Here's a link to the subject video on msnbc: Politico reporter shares her experience covering an anti-Liz Cheney rally

I looked at this originally to see for myself how stupid her statement of "impeachment would only empower him" was, and was not able to hear her saying that. The fox story changed a bit since yesterday, too. The headline still contains the same statement (with an opening quote but no closing quote), but the supposed quote in the body of the story got enhanced a bit to make the statement a bit less stupid: "I think an impeachment would make him even more powerful — a conviction, is what I mean." Politico reporter: Trump base is 'getting stronger' since he left office, impeachment would only empower him .

Even more interesting, a link to the fox story was yesterday near the top of every conservative news site I look at, and this morning it's nowhere to be found. I like to think that the conservative news has more integrity than the liberal news, and I think overall that's true. But even at that the sites are full of click bait and inaccurate reporting. It's dangerous to believe anything we're fed from either side without somehow verifying it.
Thanks for the feedback.

Basically, if MSM's lips are moving, online or OTA, they're lying, omitting or creative editing. I now trust all of them about as far as I could carry any of them.....including "Faux" News, I'm sorry to say.

Thanks again .

It seems this thread is now a series of memes. Curious where you guys get these? Is it the same place where you get your news?

Agree with sdkid. True journalism is dead. I know where I don't get my information from, the liberal trash 'media' stations....notice 'news' wasn't mentioned. They got who they wanted elected...now see what is happening to us. But that's OK....no pain, no gain. America will be back again.

How about you? Where do YOU get your news from? Was 4+ years of 'The Orange Man/Ape' OK with you?

It's not only embarrassing, but just a colossal FREAK SHOW as well. With OUR COUNTRY at stake.

Liberals didn't learn from their first lesson: Elect a idiot because he is a liberal and half black...you get TRUMP. Now, elect the 'Joe and the Hoe' freak show, and just sit back and see what is in the White House in 2024. Ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Exactly.
Mr Sowell is one of the smartest guys in the room. He’s a pleasure to listen to.
I just watched a pretty good documentary, Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World.
Also one of many quotes of his caught my eye: "Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.”

You already knew that the Nobel stuff was compromised and nothing but a joke anymore, but... C'MON MAN!

The MLK Jr. family should feel insulted and dishonored...to have MLK Jr. mentioned in the same paragraph or article that would attempt to compare his positive contributions to society and unrealized value to his race to ANYTHING that Abrams has done. IMO, the only thing she has in common with MLK Jr. is skin color.

And her judge sister? Crook, too. No way should any judge of any race, color or political affiliation make ANY rulings that concern an immediate family member such as a sister. That's just out and out wrong and unjust.
