The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency

Media at work: Reporter asks President Trump how many COVID-19 deaths are acceptable to him

 

 

 

All day — all week, actually — we’ve been hearing from journalists complaining that the cable and broadcast networks are carrying President Trump’s coronavirus briefings live. What they’re really afraid of is that the country approves of the job that he’s doing, though they pretend their fear is that he’s putting false information out there, and maybe even trying to inject a little optimism during a time of crisis.

 

So what does the media do when they have the president in front of them every single day? They ask him questions like how many deaths are acceptable to get the economy running again:

 

 

And for what it’s worth, it’s answers like that one that are why the president’s approval rating is up, and it’s questions like that that make the public distrust the mainstream media. And it’s no surprise that reporters who are assured of their jobs even after asking stupid questions like that one don’t seem to understand that other Americans can’t self-isolate in their homes forever without work.

 

 

.

What a dumb @$$ question. No deaths isn’t even a possibility if nobody went anywhere and the Dems started bread and gas lines. Lib tards masquerading as journalists.

Solution: Stop airing his updates.

 

Unreal.

CONGRESS IS MOVING AT THE SPEED OF PELOSI: 

 

Pelosi: We’ll take up the bill on Friday after recalling the House.

 

Just think of the media as Democratic Party operatives with bylines to understand how they would be covering Congress’s Pangaea-esque pace

if it were led by a Republican:

 

 

You all do realize they could pass it by unanimous consent without recalling the house?

Asshats. All of 'em.

It's a testimony to the people who follow them. Begging for more deaths. Begging for higher unemployment numbers. Sitting on a disaster bill for 48 hours when it can easily be passed today.

 

I suspect the left will get quarantined by American voters when this is over.

Oh come on now, don't you see that Trump is only doing a good job as president in order to win reelection? Dark motives, man. Dark motives.

I can see tomorrow's NY Times/WaPo headline: "Racist Xenophobe White Supremacist Trump Only Helping Americans To Boost Non-Existent Re-Election Aspirations".

Like most of the leftists posters I read,

 

He seems to have a problem with the definition of "literally"

OUR BRAVE JOURNALISTS: In an uncertain time, the media falls back on the thing it knows best: dividing people.

 

Two years ago, CNN infamously tracked down a person responsible for creating a wrestling GIF lampooning their corporate logo, which just happened to be retweeted by President Trump. Reporter Andrew Kaczynski and CNN threatened  to reveal the monster’s identity unless he apologized.

 

CNN reporter Drew Griffen tracked down a senior citizen in Florida and parked a camera crew on her front lawn, accosting her over her Facebook group which he claimed was a Russian front group that bought ads on Facebook that swayed the 2016 election.

 

This browbeating of everyday people on social media by activist journalists has become all too familiar. The problem with publishing stories like Marc Fisher’s in the Washington Post is that there are more people with a voice to pushback on this kind of random targeting.

 

Within minutes of Fisher declaring on Twitter that he had contacted McMillen’s parents, he faced a tidal wave of backlash from people with plenty more than 495 followers.

 

A very well-deserved Twitter ratio; read the whole thing.

Dr. Deborah Birx can these days be seen regularly at President Trump and VP Mike Pence’s daily coronavirus briefings. However, Dr. Birx’s comments don’t always match up with the panicked rhetoric the lefty media is pushing, which had led to this comment from former Clinton spokesman and current CNN contributor Joe Lockhart:

 

 

 

Really?  First things first:

NO, THE ‘DEPLORABLES’ RELIGION IS NOT AT WAR WITH SCIENCE:

 

It’s a common accusation from liberals, secular and otherwise, against conservative evangelicals, especially those in the South, that they “are opposed to science.”

 

It’s not true now and in fact, as historian Michael Keas demonstrates, it wasn’t true at the outset of the Scientific Revolution.
