The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency


Nanker

Recommended Posts

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 
 

 

 
 
.Well, that’s one way to put it. *Eye roll*

WaPo rooting for an Islamist dictator who actually jails journalists over the president of the United States should be surprising, but it’s just appalling

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

Shot…

Remember this story from yesterday on the successful thwarting of an attack on the DNC’s computers?

A Democratic official confirms to me that the DNC alerted law enforcement after detecting a phishing attempt to gain access to the voter file. The attack was first noticed Tuesday and was successfully thwarted.

First reported by CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/22/politics/democratic-national-committee-voter-database/index.html?utm_content=2018-08-22T16%3A16%3A04&utm_source=twCNNp&utm_medium=social&utm_term=image

Chaser…

NEVER MIND! It was an “unauthorized test” on the DNC by a subcontractor:

NEW: The DNC walks back that it detected a "sophisticated" hacking attempt, announcing that it was simply a subcontractor's unauthorized security test. https://www.axios.com/dnc-hacking-phishing-security-test-lookout-5db16d25-4e9b-4194-b0d7-3dd6e3573e5a.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100

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.

Sure, take credit for that post. It took everything I had to ghostwrite that for you, bot. I feel like Oda Mae Brown after bringing Sam back during that séance.

Maybe they should start digging in to whether or not his father was involved in anything racially insensitive 50 years ago.  Maybe he was regular watcher of "All In The Family?"
