Two and a half years into his presidency, Trump has already staked a claim to a role in history usually reserved for hereditary monarchs at the end of a line of inbreeding. Historians will list him somewhere between Vlad the Impaler and France’s Charles VI, who thought his buttocks were made of glass. Much of America loves its Mad King, whose works are regularly on display. Russians under Ivan the Terrible used to watch dogs being hurled over the Kremlin walls when the tsar’s mood was bad. Americans have grown used to late-night insults tweeted at nuclear powers from the White House bedroom. Royal lunacy is traditionally a secret, but in Twitter-age America it’s a shared national experience. We are all somersaulting down and out the sanity chute. The astonishing thing about Trump is that he wasn’t foisted on us by a council of Bourbons, or by succession law. We elected the man, and are poised to do it again. History will judge us harshly for this, and will look with particular venom at Trump’s political opponents in both parties, who over the years were unable to win popularity contests against a man most people would not leave alone with a decent wristwatch, let alone their children. Trump’s original destiny was the destruction of the Republicans as a viable entity in modern American politics. Then he ran a general election like he was trying to lose, and won. Now his legacy is the spectacular end of America’s fragile racial consensus.

You know that someone cannot not like Trump, like myself, and at the same time be aware of an obvious concerted campaign to take him down with bull *****, right? 2 1

B-Man Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Woodward: I tried to warn you journalists about the Steele dossier ED MORRISSEY Consider this one of the more interesting pull quotes from a gargantuan effort at the Columbia Journalism Review to determine what went wrong in Russiagate. Washington Post reporter and author Bob Woodward only plays a small role in this four-part series as a voice in the wilderness of narrative journalism, but significant enough to highlight. The authors of “Trumped Up: The Press versus The President” spoke with Woodward about where everything turned poisonous. That’s an easy point to identify — the Steele Dossier, swallowed whole by mainstream media outlets despite its clear and obvious problems. Woodward reminds CJR that he went on air at the time — on Fox — to call it a “garbage document,” only to be roundly ignored by his fellow reporters, especially at the Post: https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2023/02/01/woodward-i-tried-to-warn-you-journalists-about-the-steele-dossier-n527763 1 1

Not sure why you would think I like one sided journalists. My point was if you gonna listen to him about the left you should read about his stories on your beloved GOP. Easy to claim you are bi partisan. I highly doubt you disliked Trump until the GOP turned on him. 1 hour ago, B-Man said: Link please. We need the timeline.

B-Man Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Newsrooms Are Now Officially Democrats’ Newsletter Operations Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board The media’s leftward bias has been obvious for decades even as “journalists” denied their alignment with the Democratic Party. No honest person took Chris Cillizza’s 2016 claim that “reporters don’t root for a side. Period” to be true. All we’ve ever asked for is an admission from the media that it worked for the Democrats. We’re a little closer to that today. Tuesday’s headline in the Daily Caller brought the light: “Major News Outlets Say They’re Ditching Objectivity In The Name Of ‘Diversity.’” The story beneath the headline tells us that, after interviewing more than 75 ”media leaders to gauge how the industry views the concept of ‘objectivity,’” https://issuesinsights.com/2023/02/02/newsrooms-are-now-officially-democrats-newsletter-operations/ . 1
Tiberius Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Boy, this sounds like something we have heard before MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday criticized what he said were skewed media portrayals of Moscow's military campaign in Ukraine as he met with mothers of Russian soldiers fighting there. "Life is more difficult and diverse than what is shown on TV screens or even on the internet. There are many fakes, cheating, lies there," Putin said. https://www.voanews.com/a/putin-decries-media-lies-at-meeting-with-soldiers-mothers-/6850504.html
B-Man Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 They know that they are losing the argument. The Associated Press Instructs Journalists to Take Pro-Abortion Slant in Their Reporting Just in case you needed any more proof that the press deserves to be called the “activist media,” the Associated Press issued new guidance in November 2022 to journalists related to how they frame issues surrounding abortion. The AP’s style guide was updated to direct journalists to put the term “crisis pregnancy center” in quotation marks and to refer to them as “anti-abortion” centers. The Daily Signal reported: The AP added this entry between Nov. 20 and Nov. 27, 2022, according to The Daily Signal’s search of the Wayback Machine. The guide describes the centers as “set up to divert or discourage women from having abortions” and warns writers against “potentially misleading terms” like “pregnancy resource centers or pregnancy counseling centers.” “If using the term anti-abortion center, explain later that these often are known as ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ (with quotation marks) and that their aim is to dissuade people from getting an abortion,” the style guide entry states. Thomas Glessner, president of the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, told the news outlet that journalists adhering to these guidelines are “disgraceful” and argued that “if they actually cared about integrity, they would know that pregnancy centers seek to help women who are facing unplanned pregnancies with material and emotional support.” The Associated Press’ stylebook is the most commonly used among journalists and news outlets. Its guidance tends to be followed across the board, with some exceptions. Naturally, the pro-abortion lobby was ecstatic by the new guidance. https://redstate.com/jeffc/2023/02/04/the-associated-press-instructs-journalists-to-take-pro-abortion-slant-in-their-reporting-n698722 .
B-Man Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 If it did happen back during the Trump administration they should easily be able to release the documents dated back when it did happen. So, please explain why high level Trump officials were not informed or show docs proving that they were informed back then. I have kitchen colanders that don't leak as fast as the Trump administration. A news items like this would have been headline news at the NYT, WaPo, & MSNBC within 24 hours.
