Danny Bateman Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Just now, zoogs said: Not foreign policy (unless you're Trump) but yes conflict of interest. Literally just reading this. Beat me to it zoogs. You know you'd think the at least some of the folks who freaked out about the Clinton Foundation (a charity...!) would be up in arms about this. But nope, now that the shoe is on the other foot, I guess it's just the old boys taking care of one another. Link to comment

funhusker Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 That's what I saw too. CNN actually has a short column about this "incident". I think the man is a clown, but I can kind of sympathize with his disdain for CNN and other media outlets when they try to create a context that isn't based in reality. Link to comment

Obama fist bumped his wife and Fox had a whole segment on it being a "terrorist fist bump." I don't recall Obama losing his mind in press conferences and tweets calling Fox "Fake News." He handled it like an adult. If scrutiny from the press is too much for you to handle, you aren't fit for office. 2 Link to comment
funhusker Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 He's not fit for office for a myriad of reasons. CNN doesn't need to become FoxNews to critique this guy. Link to comment
Fru Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 They reported on it getting laughed at. They didn't call it a "Trump's Terrorist Koi Fish Feed." Is it an insignificant thing to report on? Sure. Is it a complete distortion of reality? Far from it. 1 Link to comment
