Given how the press has leaped on stories like the Covington kids in D.C. and the Jussie Smollett case and completely misinterpreted the facts or blindly accepted the liberal's testimony without looking further into the matter or at least waiting for more facts to come to light, I'm inclined to agree that the press is, if not the enemy of the people, the enemy of objective and sound journalism.
Okay, let's look at that. In the Smollet case, everyone was kind of skeptical from the beginning. There were things that really didn't make sense.... and we had an investigation and found it to be untrue.
No one, and I repeat, no one on the left was skeptical. The media largely reported it as a "possible hate crime" but the wailing and screaming from celebrities and Democrat politicians like Booker, Harris and Pelosi suggests that they definitely believed it to be a hate crime, no "possible" about it. What's more, even after it's been determined that it was a hoax, actress Ellen Page is still preaching about hate crimes against LGBQT people even though by now, the hoaxes probably outnumber the actual attacks.
Covington, we had a case where the smug little Catholic Bastards got themselves a PR firm, got little shithead on TV in front of a sympathetic reporter and taught him how to emote and play the victim, so we totally forget the little bastard was rude to an elderly veteran.
How is standing there smiling and saying nothing being rude? Have you not yet grasped the fact that it was Phillips who approached him? Why are you persisting in demonizing and reviling this kid even though it's been ascertained that he was, in fact,
not being disrespectful or provocative in any way?
No, the press is not the enemy of the people because it points out the ugliness of Trump and his brownshirts.
How about the ugliness of Antifa and their black shirts and masks? Do they have anything to say about that?
Ironically, the story about Trump making fun of the disabled or calling "people of certain ethnicity 'rapists' and 'animals'" is precisely why he calls the press enemy of the people. Neither of these stories is true.
Um, yeah, we got them on tape, dummy.
What you have on tape is him talking about the criminals that cross the border illegally. Since you're the one making the accusation, the onus is upon you to present evidence that Trump was referring to Mexicans or Hispanics in general. Thirty second sound bite videos do not count. Cite or link a video that is long enough to provide context. And who's "them" anyway?
The real problem with the press is that it treated Trump with respect he didn't deserve early on. He was good for ratings. Why listen to Jeb Bush talk about boring old "Common Core" when you can get Trump calling Mexicans rapists... that's much more entertaining.
From what you're saying here, it sounds like the media was not necessarily treating him with respect, they treated him as a ratings booster.
His supposedly making fun of the handicapped journalist has been debunked. It was shown that Trump often did this as a way to mock a person's attitude and demeanor and had done it before with other non-disabled people. Besides, I would bet that Trump did not even know the guy had a disability anyway. He is a newspaper journalist, not a visual media journalist or reporter.
Oh, really, this is what you are going with? come on, he was clearly mocking a person with cerebral palsy. Jesus ******* Christ, you Trump supporters are like ******* cultists.
It wasn't cerebral palsy, it was arthrogryposis, a condition that causes restricted movement in the joints. Furthermore, shaking and trembling is not a symptom of this disease.
As for his supposedly calling people of "certain ethnicity" rapists and animals, this is not true either. He was referring to MS-13 gang members and other ne'er-do-wells that come here illegally from Mexico and commit crimes.
MS13 doesn't come from Mexico, they come from El Salvador... And his racism is pretty clear to most normal people.
MS-13 got started right here in the U.S. in L.A. by native Salvadorans and consists of people from all over Central America. And where do they cross the border illegally? That's right, from Mexico.
The fact that Trump only ever talked about illegal immigrants and illegal immigration is an important distinction that just about everyone on the left has willfully and knowingly overlooked.
No. He's not going after legal immigrants, he's still trying to weed out
illegal immigrants. At the very least we might be able to say they are being overzealous. But going after legal immigrants? No.
You know, Trump and ICE and the Border Patrol are not just spouting empty rhetoric; there are millions of illegal immigrants here and many of them are defrauding the immigration and welfare system to the tune of billions of dollars a year. This is a fact that cannot be ignored just because you don't like Trump's style.
