    So you think news organizations shouldn't just employ people of both political parties or political belief systems,but instead they should be required to employ supporters of specific politicians? My gosh... it truly is a cult of trump.

    btw, CNN has employed trump supporters.

    There aren't two political belief systems....

    I said they should have people on who share trump's views on an issue since half the country apparently does. This would be true of any president. Being balanced isn't difficult. Put the most well spoken individual on for each position of a topic held by 30% of Americans. CNN is far away the worst at this and it is reflected in their viewership numbers.

    you have no reading comprehension skillz. I never said 'required'. they can do what they want. I also never said they should have a view on of a certain politician. I said they should have a perspective on that represents 'around 50% of Americans'. Trump's views fit that description.

    So santorum doesn't agree with trump's positions? Which ones does he disagree with? Same question about SE Cupp?

    And political beliefs can vary, but most easily charted as a continuum from conservative to liberal. CNN is more liberal, fox news is more conservative.

    Like how he gives only one example and that was an opinion peace he never posted example from the other side. On top of that he conflates an opinion piece to actual investigating reporting that the Times write.

    It looks like you don't know who those people are.

    Santorum is not a Trump defender?

    Urban worked on Trumps campaign.

    Okay? Maybe the congressional and senate Republicans should ask Trump to stop constantly texting insane **** because they are getting asked about it?

    That is really the best they have?

    First off, 50% of the country did not vote for Donald Trump.

    Second, no Fox news is not balanced....... then against CNN and MSNBC are not either.

    hmmm thinking and this will create govt enforcement and it will mean state approved truth. You do not want the govt doing that. Far too dangerous and authoritarian.
