It basically says for people that dont want to read the whole article that the media is there to report the news not spin it one way or another and that is were all news has failed.

Bormio Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 The press is being way too sensitive here. They defend the rights of any of their members to write editorials - even off the wall ones. The President can call them “fake news” and he is not undermining democracy and the American Way. He merely is giving his opinion. The press needs to grow a pair. And ganging up on him with editorials only makes his point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get confused and have a hard time keeping track of the conspiracies. I was told recently that the Deep State controls the media and that Donald Trump is an enemy of the Deep State. I guess it's true then? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus69 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 You know...all kidding aside...if the press really wanted to "strike back" at Trumpy The Clown.....they would ignore him. Not go to the press conferences. Not post editorials about him. Not report anything he says or does. There are a lot more worthy people to cover than him. He has to have the attention. If you don't give it to him...he'll metaphorically starve. Rufus>> 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanscript Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 33 minutes ago, GardenStateBaller said: Totally agree. The more they challenge him, the stronger (and larger) his base gets. IMO their actions are the main reasons for his meteoric rise in popularity since the election. To date they have no one to blame but themselves. Not sure that you know what "meteoric" means. trump got 48.9% in 2016. Since he is still underwater that means that could have only gained 1%, at most. Hardly meteoric. But he has an approval rating of about 42% now, so he has actually lost popularity not gained. Meteoric rise?

Dunno. Is he still hysterically and incoherently rage tweeting and generally acting like a guilty man who's bad at covering up crimes? What does it even mean for a newspaper to be "in COLLUSION with other papers on a free press?" -- That the Boston Globe agrees with other newspapers that the first amendment should be preserved? So I'd say yes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are. They intentionally lie and mislead people. They intentionally obsess over republicans and conservatives wrong doing while completely ignoring and suppressing liberals and democrats shit. I just read and article on NBC that was about how to delete old tweets. They said Roseanne Barr used RACIST tweets while that Sarah Jeong lady used "inflammatory remarks about race" That type of language is grossly misleading. the majority of all the mainstream media is an arm of the DNC. It is a non stop propaganda machine aimed at undermining Trump's presidency and the people who support him. read this article and see why conservatives would believe these outlets are the enemy of the people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they're losing viewers and market share by the week. They all bring on guests from across the aisle. Every last one of them, but none of them are absolutely truthful. They all are partisan. Knock yourselves out gentlemen, you are brainwashed just like those that swear by CNN or MSNBC.

When you have Rachel Maddow crying about Trump winning the presidency and the CNN panel looking like kids who just found out their pet died you could tell right then and there the media would be biased and the enemy of the people.
