Jeopardy contestant and media guru Wolf Blitzer recently interviewed Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump’s senior adviser. Blitzer asked Conway if she is comfortable with Trump calling the news media “lowlifes” and “all sorts of other ugly words.” She responded that she avoids personal insults herself and then went on to catalogue a bevy of media misdeeds. She described the media as advocates rather than journalists and elaborated that “many journalists have admitted that Donald Trump compels them to suspend objective standards of journalism.”
Media bias is pervasive. The Media Matters headline reveals its biased point of view: “CNN's Wolf Blitzer Presses Trump Campaign Manager To Stop Attacks Against Journalists And Free Press.” Donald Trump is not attacking the free press. He is attacking journalists who are admittedly biased. His audience agrees with him and respond accordingly.

Criticizing someone’s speech is not an attack on free speech...it IS free speech.
I’m sick and tired of H->!
He doesn’t mind what Trump says that’s all biased play acting.
The minions of the Ministry of Propaganda absolutely hate it when they are identified as the propagandists that they are.
They are too biased to realize the real damage being done to the press is things like debate questions being given to Hillary in advance. That’s what destroys any faith in them.
Bring back Baghdad Bob for honest reporting.
I remember in the 1980’s when first listening to Rush and getting his newsletter, his discussions on how over 80% of ‘journalists’ at a journalism conference admitted to viewing journalism as a tool for issue advocacy, as well as being Democrats. So, 30 years ago they were in the progressive bag, as a group.
Rush tried, God bless him, but we just chatted within the choir all these years, being nice guys and p.c. and non-offensive. And our schools, press, media, www and government got taken over by anti-Constitution, anti-Christian anti-Americans.
I think it’s worse than that. Someone surveyed journalism students.
Why do you want to be a journalist? To change the world was the number one answer. It was something like 80%. Advocacy, travel and careerism were in there.
None of them wanted to be journalists so they could report the news.
Worse than that, they work hard to indoctrinate our children, from the earliest possible age.
The Fourth Estate is The Fifth Column.
What goes around comes around Wolfie.
The functional definition of propaganda:
1. Omit your opponents views
2. Mis represent your opponents views
LOL.
I remembered watching a few minutes of the Jeopardy round.
Was amazed at how stupid the contestants are.
Maybe Trump should put in a “safe space” for them!
Thanks’ stealing it for my new tag line.
Here in Seattle, the ABC nightly news is on at 5:30 on channel 4.
The NBC nightly news is on at 6:00 on channel 5.
The CBS nightly news is on at 6:30 on channel 7.
So many times in the past I have watched all three of the major news outlets.
And each and every time, they are SAYING EXACTLY THE SAME STUFF! Hillary is great, Trump is dog food, etc, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah...
You can tell there is no dissent in their newsrooms... they are pre-programmed robots!
We get news out of Spokane...same thing.
