Trump: Media 'Evil Propaganda Machine' for Democrats

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ripping the "new low" for the media in the coverage of his administration, President Donald Trump ripped "crooked journalism" for being "an evil propaganda machine for the Democrat Party."

President Trump tweeted:

"The Failing New York Times, in one of the most devastating portrayals of bad journalism in history, got caught by a leaker that they are shifting from their Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt.....

President Trump continued:

".....'Journalism' has reached a new low in the history of our Country. It is nothing more than an evil propaganda machine for the Democrat Party. The reporting is so false, biased and evil that it has now become a very sick joke...But the public is aware! #CROOKEDJOURNALISM

President Trump concluded:

"With all that this Administration has accomplished, think what my Poll Numbers would be if we had an honest Media, which we do not!"

The tweets are likely referencing a Slate report of The New York Times executive editor Dan Baquet's address to staff during a town hall meeting:

"This is a really hard story, newsrooms haven't confronted one like this since the 1960s. It got trickier after [inaudible] . . . went from being a story about whether the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia and obstruction of justice to being a more head-on story about the president's character," Slate's transcription of reported Baquet town hall audio read. "We built our newsroom to cover one story, and we did it truly well. Now we have to regroup, and shift resources and emphasis to take on a different story.

President Trump is absolutely correct. And they have been for almost a century.

HOORAY Chief!

Glad PDJT said this.

He needs to do more.

Here’s what I see:

1. Pin drop silence from Barr...no arrests, no indictments.
2. Lindsey Graham straying from his PDJT support leaning towards his PRE- PDJT self.
3. Antifas did enough to be called terrorists by PDJT, but he did not.
4. Epstein’s murder, no cooperation from the prison guards...Clintons getting away with it again.

Hard to take.

Full PDJT support from me, and I’ll still crawl over broken glass to vote for him, but his team is leading him off the path that got him here.

Go with your gut, not the gutless

Think back to 1972, was there a member of the media or a celebrity that didn’t support McGovern? Remember the people that said, “I don’t know how Nixon won, I don’t know anyone who voted for him.”?

That’s what gives me the biggest hope that Trump will cruise in 2020.

Again, rather than just telling it like it is (the truth) Newsmax and rest of the Lying Leftist Media only reports that this is only what Trump is saying.

And again, the headline SHOULD read something like: "Media is an Election Committee for Democrats which Trump calls an 'Evil Propaganda Machine' for Democrats".

[Randy Larsen]

This LSM has been stabbing true Americans in the back for over 50 years and now it is blatantly obvious to all. Open your eyes America!

[thoughtomator]

The NY Times is illegal campaign activities under the fraudulent guise of journalism, and we have hard proof of this already in the DNC and Podesta email leaks.

[dp0622]

But then it’s not news, its an opinion.

Why do they have to spell out what is obvious?

We’re not children.

[Jim W N]

“Strong Evidence That the Media Works Like an Election Committee for Democrats” is not an opinion - it is fact, but a fact the Lying Leftist media will NEVER report. They will only report that “Trump says so”.

[daler]

Check this AP story from this morning:

“PORTLAND, OR.-Police arrested at least 13 people and seized metal poles, bear spray and other weapons Saturday as HUNDREDS OF FAR-RIGHT PROTESTERS and ANTI-FASCIST COUNTER-DEMONSTRATORS swarmed downtown Portland, Oregon.”

So, you see, heroic, peace-loving citizens gathered to push back against the hate and bigotry of those awful right-wing fascists.

The bias and cluelessness of this reporter takes your breath away. And they honestly (maybe) wonder why the president refers to them as “fake news.”

[newfreep]

I was in grad school during Reagan’s 2nd term...and discovered I was one those “radical” conservatives.

I never thought I would ever see another Reagan - even a “Reagan-lite”

But Donald Trump is not only the equal of Reagan but has surpassed him against even greater adversity.

[dsrtsage]

I wonder how many votes Trump will get from people who simply want to spite the dhimmicrats

[BenLurkin]

The President is being Captain Obvious

[Yardstick]

Spot on!

DJT tells it like it is.

Has America's education system, along with parents, churches and communities have failed to teach all children of the real history of our nation?

My comment is based partially on the following information and the Library of Congress web site referenced in the post.

Ohio State Senator and A.M.E. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett, outstanding scholar, Legislator, and Minister, who lived through the period of the Civil War and delivered a most outstanding Centennial Sermon, at St. Paul Church in Norwalk, Ohio, by invitation, honoring the 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, in which he traced the history of nations and that of America, from it's inception and up to the Year of the Centennial of its Declaration.

In that Sermon, Dr. Arnett issued a grave warning of what might happen to America if a group, including academics who then self-described as "Liberals," had its way. Excerpts follow:

"The Danger to our Country.

"Now that our national glory and grandeur is principally derived from the position the fathers took on the great questions of right and wrong, and the career of this nation has been unparalleled in the history of the past, now there are those who are demanding the tearing down the strength of our national fabric. They may not intend to tear it down, but just as sure as they have their way, just that sure will they undermine our superstructure and cause the greatest calamity of the age. What are the demands of this party of men? Just look at it and examine it for yourselves, and see if you are willing that they shall have their way; or will you still assist in keeping the ship of state in the hands of the same crew and run her by the old gospel chart! But ye men who think there is no danger listen to the demands of the Liberals as they choose to call themselves:

"'Organize! Liberals of America! The hour for action has arrived. The cause of freedom calls upon us to combine our strength, our zeal, our efforts. These are The Demands of Liberalism:

"'1. We demand that churches and other ecclesiastical property shall no longer be exempt from just taxation.

