B-Man Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) The mainstream media is in open warfare with Trump. Trump is returning the favor. Who’s winning in the battle for public opinion? According to a WSJ/NBC News poll released today, Trump is winning. The Hill reports: A majority of Americans believe news organizations are too critical of President Trump, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Sunday. Fifty-one percent of Americans said the media is too critical of Trump, while 41 percent think news organizations have been fair and objective. The poll also found that Americans are becoming more optimistic about where the country is headed, with 40 percent saying it is headed in the right direction. In December, 33 percent felt that way, compared to 18 percent in July. Edited February 27, 2017 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're being petulant little whiny princesses acting like they've been scorned at the junior prom. They'd have to actually report something to be critical.

Please ignore me http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/george-w-bush-trump-media-235430 Duh! George Bush giving Republicans a basic civics lesson your average high schooler understands already Former President George W. Bush said Monday that the media is “indispensable to democracy,” a break from the position of his fellow Republican, President Donald Trump, who has called the press “the enemy of the American people.” “I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy. That we need the media to hold people like me to account,” Bush told Matt Lauer, anchor of NBC’s “Today” show. “I mean, power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive, and it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different poll format...but I recall a poll a few years ago that ranked Congress below lice, cockroaches, and Nickelback. But slightly above telemarketers, the Kardashians, and Ebola. Given that Pelosi may very well be the most toxic person in Congress, it's a reasonable extrapolation that she's slightly less popular than, say, gonorrhea or head lice.

B-Man Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 POLLING: Donald Trump is the least popular person in Washington… except for everyone else. The approval rating for the combined House and Senate stands at 29/60. This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise because for a very long time now Congress has enjoyed rankings which are perhaps only slightly higher than that of Charles Manson. Still, if President Trump can take consolation from anything it’s the fact that the White House is still more popular by a margin of double digits. Also of interest is the “Right Track / Wrong Track” number. Last September it stood at 30/62. This month it’s at 40/51. Not stellar, but at least heading in the right direction. How about the political parties themselves? The Republicans, sitting at 32/60, are about as welcome as ants at a picnic. In fact, you couldn’t be much less popular than the GOP unless you happen to be… Democrats. They managed to slide in at 31/58. In terms of the individual power players inside the Beltway, Donald Trump might be able to find at least a small bit of “good news” when the mirror is held up to other influential figures. In the House of Representatives, Speaker Paul Ryan might be feeling rather glum about his 34% approval mark which is even worse than Trump’s. The only thing which might cheer him up a bit is to see that his colleague Nancy Pelosi is sitting at 19. Over on the Senate side, Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer are nearly in a dead heat racing for the bottom with rankings in the low to mid teens. It’s at least somewhat interesting that you rarely hear any of these other numbers discussed on cable news or written about at any length in the nation’s major newspapers. Bad news for Donald Trump is a headline. Bad news for other government leaders (particularly Democrats) seems to be of far less interest. The fact is that the nation is restive at the moment and undergoing a period of serious change. Doesn’t fit the narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 How outraged were they that Bill Clinton got blow jobs and hummers in the Oval Office? Hmmm? (pun intended) I can't recall their outrage at that. Oh yes. I do. I remember Schmucky Schumer being outraged that his young daughter asked him, "Daddy, what is 'oral sex'?" He told her that it's when "people talk about sex". What a prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 As goofy as he looks, the more videos by this guy that I see, the more I like him. When people complain about Trump endorsing or criticizing companies, they don't seem to consider that news media corporations are also just companies, so isn't giving them favored access at press conferences the same thing? Why does the New York Times or CNN or Fox deserve preferential treatment? They don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All hail MSNBC and CNN, eh. Sail On, Oh Ship of State. Used to be, decades ago, that the State of the Union wasn't a joint address to Congress, but just a letter sent to them from the President. I actually hope that, next year, Trump just up and says "Fine, if you're going to boycott it, there's no sense in going through the whole circus. I'll just send you a report." Just to watch the left melt down over "He's not addressing Congress! It's unconstitutional! The president's required to address the joint session of Congress we're boycotting!" Of course, it could also be that Waters, et al., are boycotting in hopes that someone blows up the Capitol, and they're the only ones left in government.

B-Man Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The wages of fake news This article by Victor Davis Hanson at the Hoover Institution’s “Defining Ideas” Journal offers an excellent compendium of the bogus reporting through which the mainstream media has attempted to take President Trump down. Hanson writes: In just his first month in office, reporters have already peddled dozens of fake news stories designed to discredit the President—to such a degree that little they now write or say can be taken at face value. No, Trump did not have any plans to invade Mexico, as Buzzfeed and the Associated Press alleged. No, Trump’s father did not run for Mayor of New York by peddling racist television ads, as reported by Sidney Blumenthal. No, there were not mass resignations at the State Department in protest of its new leaders, as was reported by the Washington Post. No, Trump’s attorney did not cut a deal with the Russians in Prague. Nor did Trump indulge in sexual escapades in Moscow. Buzzfeed again peddled those fake news stories. No, a supposedly racist Trump did not remove the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the White House, as a Time Magazine reporter claimed. No, election results in three states were not altered by hackers or computer criminals to give Trump the election, as implied by New York Magazine. No, Michael Flynn did not tweet that he was a scapegoat. That was a media fantasy endorsed by Nancy Pelosi. Want more? Hanson refers us to Daniel Payne at The Federalist. {snip} In this context, the new president stands to gain much at little cost, at least for now, by treating the media as the nemesis it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
