And I find it perplexing that you found the need to use Fox News as a response to my overall comment on the media.You quote my post, but this isn't actually a response to my post. You constantly cry media bias, yet Foxnews is the highest rated news network in the US. Foxnews is flagrantly pro GOP. What do you disagree with?
[font=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Also, it's rather bizarre how the Left somehow considers it a FAIR FIGHT in Fox News (and I ll throw in the Wall Street Journal for good measure VERSUS CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC, NPR, PBS, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, the LA Times, the New York Daily News, the Boston Globe, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Chicago Tribune, the Huffington Post, Slate, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Reuters, The Examiner, Politico, Google News, BBC America, and a whole host of others. [/font]
No one said anything about a cover-up. The comment was made regarding the media frenzy we would be witnessing if an attempt was made on Clinton or Sander's life. [font=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I've read the coverage of the attempt on Trump s life. A few paragraphs that seemingly were shared between all the major news outlets and done with the hard hitting journalistic dedication equal to that of the annual Santa visit to the local shopping mall. I think there would be little doubt we would be subject to round-the-clock stories about an attempt on a democrat, ad nauseum, with pictures of the evildoer shown every five minutes, in depth reporting, a hoard of expert criminologists and psychologists analyzing the assailants motives, and news crews jetting off to the UK to interview the attacker s family and friends[/font]The Trump assassination attempt is currently on the homepages of BBC News and even MSNBC (with a small headline on CNN), I'm not seeing any cover-up.
I remember one in particular. Hillary Clinton told of a hair-raising tale of a trip she made to Bosnia in March 1996.I'm also pretty certain Clinton has had multiple attempted assassinations during her career.
[font=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base." [/font]
[font=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]She wouldn't lie to us, would she? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)[/font]
[font=Open Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]There is even video of this hair-raising event. I'll post it if you like.

I remember it, and as I recall Sanders wasn't in the campaign HQ at the time?I have also shown you the incident from January where bullets were fired at Sanders' campaign HQ.
Again, I've shown you 10-12 links from reputable sources both in the US and outside of it. You seem to have chosen to ignore them, or just entirely missed them.
I read most of them, and I feel it only supports my claim regarding the media, which you apparently chose to ignore.
The Washington Post ran the headline last week, "Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting." A blatant lie and proof of media bias against Trump.If you can show examples of all of those sources being highly biased against Trump (note: not cheerleading on his behalf is not being highly biased against him) you might have some credibility on that matter. I am talking about citing actual information and data here by the way, not empty talking points with no actual analysis of their coverage.0 -
Could well have been, as they found the bullets after.Was Sanders in the campaign HQ at the time?
Why the almost instinctive need to downplay one attempted act of terrorism, while (incorrectly) giving out about people downplaying acts of terrorism? Hopefully this isn't the case, but it makes it seem like you don't really mind terrorism at all, so long as it's the "right" kind of terrorists. Which makes me curious to see how many Trump fans want tighter controls on Britons entering the country, in the wake of both this and what happened last week in England.
That's called reporting the facts, you will need to try harder. If Trump doesn't like people reporting what he says, maybe he shouldn't say it.The Washington Post ran the headline last week, "Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting." A blatant lie and proof of media bias against Trump.

"Look, we're led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind," Trump said in a lengthy interview on Fox News early Monday morning. "And the something else in mind — you know, people can't believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' There's something going on. It's inconceivable. There's something going on."
In that same interview, Trump was asked to explain why he called for Obama to resign in light of the shooting and he answered, in part: "He doesn't get it or he gets it better than anybody understands — it's one or the other, and either one is unacceptable."
...
"Well there are a lot of people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it," Trump said. "A lot of people think maybe he doesn't want to know about it. I happen to think that he just doesn't know what he's doing, but there are many people that think maybe he doesn't want to get it. He doesn't want to see what's really happening. And that could be."0 -

I think this is exactly his point. Trump heavily implied that Obama had a vested interest in Islamic terrorism in a this exact way. Racist dog whistle complete.
I'll get back to you on media bias later. I'm not letting that one go, but I'm only on a phone now.
Good to have you back, by the way. The other pro GOP posters just aren't up to your standards at all.
No, Trump only noted that Obama is weak on fighting terrorism at home.
Thanks Brian?. Took a break from boards.ie and have been doing battle with the liberal hoard on another message board recently. But the moderating standards are lacking there regarding personal attacks (well, only when it comes from the Left, that is), and I’m taking a break from it. So I’m back, for a while anyway, to do battle with you again... a worthy opponent. And this election gives us plenty to battle over. Just wish I had someone better to represent the GOP this time around.
And LOL over the “standards” line. Is that a nice way of saying ‘Definition of Stupid: Knowing the truth, seeing the truth, but still believing the lies?’ (just kidding)0 -