"'2. We demand that the employment of chaplains in Congress, in State Legislatures, in the navy and militia, and in prisons, asylums, and all other institutions supported by public money, shall be discontinued.

"'3. We demand that all public appropriations for sectarian educational and charitable institutions shall cease.

"'4. We demand that all religious services now sustained by the government shall be abolished; and especially that the use of the Bible in the public schools, whether ostensibly as a text-book or avowedly as a book of religious worship, shall be prohibited.

"'5. We demand that the appointment, by the President of the United States or by the Governors of the various States, of all religious festivals and fasts shall wholly cease.

"'6. We demand that the judicial oath in the courts and in all other departments of the government shall be abolished, and that simple affirmation under the pains and penalties of perjury shall be established in its stead.

"'7. We demand that all laws directly or indirectly enforcing the observance of Sunday as the Sabbath shall be repealed.

"'8. We demand that all laws looking to the enforcement of “Christian” morality shall be abrogated, and that all laws shall be conformed to the requirements of natural morality, equal rights, and impartial liberty.

"'9. We demand that not only in the Constitution of the United States and of the several States, but also in the practical administration of the same, no privilege or advantage shall be conceded to Christianity or any other special religion; that our entire political system shall be founded and administered on a purely secular basis; and that whatever changes shall prove necessary to this end shall be consistently, unflinchingly, and promptly made.'

"'Let us boldly and with high purpose meet the duty of the hour.'

In another section of the lengthy discourse, Bishop Arnett addressed the topic of "The Greatness of America," as follows:

"Let us see what it is that makes us so great; wherein lies our strength. What has made us one of the greatest powers of the earth, politically and intellectually? Have we come to the conclusion that it is Righteousness that exalteth a nation? We have met to-day at the request of the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and also the Governor of our beloved State, Rutherford B. Hayes. For what? Why call us from our homes? Why come to the house of God? Why not go to the hall of mirth and to the places of amusement to-day? No that is not what they want us to do. We are commanded to go to our 'several places of worship, and there offer up thanks to Kind Providence which has brought our nation through the scenes of another year, and blessed the land with peace, plenty and prosperity.' Then as Americans we have reason to rejoice and congratulate ourselves on the greatness of our beloved country; at this the close of the first hundred years of experimental government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To be a citizen of this vast country is something, and to share in its privileges and duties is more than something." - Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, 1876 "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" -

CENTENNIAL Thanksgiving Sermon, DELIVERED BY REV. B. W. ARNETT, B. D., AT ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH, URBANA, OHIO 1876 - available in the "Library of Congress - Historical Collections" - "African-American Pamphlets from the Daniel A. P. Murray Collection," 1820-1920; American Memory, Washington, DC.

This historical treasure is one which should be prominent in our national discussions, especially now, when our philosophical foundations are being challenged, and when the views of a learned man like Dr. Arnett might shed light on centuries-old ideas about America's history. His theme: Righteousness Exalteth a Nation, but Sin is a Reproach to any People."

"Withdraw from Christendom the Bible, the Church with its sacraments and ministry, and Christian morality and hopes, and aspirations for time and eternity; repeal all the laws that are founded in the Christian Scriptures; remove the Christian humanities in the form of hospitals and asylums, and reformatories and institutions of mercy utterly unknown to unchristian countries; destroy the literature, the culture, the institutions of learning, the art, the refinement, the place of woman in her home and in society, which owe their origin and power to Christianity; blot out all faith in Divine Providence, love, and righteousness; turn back every believer in Christ to his former state; remove all thought or hope of the forgiveness of sins by a just but gracious God; erase the name of Christ from every register it sanctifies—in a word annihilate all the legitimate and logical effects of Christianity in Christendom—just accomplish in fact what multitudes of gifted and learned minds are wishing and trying to accomplish by their science, philosophy, and criticism, and what multitudes of the common people desire and seek, and not only would all progress toward and unto perfection cease, but not one of the shining lights of infidelity would shine much longer. Yes, the bitterest enemies of this holy and blessed religion, owe their ability to be enemies to its sacred revelations - to the inspiration and sublimity of that faith which reflects its glories on their hostile natures. They live in the strength of that which they would destroy. They are raised to their seats of opportunity and power by the grace of Him they would crucify afresh; and is it to be thought that they are stronger than that which gives them strength? Can it be supposed that a religion which civilizes and subdues, and elevates and blesses will succumb to the enmities it may arouse and quicken in its onward march? Are we to tremble for the ark of God when God is its upholder, and protector, and preserver?” - Dr. Benjaming W. Arnett, St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio, Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon, November 1876

Dr. Arnett, an A.M.E. Minister and Ohio State Legislator, was invited to publish this remarkable sermon commemorating the Centennial of the Declaration of Independence by the following method:

The Liberal Media has always been the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party. Also like in 1972, as soon as the "wrong" person won, the Liberal Media and the Democrats decided they needed to force him from office.

Correction: should read, "Has America's education system, along with parents, churches and communities failed to teach all children of the real history of our nation?"

[semaj]

All the Leftist accusations of Trump being a racist, nazi, dictator, tyrant, etc, etc, are designed for future use as political cover, so that when the Left decides to riot after the DOJ starts rounding all these traitorous criminals up for prosecution, the Left can make the claim, “see, we told you he was all of these bad things, and now he’ unjustly persecuting us,” thus justifying to the world their lawless activity.
