MSNBC's Tur: Like Putin, Trump Might Kill Journalists

Well what do you expect? She shacked up with Keith Olbermann for three years.

MSNBC took its fear mongering smears of the Donald Trump administration to a dark new low Monday afternoon when reporter Katy Tur suggested the president’s war with the media would start racking up actual casualties. During an interview with Nebraska Senator Deb Fischer, a Republican, Tur suggested Trump would take a page from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s playbook and start targeting journalists for death.

“As we know, there’s, since 2000, been a couple dozen suspicious deaths of journalists in Russia who came out against the government there,” Tur reminded the Senator before unscrupulously suggesting Trumps distaste for the media would escalate, “Donald Trump has made no secret about going after journalists and his distaste for any news that doesn’t agree with him here. Do you find that this is a dangerous path he is heading down?”

It is Tur who is heading down a “dangerous path.” I guess because Trump has a “distaste” for negative news coverage, he is going to start murdering journalists? I guess she sorta forgot Obama’s railing against Fox News for eight years. Trump “has made no secret” of “going after” journalists because, as far as I know, he hasn’t ordered an attack on any of them.

Attacking someone who criticizes you is more like Keith Olbermann.

Fischer defended the President, saying that it’s his job to foster relationships with leaders from countries around the globe. “And I believe that President Trump will recognize, or does recognize right now, who Putin is,” she added in his defense.

But Tur wasn’t having any of it, pressuring the Senator by asking, “What makes you say that he does recognize who Putin is when he hasn’t said so publicly?” The Senator tried to argue that the new president wasn’t going to sour the relationship right out of the gate, but was cut off by her interviewer. “There is a difference between attacking and flattering,” Tur spat.

Yes there is, Ms. Tur. In fact, they are what we call “opposites.” Trump has neither attacked nor flattered Putin, although denying the reality of Putin’s savagery toward opponents takes real politik too far.

This kind of obvious hatred is the result of Trump criticizing Tur during the campaign. She didn’t like being called out publicly for her bias and is giving it back to Trump in spades.

Too bad journalism isn’t a pissing match. Tur would beat most males hands down.
