Perspective: A New Breed Of RINO
Northern Public Radio WNIJ ^ | 8/4/20 | Joe Rossner

Posted on 04/27/2024 9:04:58 AM PDT by DallasBiff

RINO, Republican In Name Only, is a slur used against Republicans who fail one or more extreme right wing purity tests. It’s likely Reagan, Goldwater, the Bushes, Eisenhower, John McCain and other Republicans icons would be labeled RINOs by the standards of Trumpism.

Here's a new term – PINO. Patriot In Name Only. Examples:

If you disrespect 1st Amendment's free press protections and call

Journalists “Enemies of the People,” you may be a PINO.

I know from almost 4 years ago, but I guess this "journalist" would get very miffed if he was called a "ZIOM"Leftist "Zealots interested only in murder(of Iraeli's)".

Mods pull if too controversial.

Joe Rossner of the Lying Leftist Northern Public Radio WNIJ obviously does not know what he is talking about. The Left hardly knows what they are doing and knows less about the issues on the Right.

After publishing odiferous codswallop like this, the journalists at NPR wonder why their audience is shrinking.

"If you disrespect 1st Amendment's free press protections and call Journalists “Enemies of the People,” you may be a PINO."

Trump stated an opinion; unlike the Biden administration, he made no effort whatsoever to censor the press.

USED TO BE ....journalist, made themselves the heroes of thestory,

reporters, just provided the facts.

It has come to note that both critters havee allowed their own importances of note, to become what we, the readership, are DUPPOSED to believe.

It is well documented since the days of Clinton, that the majority of both said critters, have been anything but objective.

It is the duty of the press, to ask of any person in office, “Is this good for the nation?”

That is a duty long lost on such critters.

“It’s likely Reagan, Goldwater, the Bushes, Eisenhower, John McCain and other Republicans icons would be labeled RINOs by the standards of Trumpism.”

Is this NPR fraud hoping we will forget how most of these people were mocked and demonized by the left?

But these people are NOT “journalists”. A “journalist” reports truth and facts regardless of who it hurts or helps, just the Truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

These are PRESSTITUTES, they skew everything to fit their preconceived biases in an effort to help their daddy Satan and DEFRAUD the American People for compensation or gain.

Maybe we just need common sense licensing, training, registration, criminal penalties and other sanctions... for “journalists” that utilize a high capacity transmission device to transmit deliberate false or misleading information for compensation or gain.

“against Republicans who fail one or more extreme right wing purity tests.”

The author is a dishonest leftist propagandist. F him.

This NPR writer is really an idiot. He is trying to equate things that don’t equate, which is a typical leftist tactic. Calling journalists “enemies of the people” is not disrespecting 1st Amendment’s free press protections. Apparently the writer does not understand that those protections are from government actions against the press, it does not mean that citizens and organizations cannot call out a biased press. A press that represents itself as unbiased while constantly lying and 90 percent attacking one party while supporting the other deserves to be called the enemy of the people. But as usual writers like this are either too dishonest or too stupid to acknowledge that and instead say contrary opinions violate the 1st Amendment — which they obviously don’t really understand.

Yeah, really. I don’t expect the average “conservative” to be pure on everything, but it would be nice if he didn’t mostly give away the store, SPEAKER JOHNSON.

If you support the 2nd Amendment, but exclude the “well regulated,” part, it’s conceivable you’re a PINO.

The idiot doesn't know that "well-regulated" means "well-trained."

“Extreme right wing” refers to anything to the right of AOC or Bernie Sanders.

Notice how they mix apples and oranges by inserting the Bush Crime Family and Juan McKeeting into Reagan, Goldwater and Eisenhower?

The Bush Crime Family and McKeeting are/were RINOS.

Reagan, Goldwater and Eisenhower were not.

The fact that you take anything NPR says seriously exposes you as a mindless troll.
