Not much is happening in Washington these days. Just more of the same as President Trump continues to change or scrap the policies of the previous president and the media responds by insisting each time that the sky is falling.
It’s nine months into the administration, and there is no rest for the hair-on-fire coverage. Whether it’s Trump’s move to make changes to NAFTA, decertify the Iran deal, eliminate some ObamaCare rules or cut taxes, each is greeted with a collective howl of outrage.
Every report is a parade of horrors that celebrates critics as truth-telling prophets. All the code words about cruelty to the poor and benefits for the rich are trotted out, capped with warnings about race and gender impacts.
The hyperbolic language is designed to stoke partisan fear and rally the resistance. “Sabotage” is how The New York Times editorial page described the president’s changes to ObamaCare (paywall), and it accused Trump of intentionally harming millions of people. Imagine that.
And so it goes, day after day, issue after issue. Stripped of policy fig leaves, the media reaction amounts to, “You can’t do that! That’s not how Barack Obama did it!”
See, the newcomer isn’t welcome to the neighborhood. The White House and the presidency still belong to Obama. And whatever Obama did was right, so any changes are wrong.
Never mind that unemployment is at a 17-year low and the stock market is at historic highs, or that it’s boom times for consumer and business sentiment. The economic recovery is going global, but Trump, we are assured, deserves zero credit.
The knee-jerk anti-Trump coverage shows that the media didn’t learn anything from its biased performance during the 2016 campaign. It’s still shilling for Democrats, with the left’s political talking points echoed in headlines, articles and broadcasts.

December 2013 - Our Healthcare Premiums were about $957 a Month.

I think our Mailman stole our $2,500 Obama Check again this year.
America owes B O something.
But i won’t say what it is, other than to say it involves his ugly puss and a sandwhich made from knuckles.
I would say some rope, but that would be racissss.
That smartazz.......he’s out for Trumps blood. No one’s going to undo his 8 years of destroying this country and turning one against another. I wish he’d just leave the county.
My wife and I retired to Spain in March 2016. That's more than I pay in a year.
Love it.
He’s the worst thing to happen to us since Lyndon Johnson.
Obama is a smarmy, conceited, malicious, Marxist bastard.
First time I saw that youtube I was disgusted with his smug disdain.
Sorry to say, you’re prolly right. We’re stuck with this loser, like Jimmuh Carter sticking his oar in, unasked, for many years. I believe he’s largely responsible for the sharp racial animus of the last few years.
He owes him a prison sentence.
It’s funny how the MSM treats every Trump move as a personal affront to Obama. Shows how they’ve deified him over the years.
So true. An affront to obummer is an affront to the entire leftist media (MSM). It's like a slap in the face to each and every one of these quasi-journalists. They can't be considered real journalists since they are so heavily biased. I think most of them are glad the cat is out of the bag so they don't have to hide their bare animosity to everything right wing and especially the guy who ruined their plans for taking over America; for now anyway. Maybe President Trump will not only right the ship but give America a final and last chance to take America back from the nasty Marxist Leftists hell bent on destroying it so they can rebuild it in the image they want which would be nothing like we want.
Love ya, Mr. President.
Obama was our very first black racist president
When they started talking about Obamacare Hubby’s insurance premiums through his old employer was just over $500 per month. Last year when he went on Medicare they were over $800 per month. He still gets notices from them for increases. He got one the other day that for 2018 the premium would be $1600 per month.....for 1 person. Him.
The Lyin’ Hawaiian is in Trump’s rear view mirror.
I totally agree tumblindice.......
