Kick that Ball

The New York Times, the Washington Post, the lovers on MSNBC's Morning Joe, CNN, the list goes on and on and on ... the newsmakers and the fake newsmakers (mostly late-nite TV) ... almost to a person are calling our current president unbalanced (aka, crazy). These accusations arise lately out of Trump's tweeting that our former president, Obama, had his phones tapped at Trump Tower right before the election.

Until we know the source and veracity of Trump's accusations against our former president, there really is no basis for calling Trump crazy ... other than loyalty to Obama, a known craven corrupter and Deep State conniver. In the meantime, I believe that much of the media's calling Trump nutso is, in and of itself, unbalanced.

Like Charlie Brown continuing to believe that Lucy won't snatch away the football at the last moment before he kicks it, the lefty media does acknowledge that they continually underestimate Trump. Yet, in this instance, they are certain that he is lying and has finally lost his marbles. So they are confidently taking their next shot at the football.

Unbalanced

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.
