Anonymous Hacks Donald Trump's Voicemail and Leaks the Messages (betanews.com)
Mark Wilson writes: In the run-up to the presidential election, few days go by when Donald Trump isn't hitting the headlines for something he's said or done. The bombastic billionaire looks set to become the Republican candidate, and his journey towards the White House is littered with offense and controversy, and back in December Anonymous declared war on him. The loose collective of hackers and activist made its declaration after Trump announced plans to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. One of the first strikes in Anonymous' war sees the group hacking the businessman's voicemail and leaking the messages. The messages appear to show that Trump had a surprisingly cosy relationship with the more left-leaning section of the media than one might imagine.
There is very little "left-leaning" media in the USofA. Most of it would be corporate-leaning.
And they love him because (exactly as he says) he brings in the ratings for them. He's always ready for a friendly interview.
Hmm... No condemnation of bullying...
No condemnation of hacking a system...
It's cool when it happens to non-politically approved persons... Right slashdot?
Morons.
The Donald got caught with a "hot mic" on a commercial break of the Morning Joe talk show on MSNBC, where Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were VERY friendly with him. Hell, it almost like it seemed like they were giving him campaign advice during the chat.
I'd imagine that CNN loves him as well, simply for the ratings boost he's given to the Republican debates.
NSA and all the other agencies are in the executive branch and work for obama. maybe you should shush.
Don't listen to just me, several studies and reports have said what I'm about to say, including an Ivy league school. The US has become almost text book fascism as defined by Mussolini. Meaning, you can not separate regulators from Corporations because the regulators work for the corporations. Regulatory capture has occurred in every sector of the economy. It is really easy to see, but you have to at least glance at it.
Main stream media simply works for those same interests. Again, it's easy to see if you care to look. "Money" and "Ratings" are a byproduct of the control the establishment has over the people using media.

The easiest way to get Americans to vote for someone the outside world does not like is to make it obvious they do not like them. Americans will hold their nose and elect Satan himself if a bunch of foreigners acted like we couldn't. The overwhelming vast majority of Americans agree on one thing, foreigners do not have the right to tell us what to do.
Keep it up and Trump will be president.
Who, unlike Trump, is sane and has actual policy positions and ethics he's demonstrated for 30 years.
I don't really like being in the position of defending Trump but when has he said he'd attack foreign people and countries? Specifically?
I checked Google and the only thing I'm seeing is where he said he'd have opened fire on the Paris terrorists. I guess, with some mental gymnastics, one could construe that into saying that he'd attack foreign people and countries? However, I'm pretty sure that even some of the French said that. Actually, I think they did.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
Yet you're paraphrasing. Do you have a link to the transcript of that comment? I should think you'd have actually quoted what he said. I mean, it's Trump. There's a gazillion things wrong with him. There are countless reasons that people have to not want him to be the president. Some of them are even good reasons. It should be easy to find that quote - and, again, Google's not finding anything using those terms.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
The last time the politicians compromised, the American people got the Iraq war. I prefer gridlock over compromise.
Un. Fucking. Believable.
I don't really care if I get modded down so far I can't edit my hosts file for moo-ing.
This is the most vacuous piece of reasoning I have ever in my life come across, but tragically, that's probably because I live in Saneland, which is the geographical area NOT occupied by the contiguous United States. It's just so wrong in so many ways there quite literally is no way to respond respectfully to it, unless it were uttered by a bespectacled, slightly sociopathic eleven year-old. In which case I would tell him to stop talking until he's finished his homework.
I despair of you, you know that? I am saddened by what your country—and you—have been reduced to. And I grew up with the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, with the Nixon resignation and Reagan's arms for hostages constitutional fuckuppery. I breakfasted under a Doomsday clock that was just two minutes to midnight.
But nothing compares to the pass you have brought your nation—and, God help us, this planet—to now.
Mod me down; label me a troll. But I used to be your neighbour. I used to be your friend.
Crumb's Corollary: Never bring a knife to a bun fight.
Without an actual counter-argument you realize that it's more likely that your post will be modded "troll", right?
A rolling stone is worth two in the bush!
Ad hominem. Why won't you think of the children of the communist countries ? How many millions dead in the name of Bernies ideas? Oh, but sure, Scrooge, very compelling. Run along child, the cake is a lie.
Sanders' ideal are the Nordic countries. Care to expand on the millions of dead there?
