Black Man Realizes the Media's Lying to Him

[CarlinAnnArbor]

But expect the media's campaign to destroy another Republican to continue for 4 years....

“I am blown away!” said one worker, an African American man who asked for anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak to the press. “The man I just saw there talking to people is nothing like what I’ve seen, day in and day out, in the news.”

Taking Trump Seriously, Not Literally

You make malicious attacks directed at black folk, but parade them around when they support your agenda.

How many faction points do you think this thread won you?

"But expect the media's campaign to destroy another Republican to continue for 4 years...."

The MSM is not Trump's buddy, for sure.

And of course the far and alt right used every media trick in the book to go after Obama, who, looking at them, picked his nose, then turned them around and kicked their ass. Yeah, he did.

So called MSM is an easy target for the right, and yet so much 'hate' media exists on the right you have to wonder? Would Trump and his supporters have been as gracious as Hillary and Barack? Of course not it would have the same old the system is rigged and controlled from some imaginary place. Not much changes in the minds of right wing followers.

"The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen. Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response. What are people supposed to think if someone says ‘I have got an answer, we have an enemy’? There it was the Jews. Here it will be the illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority. We will be told we have to defend ourselves and the honor of the nation. Military force will be exalted. People will be beaten up. This could become an overwhelming force. And if it happens it will be more dangerous than Germany. The United States is the world power. Germany was powerful but had more powerful antagonists. I don’t think all this is very far away. If the polls are accurate it is not the Republicans but the right-wing Republicans, the crazed Republicans, who will sweep the next election."
