Media hysteria designed to sow fear and division

Move on, snowflakes. The rest of America already has.

When irresponsible reporting is combined with irrational reactions, it instills fear and confusion in people’s minds. That’s what the liberal media are doing to some people, because both are still stuck in a state of bitterness.

Irresponsible reporting nowadays is well recognized as media bias. Some reporters and news outlets will slant the news, omit parts of a story or flat-out lie to make the story fit the political narrative they want to present.

Forget the hysterical mainstream media — America likes Trump’s agenda, including his immigration pivot.

In its hysteria-driven coverage of President Trump’s immigration order, the mainstream media forgot to mention this: most of the country supports it.

A recent Quinnipiac poll indicated that 48 percent of the nation approves of “suspending immigration from terror prone regions, even if it means turning away refugees,” while 42 percent oppose such a measure.

In contrast, Americans did not agree with Obama’s decision to open the door to more Syrian refugees; at the end of 2015, a Quinnipiac poll revealed that 51 percent of the country stood against the move, while only 43 percent supported it.

There is the problem for Democrats — even as they rant and rave over Donald Trump’s assault on the progressive values of the elite establishment, consumer confidence has soared to 12-year highs.

Why do you keep doing this? If you want hits on your little blog, at least have the decency to post this as an excerpt.

Flaunting FR rules is how you blog pimps operate. I don’t know how or why you get away with it.

President Obama puts six month ban on Iraqi refugees in 2011 and media…. crickets.

President Trump puts 120 day suspension on Syrian refugees 2017… media explodes.

Obama selects 7 countries for enhanced visa security policy and media… crickets.

Trump uses Obama law, same Obama DHS policy, and same 7 countries; for a 90-day visa suspension and media explodes.

The media has lied so much in the past that if they ever tell the truth, people (normal Americans) still wont believe them...

The media has, figuratively, deleted themselves from most Americans...

It is easy to fall into the ‘fear’ trap. the media has been using it successfully for the past 40-50 years. We cannot let them control the narrative. Those of us on FR, especially those in the know must not fall victim to this continued propaganda assault on all of us. It has only been a week but we are starting to see ‘supporters’ begin to fall away.

Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do without fear of retaliation, and exactly why we voted for him.

They left are liars over this fake rage for doing what often time what many of them suggested years ago.

“Media hysteria designed to sow fear and division”
Repeat and memorize that headline. That’s what they do!

I say let the hysteria continue. I get the feeling the president likes, or at least is not bothered, by it. The more it goes on, the more the average mushy American will see what’s up. Trump hasn’t unloaded with declarations of success in the last few days. When he does, America will be listening. Case in point, destroying the false dichotomy that we either accept refugees with open arms or reject them entirely: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-saudi-idUSKBN15D14L
