The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency

[Tiberius]

So what is more biased against Trump, the media that treats him like a criminal or the justice department which treats him like a criminal? 

 

So biased and unfair! Clinton emails, blah blah.

NBC Universal - the worst offender of them all

 

 

 

Funny that there was none of this outcry when an American journalist was murdered on the streets of Los Angeles in 2013 by the director of the CIA. What was different then and now? 

 

It's a mystery.

JUST NBC THE FAKE NEWS: America Is Not the Fifth Most Dangerous Country for Journalists, You Idiots.

Second (and I don’t want to come across as glib here, because even one death is a tragedy), the grand total of journalists killed in the U.S. this year was six. The global total was sixty-three. The death of a journalist is a very, very rare event, rare enough that even a small number of unlikely incidents is enough to catapult a nation into the ranks of the “most dangerous.”

 

Of course, that’s exactly what happened. On June 28th, a deranged man with a vendetta against local Maryland newspaper Capital Gazette walked in and killed four employees in the single worst attack on journalists in modern U.S. history. The other two deaths were journalists covering Tropical Storm Alberto in North Carolina, killed when a tree fell on the highway. Both tragedies, but clearly outliers rather than barometers for the level of danger faced daily by American journalists.

 

Here we hit upon the third point; the number of journalists “killed” was compiled regardless of the manner of their death or the perpetrators. When it comes to calculating threats to journalism, no one would say that a freak accident like a tree falling should be treated like an ISIS execution, or that a local crazy is like a Saudi prince. But that’s the result if you use the raw number of deaths as a stand-in for “danger.”

 

 

Exit quote from Twitchy’s take on the above (non) story:

 

“Obama spied on and tried to jail journalists: meh. Trump says mean things on Twitter about biased American media: ‘add the US to the list!’”

 

 

?

Let’s go to their own rules:

Compiled by RSF every year since 1995, the annual round-up of abusive treatment and deadly violence against journalists is based on precise data. We gather detailed information that allows us to affirm with certainty or a great deal of confidence that the death, detention, abduction, or disappearance of each journalist was a direct result of their journalistic work.

By their own rubric, the shootings at the Capital Gazette should not be included. The shooter, one Jorge Ramos, shot up the Gazette because he was angry that a 2012 lawsuit he’d filed against the paper had been dismissed. He’d threatened the paper repeatedly over that case and had been served with a restraining order. The people involved in the story he’d sued the paper over had moved on. No one killed was involved in the Ramos story and none of them were killed because of their reporting. A nutter walked in and shot the place up because he was holding a 6-year-old grudge over a lawsuit.

 

Likewise, the tree in North Carolina didn’t kill two reporters because of their reporting.

 

 

But TDS is a tough thing for our biased media to deal with.......................

No, but as they were reporting on the storm, it was a "direct result of their journalistic work."  

 

They really ought to change their measure to "imprisoned or executed," not just "killed."  It'll eliminate the regions which are dangerous because they're dangerous to anyone (e.g. Syria,) and eliminate tying it to a specific definition of identity in favor of a definition of activity.

 

Which is why they won't do it, because it's detrimental to their identity definition, which is the whole point of their work.

1. If you want a perfect example of how screwed up the news business is, take a look at these two stories today on Russia sanctions, one from the New York Post and the other from the New York Times.

 

 

 

2. It's all about emphasis. The NY Post wrote up a small 200-word blurb on the news, focusing on the new sanctions on hacking, and relegating the lifting of sanctions on Deripaska to a final, 25-word paragraph.

 

3. The NY Times went to the other extreme, writing 1,200 words almost exclusively about the lifting of sanctions on Deripaska w/ominous quotes from Dems implying this all fits into the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

 

4. It's the same story: the WH levied some new sanctions on Russia & lifted others. But because of the emphasis, the framing, and headlines, readers of the Post and the Times will come away believing two completely different things about the news - and you can't blame them.

MSNBC Rolls Out Sexist, Anti-Christian Smears Against Female Trump Employees

Because these women happen to work for the Trump administration, MSNBC hosts think it’s fair game to mock them in ways they’d scream about if applied to liberal women.

 

MSNBC is on a roll this week with ignorant, sexist attacks against high-ranking women in the Trump administration. First, Rachel Maddow featured an entire segment slamming new Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec for graduating from Liberty University Law School. Why? Because the school is too Christian for the progressive cable news host.

 

Then, on “Meet the Press,” Chuck Todd bullied Bettina Inclan, a Hispanic working mom of two who just landed the prominent role of spokeswoman for NASA. Her mother—yes, her mother—apparently said some problematic things.

 

Inclan and Kupec are young women who rose to the top of their fields, heading communications shops for massive government agencies. If these women were liberal, it’s more than likely that social justice warriors and self-proclaimed feminists would be praising their accomplishments. But because these women happen to work for the Trump administration, MSNBC hosts think it’s fair game to mock them.

#JOURNALISM: 

 

Now that he’s pulling the military out of Syria, is there some way we can frame Trump as the “war” president? Yes! Here’s how it looks at the NYT.

They want him assassinated. 

 

That will lead to the end of the republic.
