On the Media's War On Trump

[video=youtube;uz8C9VZzSxU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz8C9VZzSxU[/video]

 

Interesting discussion.

I thought that guy Wolff was right. Rather than being the story, the media should just be reporting the story.

There's a guy who seems to have a good handle on the proper role of the media.

 

Trump's statements and actions are what the media is responding to... The wall. Hanging up the phone on the Australian PM. Banning Muslim immigrants. Defunding California because an extreme bigot couldn't speak, because of rioting. Talking about sending troops into Mexico. Rudely dismissing a CNN reporter, and calling them "Fake News".

If Trump wants the media to embrace him, perhaps he should behave presidential, now that the campaign is over.

 

Wolff sounds like he's in trump's pocket.

I agree that the media should be investigating, finding the facts, then reporting them. Trump is showing himself to be highly unstable, so the public needs good, solid, reporting more than ever.

But I don’t think the media is at war with trump. Though, I’m sure our psychopathic prez believes it to his delusional core. If anything, the press has been far too easy on trump. They should be listing his every lie (if their newspapers have enough room), and next to the lies, they should print the actual facts. (Not the “Alternative Facts” Conway and the other trump shills love so much).

And the press should be digging deep into trump’s history to bring to light any dirty dealing or laws he's broken, etc. trump is incredibly secretive, and there is surely a very good reason for this. Only crooks depend so much on doing everything in darkness.

If there is a God, maybe the truth will set us free — of the monster, trump.

YouTube is owned by Google,...that = censorship.

It seems that YouTube scrubbed the video.

 

That's not how Gunzo Journalism works.

 

Always remember that media reporting on ebola, kim jong un, robert mugabe, cleveland browns, nazis, flat earthers, and many other things are overwhelmingly negative as well. Faking the news to create a false balance is not fair and balanced. If something is objectively bad, then it is not political or biased to report it as such.

 

Is there a specific reason why you posted that here AND in a PM to me in large block font?

 

Only in part - indeed the media frequently misquote and skew his words. "Muslim ban" was just one of many and they were forced to back off that claim. "He confessed to grabbing women" is another.

The media only embrace people who follow the New Left agenda most of the media advocates, and that necessarily excludes anyone with an R behind their name. The media's skew-factory on Trump quotes is just an example of how the media is campaigning 24/7 against the president.

 

What is being called objectively bad is often subjective as often the media are purposely skewing Trump's words to create yet another splash of sensational headlines. They're also running with stories with single unverified, uncorroborated sources. This is pure yellow journalism.

Also, regarding something that is objectively bad, it's not their place to say "bad" but rather to objectively point out the facts of both sides without mixing in their opinions and thoughts of what the audience should conclude.

 

This guy is pretty hot on media bias.
Insightful person.

 

Ok, so, genocide... we need equal weight on both sides of the question of whether genocide is good or bad?

 

No, you need to address the term in it's full context to see what it is referring to and how it is being used.

For example.
I wish to prevent a genocide vs I wish to enact a genocide.

God forbid someone makes a humourous comment about genocide and we have to kill him for it.

In general if in doubt, give the benefit of the doubt.

 

Is this the place where you tell us ban and shutdown are completely different?

“Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.”

"You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them," Mr Trump said.

"It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait.

"And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything.

"Grab them by the *****. You can do anything."

But I guess we know they are all liars.

Washington (CNN)A group of women who have publicly accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment and assault detailed their accounts of being groped, fondled and forcibly kissed by the businessman-turned-politician at a news conference on Monday.

Spin baby spin!

 

He did neither with regard to Muslims.

What did the executive order say?

Trump has gone easy on this issue. We do have a Muslim terrorism problem in the US. They're about 1% of the US population yet commit 95% of terrorism here. We should ban them - in fact we should have never started letting them in. We need to repeal every aspect of the 1965 Immigration Act.

Nothing there about him saying he grabbed anyone's vagene. Thanks for proving my point.

And you believe it.

Specifically timed on the eve of the 2016 election, quite amazingly timed, out of the blue, and then they vanished into the nothingness from which they emerged shortly thereafter. And you blindly believe unsubstantiated accusation.

 

You mean media spin on his statements and actions.

Oh no, he hung up on someone. Sky is falling. He did not "ban Muslim immigrants." That's a media lie. Nothing wrong with calling for loss of federal funding to someone not protecting free speech (your labeling it "extreme bigot" doesn't change that), and the rioting was liberal darling Antifa.

Yeah, CNN should be rudely dismissed. What's wrong with it? Just about every major news outlet out there deserves it. Oh dear, the horror, clutch pearls, faint on sofa, grab Kleenex.

"Behave presidential" is a liberal smear tactic. When Obama talked down to the cops, nobody said he wasn't "behaving presidential." Spare us the situational outrage.

By the way...

Mexican government says Trump never threatened to send troops to Mexico

Repeating fake news doesn't help your cause.

 

I don't suppose you noticed that it was you (U.S.) who has destroyed one Muslim nation after another so that they are homeless and have no place to go. So let's rephrase that statement of yours shall we? You should have said - We should have never starting murdering them and destroying their homes and countries.

It looks to me that they are giving you pay back.

 

LMAO... Oh yes, I'm quite angry about the Bush/Obama war machine, I assure you, but you have no concept of history in that area. They were the agitators, they invaders, the occupiers. Muslims originally only existed in the Arabian Peninsula until the immediate successors of Muhammad carried on his war against the infidel and expanded Islamic domains not by preaching the faith but rather by the sword. In that endless war of the sword, they repeatedly invaded and raped large chunks of southern Europe and kidnapped about 1,000,000 Europeans into North Africa alone for harems and slaves. Then there were the Christian children kidnapped into the Janissary corps.

Further, Sunni and Shia have warred against each other for the entire past 1,400 years since Muhammad's death.

The past 100 years where the West has had an upper-hand on the Islamic world is an exception to the general rule - for 1,300 years before that it was the Muslims with the upper hand, invading and pillaging at will. They occupied Europe for 1,000 years. But yeah, their plight is our fault.

Spare me.

First they invaded Europe as invaders, now they do it as beggars .Either way it's invasion and Europe should throw them out - again.

 

I'm sorry the media's hype has frightened you.

 

Oh, give it a rest for Christ's sake. Soon you will be telling me that you didn't really steal the land from the Indians because they migrated from Asia when Alaska was connected ...

.. so golly, I guess Japan had a right to bomb Pearl Harbour because you stole Hawaii from their Polynesian cousins.

 

That's what did it for him where the female vote is concerned. They actually believe that he did?

 

He seldom actually does what he says he is going to do. That's why they call them lies.
But he did in fact say it.

So tell me. How would he knew you could do it if he never tried it?

Still a suit pending by one of his grabies.

 

OK So only white people are guilty. Gotcha.
