not dismissal.

    And I don't watch RT, at all.

    One more wrong guess and you strike out....

    Fair enough.
    But you did endorse them as an information source on American foreign policy. Which kind of suggests that you watch at least their YouTube clips.
    Also, you listened to Sputnik once. It is part of Rossiya Segodnya holding - separate from the identically-named RT, but under the same ownership. So there.

    Oh noes!

    Have I seen their content ever? Yes. Does that mean I watch RT? No.

    FFS, having heard their content once definitely doesn't mean I listen to them. Stop being ridiculous.

    Nope Steve, the science is settled. Not only are you a Russian hacker and agent, you might be Sputnik reincarnated. Know how I know he's right? Because he said, "so there". So there? What's next, he's going to call you poopey head? Coming down heavy with the I'm rubber you're glue defense?


    By attacking probably one of the only actually principled posters on this forum just shows how much of a rapid sycophantic political hack he really is.

    I've seen their content "once". I do not recommend them as information source to people.

    But I guess technically you're right, you do not "watch" it. Still, cynical false equivalence is exactly what they push, so understandable mistake on my part. I'll concede they're not the only ones.

    "Political hack" is a promotion, I guess. Especially a "rapid" one.

    Having never been to any business school, never mind Wharton, I can't say. I suspect neither can you.

    Against Hillary?? That's the funniest thing I've seen all day.

    These approval ratings are no doubt put forth by the same organizations that gave Hillary a 90% chance of winning the White House.

    There was absolutely no reason for Sessions to recuse himself, other than he wanted to pander to the media. Which, as he's finding out, never works for a Republican.

    I would bet dimes to dollars that no one on this board who's not attending the U of Cumberlands has ever heard of any of your professors. Trump? Even before he ever entertained the idea of running for President, he was known internationally.

    I think he's done just fine with his leadership skills.

    What a ridiculous criterion. Kim Jong-un is also "known internationally", so apparently that makes him a great leader also?

    You shouldn't pretend to be ignorant Bruce, people might start to believe it's true.

    He built a bazillion-dollar corporation, and while the media does their best to ignore it, most of his employees seem to love him. I'd say that's a much more tangible indicator of leadership skills than teaching it.

    I've never attended a business school and probably never will. I definitely will never attend Wharton. I've also never and probably never will start a business that becomes a massive, profitable corporation.

    I freely admit when I don't know something, i.e. when I'm ignorant about it. You should try it sometime.

    Makes me wonder if Steve Bannon is next on the chopping block since he was part of Saramucci's tirade, see below:
    Saramucci
    "He also compared himself favorably to Trump's chief strategist, saying, "I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to suck my own c---. I'm not trying to build my own brand off the f---ing strength of the president."

    Apparently, Trump wasn't displeased with Saramucci's vulgar attacks.

    You don't need to go to business school to know that publicly humiliating your subordinates is not an effective management strategy. You know that, I know that, but Trump seems to have slept through that class. He's really just a bully.

    Really?

    It seems to be working.

    My hometown newspaper vanished when they were bought out by Gatehouse Media.

    In any case, that's an opinion piece by 2 writers from the Associated Press. Which also predicted a Hillary Clinton landslide victory.

    Yours also is "an opinion piece" and you've offered no criticism of the substance of the article. Instead, you've offered a bit of twisted logic that goes like this

    The Associated Press predicted a Clinton victory in 2016. Because they were wrong about that, their entire organization, including every journalist who writes for them, is discredited forever and on every subject. I can simply dismiss everything written by the AP

    That's just a little bit crazy.

    I don't bother reading or watching most of the mainstream media these days. They've proven time and time and time again that they're ridiculously biased, to the point that they're a bad joke. I can think of a bunch of other things to do with my time that are more productive, such as watching reruns on the Cartoon Network (which recently beat CNN in the ratings, BTW).

    If you want to talk crazy, one definition of insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, expecting a different result. Apparently the left hasn't gotten the message, since they're still peddling lies, fabrications, and distortions in an attempt to make Republicans look bad. From the forged National Guard memos about Bush 43 to the completely fabricated "water sports dossier" about Trump, the media have proven that have all the self-control of a bratty 2 year-old child.

    So, until they prove otherwise, yes, they're discredited in my eyes.
