However, much you hate the corporate media, it’s not enough.

[CFCMahomet]

It’s not violent rhetoric to suggest that the warhawks should have to go fight the wars they start.

[coachm]

I’m old enough to remember when the media thought anyone named Cheney was a war criminal.

[marymcreynolds]

MSM never uses violent language, though. Ha.

[jaredlallatin]

Stop with the "violent language" nonsense. Speech is not violence. Hurt feelings is not having suffered violence. Freedom to speak is necessary for freedom. Freedom to challenge, hurt, offend, refute, disagree is necessary for Freedom. Defending freedom of speech is a hill I will happily die on.

Because he thinks the neocons who send American soldiers into battle should have have to be at the front lines themselves? Because that is what he said.

Why dont you ask the people of IRAQ if they think the Cheney family has been violent towards them

I remembered Maxine Waters wanting the try Bush and Cheney for war crimes with a bunch of Democrats cheering her on.

My hubby always said those that sends out kids to war would be much different if they were sent instead! Wars would no longer be!

I have no dog in this fight as I live in Spain, but why don't you guys ever put his speech in a manner so that viewers can actually have full context and info? 🤔
I've noticed American news media fully believe their viewers have no agency of thought, and I'm tending to believe as much.

[Guitarzzzzzzz]

I have completely lost faith in 'legacy' media.

[jocho]

Media and gaslighting go hand in hand.

[Jimi_Lee]

Liz should have been so concerned and critical when her father was slaughtering millions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[healthfadsfade]

My goodness the media has become a self-parody machine 😂

[aivito]

How dare you threaten the people trying to drag innocent young men to death in the Middle East by telling them to go fight themselves 😡😡

[ludwiglanestudios]

20 years ago, the legacy media hated anything to do with Cheney. Now in 2024, Republicans have a gag reflex when they hear "Cheney"

[SteveOhs]

One supports wars, the other end wars and started no new wars. I’ll take some ugly words over innocent people dying everyday

[Josef_R]

It's crazy how they lie to us about what he said when we are hearing what he said.

[catbomber]

Let's see what the propoganda says today

[billyrepko]

Its was not a threat against her. It was a what if she was in their shoes comment.
