Still examining their own navels, it would seem.

If the media people actually believed in even the POSSIBILITY of a divine power, they would be singing the words of an old Mac Davis song, “Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble, When you’re perfect in every way.....”

Why let these bastards push you out of what had used to be genuine Americana?

Certainly, don’t drink the MSM kool-aid (Psalm 73 calls this “waters of abundance”) but for the rest, just grin, wear your MAGA hat, and say hello. Watch them either cringe, or else wise up and get with the new program.

If asked (and no one will) I would advise closing the White House Press room I would provide space in another building, empty, and the various news media would be responsible for the build out.

Next, I would create a web page and post the daily briefings on the web page along with photos from the official white house photographers.

All official news releases would be on this web site so anyone can have access to them without going through the media gate keepers

Perhaps once a month I would give a one on one interview (recorded) to a reporter from some red state.

There is no reason that the President has to be at the beck and call of the media. They certainly did not require Hillary or Obama to hold regular news conferences and Trump should not have to either.

The first problem is calling it YAHOO! News! as if this is an actual news organization. It’s a propoganda arm of the elite, not actual journalism, you know, like investigating are reporting “true” facts.

said Alan Rosenblatt, a digital consultant and strategist at Lake Research Partners and Turner4D who opposed Trump.

That whole sentence is a large part of the problem. This is a paid profession?

Inread the comments.... Maybe 50..... I did not see anything but pro trump. I now believe that these articles are stuffed with lefty comments by paid individuals. Not a single lefty comment after the election.

"It's organized digital bullying," Rosenblatt said... "They would focus in on progressive Democratic tweeters and barrage them and abuse them to try to incite an inappropriate response."

As opposed to the organized digital bullying by the left or Megyn and her friends or the organized physical bullying by the Postesta-Soros gang.

Excellent advice. I always wonder if there are Trump people here in FR reading posts such as yours.

Trump is the first President to get elected using social media and the Internet as an alternative to the corrupt MSM to deliver his message. Given that 96% of the enemedia stories/articles were profoundly anti-Trump, and that the alternatives were proven to work, this double-whammy should pretty much be the death knell of the dinosaur media’s influence.

So not only has Trump nearly single-handedly slain both the Bush and Clinton dynasties, he’s also slain the old media. Add to those accomplishments the fact that he’s dealt a major blow to the Uniparty and their elitist masters. And all it took was one billionaire with stainless steel balls.

Hey, Rob Lever, I have one word for your “fact-checking” and alternate reality shit. Wikileaks. We know what your crowd has been up to. We’ve always known it. Now you and your friends have proven it in your own words and deeds.

It actually took one flawed individual with stainless steel balls. Getting past his flaws gave him super charged strength and will continue to do so. What fault can they take him down for now?

“I always wonder if there are Trump people here in FR reading posts such as yours.”

Almost guaranteed. Clearly, various pundits read us. I’ve seen my own exact words used on air more than once, with even an attribution one time to my nom de guerre (though that was taken from a duplicate comment from another site where I use a different handle).

When Yahoo referred to “and a loose network of alternative news sites”, you can bet your bottom dollar that Free Republic is in that list.

Free Republic is a VERY influential site, more so than most here realize.

Nobody has been raked over the coals more than Trump. Nobody.

I have always suspected and hoped that such was the case... thanks for your strong argument for the idea that it is indeed the case.

As many people have pointed out throughout the campaign, “fact checking” has become another word for “liberal propaganda”.

We have watched the MSM vs The Internet battle for some time. We are major participants in that battle.

We won that battle. Trump won that battle.

Thank you Jim Robinson
Thank you Donald Trump
