January 20, 20179 yr i find it hilarious that people think that Obama was welcomed with open arms and not criticized before he was inaugurated or signed one law. He started under extreme criticism from many/some (whatever) on the right. Short short memories. Totally agree about Obama facing intense criticism from the right just like Trump is now from the left. The main difference is that the MSM is really just part of the left so when Obama was getting started, he was basically loved by most of the media and Trump is basically hated by most of the media...

January 20, 20179 yr Endorsing Obama's Assassination Isn't Enough To Keep This Voice Off Of Fox News Neither of those are a network running an entire segment about what would happen if the president elect was murdered.
January 20, 20179 yr I give up. You think the media treated Obama in 2008-9 similarly to how it treats Trump in 2016-7? If so, then I give up too:lol2:
January 20, 20179 yr Ya' know this is easy. Turn it off or switch. Don't buy from their sponsors. Pitoful idiotic story, yes. But not a big deal.
January 20, 20179 yr Neither of those are a network running an entire segment about what would happen if the president elect was murdered. I didn't see where I excused CNN's actions. A poster said no one else acted like this and I posted two different situations that happened on Fox News about assasinating Obama from people on Fox News. Is it different? Yes. Did it still happen on a major news network? Yes.
January 20, 20179 yr You think the media treated Obama in 2008-9 similarly to how it treats Trump in 2016-7? If so, then I give up too:lol2: A major network spent months upon months upon months trying to prove Obama was born in Kenya and was an illegitimate president. Obama provided his birth certificate when he didn't have to and then that network went about trying to prove his birth certificate was false. I think the media has done damage to both of them. Which one it has treated worse is up for debate. The same way some of the media coddled Obama is the same way some of the media coddles Trump and Trump is making news outlets like Breitbart become credible in a lot of people's minds. It goes both ways. To act like the media only favors one and not the other isn't accurate when parts of the media favors one and parts of the media favors the other. Goes both ways.

A poster said no one else acted like this and I posted two different situations that happened on Fox News about assasinating Obama from people on Fox News. Is it different? Yes. Did it still happen on a major news network? Yes. I didn't say you did. I'm saying you're comparing completely different things.
January 20, 20179 yr I didn't say you did. I'm saying you're comparing completely different things. Yes. They are different. Endorsing the assassination of the POTUS on a major news network is definitely different than a major news network discussing the protocol if the POTUS was assassinated. I agree with you. Two different things for sure.
January 20, 20179 yr Yes. They are different. Endorsing the assassination of the POTUS on a major news network is definitely different than a major news network discussing the protocol if the POTUS was assassinated. I agree with you. Two different things for sure. One was a network doing it. The other was one person's opinion.
January 20, 20179 yr Wait, are we saying CNN "endorsed" the assassination of Trump and Pence? Or were they just pointing out what could happen, given the level of opposition to Trump and the fact that some left-wingers are acting way crazy and might act on those impulses? Caveat: I've not watched CNN on any kind of basis beyond occasional for a good 17 years, ever since my brother joined the Army and got sent to Afghanistan and Iraq soon after.
January 20, 20179 yr I didn't open the link but I can't come up with one good reason to run such a story.
January 20, 20179 yr One was a network doing it. The other was one person's opinion. CNN was endorsing Trump's assassination?
January 20, 20179 yr Fox analyst apologizes for Obama assassination joke - - POLITICO.com Endorsing Obama's Assassination Isn't Enough To Keep This Voice Off Of Fox News Keep 'em real PP92. They think the world, the media, everyone else is conspiring against them.
