Next 72 hours about to get interesting in DC

If at least a half dozen (Daily Wire said at least a dozen) Congresspeople don’t resign in the next 72 hours, can we dismiss the Daily Wire and Daily Caller and Ben Shapiro as demonstrably false “fake news” forever from that point forward?

Anyone wanna go out on that limb?
 
Considering the reported size of the total amount of settlements secretly paid out I'd say it's more likely a lot of congressional members will be embarrassed but knowing the ego and hubris of these people I doubt you see that many resignations.

We'll see just how determined the ladies of the house and senate are to end this crap. I doubt that leadership of either party was totally unaware of what was going on. Their outrage is only because it's all being made public. Looking at you Nancy, Paul, Mitch and Chuck.
 
Looks like nobody wants to back the integrity and accuracy of Mr. Shapiro and Dailywire.

Interesting.

If Trump is not indicted on Russian collusion or obstruction of justice charges can we dismiss the MSM as demonstrably false "fake news" forever from that point forward?

You wanna to go out on that limb?

Can you point to similar predictions? Let's catalog those and then we can agree that those individuals lack credibility...

Show me a media entity in the MSM that has written an article claiming definitively that Trump WILL BE INDICTED on Russian collusion or obstruction of justice within a specific and explicit time period that hasn’t happened and yes....I will DEFINITELY dismiss that entity as fake news.

But you won’t find that. Yet, you have already dismissed the entirety of the MSM as fake news in favor of sources like gatewaypundit and Dailywire. I’m just asking you to do the same with Dailywire.

Tick Tock. Just a little over 48 hours until 12 Congressperson resign according to Dailywire. I’m giving you great odds at just asking for six.

I am not sure if I want the list of people released. Because not all who pay someone off did anything wrong.
 
Dailywire is HIS site.

And it’s right there in the OP.
So a story on a website that says something a reporter believes may happen is fake news?

You may want change change your definition of fake news, unless I guess, you would agree that MSNBC, NBcnews, and CNN website are all fake news as well? There are tons of examples of the exact same thing.

Being a good steward of tax payer dollars should be top priority for anyone in government.

i agree

but jeez this harassment slush fund nukes stewardship in the same vein as congressional med care and o care.

that level of disconnect from the reality that these folks represent and are beholden to their constituents is scary

I have mixed feelings on this. I would love nothing more than to see corrupt politicians R&D alike perp walked out of their offices next week because f* those guys.

On the other hand, the sexual harassment hysteria and seeming lack of due process being tossed around the instant someone claims they didn’t like something they’ve said nothing about for YEARS is just as concerning if not more so.

The conflation of fan groping and clumsy passes with sexual assault rape and everything in between is ridiculous.

I guess on the balance I like the upheaval going on and hope there is something delivered on this but I’m seeing visions of Pizza gate and kindotcom - both of which I got suckered by.

We will see.

Please continue measuring your dicks ITT. Would read again.

1. Rosiak followed that tweet with another, writing: “Mark my words, the House is going to be rocked in the coming 72 hours. Tick Tock.” That is a helluva lot stronger and more definitive than “believes may happen”. You know that is true.

2. Daily Caller is Tucker Carlson’s Website. Daily Wire is Ben Shapiro’s. Yeah, I’m gonna hold one biased right wing organization quoting another biased right wing organization in an echo chamber responsible for the accuracy of the quoted statement by the original biased right wing organization...and I believe that is fair to do. At least they cited their source...kudos for that, but if their source gave them bum info, they are responsible for reporting it.

3. MSM has already been dismissed as fake news by quite a few here for much less than this. I’m just looking for people to apply a consistent standard of dismissal as fake news. I’m pretty sure I’m tilting at windmills and it’s never gonna happen, but every once and a while I need to call out people for their BS.

Pretty sure who you are talking about.

If I’m right, I gave up too...and am happier for it.
Boom goes the JaDynomite.

Ok, sounds a little weird. But I'm damn proud of you. The dark side is all light and airy.
 
The NY Times and NBCNews had stories about Trump was going to fire Mueller. If that doesn’t happen should we also dismiss those two media outlets as demonstrably false “fake news” forever?

Or CNN? They have had multiple news reports about “rumors” that Trump will fire Mueller. Most the time on CNN New Day today was about that subject.

Do you want me to quote Trump, and any number of posters here doing exactly what you are saying (dismissing any number of MSM outlets as “fake news” forever)?

I’m not gonna bother, because we both know they exist.

I want the same standards Trumpies apply to WaPo, NYT, CNN, etc. to be applied to Dailywire, DailyCaller, GatewayPundit, etc..
 
What I find interesting is what will WaPo's response be. Either they deny having these names, or they will start being accused of protecting their Dem friends. Not exactly a bad play if you were a right-wing, anti-left media play.

Interesting comparison. WaPo, NYT, CNN = Dailywire, Dailycaller.

Maybe try Slate, Daily Kos, HuffPo as more equal examples.

So you admit the merits of what many conservatives view as “fake news”? President Trump has himself espoused the view of the Washington Post, NY Times, CNN and other reputable, world-renowned news sources as “enemies of the American people”.

No, I don’t admit at all. CNN is a joke of an organization. They made a decision in 2015 to chase ratings because they fell behind MSNBC (they were already way behind Fox News). CNN has not been a reputable news organization over last 18 months. Yes, they are fake news.
Shoot this morning on the CNN, their top two (Top 2!!) headlines on their web site was about SNL skewering Trump. They actually had five different linked stories about last night’s SNL’ skit on Trump on their website this morning. Is that really a news organization??

But CNN is a huge organization and has, in the past, been a news organization. To compare what CNN should be to the Gateway Pundit shows that even our resident anti-Trumpers know CNN and others are fake or extremely biased.

I don’t think you are tracking on this.

Trump and many folks here have identified WaPo, NYT, CNN as fake news forever. I’m saying IF WaPo, NYT, CNN ARE are fake news forever as others have claimed THEN surely Dailywire/Dailycaller/etc. are too.
