The losers keep losing. Much of the American media were on the wrong side of the recent presidential election. (You know who they are ...) This is OK, but they were also tripping over each other to smear Trump and Co. with anything that might allow Hellary to win the White House. The puff pieces on Clinton were as numerous as hot dogs at a baseball game. And the Wikileaks releases have shown a shocking degree of collusion between the Democrat party and many media personalities. Now 68% of Americans think that the media are biased ... see: Gallup Poll. And as a result, most media outlets are leaking readers and viewers at an alarming rate and are being forced to cut back employees and coverage. Even the New York Times, the supposed "paper of record," has issued an unapologetic apology for the way that they had covered the election ... see: Deadline Story.
So have the preponderance of the media changed their ways and moved back to traditional reportage ... the who, what, where, how and sometimes, where appropriate, the why of current events? No, not really. Trump's recent administration selections are being vilified as being racists, KKK supporters, anti-Jewish, pro-Russian, and hating puppies ... all on the flimsiest of evidence. It is almost laughable how stretched much of this yellow journalism is. Not only are these media imposters still doing mainly opposition research, but they color their a stories with pejorative nouns, adjectives, adverbs and verbs. Here are just a few recent examples: overtly partisan, Fuhrer Trump, outrageous, divisive symbol, disastrous,Trump Tower bubble, sharp pugnacious, etc. And these where in news stories not in opinion pieces.
It appears that many of these media outlets do not want to relearn what journalism is until it is too late.
Here's a few facts: Less than 60% voter turnout. Less than half of those who showed-up voted for Trump: not a mandate. Get over yourselves and try to mend fences instead of stoking the flames of division, you Nazis!
ReplyDeleteA very good example of the unbalanced tipping even further off center ... By the way, you forgot that 60% turnout was augmented by corpses, felons and dreamers ...
DeleteNo spin required.
ReplyDeleteFACT: Trump settled a lawsuit attesting fraud for $25M today.
FACT: Last week "Bannon actually said: “Darkness is good. Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power. It only helps us when they (liberals) get it wrong. When they’re blind to who we are and what we’re doing."
Bannon also denied being a white nationalist but said he does in fact have a plan—one that will last at least 50 years in his mind.
“I’m not a white nationalist,” he said. “I’m a nationalist. I’m an economic nationalist. The globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in Asia. The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f–ked over. If [Trump is successful] we’ll get 60 percent of the white vote, and 40 percent of the black and Hispanic vote and we’ll govern for 50 years. That’s what the Democrats missed."
And Bannon split an infinitive to boot ... the horrors! If the Republicans get 40% of the black and Hispanic vote, I would imagine that they were doing something right ... right? I guess this must be disallowed?
DeleteAlso "to whom" not "to who" ... and he headed Breitbart! This will not stand!
