http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/316578-trump-blasts-media-as-opposition-party Trump effectively capped off the Republican rise since 2009 in this past election by winning the presidency. He also effectively neutered the Democratic Party and now he sets his sight on his next big opponent... The deceitful liberal media. I watch the media everyday and critics of Trump eyes' are gazed, their credibility is on the line, and they not sure how to effectively operate their propaganda machines. This is trialing times to be the deceitful media. I doubt they do much better against Trump than Clinton did.
You know you can't say media without adding Fox News, right? Saying "liberal media" is simply conservatives looking for scapegoats. Wasn't that one of the first steps Hitler took in his reign? To try silencing the media? Let's face the music here. Trump does not want to face the curveball questions the media will ask, he simply wants to answer what he wants to hear. You may not want to come to terms with it, but when reality speaks, it hurts.
I'm aware. I said "deceitful media" and you automatically defended the liberal media. In its summation the media is liberally slanted. There is no denying this. The media was a lapdog for Obama and Hillary and now they're being called out.
No, you said "deceitful liberal media." As if talk radio and Alex Jones and Breibart are credible sources.....
Whoops What is the audiences of Alex Jones and Breitbart? And they let their partisan views be known. Liberal mainstream media disguises itself as nonpartisan and its disgraceful.
Yes, like Joe Scarborough, who was a Republican senator, is not really Republican.... Come on dude, you know who the audiences are, or tend to be on those type of sites. Breibart was freaking out over conspiracy theories about Hillary needing pillows to sit up, or that conspiracy theory about a earpiece in her ear during a town hall event. It's not hard to tell what kind of audiences those places draw.
Thanks for proving my point. CNN, ABC, NBC, Meet the Press, etc all claim to be "centrist" but really they're all liberal pawns. Breitbart and Alex Jones never hid their identity.
This is a bad direction to head in. So when Trump said the rain stopped and the weather cleared in his speech he was telling the truth? The media is just lying? How about the number of people attending his inauguration? Was the pictures doctored by the media? Yes the media can be biased on how they present stories. Just omit mentioning something or take what someone's says out of context. I imagine it is hard to report on something as capable of stirring emotions without some bias seeping in. Do you not think Trump was taken to court for discrimination for turning away black people when looking to rent at one of his properties? Do you not think trump has been sued over 3,500 times for failing to pay small business owners and employees? How about Trump University? Is that all lies and nobody sued him for fraud and that they did not win that case against him? There is more of course. Also take a look around the world and maybe research some history to find what leaders try to discredit the media except if they are not singing their praise all the time.
Meet The Press is not a network, it is a program that is broadcast on NBC Television Network, in addition to MSNBC. You've got it listed as though it appears to be a network. Meet the Press is a centrist program; the fact that they ask tough questions does not mean they are leaning in either direction but rather objective reporting as they have always done since the inception of the program in November, 1947.
I listed, a show, Meet the Press just for this reason. The interviews are so biased, Chuck Todd is one of the worst propagandists in media and you call that centrist. That is exactly the problem I have. I highly doubt its the same show in 1947 than it is now. The media now has become out of control. Did you not catch recent interview where Chuck Todd basically admitted the media was in the tank for Hillary?
Centrist??? Just spit my coffee on my phone. Yeah. And the NYTImes is centrist too👍 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Trump is right. Much of the media (not all, but much) is, by intent and by effect, the opposition party. They aren't really practicing journalism at all, and anything they report on that's political isn't really news; it's propaganda.
If the media isn't biased towards the left then how come they never mention race or religion regarding crimes/terror committed by blacks and Muslims? You can be dang sure if blacks or Muslims are victims they'll not only be quick to point it out, but they'll go out of their way to mention race/religion/party affiliation of those guilty of it. The liberal media fawned over Clock Boy because he was a Muslim but could hardly mention the religion of the Orlando, San Bernardino and Fort Hood shooters, and when their Muslim religion did come out it was played down or they would say something like "one bad Muslim out of 1.6 billion." Meanwhile, all Tea Party people were labeled as violent racists. How many MSM outlets dug into Podesta's emails? Most of the time they merely reported on hacked emails without mentioning the content. Meanwhile, Trump's (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) comments got wall to wall coverage for days and/or weeks. And the press is still making a big deal over Trump's tax returns but have given Clinton a complete pass on her Wall St speeches and Obama with his college transcripts. And the killer is the KKK and how it's used against Trump but not against Clinton.
It's propagandists because you don't agree with what they say; but if they were saying things that you agreed with, it would no doubt be the greatest show on earth. I didn't catch the recent interview where Chuck Todd allegedly admitted the media was in the tank for Hillary, but that doesn't mean Meet The Press is biased in anyway. Chuck Todd doesn't speak for the entire media; he is just giving his personal opinion. - - - Updated - - - Shouldn't drink when you are on the phone.
