The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency

As goofy as he looks, the more videos by this guy that I see, the more I like him.

 

 

When people complain about Trump endorsing or criticizing companies, they don't seem to consider that news media corporations are also just companies, so isn't giving them favored access at press conferences the same thing?

 

Why does the New York Times or CNN or Fox deserve preferential treatment?

 

They don't.

Kellyann's couch slouch was deemed disrespectful and a stain on the sanctity of the White House, but Dem's protesting/boycotting POTUS' address to Congress will be seen as a brave display of the right to express one's opposition to tyranny. All hail MSNBC and CNN, eh.

 

Sail On, Oh Ship of State.

Used to be, decades ago, that the State of the Union wasn't a joint address to Congress, but just a letter sent to them from the President. I actually hope that, next year, Trump just up and says "Fine, if you're going to boycott it, there's no sense in going through the whole circus. I'll just send you a report." Just to watch the left melt down over "He's not addressing Congress! It's unconstitutional! The president's required to address the joint session of Congress we're boycotting!"

 

Of course, it could also be that Waters, et al., are boycotting in hopes that someone blows up the Capitol, and they're the only ones left in government.

Why bother with a lengthy report. Just replace it with a State of the Union Tweet

That's very true and your take on how they would take it is spot on. Thank God he didn't accuse the Dems of being niggardly. :o

The wages of fake news

 

This article by Victor Davis Hanson at the Hoover Institution’s “Defining Ideas” Journal offers an excellent compendium of the bogus reporting through which the mainstream media has attempted to take President Trump down. Hanson writes:

 

In just his first month in office
, reporters have already peddled dozens of fake news stories designed to discredit the President—to such a degree that little they now write or say can be taken at face value.

No, Trump did not have any plans to invade Mexico, as Buzzfeed and the Associated Press alleged.

No, Trump’s father did not run for Mayor of New York by peddling racist television ads, as reported by Sidney Blumenthal.

No, there were not mass resignations at the State Department in protest of its new leaders, as was reported by the Washington Post.

No, Trump’s attorney did not cut a deal with the Russians in Prague. Nor did Trump indulge in sexual escapades in Moscow. Buzzfeed again peddled those fake news stories.

No, a supposedly racist Trump did not remove the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the White House, as a Time Magazine reporter claimed.

No, election results in three states were not altered by hackers or computer criminals to give Trump the election, as implied by New York Magazine.

No, Michael Flynn did not tweet that he was a scapegoat. That was a media fantasy endorsed by Nancy Pelosi.

 

 

 

Want more? Hanson refers us to Daniel Payne at The Federalist.

In this context, the new president stands to gain much at little cost, at least for now, by treating the media as the nemesis it is

I'll repeat it for the hoi polloi: when you're fighting Hitler, nothing is unethical.
