Didn’t he get sued for that?

I hope so. What an awful thing to say about our lovely Melania. I can’t even imagine what would have happened if someone had called MO a hooker.

EXPOSED, Carl

Your childish pouting reminds me as a youth, whenever I was caught doing something etc. and my Mom would give me that sarcastic grin and say

“The truth hurts, doesn’t it”?

Nothing got my goat more than that. And you know why, Carl? She was always 100% right.

Suck it up, Big Boy. It’s not too late to repent for the enormous damage you and your fellow ‘JournOlists” have done to my country

GFY

What these idiots can't see is that they have brought this on themselves. They refused to report fairly and decided to go full on to editorialize all the news. Now they complain about their own failings.

Way back in 1955 at a National Broadcasting Convention Edward R. Murrow gave a speech on this and warned about mixing editorial speech with the reporting of hard news. Well they did not heed what he said.

Watch the movie “Network” what was high satire in that film has become reality.

I don’t think so. IIRC he stated it at the fashion event, it was reported that a NYTimes reporter had said it, eventually he was identified and he basically apologized for it, saying he shouldn’t have said it.

LOL, as if anyone cares what this dessicated old treacherous fart says about anything.

As other posters said, he is pissed at being irrelevant, and he is probably doubly pissed that President Trump has finally shouted out to the American people from the Presidential Pulpit for all Americans to finally hear whether they like it or not:

The media is not an ally of Americans, they are out for themselves, and are intent on manipulating events, not reporting on them.

This, from the Presidential Pulpit. I love it. Love it. Just Love it.

Guess he’s suffering from memory loss, or he’s just a liar, possibly both.

I watched some film about Nixon awhile back -wish I could remember the name- it had lots of archival footage and I was quite surprised just how cold and rude Nixon was when addressing the press. Trump smacks them up pretty good but it’s a far cry from how brutal Nixon was.

“The media’s attacks on Trump are more treacherous than on Nixon too.”

Looking back on that time, I don’t think so. I think they were just as bad or worse, but very few people realized it. We sat in front of our TVs and thought that fifth-columnist traitor Cronkite was telling the truth.

No one really cares what this one-sided investigative reporter thinks or says anymore. He has no credibility and is irrelevant.

The wailing, teeth-gnashing, tears, sack-cloth rending, ash wallowing, and whining by the lefist fake stream media is absolutely AWESOME to behold, approaching at least Category 5 in magnitude!

That makes sense! The media is way more treacherous to Trump then they were to a Nixon. They are so venomous, as to be squashed, or be poisoned by thier steady river of blatant, deadly lies. They no longer even pretend to be fair. It’s in the face leftist, full frontal attack mode for them. Thank The LORD God that this time we have a warrior in The White House.

Did he apologize and say he shouldn't have said it before, or after, he was identified?
