....the remaining airtime (51 minutes) consisted of mostly positive coverage (73% positive) for the rest of Trump’s economic agenda: job growth, tax reform, deregulation, and plans for more infrastructure spending. Yet this coverage has amounted to less than three percent of TV’s total coverage of the President this year.

The positive economic story is probably one reason why the public has rewarded Trump with higher approval ratings, despite the bad press. Another is that the public’s trust in the media has been eroding for years, which means that journalists are less credible critics than they might have been years ago.

Newsbusters - Right bias

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Factual Reporting: MIXED

Notes: Newbusters claims to expose liberal bias much like its parent website MRC, however this site is also very right wing biased like MRC and perhaps even less factual. Newsbusters uses extensive loaded words and always covers just one side of the story. That side always benefits conservatives and is against liberals.

Of course. It's what you want to hear.

On Friday the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the economy added 148,000 nonfarm jobs in December but only 139,000 when the revisions for October and November are included. A better way to understand how the job market is doing is to include the revisions and look at a multi-month average. This is especially important due to the impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma since September only added 38,000 jobs.

Updated BLS information now has Trump now only being behind Obama's last 4 years vs. 6.

These are the original and updated numbers.

2011: 2.091 million

2012: 2.142 million

2013: 2.302 million

2014: 2.998 millon

2015: 2.713 million

2016: 2.240 million

2017 original: 2.046 million

2017 updated: 2.188 million

Most Liberals like yourself don’t. They want more taxes and more spending. Budget be damned.

I don't consider the tax reform as a positive, particularly when combined with the budget.

Budget be damned? Said the dipshit who voted for the president and the GOPers who just passed the budget blasting tax reform bill.

It’s time for the Democrats to stop bashing President Trump.

It’s not going to be easy, given his policies and personality. It might even mean checking into a 12-step program. But setting a winning agenda is like maneuvering an aircraft carrier. It takes time to change course. And if they want to be on target for the November midterm elections, the Democrats need to start changing course now.

President Trump’s policies remain popular with many Americans, which means Democrats need to find a campaign strategy beyond just bashing him. Trump is more popular than Dems want to admit

Like it or not, a significant number of Americans are actually happy these days. They are making money. They feel safe, and they agree with with the president’s protectionist trade policies, his call for more American jobs, even his immigration stance.

The jobs growth reports, the North Korea summit and the steady economy are beating out the Stormy Daniels scandal and the Robert Mueller investigation in Middle America, hands down.

So you are not going to win back the House by making it all about him.

Rather than stoking the base by attacking Trump, Democrats need to come up with a platform that addresses the average voters’ hopes and concerns. Not just the needs of underdogs or whatever cause happens to be the media flavor of the week.

Democrats need to look like the adults, not like another pack of screaming kids on the playground.

And they need to start yesterday.

Joe in PB wrote:The cancelling of the Korean summit certainly is a missed opportunity. The deal maker couldn't even attend and lay out his offer, because his offer stunk.

An offer to jump start N Korea's economy with American and European businesses would have been tough to turn down. Stating before hand that the US wasn't going to do so was dumb and the outcome predictable. Basically a one sided deal for N Korea with a limp dick promise that the UN would do what it could. A missed opportunity for Trump and American business.

Over the weekend, a number of left-wing activists, including Shaun King and Linda Sarsour began circulating images showing children in detention centers. Those children were being held after crossing the border illegally, many of them completely unaccompanied.

They claimed those pictures were of children who were separated from their families at the border by the Trump administration.

The only problem with that claim is that the pictures they used weren’t taken while President Trump was in office.

They came from a 2014 article by AZCentral, an Arizona based news site.

Even people close to former President Obama mirrored the lie, Jon Favreau, who was Obama’s speechwriter, tweeted out a link to the AZCentral article from 2014, stating.

“This is happening right now, and the only debate that matters is how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible,” Favreau included in his now-deleted Tweet.

While Favreau deleted his tweet, other liberal activists like King and Sarsour have refused to take them down; even after being informed that they were misleading people.

These tweets prove how clueless the left is.

These attacks show just how out of touch the anti-Trump movement is with reality.

For many years, immigration enforcement was a bi-partisan issue.

People from the likes of Barack Obama, to Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi supported building a border fence in order to secure the border.

Now that Trump is in office, they have vocally attacked the idea of securing the border, oftentimes without acknowledging their hypocrisy.....
