This is funny. This guy is a twit. Funny he never stated his emails going around the world weren't dangerous, nor his sides rigging the primaries, nor the debates, nothing about his former boss....

John Podesta: Trump Criticizing Fake News Is ‘Dangerous’

John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, says President Donald Trump criticizing fake news and inaccurate reporting is “dangerous” and is “a strategy, used by autocrats, designed to completely disorient public perception.”

“He’s not just trying to spin the bad news of the day; all politicians do that,” Podesta writes of Trump in a Washington Post op-ed. “He seeks nothing less than to undermine the public’s belief that any news can be trusted, that any news is true, that there is any fixed reality.”

Podesta, however, was all for facilitating a “fixed reality” by manipulating media when it served his political purposes.

Indeed, Podesta’s hacked emails revealed multiple instances of collusion and collaboration between mainstream media journalists and press outlets and the Clinton campaign throughout the election. Ironically, many of the journalists who cozied up to the Clinton campaign were from the Washington Post — Juliet Eilperin, Anne Gearan, Karen Tumulty — the same news outlet from which Podesta’s Trump hit piece was published.

The longtime Democratic operative also compared Trump’s handling of the media to that of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“He is emulating the successful strategy of Vladimir Putin,” Podesta wrote, insisting that Trump’s media criticism puts America “in danger of experiencing an information void like Russia,” where citizens “hear something on TV and assume it’s a lie.”

Podesta, of course, failed to mention his connections to Russia and Putin-connected companies.

Podesta warns voters to “maintain a heightened vigilance” and says, “A heavy burden falls on American journalists to fact-check a president and a White House staff that is setting records for peddling false information and not to be afraid to call a lie, a lie.”

The hypocrisy just OOZES out of the left.

But the facts are, bogus and not very thorough news stories HAVE been the focus for awhile now. I'm sure there are very good reporters out there and some good media. But it seems anymore as if they are all a part of Washington, and they need to pick a side and then report based on that. THAT is part of the problem. And shit yeah, I see much more of it from the left. Fact is, the left runs more of the media. At least "I" will be on to admit that it happens on BOTH sides, depending on which media and reporter doing the reporting. They are both guilty, some just more than others.

But watching it come from someone like Podesta, who was in the thick of the lies and crap himself, is kinda funny.

Podesta was the one caught discussing with polling outfits how to weight the polls to show heavy democrat favor. Then he was caught badmouthing Hellary, which I'm sure didn't go down very smooth.

Funny that anyone would take what this scumbag thinks seriously.

And that's another thing - all around the net I keep seeing references to Dan Rather and Brian Williams - suddenly their criticisms somehow carry weight again!

I suppose when you're grasping at anything there's no limit to the dredging.

The proper terminology is "INCOMING! COVER" These asshats are relentless. They're still recovering from the ass-whipping. I find it funny as Hell. "Gee George, what do I do now?" :laugh2:

They're going to come back and double down. The one thing I will give Trump is he's the joker in the deck and got the left mindf*cked. You have no idea how much entertainment I've gotten out of this. It's priceless. I don't even like him but can totally appreciate him screwing up all the leftwingnuts' heads. They're running around like ants.

And the Gunny LOVES a strategic move that f*cks up your enemy. Obviously Trump can play Chess.

^^^^ Look, the media even spelled --violence-- wrong.....;)
For we know the asses use code in their public comments to stir the troops.. Dem/lbs/leftists would automatically read that as -- the word- "violence", methinks
Podesta is without doubt, ATOCS, = A True Case Of Certified Shit.-Tyr
