Q: "Does the White House believe that the election in Russia was free and fair?"

Sanders: "We're focused on our elections, we don't get to dictate how other countries operate."
Well well. Sanders issued a statement in August saying Trump wouldn't speak with Venezuela's president because they don't hold "free and fair elections." thehill.com/homenews/admin…

Two months ago, Sean Hannity joined Trump on stage during a rally and praised his administration.

On Tuesday, news broke that Hannity had been advising Trump on the shutdown.

Tonight Fox is letting Hannity interview Trump about it.

mediamatters.org/blog/2019/01/1…
Fox has abandoned even the pretense of functioning as a news outlet rather than a propaganda one. And that's so incredibly obvious now that it's barely mentioned.
How can Fox executives let this happen? Because they really don't care as long as the money keeps rolling in.

When everyone is on board with the White House talking points.
Presidential adviser and Fox host Sean Hannity: "This is a national emergency, it's time to build the wall."
Presidential adviser and Fox host Lou Dobbs: "This president is leading the nation on a national emergency that only he can solve and has the political will. The American people, all they need is a strong leader. He's it."

1. Trump’s Fox cabinet returned from vacation yesterday and urged him to “stay strong” on the shutdown. mm4a.org/4Qt
2. For the first 10 days, Trump had to watch the B-team cover his shutdown. But now Hannity, Dobbs, and company are back, and they are continuing to egg him on.
3. Trump's Fox cabinet has been a problem for a while. But we are now moving toward a dynamic where they possess real veto power over government actions.

"His job is to hold power to account"
DOES NOT MEAN
"Jim Acosta is free to make an ass of himself on television"

Come on, dude. This isn't a rocket science.
"His job is to hold power to account, not to be “nice” to the President or anyone else he covers."

Who said anything about nice? There's a distinction between that and allowing personal grudges to impact job performance.

This isn't the first time Acosta and Trump clashed.
Something is wrong when a spectacle is made.

The apparent Trump plan to withdraw the U.S. from #Syria and allow Asad and the Russians to retake the country, in exchange for promises that #Iran will be ejected, is monstrously stupid. It is also perfectly in-keeping Obama's policy, of which Trump is considerably a prisoner.
If there is a difference between the Obama and Trump proposals over #Syria, it is that in the Trump administration's ideal world, #Iran would actually leave; they're just not willing to make it happen. The last administration was concerned only with their nuclear deal.
Still, I am glad we're all agreed that the U.S. policy on #Syria is "collusion" with #Russia, and that such collusion is a Bad Thing. It is a consensus that is merely seven years and 500,000 lives too late.

#Russia's really going for it at UNSC today: Amb. Nebenzia going all-out tinfoil hat, contradicting himself in rapid time.

- In the space of seconds, he says (1) the #Douma incident was a false-flag chemical attack by rebels & then says (2) there was no chemical attack at all.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

- I could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers, in their diapers, all lying together, dead, ashen blue, open eyes & lifeless, white foam bubbling from their mouths & noses… the very definition of innocent, hiding in basements.
U.S. Amb. to UN @nikkihaley:

"Who does this? Only a monster does this… the monsters behind this have no conscience… the Russian regime is covered in the blood of innocent children.

#Russia & #Iran are to blame… [but] what’s the point in trying to shame these people?
