    So you are continuing and supporting the ad hominem attack on the reporter rather than deal with the actual issue brought up in his question.

    You and others like you are part of the problem.

    I'm not necessarily supporting anything. I think it's a legitimate question to ask: "But is he (the reporter) in fact a 'hack' ?" Many people seem to think so.

    I might add that if it's NOT appropriate to ask that question, then many on the left have no legitimate basis upon which to make their complaints about various reporters on the right . . . most notably anything coming out of Fox/Faux News, the Washington Examiner, or the like

    No, it isn't a legitimate question to ask. It isn't relevant to the issue. It is nothing more than an ad hominem to distract from the fact that she couldn't address the issue he asked about Parnas. His question is relevant, not biased, and related to the news of the day.

    You are focusing zero on the issue and question. You are following McSally's lead and going after the reporter instead. That is part of the problem. Dealing with the actual issues isn't an issue or problem. Supporting those labeling rather than dealing with the issue is most definitely a problem and you are supporting that and a part of the problem. You aren't the only one. Anyone else distracting themselves with this crap rather than deal with the actual issues is also part of the problem.

    It is fair to look at the source for articles, editorials etc. The reporter's question was not an article, an editorial, summative in any way. It was a question that was related to an issue about a source close to the President of the United States.

    The woman didn't deal with the issue and attacked the reporter. You are continuing that attack. None of it deals with the issue or how the lawmaker intends to deal with the issue.

    She is a Communist anyway, in Putin's pocket, like most of the GOP.

    Trump learned what works in politics and used it. Since he has no ethics, morals, or soul to begin with, he had nothing to hinder him and nothing to lose.

    It's funny how FOX News (and the Republican Party these days) is run pretty much by the State. A bunch of Jedi mind tricks...if the Sith were in charge.

    I'm reminded of this article about Lindsey Graham. Yes, it appeared in left-wing Rolling Stone, but it quoted Graham's friend and former law partner who dislikes Trump and knows deep down that Graham was / is no different. The Republican Party's rank and file has no interest in going out and getting real jobs, so we see what they've become. Or what Trump has brought out of them.

    https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/lindsey-graham-senate-trump-928948/

    Graham’s former law partner in South Carolina, Larry Brandt, spoke with comparable bluntness....

    One day, before Trump was elected, Graham visited Brandt at his office. “We were talking about politics, and he looked at me and said, ‘Larry, you’re too honest to be in politics,’ ” Brandt recalls. “He said, ‘Eighty-five percent of the people in Washington, elected officials and bureaucrats, would sell their mothers to keep their jobs.’ That’s a direct quote.” Two Christmases ago, Brandt ran into Graham at a restaurant in Seneca and reminded him of what he’d said. “He, of course, made a joke out of it,” Brandt says. “But Lindsey, in my opinion, has sold his mother to keep his job.”

    I have to begrudgingly give him credit he continuously post stuff from places I have never heard about.

    The Reagan battalion?

    Reagan would be considered a Rino today.

    Imagine if Anderson Cooper, Bill Maher and Rachel Maddow had personal late night phone calls with Obama and routinely played golf with him.

    There has never been such sycophantic cozying up to a active president prominent members of the media actively anchoring "news" segments.

    Funny, today's Reagan suck-ups ("Grampa!") are just as likely to be Democrats as Republicans. Obama would invoke him: "Hmn, how do I get them to look past the black thing? D e i f y Reagan!"

    For the Republicans, it's like, Reagan? Journey just called. They want to know, Why aren't you playing our new single?
