Sean Hannity is the man: of course the stock market is Obama's fault.

[cincymma79]

Good use of hyperbole to deflect from Trump's ever-growing pile of failures.

Like I said before. Hang in there. You’ve got seven years of this left

 

[WorldofWarcraft]

So, we are all in agreement that this is Trump's economy, then.

When the stock market bounces back up, Obama can no longer be given any credit.

 

[HomerThompson]

Exactly, this is the big takeaway. We live in a world where his level of dishonest blind partisanship is handsomely rewarded. Hannity is a just one person and there are lots of people even more crazy than he is. But your observation here is a symptom of bigger, societal and political problems that our country face. Poor education, tribalism, poor journalism, etc..

Sure, but it was all spun the same by the media. FOX was right there patting him on the back, and CNN was claiming he had no responsibility for it. Now that it went south for a few days, Hannity losing his mind, and CNN has a goddamn stock market graph taking up half the screen, with 24 hour coverage of a topic they barely touched over the past year.

Like I said, it's embarrassing, and they are the ones driving the divide. There isn't one honest news channel you can tune into these days. It's fucking pathetic.

Ok, but CNN happened to be right here. He had limited influence on it. But he claimed he did every chance he got.
You can't blame them for now pointing that out.
Not really two sides issue because in this case, one side has been correct from the start. And the other side Fox and Trump have been misleading from the start.
If Trump would have handled it like any other president. There would be no issue now. But he has been purposely misleading causing this situation.

The reason why he gets so much criticism has been brought upon him by his site. The right in this case.

They aren’t pointing out he had no effect now

Bruh. Even without the criminal investigation he's facing, there's no way his fat ass lasts 7 more years in that job while eating Mcdonalds and not exercising.

 

[HereticBD]

How? By all of a sudden giving Trump the credit they were denying him for the past year, because it's convenient?

They're not "right", they're just partisan, and will flip right back to the old "he has nothing to with it" talking point, when it goes back up.

Look, I can say FOX is a terrible network, who plays partisan games all the time. Can you do the same with CNN?

 

[FacePunch]

There isn't a single thing that comes out of Hannity's shit mouth that is worth listening to.

Sit bet that if all dems try to run on is he’s racist they lose?

 

[IGotAHugePeckah]

No? Do you get to take credit when something is good and pass it off on someone else when it's bad?

Because Trump was lying in the first place, not CNN. If Trump wasn't lying in the first place there would be no way for CNN to spin it now.

No, I only get CNN where I live no Fox. But I have to say they have good programs still. Outside of the shows that mostly just feature political commentary.
From CNN they have this "Quest Express". That guy has been reporting accurately about the stock market the whole time. He is also pretty funny.
His guest as well. But as far as I can tell they still tell people that Trump has only limited influence, but they harshly criticise him for lying in the first place.

 

[luckyshot]

Do idiots really think the market will climb forever? Ahh, endless growth.. The main tenant if the comically stupid economist bible.

Except you've just described the basic tenant of our capitalistic paradigm: the only healthy economy is a growing economy. In fact, not only must it grow continuously, but above a certain rate.

That's like saying "Outside of 90% of it's programming, it's pretty fair."

Sorry, but if you can't even admit that CNN is completely partisan propaganda network, not unlike FOX News, then we have nothing further to discuss. I get it, they tell you what you want to hear, so they're not as bad. I was just expecting a little more honesty from you.

 

[AFCrookie]

Nah. I don't pretend to know what's gonna happen in this crazy world on a day to day. It seemed entirely possible to me that Trump would successfully scuttle the Mueller investigation, making this country a dumber, Christian version of modern day Turkey under Erdogan. It's conceivable that this moron will be shuffled off Nixon style, with the promise of no criminal prosecution if he simply resigns.

Acting like you have a good idea what's going to happen next in this shit show is folly.

Because they are not on the same level as FOX. If you would ask me if I think MSNBC is on the same level, I could see it.
But its just not the case with CNN. They might be left-leaning but are far from the same kind of network like Fox.

Sure they are not in favor of Trump, but most of their criticism is mostly justified as it was with Obama. Remember they are journalists.
It is their job to report and critic the people in power. If you support Trump you might not like that, but that is their purpose.

 

[HereticBD]

Because they are not on the same level as FOX.

Yes, they are.

I don't know what you could find so bad about MSNBC over CNN, other than an annoying mouthpiece like Rachel Maddow, who is comparable to Sean Hannity, who seems to the bane of most of FOX News' criticism. If that's all it takes, check out Don Lemon for a few days.

I do get Don Lemon with CNN international. And I can see the criticism.
But is still not the same as Fox and Friends.
Trump tweets about a news show more than anything. And they talk to him directly.
You don't see the difference between that and Don Lemon?
Trump is in cooperation with that show. He tweets out their name for promotion and in return, they report about him extremely positively.
To the extent that they straight up lie.

 

[BOWHUNTER]

Nobody lives Daddy more than Hannity it's amazing to watch

 

[MacDuffle]

The last market crash was never really fixed. This is kind of Obama’s fault.

Anyone with a background in economics will tell you that popular public opinion of world leaders does not impact a national economy anywhere close to as much as literal, tangible foreign/domestic policy and trade agreements do

If you want to blame a presidency for major economic shifts you're going to need to come to that argument armed with a bundle of concrete policy decisions because "liking" or "disliking" a world leader does not crash an economy unless you are playing in a sandbox declaring yourself the prime minister of hungary at school recess
