Ping.
Chris is hurt since WaPo got kicked to the little kids table.
Trump has made the Compost even more irrelevant during this election.
WaPo = Gawker
In fact we should call it the Gawker Post from now on.
Hey Chris, I gotta tip for ya:
Stay out of gay bars.
That's leftist Big Media's favorite tactic: "Some say ...", "But critics say ...", "Others have said ..."
Maybe these pretend journalists at the WP should first explain to us exactly what Obama meant by this: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”
And also why he felt the need to say it.
>>Jenna Johnson, who covers Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for The Post, wrote a very important piece Monday that details how the presumptive Republican nominee moves rumor and innuendo into the public consciousness without ever having to directly answer for it.
Says a writer for a leftist rag that can take a story about a Gay Muslim who walks into a gay nightclub and kills a bunch of people and turn it into a story about how evil law abiding people’s guns are.
Besides, this author plagiarized this whole idea from Scott Adams who correctly surmised that this is actually something that a Master Persuader keeps in his tool box.
This is a tactic the MSM uses all the time ...
"Sources say ..."
"It has been reported that ..."
...
Wapo sure has its drawers in a knot since Trump snubbed them. The liberal reaction to Donald has been very entertaining and fun.
The press frames questions that way all the time.
They’re outraged that he’s even better at it than the lamestream media.
Gee...I don’t remember them going after Katie Couric after she trashed Sarah...and I definitely remember Couric and her Toyko Rose voice saying to Sarah repeatedly “....some say....” and then hitting Sarah with something really nasty.
They’re so used to dealing with the Stupid Party-types, the Paul Ryan’s and Mitt Romney’s and John McCain’s, who start squealing like stuck pugs the minute someone accuses them of crossing whatever the latest leftist-defined line du jour might be. Now they’ve got someone with their own megaphone directly to the people, someone who understands that all other freedoms depend on freedom of speech. They don’t know what to do.
Very True.
Isn’t is also the same thing when the news media (print or TV) uses phrases like “Sources say...”, “Area citizens oppose...”, “A recent study revealed...”, or “An unnamed official said...” when they report.
Sure they could be protecting sources but they also could be using qualifiers to avoid being sued. They use it all the time to push fringe positions to the mainstream (e.g. same-sex marriage).
They are just mad because Trump can play their game as well or better than they can.
- Trump agrees to allow Post reporters to cover his campaign.
- The Post agrees to change its masthead to read "The Phony, Dishonest Washington Post."
I love the smell of desperation in the air.
It smells like... Victory.
`Pssst, some say Trump is a rumor monger ... ‘
The WashCompost, RIP 2016 presidential campaign
Once again the left accusing others of what they do.
“...political innuendo and rumor-mongering...”
That is, saying anything the Washington Post elite don’t want you to know.
