George hook backing trump to the hilt on the radio here. Some Scottish gimp on saying they understand trump because of his Scottish heritage and wants to build bridges. Not sure if its a man or a woman but hook is destroying them. Is Sidney Scottish??
Thereās making mistakes and then thereās being ham-fisted, it doesnāt augur well for the future if this is how he is going to carry on. Heās been a shambles so far.
Thatās exactly the same type of stuff that you have been moaning about for the last year - calling it the āClinton News Networkā, and the āliberal mediaā.
It would be a rather large shift of position for you to now not think that. [quote=āTim_Riggins, post:5198, topic:19437ā]
Good to see youāre admitting you were wrong on CNN though.

I find CNN, and wider US political journalism in general, to be far too deferential towards politicians.
And if thereās one politician that needs to be treated with the opposite of deference, itās Trump.
BBC World Service journalist Ali Hamedani has described how he was detained at Chicagoās OāHare airport and interrogated for more than two hours following a travel ban on people from seven Muslim majority countries travelling into the USA.
Hamedani is a British citizen but was born in Iran. He has not been able to go back since 2009 because he works for the BBC and does not have an Iranian passport. He was detained this evening by American border agents having flown in from London Heathrow on a trip to Los Angeles.
He told 5 liveās Stephen Nolan: āThey took away my phone and started searching my Twitter account looking to find out my political views. I was also asked questions like if I had been training with the military in Iran.ā
"I couldnāt convince the guy because he kept asking me about why Iām entering the country with a British passport, not an Iranian passport. I told the guy I donāt have that Iranian passport anymore."
āI was arrested back home in Iran in 2009 because I was working for the BBC. It felt the same this time.ā
