I’m a loyal subscriber and this interview with Robert Costa is an excellent example of Frontline’s ability to showcase the best talent. He’s clear, credible, knowledgeable and persuasive. He speaks in authoritatively in paragraphs that link logically to what most of us believe to be true in the rest of what now passes for news. 🎉 Bravo Frontline!!!

Yeah, who cares that he's blatantly lying? Anyone who isn't brainwashed knows Trump not only didn't say anything positive about the white supremacists, but he disavowed them. This guy being interviewed isn't even a good liar. Actually, he's a terrible liar. The problem with the public that believes his lies is that Trump had more knowledge of all the happenings than they did. Anyone watching the whole speech knows that he was saying there were good people on both sides of a protest about statues. Then, later, antifa thugs and white supremacist wannabes showed up and started violence.

He disavowed them that very day at the press confrence. The infamous “fine people on both sides” speech was clipped 5 seconds short of him saying “I’m not talking about the white supremacists. They should be condemned” look it up if you don’t believe me. This guy just took an untrue news narrative, and tried to say he has inside knowledge of the situation, and he didn’t realize he had the premise wrong. What a liar.

This is why we have freedom of the press. This is why we have journalists who are White House correspondence, to witness in real time to the inner workings of what goes on at the top. Transparency. Honest reporting. It has been said by many White House staffers, aids and council members that Trump detested the fact that these journalists were present almost around the clock, watching and recording everything he says and does. Donald Trump has claimed on countless occasions that he is the most transparent president in history. But his feelings of detest towards the press ran completely contrary to his claim of being completely transparent. Robert Costa represents the finest in journalistic skill. Honesty. Robert' s ability to speak and tell his story clearly is incomparable. I can see his career exploding in the future.

If it is it is a false history. Written by the shills of the war profiteering oligarchy of unelected billionaires. That is what the US mainstream media does now - promotes narratives that are in the for profit interests of those billionaires that own the companies of the US military industrial complex. Look at the propaganda the US legacy media pushed about the Ukraine War. Ukraine is no democracy for one. Ukraine is not winning the war for two. Russia didnt just invade Ukraine for the hell of it. The Obama/Biden neo cons lured Russia to invade because of a delusional belief that trapping Russia into a logn protracted war combined with economic sanctions would collapse the russian economy and cause regime change in Moscow and a dissolution of the Russian Federation, allowing the globalist corporations to move in and exploit russia's natural resouces. The CIA kickstarted the path to the war by overthrowing the democratically elected ukraine government in 2014. Yes the USA started the war sorry to tell you. And the neo con strategy was a fantasy, none of those things happened, Putin is more popular than ever, the russian economy is doing just fine AND Russia has effectively won the war. The US mianstream media and the Biden neo cons just dont know how to tell you americans that - thats why you dont hear much about the Ukraine war anymore...they dont know how to cover up the lies they have t old you about the war!

I remember well Jonathan Swann's lengthy interview with Mitch McConnell, particularly the part where Swann asked of McConnell, "What are your moral red lines?" And McConnell could offer no satisfactory answer except that he felt quite comfortable, morally, with his actions past and present. No qualms. No misgivings. McConnell has always been a political animal bent on the acquisition of greater and greater power, with morality, at best, a peripheral concern.

Read Trump's speech about Charlottesville. This sorry excuse for a journalist knows Trump disavowed white supremacist in the speech. The media cut it out and ran with "good people on both sides". History buffs were there and were concerned with the white washing of history taking place, instead of learning from it. This journalist has zero integrity. The actual speech proves me right. When hatred for the orange man justifies lies we've lost our way. We have a corrupt media, check the speech, he knows the truth this wasn't an oversight.

Spirit of the founders gleaned from what, exactly? "Democracy" isn't a mystical thing. "Reasonable man" standards don't require Special Brain Trust elites to parse. It's just unbelievable how much "misinformation" we have now propagated and protected as "clarity" and "defense of Democratic Norms" and gibberish like that. The only thing Pence was tasked with was allowing Senators to present the case for investigating the election fraud accusations considering that "New Normal" (like drop boxes and using "COVID" to chase away lawful observers) was even more mysterious than explaining how "antiracists" can't be audited. Or some BS like that. And how is it that all of the pundits have ignored the most credible "liberals" of all like Alan Dershowitz and Jonathan Turley? How does ANY of this represent "democracy" in any sense? It's all circular logic and gibberish.

The problem here is that at least one of the first things he said is provably false. He claims that trump wouldn’t disavow the w supremes at Charlottesville. But he did that very day. Watch the press conference without it being clipped. It’s about 5 seconds after he says “ there are good people on both sides” he the says “ I’m not talking about the white supremes. They should be condemned.” . I’m doing this from memory so its not verbatim but it’s the exact sentiment. I don’t know about the other stuff this guy said, but he is demonstrably a liar, so I wouldn’t believe anything he says.

@@fattyboombatty2000 Yes, you can find Trump saying White Nationalists and right-wing extremist groups are bad on several occasions. The problem is he always has to be pressured and/or told to say it first and never seems to refuse the help they offer (see: insurrection). So Costa saying he didn’t disavow them is imprecise, but not necessarily a lie because Trump didn’t really mean what he was saying. Like a mafia boss telling people at the funeral of a guy he had whacked what a great guy he was. They’re just words he’s supposed to say. There’s no meaning behind them. Now DJT, on the other hand, actually is one of the world’s most provable liars. Just ask his three wives.
