Why don't you explain to us in your own words, you god damn lunkhead?

[Mikey]

Define "no one."

Because I think you mean "no one who's a pussified #CultofTrump snowflake."

[Joe in PB]

There are plenty stories on the public distrust of the media, a simple search is all that is needed. Or you can just turn on the news and be objective.

Once again complaining about the messenger, not the message? Not surprising. That's why I posted it, it's a good explanation that only takes 5 minutes.

The Media Keep Falling Into the Trump Trap
Reporters foolishly act like liberal political activists.

By Jason L. Riley
Wall Street Journal
Aug. 21, 2018 7:08 p.m. ET

Donald Trump has long demonstrated a knack for getting his political opponents to make fools of themselves. Sen. Marco Rubio learned this the hard way on the 2016 campaign trail when he tried to out-Trump Mr. Trump. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and former CIA chief John Brennan got caught in the trap last week.

Mr. Cuomo took issue with Mr. Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” telling an audience full of Democrats that “we’re not going to make America great again—it was never that great.” The audience booed. Mr. Cuomo was attempting to insult the president but wound up insulting the country and then spent several days walking back what he said. Mr. Cuomo’s late father, Mario, also served as governor of New York. He once remarked: “There are few things more amusing in the world of politics than watching moderate Republicans charging to the right in pursuit of greater glory.” His son is evidence that such behavior is bipartisan.

Mr. Brennan, who called Mr. Trump’s July press conference with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin “nothing short of treasonous” on Twitter, had his security clearance revoked by the president last week. But during an appearance on MSNBC a few days later, he rescinded his comment. “I didn’t mean that he committed treason. But it was a term that I used,” he said. “Sometimes my Irish comes out.” Mr. Trump’s statements after the meeting with Mr. Putin were roundly criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike, and Mr. Brennan was free to add his voice. But a former top intelligence officer who wants to decry the president’s reckless behavior on cable news and social media might want to be more mindful of his own behavior.

Likewise, the political press has decided that its job isn’t merely to inform the public but also to take down the current White House, even if such efforts cost journalism what little credibility it has left. Last Thursday, hundreds of newspapers nationwide simultaneously published editorials attacking Mr. Trump in the guise of promoting a free press. The president regularly accuses news outlets of biased coverage. He prefers tweets and rallies to news conferences because he doesn’t trust the Washington Post and CNN to give him or his agenda a fair shake. Mr. Trump’s base comprises tens of millions of voters convinced that the media is as eager as the Democratic Party to run their guy out of office, and last week’s stunt only feeds those fears. Journalists who don’t like what the president has said about the press might want to start behaving like objective reporters instead of liberal political activists.

Take the economy, which is faring better under Mr. Trump by many measures than it has in a generation or longer. Each week throughout this summer has brought almost nothing but economic sunshine. The pace of factory hiring has more than doubled since last year. A July survey from the National Federation of Independent Business notes that optimism among small-business owners, who employ nearly half the nation’s private-sector workforce, is at levels not seen since 1983. Wages are also increasing, which was reflected in a Commerce Department report last week that showed retail sales—on groceries, restaurants and clothing—far exceeding economic forecasts and surging at double the rate of inflation.

The best feature of this economic growth is its inclusiveness. The simultaneous gains among various demographic groups is something the country hasn’t experienced in a long time, if ever. Older workers, women, minorities, seniors and the less-educated all are faring better in the labor force today than they did under President Obama. The jobless rate for Americans age 16 to 24 hit a 50-year low this summer. In May, the black unemployment rate dipped to 5.9%, the lowest number on record at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. People who had stopped looking for work are sending out resumes. More people are quitting jobs because they are confident that a better one awaits. Employers are increasing perks and benefits in an effort to attract new hires and keep the ones they already have. There were 6.7 million job openings last quarter, a 17-year high.

When the media reports this good news, the stories too often resemble a Democratic National Committee press release. The main objective is to assure you that Mr. Trump’s tax cuts and regulatory reform had nothing to do with it, that his predecessor deserves the real credit or that it was all just inevitable. Hogwash.

