In The News Today...

Quote: fleaswatter

We know that the same standards do not apply to both democrats and republicans.

I don't see this as a story
Its a yawner. All news outlets stay away from yawners. Its about getting eyeballs. Its a business
If conservative media wants to be all over this, I am fine by it
Is conservative all over this story reporting it nonstop?
I just checked Foxnews front page, not leading with it, don't see it.
Why do you think this is a story fleaswatter? Why isn't Fox all over this?

How stupid is Trump hater Megyn Kelly that
she didn't know putting on blackface and
going out in public is extremely offensive
to Black people. How totally ignorant do
you have to be that you don't instinctively
see that as just wrong. How can your head
be so far up your ass that you know nothing
of our racial history and you're in the media.

Bye bye, Megyn..

What have you done with the real EB? Here is a rare case where you're more PC than I am. I pretty much agree with Megyn's comments. Sometimes I see white kids dressed as Jamaican Reggae musicians, including dark skin make up, on Halloween and don't get offended at all and doubt anyone else does, except maybe you.

I never once heard of anyone being offended at this scene from Trading Places.

You just don't get it.
It is a non story because a democrat said it.
It would be a big story if a republican said the same thing.
There would be shouts of racism all over the MSM.

But conservative media is not all over this
Why not?
Maybe because its not much of a story.
What are you, the slanted media sheriff, MSM has to report it but you give a pass to conservative media?
You must watch CNN and MSNBC all day. Maybe they reported it. Maybe not, you tell me. What did you see all day on MSM?

My goodness
I am confused
Exactly what point are you trying to make?
You are making very little sense.
Have you even been following this "subthread" since EB's original post about Hillary?

You think a Hillary Clinton interview is news because of what she said
its not
By the way, I don't read EB unless somebody responds to him reposting his post

Hmmm, a democratic senator, Harry Reid, wanted to the same thing in 1993 that President Trump is proposing to do now.

Harry Reid retired. He is no longer a democratic senator.

I have said for years if Hillary ever did anything I approved of, I would say so. So maybe this is it?

I didn't perceive racism out of her joke. It was good to see her have an actual laugh, not a contrived one.

Same thing with Megyn Kelly. I didn't get racism out of her thinking blackface wasn't in itself, racist. The greatest form of flattery is emulation. The best child MJ impersonator was a white kid. There must be some points given for intent.

Ok, so what
I examine every issue independently, think it through logically and make a decision.
What Senators, republican or Democrat , think about an issue is meaningless to me when establishing my position

Too funny. It's a non-story (on Fox news no less) because a Democrat said it?

Does Fox news have a history of not covering Hillary? (But Hillary!)

Does the "MSM" control what stories Fox news covers?

If it is a story that you might think you can 'burn' a Democrat with, and Fox news doesn't run with it... It just might be a non-story.
