Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, September 18, 2023

The new host of Meet the Press chose to debut the show with an "exclusive" interview with Donald Trump. As the media struggles how to cover a presidential candidate charged with crimes that threaten democracy, many are not happy with NBC.

There are very few in the TV news/entertainment world who can handle very tough interviewees such as Trump. Ms. Welker is not among them. I would pay to watch Der Dotard go against Mary Louise Kelly, of NPR, who among her successes put Fat Mike Pompeo in a box by standing up to his bullying...

It's dangerous to try to use sociopaths to further your own career.

Trump needs psychiatric help, not interviews.

The left and their hired hand media laughably talk about threats to "democracy" while they do everything in their power to threaten freedom, rights and what the public is told and who they say has no right to speak. The public has already recognized Biden and Democrats are threatening freedom and democracy and the party that is most ineffective at governing. We freedom and democracy lovers want to hear all the information not just what comes from some.

No one knows what the hell you think or believe. It's part of who you are and the "movement" you belong to.

#6 Dont rubles historically come from the commie side of the aisle as in Democrat, XI,or Castro? The left side is not my bag. The movement I belong to is for freedom, the individual and opportunity for all, not with a Karl Marx or Klaus Schwab who says you will own nothing, live in a depressing, decrepit government tenement and be unhappy. Control is their plan.

Your cult literally attempted a coup to overthrow democracy dumbass.

All you have are fantasies about what the left "secretly wants to do". Whereas your anti democratic actions were on live tv for the world to see.

Any trump supporter calling themselves a democracy lover is as hilarious as a nazi claiming to love jews.

#11 Allow me to inform the uninformed. Republicans attempted a protest while the Dems used their media and deep state and clandestine insiders to turn it into a false flag that they could gas light for years. Pelosi and Capitol police refused to allow Nat Guard to preemptively be used as Capitol security as offered wanted by Trump. Then they supposedly burned or bleach bitted all police records. Why are Democrats so devious?

People are trashing MTP and Welker over this when it may prove to be the most important ever done with Trump. She got him to undercut his possible defense that he was following direction from his lawyers and admit that he knowingly engaged in conspiracy against the United States.

The clip of Welker asking Trump if he was "calling the shots" on the election conspiracy plan and Trump replying "it was my decision" is going to be key evidence against him in The Georgia and DC cases.

"Republicans attempted a protest ... "

So you now freely admit republicans were in on the planning and behind the attempted coup on Jan 6th.

Thx

Every bit of that is disproven lies. Despite his repeated assertion, Trump never offered national guard resources according to Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, National Security Advisor Keith Kellogg and Trump's own personal assistant.

What Trump did do, according to Christopher Miller, was float the idea of using National Guard as his own personal security of Jan 6. Miller told Trump he felt it was a bad idea and dismissed it because no order was given. No offer was ever made to the Capitol Police, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell or any other government agency or official.

1) They were armed. Yes, even guns. It was an act of God there was no firefight.

2) It was Donald Trump who was going to take over the government and destroy the Constitution. With you in spirit right behind him.

How many guns do you own?

I believe you forget to mention the Gibberisher in chief - Kamala Harris! No one offers words that say nothing more than her and she is Biden's replacement. God help us all.

You mean THIS Kamala Harris who verbally eviscerated Brett Kavanaugh during his SCOTUS hearing in 2018?

How's the weather on Earth II Robson because you've lost all touch with reality on Earth I were we sane, rational, non-psychotic people live.

Hear any "gibberish" as Kamala grills Attorney General Bill Barr Robson?

Do you have a problem with intelligent, articulate black women Robson? Evidently you must based on the volumes of evidence proving that VP Harris is far from someone who should be mocked as being 'the Gibberisher in chief.'

You fit that moniker far more than she ever will with your crazed non sequiturs and subject shifts when the lunacy of your comments are thrown back in your face.

Ever notice? Folks who make bullschittt claims like this never EVER mention the insurrectionists already INSIDE the Capitol when Trump started his speech on the ellipse.

Some were armed and have been convicted of such.

But if you think being unarmed means they aren't violent and won't hurt/kill you, we can pit you alone against 10 very angry men and see what happens.

There were there for one reason: stop the vote through violence. That's what a mob does.

Just because MAGATS are stupid and ineffective doesn't mean they didn't try. Are you suggesting that we shouldn't hold people accountable for crimes unless they succeed? Should we free everyone in prison for a crime that has the word "attempted" in front of it.

What the? Do you live in a cave? Did you somehow miss it? Did the Trumpy cult or Fox News do a brain wipe on you? No worries. There are hours and hours of videos and they will be enshrined on the internets and in our history forever ( offer not valid in Florida and Texas).

It was a very dramatic and humiliating day for America.

And when Trumpy finally goes to trial for inciting it we will get to relive it all over again.

Yay?

The idiot who conducted the press release,,,,,, errrr, I mean, interview was at a dinner with members or Donalt Trunk's team along with several other media personalities.

NBC had 3 days to facts check this steaming g pile of ---- before they aired it and refused to.

Because the mats what stenographers do.

"Left wing media", my ass.

Well, Robson has shown that he clearly lives down
a Reichwing Rabbit hole. Word salad indeed...

Anyhoo...the Press will ALWAYS be the Press in
Duh'merica. One station will always GO THERE to
try to get what they think is the inside scoop over
their network rivals. Whether they execute it
deftly or not, is another thing entirely.

Sad thing is, the mainstream media doesn't seem to
recognize yet just how little their opinion means
anymore to the average American. When you literally
have 100's of news and opinion sources at your
fingertips on your phone who needs the Old News Networks?
I haven't watched a full episode of the Nightly News
in over a decade. Frankly, it's amazing that the
Old News Networks are even viable (have any viewership at all)
anymore...

Maybe they were, because it was a battle of wits.
