First they come after you, then they target your family and business relationships
It is no secret that the mainstream media has decided that the threat presented by a possible Donald Trump presidency is so grave that it has suspended even the illusion of objectivity. Writing in The New York Times, media columnist Jim Rutenberg granted permission to his fellow journalists to throw out the textbook American journalism has been using for the better part of the past half-century, if not longer, and approach it in a way youve never approached anything in your career.
The Observer and others have detailed the ways in which traditional media companies and even tech companies have colluded to maximize negative coverage of Trump and minimize negative coverage of his opponent, Hillary Clinton. But it doesnt end there. As Rutenberg described, many journalists feel the need to move closer than youve ever been to being oppositional.
That opposition has extended into new and uncharted territory. In the coordinated effort to stop a dangerous candidate from obtaining, to use Rutenbergs breathless description of the stakes, control of the United States nuclear codes, the mainstream media has taken not just to bashing Trump but to extracting a price even from those who support him...

I'm biting my tongue, putting together a proper letter to the editor but want to weigh my words carefully, be most emphatic about how disgusted I am with their biased coverage, but want to wait till after Labor Day when more people will be paying attention.
Any good suggestions I can add to my arsenal?
There’s a super nice waitress at our local supper club that told us she has never voted in her life (approx. 50 yo) and she says she will make SURE she votes and votes for Trump. Then she laughed and added....... vote early and often.
She said she’s so disgusted and he makes sense. She works two jobs, single gal.
How many more like this. Yes you’re right - he relates. He’s worked with those you listed. Can you ask Hildabeast with whom she’s worked? bwahaha shudder the thought.
True, America was warned that it would be taken over with out a shot being fired, meaning we would be taken over by the same evil who took the eastern countries over.
Even in the sixties we were warned by Goldwater and others against socialism and communism.
While the republicans bash the president for refusing to say terrorists the republicans were afraid to call the modern Democrats what they are and that is evil satanistic Communists.
I wished i had more hope for Donald Trump winning the
election but we need to face it, the American people has gotten use to being fed with out doing any sweating of their own, so the fact that Hillary is a hated bi-tch is not going to make them vote for Trump no matter how much they like him.
Whenever, our local rag starts that bs, I send a pending cancellation note of the rag, with a copy of our credit rating, 841. We have a few friends who join us. We ask them how long advertisers will spend $’s for welfare thugs, illegals and unemployed 20-30 year olds living with their parents.
I remind them of what happened to Macy’s and is happening to Target.
Amazingly, they will have editorials for Trump after that.
Sometimes, you have to pull the plug, like I did with the Gay SF Chronicle when Reagan was president.
Coming to the realization that the MSM has becom the official arm of the liberal establishment, it carries no weight with the Trump supporters. And, its a permanent loss of credibility and trust of the general public toward the media.
Win, or lose, the media has forever lost millions of followers who have been shown the lies and corruption in the media. And the irony is, if Hillary wins, the press is a giant step away from being a state controlled entity, with freedom of the press out the liberal window.
Theyre setting up their own demise.
The GOPe
The MSM
The DNC
And finally Big Government!
:)
Go Trump!
credit rating...... advertisers. Good ideas. Perfect. I’ll use those tidbits. Freepers rock.
Everyone donate monthly. My 2 cents.
Thanks Grampa Dave
