How the Main Stream Media is Helping Donald Trump
23 January 2017 | John Turbeville

Posted on 01/23/2017 7:58:08 PM PST by John Turbeville

Even since Donald Trump announced his candidacy in June 2015, the main stream media has tried to derail the great movement of Americans desiring a government responsive to the people, and one capable of securing our borders and enforcing our laws. Donald Trump has promised this to the American people, and that was why he was elected in November. Again, despite their numerous attempts to rid Trump from politics, the man became the front-runner during the primaries, won the Republican nomination, won the general election, and is now the President of the United States. What the media has not realized is this: they are helping Donald Trump! Americans are tired of the demoralizing attempts of the media to suppress their honest concerns for America; they want to go to the store without fear of being killed, they want to send their children to a safe school, and they want to finally be proud of their country again. Everytime they turn the television on, they are provided huge displays of why their vision for America is wrong. People are tired of this, so they have ignored the liberal media. It is the same with Hollywood actors who have overestimated their importance in Americans' lives. They thought threats of moving to Canada would persuade voters to vote for Hillary, but they soon found out Americans didn't care. The media is helping Donald Trump Make America Great Again by alienating Americans to tune the media out, and tune Trump in.

They can’t help themselves. I’m enjoying these sheep making azzez out of themselves. Jackassery on display. Of course most everyone is already bored with their stupid whiny tantrums.

I’ve given up on Libertarian Rush and Globalist Fox News. For me it’s Free Republic and Trump Tweets for the duration of hostilities.

Heck we were eager & willing to help, if they promised to do it and stay gone. But alas they were hollow threats and we are stuck with them.

The funniest thing is, they now understand they totally misjudged the election but they haven’t learned a damned thing because they continue to totally misjudge Trump.

If he goes wobbly on illegal aliens he will alienate himself from the only support he has, the US citizens.

Both parties and the media fought him every step of the way, WE were the only reason he got where he is.
WE supported him because he promised to finally restore the rule of law.

If he fails to stop Obama’s illegal DACA program and continues to let USCIS give them papers he will have violated our trust in him.

I stopped watching all those people having tantrums. Just shut um off. It's a whiny distraction. A flock of butt hurt sheep. I'm watching Trump make history.☺

Btw, lets hope they keep it up. Every time they try to trip Trump, they fall face first. This is great sport.

“Americans didn’t care?” Hell, I still wish the entire bunch of whiny, self-important, empty headed fools would leave the country!

Of course, that would mean a liberal kept a promise, so forget it.

Fox Business News was on the Trump train - Maria Bartiloma, Stuart Varney, Lou Dobbs to name a few. So I watch them sometimes - like for the inauguration.

Yes they are. I used to watch Maria on CNBC, and Stuart Varney and Lou Dobbs when they were on CNN. It’s great to have them all on the same Business Channel.

Now, if they could just get Rick Santelli who started ranting one day that we needed a Tea Party after several of Obama’s laws that would be good too.

Interesting, Stuart Varney after living here for years, recently became an American citizen.

The media and their leftist comrades have completely misread the result of this election and their precipitous fall from power over the last several years.

They’re training all their fire on President Trump, but he’s merely the messenger of a much, much larger army of outraged citizens who’ve completely had enough of Democrats, liberals, globalists, envirowackos, social justice warriors, racists, welfare parasites, rioters, vulgarians, commies, Hollywood, global warmists, LGBTQXYZ perverts, mediabots, academics, OWSers, BLMers, La Razans, and every other denizen of that putrid cesspool.

They fail to comprehend that they’re displaying the very attitudes and behaviors that have put their party in the weakest position in living memory.

It’s their ideas, ideology, and policies, that have been rejected. Doubling down on them, and ratcheting up the energy to push them down our throats, is not going to work. It’s only going to further stiffen our resolve to rid the country of their debased ideology, once and for all.

Keep it up, lefties. You’re going to fall even further out of power.

I'm pretty sure that the president is all too aware that his promise to rid the country of illegal aliens is the primary reason he was elected, and that any failure to deliver on his signature promise will be a death knell for his presidency.

Until he shows me otherwise, I have no reason to doubt he'll come through with flying colors.

I hope so, but the USCIS is still handing out work papers to illegal aliens under DACA in the meantime.
Every day that goes by without any action is another 40-50 illegals given permission to remain here and work.
DACA needs to be stopped now.

Trump has to be serious and effective about the wetbacks for domestic credibility and he has to keep his promises to Israel for international credibility. If ha makes big effective moves in both those directions he is in cement. Those two things taken care of early will make it much easier to go through with the rest of his promised programs.

That’s OK. Both Rush and Fox have record ratings. They don’t need you.

FBN are mouth pieces for the Cheap Labor Express and love trade deals and hate tariffs. Any kind of protectionist talk gets their hackles up. Any enthusiasm for Trump is fake or contrived.

I don’t need Fox and Fox doesn’t need me. Perfect arrangement.
