Matt Lauer Demands Trump Tell Convention Speakers to ‘Tone Down the Rhetoric

As presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump arrived in Cleveland Monday afternoon, he was greeted by NBC Today co-host Matt Lauer hectoring him about the “tone” of the GOP convention, which had barely started: “There’s been so much violence in the country in the last couple of weeks. People are on edge, they’re tense. You add to that the passion that comes with political debate and there are people who are truly afraid that things could boil over here in Cleveland.”

In the interview, aired on Tuesday morning, Lauer demanded Trump promise to keep convention speakers in line: “Would you be willing to make a pledge to speak to everyone involved in this convention and say, ‘Please tone down the rhetoric’?...So can you say to the people who are going to take to that podium this week, ‘No personal attacks, no vitriol, keep it civil’?”

But as it usually goes, republicans that criticize democrats are haters, causing violence. But when democrats do it about republicans, oh, they are just telling it like it is, it’s true.

“Would you be willing to ..." and "So can you say to the people ..." are not demands.

Lauer is azz, for sure, as are 99% of the media clowns.Bur the headline is wrong and loaded with bias, which coincidentally, is counter to mrcNewsBuster's stated purpose of "EXPOSING AND COMBATING LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS"

It is time to ramp UP the rhetoric
and
It is time to hold Lauer and Holt and the other MSM
agitators of murder and rape accountable.

Buckle up. As it becomes clearer to them that Trump is going to win full-blown panic is going to set in. The over-the-top hysterics from people like Lauer is about to get much, much worse.

Who in the H*ll do these media creatures think they are? A bunch of self important *sses.

I tried to watch the Republican convention last night. There was that malicious dwarf, Stephanopoulus and other "commentators. Most of the time we had to listen to them rather than the speakers. I wanted to hear what General Flynn had to say and what did we get? The self important morons telling us their worthless opinions. (I don't care if I spelled the malicious little dwarf's name correctly!)

“Too bad Donald didn’t say “Mattie, girl, get off my plane.””

Preferably while still in flight.

Once upon a time, there were journalists who simply asked questions and reported facts. That was ages ago. These are all pretenders today.

Lauer: "Mr. Trump, is there a chance you can stop being evil and serving Satan? Isn't it wrong to be eating live infants? What say you, Mr Pedophile Trump, to the accusations that you murder people for sport?"

Does Matt think the DNC will be quieter? Um, no probably not.

I blame the media and the politicians for what this election has become. Mostly the media. Irresponsible a-holes.
