Which is worse, Trump choosing to interview on Russian state-owned TV or

Posted: Sep 9, 2016

or claiming to be tricked by Larry King into doing an interview on Russian-owned state TV?

Is his judgment so poor Larry King can fool him? Or is his judgment so poor he actually thinks it is a good idea to go on Russian TV and badmouth the U.S.?

There is a frequent poster here that is always accusing liberals of being Marxists and communists. What do you think of a Republican candidate that is acting as the puppet of a Russiian quasi-dictatorship?

People who don't understand the broadcasting business - like you - are falling for this.

Just as the libs thought they would.

The world of broadcasting is a complex tangle of rights that are sold by program originators to a variety of outlets that stretch across the world. The same is true of news media (for instance, AP sells its stories to hundreds of publishers, both domestic and foreign).

And sometimes those rights even grant the purchaser to re-sell the program.

It's simply not feasible or reasonable to expect that anyone who does an interview should comb through all the variety of possibilities as to where the program MIGHT wind up.

I wouldn't expect this of Clinton or any other political or non-political person invited to do an interview.

Move along - there's nothing to see here. And stop being so gullible.

Another Trump gaffe in a long line of his Russian groveling - Good judgment?

Hmmmm, Larry King said:

"I don't know what Trump knew. He couldn't have known it was a podcast, because he just did my podcast," King told CNN's Erin Burnett Friday night.
The two men have known each other for decades. After Trump appeared on King's podcast, King repeatedly lobbied Trump for a TV interview, he told Burnett: "I've said, 'You gotta do my TV show,' he said, 'I'm working on it, I'm working on it.'"

So, if they are such good friends, why didn't Trump understand this. I guess people give Trump a lot of leeway on his presidential learning curve, eh?

A lot of people say that if Trump released his tax forms, much of his "Russian connections" would be revealed.

I wonder: Who has the better chance of influencing Putin? - "Mrs. Reset Button"?? Right.

Tell me another one, Mommy, pweeeeze! I'm not sleepy.

Trump crazy like a fox. If you don't know that he's an - excellent judge of character

...you don't get it.

Putin's most vulnerable flaw is his gigantic ego, and you can be very sure that it hasn't escaped Trump's notice.

Nor do you come at Putin with insulting, bellicose braggadocio as Clinton is doing. She has already nuked her relationship with Putin, which is why it's fortunate that she'll never see the White House except in the visiting line.

Things in the domain of international relations are rarely what they seem to be on the surface. Learn to drill down.

This is like a soap opera playing out. Will Bernie win against Hillary as more negative publicity is coming out about her? Will Trump win over Cruz since he annoys so many or will Trump lose because people dislike him more than Cruz.

It is a huge joke to say that we the people are choosing our candidates for president. The media are making the candidates to suit their viewpoints. Most states do not vote till May like mine. By the time I get to vote, it will be the lesser of two evils again. If you ask me, the only fair thing is to put all the candidates on the ballots and let the people in all states vote at the same time. Only then will they not come out getting ahead by these ridiculous polls they concoct. I have ...

The Russian response to Barack Obama’s announcement that he was expelling 35 diplomats over the alleged cyber attack on the US election, was fast, and in some cases, rather amusing. As officials in Moscow said that US diplomats would be ordered to leave in a tit-for-tat response, the Russian Embassy used Twitter to make its point with little panache. “President Obama expels 35 🇷iplomats in Cold War deja vu.

It might be that Putin is bluffing, of course, but if so it would seem very foolish on his part if he had to back down - and I don't think he'd paint himself into that kind of a corner. He's not a fool. Even so, it still shouldn't be a back-page story IMHO, because this goes along with the polls showing that the Russian populace has been "educated" by their government to believe that the United States is their greatest enemy. We haven't had this kind of overt ...
