This is like taking the word of a Sinclair owned station... Whatever side of the issue you come down on, the story here is about manipulated news coverage. The "Sinclair owned" station was contacted by the notoriously unTrump CNN for commentary about issues in their neighborhood, but apparently the messaging did not fit the narrative they were pushing. My question has always been "Why decide for the people what news is newsworthy?". That always leads me to the conclusion that since someone else is deciding what I should/should not hear, it's not news, it's an infomercial. The interesting part of what was reported here was the reference to "treatment" of the migrants, apparently not a story with enough pop when the narrative being pumped is about how ineffective the barriers are. Question for you...do you see this type of coverage as anything all that different than a Hannity or Maddow segment? The only real difference I can find is instead of one talking head there are multiples, and instead of a one hour segment its 24x7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% agree with this post..it is hard to almost impossible to watch any news without seeing slants. I was more just busting on @Deranged Rhino ..hopefully, he recognizes as such! And just a minor clarification, this station is not owned by Sinclair, but by a former GOP politician and staunch supporter of conservative causes. From all that I can see, still closer to the center than Sinclair propaganda Edited January 11, 2019 by plenzmd1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) If Trump was NOT a politician and was a straight shooter... Why the heck was he resorting to campaign rhetoric? Why not say straight up that a Mexico deal (bad for Mexico) will pay for wall? Why was Trump acting like super rhetorical politician striving to snag low hanging voters by spewing low information rhetoric? Is this the Guy that will "drain the swamp", "lock her up" or bait & switch you a lemon from the car lot? Welcome to "Smilin' Don's (Gently) Used Car Lot. Show your deplorable card and get 5% off.

Thank you for, once again, proving that you just refuse unbiased facts. All you do is cover your ears and chant about how wrong I am. It's ok, keep having your tantrum with Lil' Baby Trump. Maybe you have some toys to play with You have not.made one valid point or statement in your own thread yet. Simply posting links to stories you *feel* support you is laughable.

I'd rather see DHS release them by the busload into neighborhoods where Alyssa Milano, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Kamala Harris, etc. live, when released pending asylum/deportation proceedings. They're fine upstanding people, after all. They should be welcomed with opened arms in those secure, gated communities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 The Shutdown by Richard Fernandez Original Article Trump’s New Shutdown World Wall Street Journal, by Kimberley A. Strassel Original Article This weekend the federal shutdown becomes the longest in history—and yet, and yet, the sky has not fallen. Meet the team that has allowed the Trump White House to hold out for so long, and in the process forever altered future shutdown fights. Across the street from the Oval Office, an only somewhat merry band of budget lawyers labor on one priority: making this event as painless as possible. That was the order from President Trump when the government closed, and the Office of Management and Budget was ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
