The fact that news organizations are still interviewing Rudy Giuliani as a serious person is a joke

But there they are, taking his answers seriously on air on all those shows.
Everyone is like "Wow Rudy really looks bad in his interviews"
Not as bad as he is making the media look in my opinion.
They just keep asking him questions like he isn't a liar.
Not one has called him out on his lack of credibility and that is amazing!

Dear MSM, just say no to Rudy.
Let him lie to Fox News viewers, like he always has, but keep him away from the rest of America.
He has no credibility and you won't say it.

game. Same people who gave Trump billions in free in kind Advertising. Nothing has changed,NBC has told their on air Talents to not touch certain people or issues. Caught Katy Tur saying this is a slip of the tongue moment last week.

interview where RUMP admitted he fired Comey because of Rusher. This has provided endless fodder.

I'm really sick of "liberals" disparaging the media. I mean we have RUMP doing it and then it's rampant around here too.

Get real. When this is all over you'll have the media in part to THANK.

You describe me as a "liberal" with quotes around it.
You compare my comments to Trumps which is false equivalence.
I find your insults personally offensive.
Thanking the media?
You have the media to thank for Trump being President by the way, because Oh Hillary's Emails!, and them not digging into trump when he first ran, just giving him free air time day after fucking day because of the ratings his shit show generated for them.
Are you kidding me?
Please.

These interviewers could elicit even more outrageous confessions and other wild information if they immediately challenged these people in their bullshit and demanded specifics. But they never do.

"Horse races", Good television", and all that. Fuck that. Lives are at stake.

The first person that calls Trump out as a LIAR to his face on national television will be remembered for decades as a National hero.

but overall they failed us, bigtime.

If you need and example how many times was Trump University lawsuit brought up before the election.

And then how many times was it mentioned after the 25 million dollar settlement.

When he called Hillary crooked, how many media personalities pushed back with Trump University being sued for Fraud.

When Rolling Stones and UK Guardian is providing us with critical investigative journalism, the Major media news outlets has a lot of work to do.

For just one thing are his very strong relationships with the very powerful and connected NYPD and with the renegade, out-ofcontrol Manhattan office (especially) of the FBI, which "involved" itself in the 2016 election. Maybe if he keeps babbling he'll let slip something he knows that requires further investigation of the latter. Wouldn't mind that at all.

To that and any other end, I prefer that he keep babbling in front of cameras as much as possible. For sure, nothing he lets slip will hurt US or it would already have been said, and repeated a million times. Any danger's all on them.

Btw, "occult" brain damage? My MIL was having mini strokes for some time while we were all clueless, including her, and she was a very sharp woman. (No medical practitioners among us.) She spoke and acted very much like herself except for becoming rather depressed and bitter, which were real changes but seemed fully justified at the time. We only realized something was really wrong when she finally said something she never would have before.
