Garbage US media doing the work of Communist China with lies about Trump’s latest tariffs
The National Sentinel ^ | 5/13/19 | Jon Dougherty

While many Democrats continue to push the lie that POTUS Donald Trump is a stooge of Russia their allies in the garbage American media are serving as propaganda mouthpieces for Communist China.

On Monday, the Left-wing establishment press peppered the airwaves with one fabrication after another regarding the effect of POTUS Donald Trump’s latest round of tariffs on $200 billion worth of imported goods from China as a way of finally leveling the trade playing field between both countries that has long favored Beijing, and heavily.

In the process, these same propagandists finally came clean about the effect of tax increases on American consumers that their Democratic friends constantly seek.

First things first. The media hyped the fact that the stock market is having a bad day today, with the Dow Jones off by about 600 points as of this writing. That’s patently ridiculous, given that China’s tariff “retaliation,” which Beijing announced on Monday, only amounts to a paltry $60 billion. And it’s paltry because China imports so little American goods in the first place (a key point to remember).

Considering China’s investments in Media and Congress Critters, you can’t say that it is unexpected.
Don’t forget the amount they spent on Hillary and Sleepy, Creepy Joe!

Much of today’s fake news is funded by PRC China, Soros, Saudi/UAE, Rothschild ECB money.

The emerging scandal that has barely hit the radar and that has fake news starting to freak out is that the fake newsgroups did not bother to comply with FARA which is a felony and which they were required to do.

POTUS says they will all be gone in about 6 years. I think that’s more than rhetoric, it’s a reality under FARA.

made a run during lunch hour, and heard national top of the hour feed on a local radio station. it went something like this:

“trump’s tariffs will cost us an average of $700 per person per year.”

“never trump” rove had his white board analysis that used a similar number of about $700 per person eating up a big chunk of the 1,300-1,400 tax reduction.

so looks like echo chamber is operating at full force within an hour of public announcement of china’s retaliation.

US Media and Politicals are in the pay of Red China. They have sold their souls for Chinese Gold. Just as Disney, Hollywood, and everyone else. This will not end well.

Oh yeah. Media is in the tank for Trump hate. Fill their social media feeds with pro-Trump posts. They cannot give answers.

My “back of the envelope” calculation: about $200. per family in the USA for the latest tariffs. ($200 billion * 25%)—>$50 billion in new tariffs (importers/exporters may eat some of that, not likely since they ate at least 10-45% of the last round of tariffs), so let’s say $45 billion in tariffs...$45 billion/221,685,000 tax returns filed in the USA (am calling that 1 tax return per “family”) = $202.99 per “family”.<—

Also will vary highly per family based on how much Chinese krap they buy....some familys buy a lot, some not so much.

There is nothing new about that at all. While China was invading Tibet the Western media (U.S. & European) published whatever propaganda Mao's politburo put out without question. The press only became fans of Tibet after China had thoroughly finished the job.

The press has always been an enemy of the truth.

Today the Mockingbird Media top of the hour report on FNC has bumped up average cost of Trump’s Tariffs for a family of four to $2,000 per year.

markets coming back today, so MSM gotta bump the ante to drive up the scare factor of Trump’s Tariffs.

Cost per family of 4 on track to hit $4-5k by this weekend?

Yeah, the media doing their usual “FUD”(fear-uncertainty-doubt)/totally biased media thing over & over as usual. Not 100% w/Pres. Trump on tariffs (why Canada...an ally/neighbor/friend?). China is a vastly different story...Mark Levin had a good take on it yesterday.
