Face the Truth
To Press / Media / Journalists
For God sakes, please stop with the sanctimonious self aggrandizing whining about President Trump's "dangerous" rhetoric about the press. We've even got a Republican Senator throwing out words like "dictator" and "un-American". How ridiculous! I believe President Trump needs to stop with the continuous "Fake News" rants. He needs to move on and take the opportunity at press conferences to discuss progress, policies etc. And anyway, I've always felt "Fake News" was incorrect because the media/press usually have the facts correct~ it's the hateful spin to the facts that can be manipulated however it fits their agenda. Therefore MY buzz phrase is HATE-News. If any of you can sit in your studio or behind a newspaper desk and say that the VAST majority of you are NOT biased to the Left, the Liberals or the democrats then you are deep in denial.
The coverage of the Trump campaign began as treating it as a lark/joke. Then the coverage graduated to including him in the ballpark but still with zero chance. Once he won some primaries, the media attacks and left liberal spin ramped up. I kept hearing the words like racist and antisemite but with nothing to back that up. I tried to find some corroborating facts to back up those accusations because I wanted to make sure I wasn't throwing my support behind a bigot. I could not find anything! But the more the press reports and spins, accusations become FACT in the public psyche. And THAT was your first step victory in undermining Candidate Trump. Still he had no chance right? The polls said Hillary would win in a landslide. Candidate Trump had some bumps and his mouth got him in hot water a number of times that the press justifiably pounced on. But his support held up and increased. Then came election night, which for Dems ,Libs and the Left turned into something close to the apocalypse. It was hysterical to surf around news channels on election night. Many "journalists" were close to tears, some REAL TEARS, ALL looked to be in a true state of shock. But it wasn't the shock of unbiased journalists witnessing a truly momentous upset in American political history. No, it was the kind of shock when the candidate you've been campaigning for over two years unexpectedly suffers a humiliating defeat. From that moment on, DONALD TRUMP WAS GOING TO HAVE PAY for the audacity of breaking the hearts of every Democrat, Liberal, Lunatic Left, 85% of the media and illegal immigrants (NOT undocumented citizens). But the OTHER HALF of the country finally had a VOICE!! It was an AMAZING night for us! We finally said ENOUGH! Enough is enough. Enough of being called racists because we didn't think like you ( the collective LEFT ). Enough of having to watch as our President welcomed Black radical militants to the White House. Militants who chanted and shouted and rioted ~ Calling for the death of police officers. Enough of having social norms pushed to the limits and over the edges~nothing was TOO far. If we didn't buy into LGBQRSTK123Q wholeheartedly, we were homophobic haters. If we finally said, ENOUGH of illegal aliens crossing our borders and then being treated better than our VETERANS, we were racists or xenophobes. Enough of the utter inexplicable stupidity of allowing people to vote without having to present an ID. Huh? Requiring an ID was a "hardship" for the poor. Huh? More like it's a hardship to find votes, legal or not, and not requiring an ID sure makes that easier, right? Anyway, I'm rambling. Rambling because there are so many things that have been building up for years. Years of being silenced by political correctness( that usually was ridiculous). The media/press traded their sacred "freedom of the press" battle cry for Freedom to be the Completely Biased Opposition. Every little snarky tone, leftist spin and utter contempt for Donald Trump on EVERY story you ran just emboldened YOUR base but also emboldened OUR base. With you as the opposition, Donald Trump has
no chance of ever proving YOUR public wrong or maybe changing their mind. Yes, I'm rambling so let me wrap this up. You, the media/press/journalists deserve every bit of the criticism you're getting now. Start living up to your end of the bargain by being unbiased, or at least holding your nose and crossing your pinky fingers while APPEARING unbiased and maybe things will naturally normalize between the media/press, White House and the public. In short, you have only yourselves to blame for the current poisonous atmosphere. Again, I always thought that instead of the "Fake News" moniker, the more appropriate buzz phrase is HATE NEWS.
I'm too tired to proof read this or go back and add or delete or tweak. I'm sure ya'll can figure out.
