The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency

[Tiberius]

Quote

 

The Senate on Thursday went on record declaring “that the press is not the enemy of the people” — a rebuke to President Donald Trump, who declares the opposite on a regular basis. 

Senators adopted by unanimous consent a resolution from Democratic Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii and Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer of New York to declare the Senate’s support for a free press and the First Amendment protections afforded to journalists.

The resolution text was released the same day 350 newspapers ran editorials designed to push back on Trump’s criticisms of the media.

This isn't exactly a newsflash. We are all for free speech, just not made up crap pushed by the MSM to support their far left and anti-Trump agenda. As usual the left dresses their wolf in sheep's clothing.

[Tiberius]

Dems don't control the Senate, duh! Retard! 

[row_33]

so what's next week's big fake crap-your-pants moment concocted by the media?

I love how the "free press" has so innocently spun Trump's comment that 'fake news is the enemy of the people' into an attack on all journalists.

 

It's almost like they're going out of the way to make themselves the story. Acosta should sue for gimmick infringement.

99% of the media just parrot the same line they stole from someone else

 

what's to differentiate between the top 100 newspapers in the US today on national news?

They spin everything to fit their narrative of Trump hate to appease their retarded base. You know, the six brain dead liberals that actually watch CNN.

 

It's pure comedy at this point.

 

Remember when they spun the fish food episode with the Japanese Prime Minister? That's just one example of a trillion of them.

Headline on MSN is "Trump To Shake Up Military Leaders". Sorta sounds like just a little more turmoil in his administration, eh? Now read the article, he's replacing Generals, etc. who are retiring.

 

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/trump-to-shake-up-military-leadership-with-new-nominations-report/ar-BBM8rW0?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=HPCOMMDHP15

 

President Trump is expected to switch out commanders across the Middle East and Europe in the administration's most dramatic change to the US military leadership so far, according to a new report from The Wall Street Journal.

The Journal reported that the personnel shifts will affect officers fighting in the Middle East, as well as those working to counter Russia, overseeing Guantanamo Bay and engaging in stealth operations around the world.

Officials told the Journal that Army Lt. Gen. Richard Clarke is anticipated to be formally appointed to U.S. Special Operations Command, in Tampa, Fla. He would succeed Army Gen. Tony Thomas, who will retire next year. The Special Operations Command oversees the specialized forces of all military branches.

As of now, Clarke serves as the director of strategic plans and policy for the Pentagon's Joint Staff. He also served as operation officer at Joint Special Operations Command when the Pentagon initiated the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. At that post, Clarke played a key role in the mission, participating in the planning, training and execution of the raid.

Trump will likely nominate two other commanders to replace retiring heads of regional combatant commands, several U.S. officials told the Journal.

Air Force Gen. Tod Wolters is anticipated to be chosen to head the U.S. European Command and North Atlantic Treaty Organization Supreme Allied Commander, Europe.

Stelter/CNNABCCBS etc../Network journalists etc want Twitter to be a platform where they are the givers of information and we are just the mere subjects soaking it up.

 

That's not what Twitter is. They had their chance............... Everyone is a journalist on Twitter, and they hate that.

 

This isn't hard stuff.. We don't have to wait for them for information anymore.

We don't need ESPN for scores.

We can check the weather whenever we want

And that leads to the WRONG people winning elections and stuff!

It boggles the mind how bad the left is at this. You would think once they started barking about Trump being a draft dodger, someone on the left would have stood up and said something like "Ummm, folks, if we're going to spend the next two years melting down, let's do better."

 

But no. Now we see journalists trying to explain that maybe Trump isn't right in the head.

 

Just ridiculous. Especially after they spent all their time trying to elect this a woman who couldn't even climb a flight of stairs without handlers.

American pastor Andrew Brunson has been held captive in Turkey for nearly two years, and the Trump administration has been working to secure his release, but Turkish President Erdogan so far hasn’t given in.

 

Check out how the Washington Post framed it:

Trump tried to strong-arm Turkey into releasing a detained American pastor this month, but Erdogan, for the moment, appears unbowed. https://wapo.st/2nRXn5O

So what constitutes more of a free press?

 

1)  Trump stating correctly that 90% of the media is always against him; or

 

2)  Obama whining that only FOX doesn't smooch his behind 24/7

The Free press is covering all of this but clearly hiding that Obama is a homo, evidently.  Jeesh

I prefer Trump’s politics over Obama’s, but I prefer the character of Obama over Trump. 

 

I wonder B-Man, would you have pounced on Obama and demanded he resign if it was found that he kept company with whores and Russians. I’m legit asking. Or, would you have slammed Obama as being morally bankrupt?

Well Dude, As I wrote earlier, I'm not a fan of replying back and forth with other posters, to try and convince them that I am right.

 

However, you did ask an important (albeit leading ) question that would bring out the hypocrisy of posters here, on both sides of the fence.

 

I agree completely with your first sentence ( I prefer Trump’s politics over Obama’s, but I prefer the character of Obama over Trump. )

 

I prefer my President to be a manager.............not a Pope.

 

Everyone knew that The Donald was an unfaithful husband, but his idea of the Country and the freedom that is due INDIVIDUALS, is so preferable to the Quasi-socialism of Obama....................and Hillary) that it was an easy choice for me.

 

I don't agree with how you worded your question (trumps "whores were years ago and the Russian part is pig excrement, as you well know)

 

The fact is I did call Obama out for being morally bankrupt several times, his disgraceful words after Ferguson, his own overwhelming hypocrisy about responsibility, it was almost funny..................almost

 

 

But Don't believe I ever called for his Impeachment. That would have been wishful, simplistic thinking, like you are seeing from the board's members now.

 

 

 

Thanks.
