The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency

UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD: Politico, CNN *still* won’t name the anti-Trump “whistleblower” everyone knows, but they have no problem broadcasting worldwide the picture and identity of a doctor who who warned authorities of a potential “SARS-like” outbreak in December 2019, but was reprimanded by Wuhan police and is most certainly going to be a target of the Chinese secret police.

 

 

 

 

Because the deranged think that Trump will have the guy killed, right after he sells Alaska to the Russians and puts black people “back in chains.”

A Romney win in 2012 would have spared us the extremely destructive corruption, partisanship, and race-baiting of Obama’s second term — along with its truly dreadful foreign policy efforts. But at most it would have merely slowed the decline that Trump is actually reversing.

Stephanie Grisham: Networks refusing White House airtime after good week for Trump

by Mike Brest

Original Article

 

 

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham claimed a slew of networks declined to book a White House official for Sunday programming after a good news week for President Trump.Grisham, in a Friday night appearance on Hannity, acknowledged the White House will not get much airtime to discuss the State of the Union address, the president getting acquitted in the Senate impeachment trial, and a strong jobs report."I have got to tell you there is not going to be one White House official on any of the Sunday shows this weekend. Only Fox Business is taking a White House official to talk about what an amazing week this president has had,

I haven't seen anything yet - how are things looking for both houses in November?  

 

 

(Yes, I know that I have posted articles about November, but)

 

I don't think that anything is certain yet.

 

I would only posit that, with Donald Trump actually on the ballot (unlike 2018)  the GOP will do much better.

Well, West Virginia is trying to take a bunch of Virginia's counties in order to increase their amount of Senators per Katy Tur. Back in the day I would have welcomed such a pretty woman with so little brains.

It’s ok, it was just a GOP tent.

No big whoop, right media?

 

 

The only thing we’d see from CNN is how Trump’s hate is fueling division and even domestic terrorism. There would be protests in the streets of DC with yahoos holding signs of Trump as Hitler and Hillary Clinton would find some way to tweet something uber-cringy about Russia and America deserving better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But of course there’s none of that, and you don’t have to like Trump to notice this. You just have to have a pulse.

If you think the news industry’s credibility problem is bad now, you haven’t seen anything yet.

 

It is going to get much, much worse the closer we get to Election Day, if Tuesday’s slipshod news reporting and commentary is any indication.

 

The New York Times’s Maggie Haberman, for example, tweeted the following falsehood at around 5:30 p.m. Monday evening: “Republican voter registration in NH is down roughly 20k voters from 2016 to now. It’s a reminder that Trump’s increased GOP popularity is in part because in some places, the GOP registration rolls have shrunk.”

 

This is not only false, but it has been debunked several times. At some point, repeating the lie becomes a choice.

 

Earlier than that, MSNBC’s Katy Tur, who hosts a politics news show, sought to throw cold water on the strong economic numbers touted by the Trump White House, arguing that the economy is not working for the individual who spends up to 360 months paying off his car loan.

 

“When I ask people if they’re voting for Donald Trump, I hear about their 401(k)s a lot,” she said during a live broadcast from New Hampshire, “but there are those out there who don't have a 401(k), and there are those out there who this economy is not really working for them.”

Tur added, “They might have a job, but it's not a job that pays their bills. They can get a car, but it's a loan that will take 30 years.”

 

I have no idea what she is talking about. I don’t think even she knows. (What else is new?) Car loans can take anywhere between 12 and 84 months to pay off. Who are these people agreeing to 30-year car loans? (Follow up question: Are they looking to finance a new car? No reason.)

 

Earlier that morning, CNN’s Cristina Alesci warned viewers to be wary of recently surfaced audio of 2020 Democratic candidate Mike Bloomberg proudly promoting the stop-and-frisk policies he championed as mayor of New York City. After all, the CNN reporter claimed, as we don’t have the full audio of the former mayor’s remarks, we don’t have the full context. But this is not true. The full audio of Bloomberg’s comments has been available online since 2015.

“So, here's the thing, important context here," she said. "We don't have the full tape."

 

Alesci continued, “So, this is obviously snippets that have been released, the podcaster and the writer that released this sound is clearly a Bernie supporter, if you look at his twitter feed, he's very anti-Bloomberg. He's promoting a hashtag ‘#BloombergIsARacist.'"

 

A simple Google search brings up the full audio, which was posted shortly after Bloomberg delivered his address in 2015 at the Aspen Institute. Also, all that stuff about the alleged political affiliations of the person who posted the audio online Monday evening is irrelevant to the content of the surging 2020 candidate's past remarks.

 

Lastly, and relatedly, there is NBC News’s Heidi Przybyla. She shared a conspiracy theory at around 7:30 a.m. alleging that the Kremlin is responsible for making the hashtag “#BloombergIsRacist” a top-trending news topic on social media. The hashtag, which is definitely organic, cropped up Tuesday morning following the release of the Bloomberg audio. Przybyla later deleted her tweet promoting the conspiracy theory, which she had not even bothered to double-check before sharing with her 145,000 Twitter followers.

 

These are four major reporting errors in the span of just 10 hours.

 

For many in this industry, the lesson of the 2016 election does not appear to be “Do better.”

 

It appears to be “Resist harder, by any means necessary.”

NBC News has reported some recent goings-on with the Trump administration this way:

 

 

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson found some media malpractice in that tweet:

 

 

But all too often the mainstream media do spin stories as if there’s only one side, and the Dems really appreciate it!

Insanity. 

 4 years, 1 impeachment attempt, 1 coup attempt, 95% negative coverage in the press for all that time ... and ZERO journalists are behind bars. You'd think educated people like the elite media would understand how badly that hurts their argument.

 

You just don't get it. There are actual journalists in other countries, in completely different circumstances, whose lives are in danger by wholly different interests. Therefore, what passes for 'journalism' in the US puts these brave men and women in grave danger of something something something you actual literal super mecha-Nazi. They're goddamn heroes who deserve purple hearts, silver stars, blue moons, red hearts - and don't touch their lucky charms!

From the article:

 

Now, Trump is always going to present the best case he can. And yes, he lies. This is provable. But the strength of this rally wasn’t about the facts and figures.

 

It was a group of people who felt like they had someone in their corner, that would fight for them. Some people say “well obviously they’re having a great time. They’re in a cult.”

 

I don’t think that’s true. The reality is that many people I spoke to do disagree with Trump on things. They don’t always like his attitude. They wish he wouldn’t tweet so much. People who are in cults don’t question their leaders. The people I spoke with did, but the pros in their eyes far outweighed the cons.

 

They don’t love him because they think he’s perfect. They love him despite his flaws because they believe he has their back.

I could be wrong, but wasn't Bloomberg News supposed to refrain from reporting on Mini Mike's campaign and those campaigns of others? 

You could be half right.

 

They're not allowed to report on Fascist Frodo

They're allowed to report on others, especially #orangemanbad