For all of his faults, the president deserves some praise for the ramped-up economy, just as he’ll deserve blame if his counterproductive trade wars reverse these gains over time. Covering the Russia meddling investigation and keeping the White House honest is important, but these things are hardly the sum of Mr. Trump’s presidency. Reporters look foolish when they insist otherwise.

“we’re not going to make America great again—it was never that great.”

Can you imagine what'll happen if Cummo ever tries to run for President after saying that?

I wonder what people who lived through Jim Crow would have to say about that? What about people in Japanese internment camps? What about Native Americans?

Oh yeah but we should always be 100% fully freaking patriotic at all times without thinking.

[Screw_Michigan]

Whoever he was to run against would have a fucking field day. Tell me you knew.

So what? He's right. You're still a fFR and a moron to boot.

[Joe in PB]

Agreed we should not, but I do think Americans should be pro Constitution and Bill of Rights. Without those, we're just another tyrannical society.

If they knew their history, they’d say that those things were authorized by Cuomo’s party.

I'd say America is great because we saw that a wrong was committed and we corrected the offense. Other than Great Britain and Wilberforce changing the English citizens minds on slavery, how many countries have a solid track record of fixing what is broken in their nation? Take China for instance. They are actively working to systematically erase non-Han Chinese. It'd be nice to hear from those who are so earnestly convinced that the US is awful that there are actually other countries where things never get better and continue to get worse.

Except for that pesky First Amendment.... right?

News should be the reporting of facts, not half the story, no story, or made up bullshit to further an agenda whether political or otherwise. Editorials & talk shows are for free speech and opinions.

Do you try hard to be this stupid in real life or does it come naturally?

[Joe in PB]

Screwy has no common sense, and is only too willing to swallow whatever the Democrats are spurting. All the while believing the Clintons are different than the Trumps....

Looking at the political landscape it appears some people in both parties are selling out the country, the Democrats are just more radical as they try to take back the presidency. Something they & the globalists believe will be easier if Trump the nationalist is gone.

If this were the 1960s, Trump would be shot in the head. They're more sophisticated these days, instead using the media and a corrupted FBI to try to flim flam voters to remove our president.

1. FAUX NEWS pumps out massive amounts of propaganda on a daily basis. Fake news.

2. Is Donald a nationalist? You sure? He seems pretty friendly toward one of our biggest geopolitical foes.It is a little odd and a little off.

3. Donald is going to end up GONE because of his own actions. His removal from the scene will be completely rational and rightful.

[Softball Bat]

Wack takes from you.

Every

Link me up to where I ever said that Trump would agree with Putin across the board on all issues.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

Why is Russia one of your biggest geopolitical foes?

If you want to get to the bottom of who's gaslighting the Russians by way of a whispering campaign...

...listen to who's doing the whispering.

OK, smart guy, how bout you tell us who was responsible for jim crow and jap internment ?

You MIGHT argue that the internment camp was a bi-partisan effort, but in the end it happened because FDR wanted it.

Jim Crow was 100% democratic.

Ex-CBS Star Lara Logan Calls Media ‘Mostly Liberal

[Kierland]

Lara is wrong on this one. The 'media' is a bunch of corp war mongering hacks. They play liberal on some issues to hide this from the sheeple, but they are by no means liberal.

So they are liars. Got it. Add liar to the description of Screwy.

C’mon, meat gazer, we all know better. Must I point out your two previous threads concerning the crotches of young men watching AOC strut by and the rank ‘em thread where a dude was in the line up?

Project much?

[Screw_Michigan]

None of the TV networks will hire her after butchering her Benghazi story so she's auditioning for Faux News. Lucky for her Faux is not a real news outlet, has lots of cash, and she's hot, so they'll probably hire her next week.

[Joe in PB]

Another deflection that really has nothing to do with the story (most of the main stream media is liberal biased), perhaps if you read the subject material before commenting you wouldn't look like a jackass on a daily basis.

[Kierland]

The "main stream media" is not liberal you hopelessly stupid Tard.

[Left Seater]

Here is another example, TV news passing off ads as soft news.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washin ... story.html

But we shouldn’t care about this per Screwy.

[Kierland]

WE shouldn’t worry about these kinds of programs being made and aired, we should worry about why they have an audience.
