Donald Trump has threatened to shut down NBC and other American networks, saying that they peddle fake news.
"With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!" Mr Trump wrote in a tweet.
Mr Trump's tweet came in response to a story written by NBC, which said that Mr Trump had sought to increase America's nuclear arsenal tenfold after taking a look at a briefing slide that showed stead reduction of the US nuclear arsenal since the 1960s. The story cited three officials who were reportedly in the room when Mr Trump made the comments.

Pardon, but I'm old enough to remember when Hillary's lying, cheating, philandering husband was actually POTUS. Does HIM calling to get rid of the talk radio problem count? Does every single current member of the Democratic Leadership count? Not some random Internet shitpoaster.
And to grandparent, do we have to enumerate yet again the dozens of times NBC News has been caught outright lying? Not spinning, not shading the truth, outright lying. Going back way before Trump pushed them into outright insanity; From sticking dynamite on a truck to get it to explode in a crash, editing Zimmerman's 911 call to make him say almost exactly the opposite of what he actually said, and so on. Ask Google for the rest of their greatest hits, I'm tired of doing it.

President Bill Clinton [history.com]
Yes kids, Hillary's husband was really POTUS for eight long years.
p.s. Do yer own danged googling. Start with the OKC Bombing and Clinton's speech on the subject, then his attempt to reimpose the "Fairness Doctrine" (what an example of Orwellian language) with the express intent to silence talk radio.

Welp, I wasted time on that video.
First 3+ minutes (of 3.5 total) were simple political feel good garbage "america yay, we're great, we can conquer our problems, blah blah, work until work is done, scripture lel blah dee blah". I dislike his "god wills it" bullshit, but aside from that there is NOTHING in there about putting back the Fairness Doctrine. "reimpose, Orwellian, intent to silence"
You're full of it as usual, stinky stupid shit.

so uh hey i waited a bit but where is jmorris's reply?
is there another link?
at first I thought he was just trying to prove the bill clinton WAS president, but it seems like that wasn't contested. that's all that there was in the link that matched what he wrote, so i was hoping maybe he picked the wrong president? was there another one that he had in mind--one that actually tried to do as he claimed?
i mean besides the current one. i think we're not arguing that right

Clinton's proposal to ban AM talk radio is in the footnotes: "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers." (my emphasis)

Thank you. I knew he had said it because I am old enough to remember him saying it, but Google has increasing difficulty finding things, especially that predate the widespread dump of all news onto the Net.

If there is no greater proof that Jmorris is a shill just keep an eye on the sheer amount of lies he spews. That or he's just following the alt-right / GOP playbook of trying to lie his way to success. Jmorris care to explain all your lies? Or will silence be the only thing we ever get when you're called out on your bullshit?
Please tell us about the real you, or will you get fired? Do you consider yourself a US citizen?

Me too.
I really long for the days when our biggest problem was whether he left sperm on not-his-wife's dress, while we all had jobs, the stock tickers showed us getting richer by the minute, and the US debt was shrinking. We also kicked some dictator's ass with some cool weapons and went home on schedule.
The Good Ole Days before W trashed the place.

You are aware that Google is an echo-chamber, aren't you? Not everyone gets the same results for a given query but everyone does just get "more of the same" of what they already know... confirming their world view and showing that 'the other guy must be nuts because look what truths I found through google'
