Journalistic standards. Trump and his crony's were lying left and right, you can't give that equal treatment. Seriously Jim, look at the effing clown car that his campaign was.

The New York Post was lying left and right? The lefty media called the guy who confirmed what was in some of the emails, a Russian agent. Was there any evidence of that? Or is that what we now do to everyone who criticizes prominent democrats, like Hilary did to Tulsi Gabbard?

It's not journalistic standards to do what Politico did, and investigate whether the emails were valid, and then report honestly on what you found? Except maybe do it before the election, so that voters could decide if they wanted to consider that or not?

They didn’t have the info at the time. Again though, confirming a few emails is irrelevant if they don’t show clear wrongdoing.

Are you thinking about maybe bidding on some artwork?
