Wash Post Columnist: Trump has Beaten the Liberal Media
MRC Newsbusters ^ | 10/21/2017 | Jeffrey Lord

Interesting.

 

The Washington Post’s Philip Bump (full disclosure my former CNN colleague) is one of the first - or maybe so far the only - journalist at a mainstream media outlet to get what is seriously disquieting news for the mainstreamers.  Here’s Phil’s headline:

Trump’s already largely won his war against the media

Phil begins his story this way: 

The choice that President Trump asks America to make is a simple one and one that he’s demanded since he jumped into the presidential race. Who are you going to believe, he asks: An industry of people whose jobs depend on presenting factually accurate information about what’s happening in the world — or me?

And from the outset, we’ve seen how his supporters answer that question. They believe him.

Well, okay. Phil has something here but right off the bat he illustrates exactly - and I do mean exactly - the media’s problem. 

Notice the way he describes the media? Like this: “An industry of people whose jobs depend on presenting factually accurate information about what’s happening in the world…”

Not to put too fine a point on this, but the exact reason for the media’s problem is precisely because millions of Americans believe the mainstream media (that would include, ahem, Phil’s own Washington Post) is not  reporting“factually accurate information about what’s happening in the world..”

Maybe that’s why they had to drag W away from his palette to attack the 63 million Americans that voted for HIS dumb ass twice.

It’s pretty incredible what can happen when you aren’t dependent on someone else’s money (Trump is wealthy) and don’t need the media to convey your message (Trump’s mastery of social media). And when you have the guts to just do the right thing.

It's not "his war."

It's "our war."

The reality is they (the press) are creating news from whole cloth because they think all Americans are stupid and will believe whatever they are told. Sorry, while it is true that Americans are becoming less educated, even though they possess degrees from “higher” education institutions , there are still enough that know when they are being lied to consistently from the so called mainstream news outlets.

The Ministry of Propaganda is still churning out propaganda.
We will know we have won when they actually report factually accurate information fairly without an agenda.

I, for one, will never give up on Trump or Trumpism. The media has failed and will continue to do so.

As with Weinstein, a trapped wolf will gladly chew off his own leg to get out of the trap. The wolf cannot see the dismemberment is the beginning of a slow protracted death. But the wolf is still able to bite until it is dead. Go Donald! MAGA

Bingo.

Who could ever run for office without swamp money? Trump was a self made man indebted to no one, worth billions.

A candidate arrives in office already indebted to the swamp, obligated to perform accordingly.

Trump blew up the whole swamp path and its pay to play debt traps, because he could.

But the LSM still needs a beating.....

I want it to come to a point where they need body guards when they cover events. Especially antiFA and BLM.

What about Cruz’s dad and JFk. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if there was something in the suddenly declassified JFK papers?
