Trump and the Media: Business as Usual But With a Key Difference (Trump bites back)
American Spectator ^ | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 07/30/2015 5:58:45 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Donald Trump raped his wife! Mogul hates breast-pumping lawyer! Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Pardon me if I roll my eyes. Or just laugh out loud at the cynicism of the whole thing.

The other day the Daily Beast ran a story — this story right here — that purported to tell a presumably gullible public that Donald Trump had raped his wife. Really. The headline was as follows:

Ex-Wife: Donald Trump Made Me Feel ‘Violated’ During Sex: Ivana Trump once accused the real-estate tycoon of ‘rape,’ although she later clarified: not in the ‘criminal sense.’
The very first paragraph of this story by reporter Tim Mak read as follows:
Donald Trump introduced his presidential campaign to the world with a slur against Mexican immigrants, accusing them of being “rapists” and bringing crime into the country.
Bluntly put? That is flatly untrue. A deliberate falsification of Trump’s speech. Trump was talking then — and ever since — about…illegal immigration. Not “Mexican immigrants” but “illegal immigrants.” A very considerable difference in fact.

The media can’t stand it that they can’t just say “...some say you (so and so)....” and Trump doesn’t pee his panties and fall all over himself trying to profusely apologize like those little girls we have up in Congress posing as Republican men.

I see this, as the time when some older kids trapped me in a store alcove, and somebody landed a hand on my face, just knocking off my glasses, not even budging me ...

“Is that the best ya got?”

(I smiled, they got that ‘uhoh’ eyeball’)

Geaux, Donald!

Did you know that Trump ran over an opossum while driving to college, and PETA wants him arrested. Yessiree. Unqualified to be President.

Still floggin’ that lie, eh Rooster? The best way to defeat a lie is to not keep repeating it, and even dressing it up in a different costume and giving it a new headline each time. Starting to remind me of some of the Palin haters. Tsk-tsk.

TRUTH; A rare thing found in any news item in the media today. Lies in the lines and between the lines and picked by the low info people of the country. Cannot over estimate the ignorance of the populace and the media.

Trump wore a military uniform in High school and they criticize him because he didn’t qualify physically to serve. There are reasons standards were placed on recruits.

Bill Clinton got deferrals. The majority of our Presidents did not serve in uniform, but now they want to make an issue of it. It isn’t going to resonate with the folks.

The best way to defeat a lie is to expose it to the truth...not to ignore it.

That's what this article does.

I can hardly wait for Trump to be in the tabloids at the supermarket. I hear he has slept with aliens from outer space.
