It’s been a busy few weeks in media land, what with Michael Cohen’s sentencing and talk about whether Donald Trump will be impeached, or Michael Flynn’s sentencing and talk about whether Donald Trump will be impeached, or Jamal Khashoggi’s death and how that relates to whether Donald Trump will be impeached.(snip)
That being said, this doesn’t give the media a pass on reporting other aspects of the Trump presidency — particularly those that might paint it in a favorable light.
For instance, you basically had to actively search to find any mention of the Opportunity and Revitalization Council, a $100 billion initiative to deliver growth in urban communities.
“With the creation of today’s council, the resources of the whole federal government will be leveraged to rebuild low-income and impoverished neighborhoods that have been ignored by Washington in years past,” the president said at a Wednesday event in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, where an executive order establishing the council was signed.
“Our goal is to ensure that America’s great new prosperity is broadly shared by all of our citizens. Our country is doing better than ever, economically, and we’re able to do that.”
The council will be led by Ben Carson, head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
“Today, the nation’s unemployment rate is at a 49-year low. Jobless rates among African-Americans down to a record low of 5.9 percent. Wages on the rise,” Carson said. “While we can all be proud of these achievements, one challenge has remained: There are still communities in our country that have seen little or no new investment in generations.”

Model Cities?
Trump has done more for Black Americans than any President in over a hundred years.
Jobs and prosperity are now here because of Trump
Enough for new ships the Navy needs.
After the cities’ elected infrastructures get deeply involved, it will be pouring the money down the literal rat hole. The real solution is to raze all the buildings and relocate all the peoples far, far away. I live near the City of Baltimore and it struck me as very odd that the prime real estate in the city— the land surrounding the harbor, was developed mostly with row houses and low rise apartment buildings that became instant slums after the northern migration during WWII. Sometimes a catastrophe can bring real progress. I was in Hiroshima briefly in 1969 and it was a beautiful clean city.
He’s also done more for Hispanic Americans than anybody else has done. A rising tide lifts all boats...and in addition, Trump is a mensch.
FakeNewsMSM NEVER report anything favourable to President Trump and his relationship with so-called minorities. doesn’t fit their racist meme.
this ceremony should have been shown live across the networks/cables.
W gave $15 billion to fight AIDS in Africa. At least Bono-a phony-gave him credit.
SHhhhhhhhhhhhhhdont tell the blacks
Normal ... the left can’t have their block voters getting ‘uppity’ doubting the DNC lies by discovering a white republican president is trying to help their community.
This is a huge problem. He has to find a way to communicate with the people.
Tweets are good, but he needs to reach more individuals. Increase press conferences? Maybe go on MSM shows and do battle with them face to face? At least a larger number would hear some of his side, in spite of the MSM disrespectful screaming?
The fact that such a high number of people are deceived by the MSM or think they have any credibility is still the number one problem IMO.
Guillotines from orbit is the only way to clean up the globalist propaganda media.
Take 5 billion out of that and build the wall. That will help blacks more.
So, we can afford $100 Billion to pour down the drain in “black” communities but we can’t afford a wall?
How obscene.
We don’t have an honest (MSM) news media in America. The MSM is nothing more than the propaganda arm of the demoncRat party. The lowest of the low presstitutes. The enemedia.
W. Bush did a lot for blacks in Africa. America; not so much.
“Tweets are good, but he needs to reach more individuals. Increase press conferences? Maybe go on MSM shows and do battle with them face to face? At least a larger number would hear some of his side, in spite of the MSM disrespectful screaming?”
I disagree. President Trump’s (I never get tired of saying that) appearance on any MSM outlet would only serve to dignify that (MSM) which deserves no such thing.
private investments, not taxpayers, according to the article.
Looks like a White—>Out....
