B-Man Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 DON SURBER: Media Misses The Big Story. It is the story of their lifetimes, and the journalists are blowing it — bigly. A billionaire playboy comes down from his three-story penthouse apartment overlooking Manhattan to enter the presidential race. He is a world figure, best-selling author, TV star, and ladies man. He offers himself as a tonic to the national morass, and an alternative to selecting another President Bush or Clinton. That is a fantastic story. America replaced an affirmative action hire with a competent businessman. While our real-life Batman may have been born a millionaire, he worked to expand his fortune 1,000-fold — just like the Bruce Wayne of fiction. How did the leading “conservative” periodical play it? “Witless Ape Rides Escalator” read the National Review headline. And media coverage after that was all downhill. The part of the country that still believes in the media is convinced that it is run by a bumbling Hitler who just got lucky on the economy and on avoiding World War 3 three or four times now. The press isn’t interested in giving us the story. The press is interested in selling us a narrative. . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 TV’s Trump News: Three-Fourths Impeachment and 93% Negative by Rich Noyes & Bill D´Agostino Original Article In the first 100 days since House Democrats began their impeachment push on September 24, ABC, CBS and NBC have aggressively aided the effort. A Media Research Center analysis finds the Big Three evening newscasts have battered the President with 93% negative coverage and promoted impeachment at the expense of nearly all other Trump news. At the same time, the broadcast networks donated at least 124 hours of wall-to-wall live coverage as they pre-empted regular programming in favor of House Democrat-led impeachment activities. On the other hand, the networks’ frenzy over impeachment has meant the Democratic presidential candidates have been barely visible on the evening newscasts .

B-Man Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 OR ANYTHING ELSE, REALLY: We Can’t Trust the Media to Report Honestly on Iran. In the newest iteration of the story from NBC News, we learn that after Iran shot down a U.S. drone this summer, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and John Bolton, Trump’s then-national security adviser, tried to persuade Donald Trump to kill the Iranian terrorist leader. Trump, instinctively uneasy about escalating Middle East conflict, resisted the pressure. According to “current and former senior administration officials,” NBC News states, the president instead drew a red line: He would authorize the killing of Soleimani only “if Iran’s increased aggression resulted in the death of an American.” Trump even tweeted, warning the mullahs that further violence would have repercussions. Well, after subsequent escalations by Iran, and proxies attacked the United States embassy and murdered an American contractor, Trump followed through on his threat to take out Soleimani. Apparently Ali Khamenei did not take Trump literally or seriously. The big problem with the NBC News account of the killing is that it conflicts almost entirely with the premise and tone of much of the earlier coverage, most notably an adjective-laden New York Times story published the day after Soleimani was killed, which claimed that Trump’s decision was extreme and impulsive. Today’s pravda reflects today’s needs, comrade. . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koko78 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 8 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: The Vox article about the "unsigned" essay is quite interesting. Quote American democracy is broken. Thank God we're not a democracy, then. Quote We have a president who lost the popular vote, a Senate where the “majority” represents about 15 million fewer people than the “minority,” and a Supreme Court where two justices were nominated by that president and confirmed by that unrepresentative Senate. Uh, when was the Senate ever supposed to be "representative"? Apparently someone failed Poli-Sci 101. Of course, if Trump's picks to the Supreme Court aren't valid because of the "unrepresentative" Senate , I'd really like their explanation how RBG/Kagan/Sotomayor are validly on the bench. Quote It also would be a good idea to draw the boundaries of those new states to ensure that the electorate within each of the new states supports such amendments. So, of course, all of these 127 new DC states should be designed so that they vote correctly... That's not even getting into how ***** retaahded the actual Haavahd proposal to make 127 new states out of 10 square miles of DC is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 MSNBC Legal Expert Donated Cash to Democrat Congresswoman Who Voted for Impeachment by Joseph Vazquez Original Article It’s no question MSNBC has been begging for President Donald Trump’s impeachment. So, how does MSNBC legal analyst Jill Wine-Banks handle the issue of impeachment? By giving money to a Democratic Party House member who would later vote for impeachment. FEC records revealed that MSNBC Legal Analyst Jill Wine-Banks gave $500 to Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL.) on May 13, 2019. Underwood voted for Trump’s impeachment in December, though she represents a district in Illinois that backed Trump in 2016. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
