    That would be the same Chris Hayes that hates the Constitution.

    In the long line of things that are politically corrupt, this is what you are wetting your panties about? A pre arranged media appearance? :wtf:

    Is it weird that I had no idea who Kuranes was before he outed himself as a tiresome misogynist? Am I the only one? :shrug:

    Kuranes doesn't seem to understand the difference between consensual relations and sexual assault. I'm going to pretend I'm even slightly surprised. :borg:

    Why do you think it's a straw at all? Seriously, do you think media appearances are entirely under the control of the press? Or would you expect some negotiated conditions? This is very, very common.

    You do know that Chris Hayes' show is a pundit show, right? Like Maddow, O'Reilly, and many others, it is a political show, not a news program. So yes, it is an interview, a scripted one. Have you never heard of scripted interviews? Have you never heard of politicians, of all stripes, informing interviewers what they will and won't answer beforehand? Have you never heard of interviewers and other media outlets receiving guidelines and instructions on what is and is not allowed, on what can and cannot be said before they agree to the interview? Seriously, have you ever watched television, or read a magazine, or a newspaper in your life?

    Yes, and Trump doesn't do scripts. He just says what he thinks. Hillary doesn't even write her own scripts. The e-mail dumps from Wikileaks had tons of discussions between her staffers as they work up what she's going to say, and what her positions are going to be. They even have huge e-mail chains where they work up jokes for her to use.

    Hate to break this to the OP, but this is very routine. Most shows do this so that their guests have a chance to research and be well prepared. Do you really think those guests know so many facts and numbers and can drop them at any moment? Please. This is like the big revelation that politicians use teleprompters.

    Unless of course the guest is a Republican, in which case the goal is to trip them up with gotcha questions about the prime minster of Estonia.

    Hillary can't even do that. She hasn't had a press conference in 313 days. She'll never have a press conference the rest of her life, because she can't.

    Because she's invisible to cameras because she's A VAMPIRE!!! :soma:

    Also, did you have a childhood pet that died?
    Hillary killed it.
    Hillary killed all the favorite pets.
    Hillary killed all the Lassies, Benjis, and Flippers.
    She kills everything that brings love and joy.
    Did a baby in your family die of SIDS?
    Hillary did it.
    Hillary is SIDS.
    Yep, all of this is perfectly sane.
    :yes:

    Boasting about committing sex crimes is in and of itself worse than any amount of consensual sexual activity, but as of this morning there are several women claiming Trump groped them.

    Now you're going to tell me that's irrelevant because he hasn't been convicted, but also that Hillary is a criminal because of some blog post you read. :borg:

    She's also an alien! And a demon! And she has multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis, AIDS, ebola, and possibly Type II diabetes as well!

    She provided protection for Boko Haram, which the CIA and every other organization wanted to classify as a terrorist organization. But Boko Haram was clearing out villages so one of Hillary's billionaire Nigerian donors could drill for oil. At least 11,000 black people were slaughtered as a result. But hey, it's all good as long as Hillary is making that coin.

    You facepalmed this the first time, @Kuranes, so I will explain. You said "news and opinion" show in your first sentence. Note the word "opinion".

    It's essentially an op-ed program, just like the aforementioned Maddow and O'Reilly. Now do you get it?

    :doh:

    How did I not realize this earlier? It's a classic Karl Rove strategy to take your actual weaknesses and liabilities and attempt to convince people your opponent shares them. What's Trump been doing for ages? Calling Ted Cruz a liar. Calling Hillary crooked. Calling Bill a rapist. Of course Trump turns out to be all three.

    I'm just surprised he hasn't accused Hillary of wanting to fuck Ivanka. :borg:

    A corporate owned media, giving their personal possession - Hillary Clinton - all the questions and talking points in an effort to help elect her so they can continue to cash in.

    The typical leftist response "hey, everybody does it, nothing new."

    The only change they truly wanted was for their politicians to receive the spoils of the corruption that they would tolerate to remain in place.
