BJinMontreal Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 So the journalist in question entered the candidate's office without permission and shoved a recorder in his face? Whatever happened to a person's right to privacy? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While reporters are running around in a furious snit, the only people who still can't see the truth are quite possibly hopeless by now. They might be hopelessly brainwashed, or, they might be hopelessly corrupted, hopelessly unable to think for themselves, or hopelessly obtuse. Hopelessly lazy, or hopelessly angry, It really doesn't matter though, because anyone that can't see the main stream media are a bunch of self-serving, arrogant, puppets for the elites who only want the rest of us to die, then they can quite possibly be just plain old hopelessly stupid. And now, I wonder, after the "mighty" newspaper pulled their o so "esteemed" endorsement, and not only did the entire world continue to spin, but, the republican killed the election, how long did that paper scream in hopeless rage, cursing the unwashed masses for the insolent betrayal, gnashing their teeth, and shaking in abject indignation, how satisfying for us commoners, to shove that haughty arrogance down the papers throat, publicly humiliating them on the global stage. How was it I wonder, when all those reporters were venting their rage at the office, only to realize after hours of emotional and heartfelt venting, only to suddenly realize, yes, the MSM are now the feckless ones....

pattyangel Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 The people of Montana have spoken. No need for endorsements from the whiny media who can't be ethical enough to report truth...instead they force their false narrative at all cost. The newly elected Representative should counter charges against the Guardian. Got to stop this apologizing crap, stop trying to appease the media. The journalist was also a contributor in this situation. If he was asked to leave and refused and continue to harass, JMO and, well that's a horse of a different colors. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
