Replace the word “believes” with “knows.”

The Nazis initially appealed to people by showing up by the truckload to stop crowds like this when the Weimar government was too weak to do so; that is how they made their first appearances. People looked to them to protect private property, businesses, etc.; they went off the rails when they ascribed racial causes for the Bolshevism. Prior to that, few people (besides the communists and anarchists) viewed the Nazis as a bad thing; instead they saw them as a group that would protect the country and their way of life.

Trump era? People wise up much earlier than that, you fool.

How about 8+ years of nonstop drooling over Obama?

How about 8+ years of George McChimpHilterBush?

How about .....

But of course, it is Orange Man Bad TRUMP !!!! that people don’t trust the media.

The mass media is not the “resistance”.

They are enemy propagandists.

Mika Brzezinski - He could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think and that is our job.

Anyone who refers to this constitutional republic as “our democracy” is most assuredly the enemy.

Concise and a bullseye. Good post.

What you mean is that you don’t want people to see you and the MSM for exactly what you are - dishonest Leftist political activists who are not to be trusted or believed.

Too late. The MSM really let the mask slip in 07 when Obama came along. All pretense of standards, integrity and professionalism was dropped by the MSM at that point.

I’ve reached the logical conclusion by observing, comparing and contrasting the behavior of the MSM with DJT and his opposition that they are not journalists providing neutral information. They are the Praetorian Guard of the Progressive activist and detrimental to our republic and constitution

“I’m not part of the resistance,” Karl elaborated. “I’m not his political opponent. I don’t want people to see me in there and think I’m just out to get him. “


I’ve watch Mr. Karl on ABC. He certainly IS part of the resistance. And his reporting has definitely helped contribute to the current climate. Despite that, he seems incredulous that people see him for what he is.

"The events that have played out since those early days of the Trump White House have in some ways vindicated Jim Acosta," Karl said.

These people are truly nuts. Lying is now "vindicated."

What’s amazing is that they have total lack of self-awareness. They’ll blame Trump for how the public views them rather than any amount of introspection.

Thanks for that summary of what happened during that task force briefing.

I have said the same thing to many friends who are easily convinced by the mainstream media traitors and they all still believe Trump said inject disinfectant because of the lying press.

Most don’t bother to investigate beyond what they hear during the normal new cycle. This is how they succeed in their dishonest reporting.

Karl seems to be oblivious as to why the press is perceived as the resistance. It’s not because of the hard questions to the President; it’s because of the lack of questions and covering up for Democrats.

As long as Karl and the Left continues to say “our democracy” they continue to be part of the problem.

I think it's really unfortunate and I think that it has negative consequences for a free press. I think it has negative consequences for our democracy

Yes, a corrupt media campaigning against Trump 24/7 has negative consequences.

I wouldn't mind tough questioning if it were against both sides. But after years of seeing the press fight to take turns kissing Obama's butt and David Brooks needing reconstructive surgery after humping Obama's "perfectly creased pant", it is clear that they have chosen sides like a sports team's paid announcer.

It became 100% obvious when Bush chose Cheney to be his VP and every single news program the next day used the term "gravitas" for Cheney implying that Bush was too immature to be president. They didn't have time to watch and parrot each other, so that means someone in the DNC must have told them to use that word.
