          Why is this so hard to understand? Wasn't it you who posted a link in the science thread about the fuzzy nature of time and causality?

            It's even worse. This proves Obama could have traveled back in time to kill Hitler, but didn't, so Obama killed 6 million Jews. We were warned.

              This should be exhibit 1 when people accuse the media of an anti-Trump bias. During the interview is when Blitzer should have confronted the Trumps spokesperson, not some minutes later when he offered what seems to be a pretty halfhearted correction about the timeline of Obama taking office and Khan's death. Perhaps if journalists would routinely call politicians and candidates out when they make blatantly incorrect statements, these statements would be less common. I know Trump uses non-traditional platforms to spread his message quite a bit, but the majority of his blather is spread through the so-called mainstream media. Had he been challenged a fraction of the time he misspoke, embellished or flat out lied, perhaps his candidacy would have lacked traction from the word go. Instead he's received the equivalent of billions of dollars of free advertising because he drives ratings.

              Americans do a terrible job of being both responsible voters AND responsible consumers. Responsible consumers of media would demand better reporting by voting with their eyes, ears and dollars. And then we'd perhaps have political journalists who took seriously a responsibility to inform. Now the ONLY responsibility most media take is to the bottom line, and who can blame them?

                This. Comedians have had a field day on Trump, but the net result is still that everyone is too soft on him. He should've been ignored into a corner by now, or at least roundly ridiculed by the press enough to shame him into silence whenever he or his spokespeople blatantly lie in front of him.

                For crying out loud, he flat out has no idea that Russia invaded Crimea two years ago, and he just gets a polite little "aren't they in Ukraine right now?" from the interviewer.

                    You're assuming Blitzer noticed the inaccuracy then, rather than having it explained to him after the break. We are talking about this guy: http://i.imgur.com/vfdhDhN.jpg

                        Well, the saving grace is nobody watches Wolf Blitzer so if a tree falls in the forest and nobody's around to hear, does it make a sound?

                        "Journalists" and I use that term loosely, don't want to challenge Trump because they want him to show up for more interviews. That makes them scummier than The Trumpster. Its entirely possible Trump is insane. Collectively the entire media chooses to coddle the guy for the sake of a .1 blip increase in their ratings. Pathetic.

                          I really don't get why CNN forced Fark to stop using their real logo 2 years ago or so. Such a bad decision.

                            Andy Richter went HAM that episode. A comedian/sidekick kicked the crap out of a respected journalist.
