This thread is about CNN being fake news, which has already been proven.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

He couldn't report it to the Atty Gen. becasuse he too was under investigation. Besides, Comey did nothing wrong, he didn't agree to drop the investigation, but neither did he say he wouldn't, he merely said yes, Flynn is a good man, giving Trump the impression that he might drop it. Trump didn't order him to drop the case immediately, so Comey did nothing wrong in not dropping it right away.
Besides he was required under federal law to report any indications of attempts to intimidate or bribe within 24 hours. And then of course there was his public testimony under oath back in early May that no such thing had taken place.Last edited by rogue06; 06-24-2017, 07:57 AM.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the mainstream press is full of fake news, a sentiment that is held by a majority of voters across the ideological spectrum.
According to data from the latest Harvard-Harris poll, which was provided exclusively to The Hill, 65 percent of voters believe there is a lot of fake news in the mainstream media.
That number includes 80 percent of Republicans, 60 percent of independents and 53 percent of Democrats. Eighty-four percent of voters said it is hard to know what news to believe online."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

There is nothing partisan about admitting that all news sources in the USA are off in some weird fantasy land.
I should think the call for news sources to be fair, to be balanced, to be honest, would be welcome by everyone.
It kind of weirds me out that you take this so personal.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101
