Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!

For how many days now have parts of Fox been 'allowed' to criticise the WH?

GOP wrongly thinks they can distract public from Tuesday's Jud Comm vote on #Trumprussia #ResolutionofInquiry They can run, but can't hide.

I keep losing the internet , can't follow your link Ginger.
I gather Fox doesn't agree with the exclusion of BBC, CNN, NYT.

"ATTENTION: CPAC ATTENDEES

You can't be WITH US in the hotel room and AGAINST US in the CPAC ballroom."

What are they saying? Will we have a series of surprise revelations?

It looks as if Murdoch has given them their head on this issue, Marci.

Ben Stein Slams CNN, on CNN: You are 'Hoping to Do' to Trump 'What You Did to Nixon

Slight confusion with the Washington Post?

And if he means getting a crooked president out of the WH, well yes. What's wrong with it?

OP posts:
GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 18:38

Marci - normally Fox is supportive, but a few specific reporters are openly criticising Trump now. I suspect the loving feeling between Trump and Murdoch is slipping a bit. Murdoch likes to play both sides, to make sure he wins though. Like the Stanleys, one foot on each side of the divide.

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 18:39

Lweji My understanding was that he was saying CNN went after Nixon - except CNN wasn't until after Nixon.

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 18:40

interesting. I just don't want Sessions to have a say in it, either way.

Special prosecutor is wrong way to go on Trump/Russia. What laws were broken? This is a national security matter. Independent commission.

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 26/02/2017 18:40

Keep up the good work everyone - I love all the links and resources on these threads.

Can I make a minor request when html links are embedded in posts? Can we have an indication of source e.g. (NYT), (WP), (Fox) in the post? I've hit my NYT limit this month & not yet resubscribed, so those ones are making me grumpy. Also, some of your links make me feel icky (Breitbart etc) - it would be useful to have a heads-up.

Also, Bill Paxton Sad "Game over, man!" (That's an Aliens reference in case anyone thinks I'm being an insensitive twat.)

FantasticButtocks · 26/02/2017 18:41

Off topic, but can anyone tell me why each time I go to the next page on here (and MN generally) today I'm taken to the very bottom of the next page and have to scroll up to find where I am Confused Could I have pressed something that asks my phone to do this? Only on MN, so not a safari problem

GingerIvy · 26/02/2017 18:43

I think for the most part my links have an indication as to where they are from. I'll try to keep an eye on it though. I did mention that the one was from Breitbart.

CussingQuim · 26/02/2017 18:43

Yy, I agree to the sources request Illegal, I've been trying to do that too just in case it helps people choose to click or not.

(And we've been saying "game over" very sadly this afternoon! Sad)
