MEDIA BLACKOUT: First Lady Melania Trump’s Visit to Home for Abused Girls Goes Unreported
thegatewaypundit ^ | Kristinn Taylor

How does the national media try to control how Americans perceive the Trump presidency? One way is to not report on actions that make the Trumps look good. Take for example the Good Friday visit by First Lady Melania Trump to HomeSafe, a home for abused girls in Lake Worth, Florida,located a few miles south of the the Winter White House at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach where President Trump is spending the Easter weekend with his family.

The First Lady’s visit to HomeSafe was unannounced, however a press release was issued by HomeSafe and several photos were posted online including at the @FLOTUS Twitter account.

Yet, with the exception of the local Palm Beach Post and FootwearNews which focused on the shoes she wore to HomeSafe, no media reported on the First Lady’s visit.

We’re living in Orwellian times, where beautiful is considered ugly, and ugly is considered beautiful.
Case in point, Melania Trump and Michelle ‘Michael’ Obama.

I wish Ivanka & Jared would keep busy with the opiate addiction issue
This would combine Americanism & Humanitarianism

If they really want that stuff covered, they’ve got to invite the press.

Sorry.

It may be that the media were told to stay away.

Whisked to the site...whisked away...no problems...and the event was unannounced.

The liberals don’t want to do anything, to show any favorable impression of Melania Trump.

Since they can’t stand her, and can’t stand Trump, they can’t bring themselves to report on her visit and endorsement of the work of this shelter for women.

If the MSM would report on this at all, they would talk about nonsense, such as to contrast this visit to the shelter, with the Trump administration allegedly cutting back on social program spending........

The fifth-column leftist media (including David, Lester, and Scott) repeatedly show why they are the diseased excrement of the planet.

It is so nice to finally have a first lady who is a LADY.

We have waited 28 years, it was worth the wait.

Oh but had it been meshell.. They’d just be bubbling and all smiley face. Transparency that they can’t see, their own.

"Not so...read it yesterday...pics and all."

I Googled "Melania Homesafe" and checked the first five pages of results. Apart from the local coverage mentioned in the story, and stories appearing in various conservative blogs and obscure trade publications, I saw only one source I would consider mainstream, and it was the British "Express." So I think the claim of the story is essentially true: no mention on any major TV network or major American newspaper or mainstream political blog.

I suspect there are privacy concerns with bringing press into a home for abused girls, especially if there are underage girls there.

Of course! That doesn’t hold a candle to the Mooch’s School Lunch Specials!

Consider a palatable menu of fresh sautéed vegan turd, coupled with a mixed leafery of tossed LGBTQ salad, topped with a healthy mug of Kenyan goat’s milk versus some photo-op of a First Lady that isn’t interested in showcasing her foibles but really cares about our citizens.

Then maybe there’s a limit to the coverage to come of it.

Imagine the fawning press and wall to wall media coverage if Michelle O. had done such. That’s all you need to know.

You don’t have to be sorry about it. I think we know what you are.
