No reason to believe CNN. I would like to see Nunes ask for a show cause order and see a court take it up. And soon.

Well of course. But it’s a reasonable response when one is asked to prove things about warrants that are not available to the public and about which investigations are presently being held because even congress doesn’t have all the information.

A reasonable course of action is to avoid making pronouncement on things that “that are not available to the public and about which investigations are presently being held because even congress doesn’t have all the information”.

But we do know congressional leaders want the information, have asked for it and have not received it within a reasonable time period. Congress has subpoena and contempt powers and some are threatening to use them. So no matter what, we do know that.

And we do know the FISA warrant to spy on Page (and almost certainly Trump or others in his campaign) was largely based on the dubious “dossier”.

If it crosses the party line, of course it its fake.

It’s not a matter of that, and I’m not a member of any party anyway. CNN is effectively a party organ for the Dem party, and one has to be careful about believing what it has to say.

None of this changes the facts that you made claims that you did not support then, when asked for support, admitted that you could not, deflected by calling the request cynical, and made other requests “just to be a pain”.
 
Many posters say things that they have no proof for. It goes with the territory of those who like to argue just to argue. And many statements are made as factual information when in reality it is just an opinion.

This is very common it seems among Trump supporters. They make an outlandish claim with a high level of confidence and then when asked for evidence they are forced to admit none exists. This is troubling behavior particularly among Catholics who are supposed to be ordered to the truth.

When you demand something like “proof” that the FISA warrant was obtained deceptively when it’s not available to the public, but when it’s virtually certain that the Court was not fully informed and when the congress is investigating it, it’s a ridiculouis demand and deserves an equally ridiculous response.

However, as you know, the public information itself points to a strong possibility of deceptiveness on the part of the signatories to the warrant application.
 
Oh, I see the liberal tag team is beginning to assemble. Can’t handle it one-on-one, and have to gang up?
 
dvdjs said:
So you say. But what evidence and analysis do you have for that?

No analysis, though there are some that are easily found online as you know. But when the CEO of CNN admits CNN has been “a little too liberal” that means it has been a LOT too liberal for anybody but a liberal like him.

Jeff Zucker Concedes CNN Has Been ‘A Little Too Liberal’

CNN has also found itself in the unique position of raising the price for prime-time advertisements, with 30-second spots going for as much as $7,000 up from $5,000 this time in 2015, according to WSJ.

Actually you wouldn’t.
In fact you said this just yesterday, and I responded that he claim-maker has the responsibility for justifying it, and if unwilling to do so, it’s ok to let the matter drop.

So, you are ‘just being a pain’. Got it. Worth remember when you ask for sources. You’ll probably want to state that in the future (if you are asking ‘just to be a pain’ or not).

It’s difficult for me to believe dvdjs didn’t know how ridiculous both ends of the exchange were.

virtually=close to certain in this case.

I think Mr. Zucker spoke to that.
