Once again for all the intellect Challenged Morons in the media that feel compelled to attack a Man's family but because his political beliefs do not mirror your own. You are all devoid of honor and integrity and your Imbecilic commentary changes nothing.

PO3 Donald Murphy - So? I'm neither responsible for nor affiliated with anyone who said Michelle is a man. Stop trying to lump me in the GOP just because I hold some of the same values. Some of them I don't.

SN Greg Wright - I know you had nothing to do with them and I know you didn't create them or distribute them. But you surely have seen them, right? I'm not a republican or democrat and yet *I* have seen them. My point is that they've been in the media enough (8 years) and yet no one put a stop to it. Nor did anyone put a stop to Bush being caricatured as a monkey for 8 years either.

PO3 Donald Murphy - How would you go about putting a stop to media who's interest isn't the population they serve? Who's interest is the almighty click and dollar?

SN Greg Wright - Sadly, there is no way to stop it except to hurt it. Much like women have been doing lately with their "anti-sex" boycott campaigns against magazines that only define "beautiful" as women who's bodies are in hard-to-achieve condition. We sadly complain about a lot of it, yet turn around and buy it. If enough people say "this isn't an issue you need to be reporting - AND IF YOU DON'T STOP REPORTING IT, I WON'T CONTINUE SUBSCRIBING," then maybe we might get there.
Thats why I watch/listen to very little American media now. Its too much filler. I'm sure the kardashians are nice ladies but I don't need to read about them daily. Or even monthly. British papers tend to fall into that category except the London Times and Financial Times. Daily Mail used to be very sensationalist. Trust me, they're nowhere near as bad as they used to be...

Yup. People forget that the 1st Amendment does NOT protect false speech or speech intended to harm. Also, Defamation of Character, Libel, and Slander are all crimes which can be and have been successfully prosecuted.

More than that, people forget that it's not protected at ALL from anything BUT the government. Rallypoint can tell you and I to never discuss the 1A again, and then legally ban us if we continue. That's the reality.

Hard question to ask. Trump keeps talking about the election and so many still can't let go of Obama being elected twice. Hard to ask the Left to grow up after watching so many on the Right failing to do the same for 8 years.

Why don't you name all those libel cases successfully brought against news sources or conservative groups like the TEA Party for lies published about President Obama and his family? That will certainly help us understand your point.

CPT Jack Durish - Would it make you feel better if Obama had spent the 8 years suing people for calling him a Muslim, a Kenyan with a fake birth certificate, calling Michelle a transgender, claiming the daughters were adopted, etc etc. Remember, Trump would be one of those presented a lawsuit had Obama not have thick skin. Lets not pretend conservative media outlets didn't spread falsehoods and lies on air and in writing to tarnish the Obama family. Your hypocrisy is noted.
