The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency


Nanker

Recommended Posts

Luckily, after 201 heroic pages here on TBD, we have a heroic testament to what the Trump administration has REALLY accomplished. 

 

Manufacturing jobs created: 0

Beautiful Coal restored: Fail

Borders agitated: both

Bald hair cover sales per S Miller: Spiked

In 2018 it looks as though the president is winning the day. Industrial output is on a tear, and the last few months have seen the best run for growth in manufacturing jobs since the late 1990s.

From your link:

 

We are happy to provide the facts -- but you never reached out. In fact, DHS prevented 3,755 known or suspected terrorists from traveling to or entering the U.S. in FY 17. That's in addition to 17,526 criminals, 1,019 gang members, and 3,028 special interest aliens. #FactsFirst twitter.com/jimsciutto/sta…

Good precedent set by Warren here to follow anncmt by immediately taking questions from press. Let’s hope other candidates follow suit and don’t hide behind prefab videos and statements.

They want him assassinated. 

 

That will lead to the end of the republic. 

 

"The Republic" didn't end after Lincoln, McKinnley, or Kennedy were assassinated. Those were contentious times as well.  What's different this time?

GREAT MOMENTS IN DISPASSIONATE OBJECTIVITY: Politico’s congressional reporter pretty excited that ‘the kids are taking over the House!’

[Politico’s Rachael Bade] sounds excited. We’re not so excited. And we wouldn’t exactly say the kids are “taking over,” seeing as they voted to hand the gavel back to Nancy Pelosi, who’s 78 years old. 

 

 

She’s right though: While many in the new majority are getting a bit long in the tooth physically, the grownups are no longer running Congress. But really, what could go wrong this time…?

I thought that was fairly well-known.  The NYT has considered Trump a mortal enemy for nearly 30 years, even before "President Trump" was just a joke.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CHECK THE SNOWFALL IN HELL?

 

It must be snowing; otherwise how to explain that a senior NBC reporter resigned because, according to Wayne Dupree, the network is “not informing the American people of the ‘the failures of the generals and national security leaders,’ essentially becoming ‘a defender of the government against Trump’ and a ‘cheerleader for open and subtle threat-mongering.’”

As Sean Davis wrote at the Federalist two years ago, Watch A Bunch Of Journalists Freak Out After Being Asked If They Know Anybody Who Drives A Truck.

 

Exit quote: “It turns out that people who are paid large sums of money to opine on what Americans outside the Acela province think get very upset if you demonstrate that they don’t actually know any of the people about whom they pretend to be experts.”

MEDIA MODE D’JOUR:

 

1) Find an unimportant and non-influential dope who tweeted something dumb;


2) Assert or imply that said idiot speaks for an entire party or movement; and


3) Feel satisfied you have managed to discredit tens of thousands of people with one post.

 

The AOC dancing video and the phantom argument that “conservatives used it to smear her” was one example.

 

The 21st Century strawman.
