Networks on Trump: A ‘Dark Speech’ From a ‘Vengeful’ ‘Demagogue’
newsbusters.org ^ | 7/22/2016 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 07/22/2016 8:50:08 AM PDT by rktman

The three networks on Thursday night immediately derided Donald Trump’s “dark speech” as one coming from a “vengeful” “demagogue.” On NBC, Tom Brokaw allowed that “some” will see Trump as on a “white horse who will lead them to some kind of sanctuary and then pull the drawbridge up.” But he sneered, “Others looking in are going to see someone they will only think as a demagogue of some kind.”

Chuck Todd labeled, “I thought it was an extraordinarily dark speech.” Republican operative Nicolle Wallace lamented, “We are now represented as a party by a man who believes in protectionism, isolationism and nativism.”

Over on CBS, Evening News anchor Scott Pelley immediately dismissed, “It was a loud voice, more vengeful than hopeful. More hyperbole than details.” This Morning co-host Charlie Rose huffed that the address had “little appeal to the better angels.”

Trump's speech was all about specifics. He is going to create order where we now have anarchy and assassination of our police. He is going to quickly stop ISIS from infiltration and creating terror in this nation. He is going to make trade agreements which will be fair to our nation and our people. He is going to create jobs and repair our disintegrating infrastructure. He is going to see to it that our veterans do not die while they wait for healthcare. He is going to move to be sure that every child has a good education and he is going to build a fence to keep out the people who need to come here legally and not illegally so that we can know who they are and where they come from. He is going to restore law and order and that sounds great to Americans who think this country is going in the wrong direction. The main thing he will do is to take the power out of the hands of the super wealthy from here and other nations who are pulling the strings of the Democrat party for their own benefit at the expense of this nation and it's people.

Crytodemocrat "Republican" operative Nicolle Wallace lamented, “We are now represented as a party by a man who believes in protectionism, isolationism and nativism.”

So, Nicolle - did your Democrat Copkiller Party nominate Trump?

Or is Crooked Hillary a man now, and is embracing protectionism, isolationism and nativism?

Wonder how Scott "Smelley" Pelley manages to talk with a mouthful of musloid manparts?

They all said the same things - it must be plagiarism.

If you love the Bushes, then Hillary is your candidate. Clintons and Bushes are the same. They may spew different rhetoric for the masses to fool them into thinking they are different, but both lead to the same destination.

"...The media talking heads are even more loathing of Trump than they were with Reagan..."

As someone who lived through those times and voted in those elections, that's a bold statement! Back then, they WERE foaming at the mouth...

Ah, yes - Tom Brokaw, that connoisseur of 0bama tossed salad...

Tom is the basis of the popular idiom "on it like Brokaw's face on 0bama's rump".

It’s dark because it says that in the last eight years we have become less safe, we have less employment, and we have abused the military.

Q:Which hand does 0bama use to wipe himself, his left or his right?

A: Neither. America's media network anchors have got that covered for him [aka "a wash and a Simonize"].

You can’t say “dark” anymore. Now you made me flee to my safe space.

How can such shallow, irresponsible so-called journalists survive on lack of substance?

Thank you.

Unfortunately, the short answer is advertising dollars. You can complete the loop.

Yes!

I’m convinced they had these replies ready this past Monday.

Does anyone here really believe they’d give this convention generally, and Trump specifically, a fair hearing?

That none of them liked it says so much about Media Bias!

However, let me make a prediction: No matter how awful, whether by delivery or by words, they will absolutely ADORE Hillary’s acceptance speech, love Bill Clinton’s address, and find the democrat convention a breath of fresh air after the hell that was this week. Bank on it.

Pro-Left, Pro-democrat, driveby media bias is what you’re witnessing.

They even try to deny it, but it’s shit like this we MUST use as Exhibit A, Exhibit B, etc., etc.

Throw in tossing Obama’s salad and a dirty Sanchez, and I do believe you’d have the media down to a “T”.

Did Trump threaten the people with global warming if they did not pay up to the UN?

The liberal media clearly had their talking points coordinated before the speech and no matter what Trump had to say they were going to call it “dark” and scary.

True, I heard on local media that the national media were packing up and getting ready to leave even before the speech was over.
