Our news media are terrible. Not a single quote or example of "Russian propaganda."

If I'm reporting this I would never allow it to go to print without providing examples of Russian propaganda and who specifically spouted it. Of course this "news" article provides neither.

How is that on the media?

GOP Rep. Mike Turner didn't provide examples.

Marjorie Taylor Greene once again does Putin's bidding:

"This is a war on Christianity. The Ukrainian government is attacking Christians...Russia is not doing that. They are not attacking Christianity. As a matter of fact, they seem to be protecting it."

Can someone translate #6?

I read what she said but I haven't sniffed enough gasoline for it to make sense.

"This is a war on Christianity."

Has Christianity tried turning the other cheek?

#9. Care to address the point or do you just want to make it personal?

GTF out of here, hypocrite. And that's not personal, that's official.

Republicans have no problem giving "alternative facts", so it is best practices to verify what they say.

But the guy is chair of House Intelligence committee, so we should hope he'd know, and we should believe him.

I could hear the ricochet of Turner's comments bounce off dinger's dense skull. And he's a perfect example of Republicans at large.

#11. No, it's personal. You can't or won't refute my point so your only response is to make it personal.

Turner needs to name names and provide some quotes.

Article never should have been published without that information.

#6 does that.

Turner is clearly talking about Jim Jordan, James Comey, MTG and the like.

Everyone knows it. Except balldinger.

And the Russian propaganda is the very same Hunter Biden nonsense balldinger has been repeating here since 2020.

www.nbcnews.com

This stuff was all widely reported. Democrats have been saying it, and Turner was just confirming it. But that's not good enough for dinger, so he'll continue to believe and repeat more Russian disinformation, just like the tool that he is.

What a dunce, lol.

#16. My criticism was the reporting - not naming names or providing any direct quotes, moron.

Well, we've already established that you're complaining about the article. I didn't need to repeat it again.

Perhaps you could go read a different article with the same information and then come back and make a reasonable, informed retort.

You know, instead of just belly-aching.

"Our news media are terrible. Not a single quote or example of "Russian propaganda.The media accurately reported what the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said. If you don't like what he said then take it up with him but it is important for the media to report about his comments about other Republicans.

It's funny that ol' stinkerbell thinks what Turner has said is somehow untrue and wants "examples".

Moscow Marjorie': Republican accuses Greene of irresponsible Ukraine rhetoric

Former congressman Ken Buck says Marjorie Taylor Greene gets her talking points from the Kremlin' when opposing Ukraine aid

www.theguardian.com

Ken Buck is naming names now. Maybe he can have positive impact out of office. I figured him for a gutless coward scared of Trump.

To liberals, if Putin says "Killing is bad" and then a Rep 10 years later says "Killing is bad", they will call it Russia propaganda.

Don't believe me? Many years ago during Clinton's years, there was someone who was pushing the idea that just because we have different political beliefs doesn't mean we should hate each other. We should be friends with everyone. Dems applauded it like it was Jesus talking (and, kind of rightfully so, the message is greeat). But then, Ellen DeGeneres said the same thing and all of a sudden liberals roasted her for it.

You've already entered the realm of the absurd.

Unless you are an Israeli. Then well you just gotta do it.

For the children.
