Every day they are bringing a well sourced story of what is going on with Trump-Russia.
Thank goodness we still have freedom of the press.

And all the backwoods rubes that voted for a NYC slicker billionaire with a bad narcissism problem. They're the first ones he's fucking. Putins bloated orange puppet has to go. .

(16,439 posts)Which makes me wonder if people who shit on journalists all day, referring to them by some childish "greedia" label actually read newspapers or just sit around all day watching cable news. Lots of excellent print journalism over the last few months.

(14,275 posts)The last time I was this proud of the Post was in the 1970s when they exposed Watergate. And even then, Woodward & Bernstein were tools of the IC and coming up with info that was selectively leaked to them. For decades the Post has felt like a mouthpiece of the current administration to me. But lately, they seem to have grown a pair along with our patriots in the IC who are trying to protect us from enemies both foreign and domestic.

I'm hoping he was just freaked out about being on TV. He didn't look good. He was on Rachel's show.

Glad I did. Also support NYT (with a few misgivings here and there) and the Guardian.
They are working very very hard to sort through so much crap to bring us the truth as much as they can ascertain and research. All on very short notice, given the instant demands by the net for stories with substance.
