Republicans, by about 8-to-1, say the news media has a negative effect on the way things are going in the U.S.

The media just can’t stop lying about President Trump’s views on racism and hatred.
The media has been awash in praise for the joint statement that former presidents George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush put out on Wednesday concerning the violence in Charlottesville. The statement was viewed as a rebuke of Trump’s statements.
The Dallas Morning News headline said, “Former presidents Bush rebuke Trump's neo-Nazi stance.” The New York Times called it “a rare joint rebuke of Mr. Trump.” The New York Times praised George W. Bush for leading the condemnation of former KKK leader David Duke in 1991, and then accuses President Trump of being “equivocal in his public or private statements against white nationalists and other racist organizations.” The Times alleged Trump is “embracing” America’s “racially charged past.”
This all comes despite the Times’ Julie Davis quoting Trump as saying last November, “I disavow and condemn them,” in reference to a neo-Nazi conference in Washington, D.C.
But the strange thing about the Bush statement is that it so closely parallels Trump’s own statements. They wrote: “America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms.” How is that fundamentally different than Trump saying on Saturday, “We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides…. It has no place in America.”
What about Trump’s statement on Monday? “As I said on Saturday, we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America. And as I have said many times before, no matter the color of our skin, we all live under the same laws.” Or Trump’s statement on Tuesday? “I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because . . .

How does NBC reconcile their current meme that Trunk is a racist with the fact that they proudly featured his show “The Apprentice” for something like 10 years???
FAKE NEWS.
Thanks for posting
President Trump had the right response.
Was he supposed to encourage violence against the neo-Nazis and Klansmen? A president is NOT supposed to tell the country it is OK to attack and maim and murder any group or individual.
Since everyone right of center is called a racist and Nazi by the left, how long would it be until the average joe sixpack is called a Nazi and attacked by the left? How long before we get attacked?
Trump was right to denounce the violence on both sides.
To bad those in the media and academia and the left do not understand that.
God bless America and Donald Trump.

Oh they understand, alright. As they say, you don't choose war, but sometimes war chooses you.
And the Left has chosen War, but we don't even realize it.
