Glenn Greenwald of the Intercept, formerly of The Guardian newspaper, laid out in an interview with Slate magazine that the media in the United States has decided to band together in a last-ditch effort to stop the rise of 2016 GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump.
Greenwald, the progressive journalist who broke the Edward Snowden mass government surveillance storyline, was asked what he thought about Donald Trumps press conference recently in which Trump joked that Russia should release any emails...
OK, so, I am glad you asked about that because this is the conflict that I am currently having: The U.S. media is essentially 100 percent united, vehemently, against Trump, and preventing him from being elected president. I dont have an actual problem with that because I share the premises on which it is based about why he poses such extreme dangers. But that doesnt mean that as a journalist, or even just as a citizen, that I am willing to go along with any claim, no matter how fact-free, no matter how irrational, no matter how dangerous it could be, in order to bring Trump down.
Greenwald bashed the New York Times for pushing, in his words, unmitigated bullsh*t. He went on to say:

And this also goes for their media pollsters, and the like minded liberal colleges who do the polls play you for fools with their erroneous polling models. Marist for example who spam polls for NBCWSJ.

Glenn Greenwald: U.S. Media Is 100% United Against Donald Trump When this is done, we need to hammer the media with Federal prosecutions. We need to make them understand that when you tamper with elections, there is a burning that will come to you.
It ought to be our solemn duty to disassemble the existing media monopoly and force it's replacement to be objective.

It did not happen under Abe Lincoln — it never will, and never should.
If people are too effete to value truth over palpable lies, they deserve exactly what their dollars have voted for.

The Ministry of Propaganda has its marching orders.
Stop Donald Trump
The Cheap Labor Express simply cannot allow the citizens to reverse 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders.
Do you silly peasants think you can keep the rule of law and your country?

This is just what happens when we lower taxes on corporate and corporate people. They don’t need us anymore. That was a mistake and I Hope we rectify it in the future.

Donald is living rent free in their heads as an inexorable consequence of this.
To be the occasion of tempting the news to a full on jihad of lies could be worse. The news will blow its credibility, which is a good thing, not a bad one.

Let us not forget that Mr. Trump is simply a proxy for all of us; the entire spectrum of red blooded Americans.
I don’t think very many of us realized we had so many domestic enemies. And ferocious as well.

You are right-- the media takes something he says out of context and then runs with the story for four days and all the pundits blame Trump for going off message.
This is how the media translates what Trump has said
The Mexican government sends murderers and rapist into our country ====translated by media==== Trump says all Hispanics are murderers and rapist..
Megyn Kelly was bleeding from her eyes and wherever ====translated by media==== wherever refers to her vagina and her period
People are saying, Khan's mother did not talk, perhaps she couldn't ====translated by media==== Trump dishonors American hero soldier who died in Iraq
The Judge in my civil case may have a bias against him personally because of his cultural and family background ====translated by media==== Trump is a racist who think Hispanics are not qualified to be Judges.
The second amendment supporters need to make sure Hillary does not take their rights away. ====translated by media==== Trump committed treason by encouraging assassination of Hillary..
I bet the Russians already have her emails that were kept on an unsecured server in her basement, they should release them ====translated by media==== Trump is encouraging Russians to tamper with the U.S. election
and there are probably a hundred more..

It doesn't matter who the GOP candidate is as this is the treatment that any of them would receive from the media. Unfortunately, the #NeverTrump crowd are too stupid or corrupt to understand this.

Putin finds it way easier to just shoot a few.
Amazing how quick they stop the nonsense.
The press wants the Government to steal our money and the moozlums to kill us.
Show them no mercy.

MSM, DEMs, Gov’t are ALL IN. They have everything to lose in this election. They have carried the water for the Clintons and Obama Muzzies. The only way they survive is a Hillary win.

He likely envisions a meeting not unlike the one at which Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev ate President John F. Kennedys lunch in Vienna.Or it could be like when Reagan ate Gorbachev's lunch at Reikjavik.
