Why Trump's Record Trumps the Media's Spin
The National Intrerest ^ | September 7, 2018 | Christian Whiton

This is a great read....for those wonderful Freepers who still read....(you know who you are!!)...lol

Why Trump's Record Trumps the Media's Spin

The media is determined to prove that Donald Trump is unfit to be president.

My first reaction to the anonymous anti-Trump op-ed in the New York Times was perhaps unusual for a resident of the swamp, which has been so hyper this week: I chuckled, rolled my eyes, and didn’t even make it to the end of the article before losing interest.

It probably helps that I spent the week in Colorado and Utah, where seemingly no one cares. In the conversations in which I have participated or overheard, this subject has come up zero times. Muted televisions in airports and hotel lounges, which still carry CNN and its angry commentators out of habit, are blissfully ignored as life happens.

Most people outside the swamp either know what the media is up to or just don’t care anymore.....

Is the media fit to report anything objectively. They flock together in one mindset. Their hero Obama will save the day!

They do question the one with mad cow’s disease since it is a disease that seriously affects the brain. And this other white dude must be suffering from something. He keeps wanting to pee on his leg or something. He is always telling people he has a tingle running up or down his leg before it looks like he has nocturnal ommissions while he is awake.

And where in Utah might that have been? You certainly didn't come HERE.

Maybe Elsie, Colorcountry or JimRob can bring you up to date.

Can we invoke the 25th amendment on the editors of the NYT?

The ‘media’ is digging their own grave... We will dance on the grave of the corrupt New York Times...

Last paragraph:Amen to that!

Looks like the media is/has lost their grip on the average American who is way more concerned about jobs, etc. than who is banging who in liberal Wash DC.

It's been two years since I was there; in Moab being checked for a kidney stone.

I long to be back; to smell the rain; fresh on the red rock.

The aroma of juniper on the breeze and hints of the Ancients in hidden nooks and crannies.

You could say Trump towers (pun intended) above the collective mind cult of those that makes up the Munchkin Media.

Amen brother....... Utah is a fantastic place to drive around and soak up the views.

The trip up or down the Mokee Dugway is an experience for a life time.

Have you looked over the side at the pulloff and seen the old wreck(s) below?

Imagine what a slight glaze of icy rain would do to that road if it were paved!

“That lesson is that the media and the commentariat no longer determine public opinion.”

yep. that is exactly what has finally happened ... the lying leftist fake stream enemedia has finally reaped what’s it been sowing for the last three years: namely complete lost of all credibility; no one who’s truly been paying attention listens to them anymore ... they can cry wolf falsely only so many times until no one believes them anymore ... and that time has finally arrived for the lying leftist fake stream enemedia: they’ve cried wolf hundreds of times every day for three years now and every speck of their credibility is gone forever and can never be recovered ... ever ...
