I think there is an outright war by the MSM against President Trump.

This could derail Trump's presidency, especially if things turn even a little bit bad. Every little thing is twisted and made to look sinister.

We here at Free Republic pay attention to what is happening, but much of the general public still just hears the noise and thinks something is wrong with the President -- that he is crazy, incompetent and evil, even though his presidency has gotten off to a brilliant start that could hardly be better.

Trump and his administration has to do something about.

We have to do something.

We have to fight the MSM.

The best way to counter the MSM is to post facts on their websites. Posting here on FR is ok, but this is largely preaching to the choir. The Right needs internet-warriors to counter those on the Left....simple as that....just counter their facts with facts and disrupt their narrative.

Relax.

When the guy shooting at you has his gun go “click,” it doesn’t matter how furiously he pulls the trigger after that.

It was bad during GWB’s 8 years. Get used to it. It’s going to be a long 8 years.

The difference is the MSM is so low on the respect scale, with less impact than I can remember.

The Donald has a freer hand as a result.

It’s been this way on Google News about every day since the primaries well over a year. Nary a positive article about Trump. They pump them out without much effect. The Dumb media has been neutered.

Yes, the media bias is bad and sad. The Ventura County Star had one positive and six negative articles on Saturday, Jan 21. There was a nice photo of Trump at the podium. Then there were six slanderous articles: protestors unhappy, confront Democrats, possible lawsuits, etc. Just evil.

Thankfully, few people subscribe or read the VC Star. Sadly, the numerous elderly and military in town get insulted daily by the local newspaper. My friends say that they know the paper is one sided and that they skip to the local news, obituaries, tv schedule and comics.

“We here at Free Republic pay attention to what is happening, but much of the general public still just hears the noise and thinks something is wrong with the President — that he is crazy, incompetent and evil, even though his presidency has gotten off to a brilliant start that could hardly be better.”

There is an unrelenting barrage of propaganda, like nothing I’ve ever seen for sure...

I think it’s clear that Trump is well aware of the issue. Twitter is one of his means of dealing with this.

He needs to chill, and govern stably for a few weeks. Things should settle down. HIs approval ratings are actually climbing, and he’s certainly doing a lot of the right things.

We all need to do what we can to help fight the smears, and the Left in general. They are both despicable.

One thing you might consider — Google’s displayed search results are affected by your personal browsing history. If you’ve been clicking on negative Trump stories, for whatever reason, the results you see will reflect those previous clicks you’ve made. To eliminate that effect, you can use a private (or incognito) browser tab when searching. The difference can be significant.

As the Left continues its descnt in to full blown anarchy, visciousness and violence you will see a civil war develop that will tear this nation to shreds. I would say no later than 2025 or so.

The nice thing about newspeak in 2017 is we can TURN IT OFF! Thank God for Donald Trump. As rough as 2017 may end up being, it would have been worse under the Clintons. A lot worse.
