Yes! The contrast between the way that the "prestige" media, such as the New York Times, treat Trump--as opposed to Obama & the Clintons--is absolutely revealing; and revealing in a way that we can turn to our advantage.

Major--epic warning--signs in the malignant personal histories of Obama & Mrs. Clinton, go unrecorded, unrecognized. Yet the Times has reporters calling on girls with whom Trump innocently flirted in the 1990s. Utterly ridiculous, but revealing a deeply held bias & a total denial of objectivity or logic.

What particularly strikes me about the latest Times smear attempt, is that it employs exactly the same tactics as the same paper employed in my novel Return Of The Gods, against a Conservative Senate candidate, who like Trump today, was otherwise destroying the Leftist argument.

Now I do not claim to be an oracle or prophet. My novel was simply based on a study of the issues & the behavior of an unprincipled media, in deliberately distorting the issues, and trying to destroy the characters of those for whom they have no intellectual answer on those issues.

BTW, it seems Trump has decided on his ‘branding’ of the New York Times: failing nyt

Savage!

They are actually worse than simply "insignificant." The latest Times smear attempt tries to demonize normal flirtation between normal men & women--of course by unfair innuendo. But this is at the same time, they not only seek to hide the deep commitment of both Obama & Mrs. Clinton to the Marxist Left; but also demonize normal Americans' objections to being forced to repudiate the whole code of Western morality in their absurd redefinition of human marriage.

The Times is not only totally biased. They have abandoned any pretense of operating within American cultural norms, and appear to be spinning towards actual lunacy.

IIRC, they are kept afloat by the sales of real estate properties, not the newspaper itself.

I agree with those who have pointed out the absolute necessity of Trump taking the media on in a forceful and explicit fashion, at every opportunity.
But he must also message directly to potential voters. To do this he may have to expand (greatly) his use means not controlled by the MSM.

I have suggested as have others that Trump would be well served by either buying huge blocks of air time to speak directly to voters and thus lay out the case against HRC in detail, with no media filtering. He also needs to keep up the rallies, both real and digital. He must conceive of a plan to reach voters directly. The MSM will not cover the Clinton scandals. Thus, they will be relegated to websites like these, which reach his supporters, but do not help expand his voter base.

To get the word out to a wider audience will require innovation.

I’m putting that pic on my fb.

The msm is working somewhat. My neighbor who originally thought Trump would be good, now says he’s not Presidential. Knowing him, that is not something that would come out of his brain/mouth. Definitely parroted. I’ll get him straightened out but I don’t even think he votes.

If the Media were really on a witch hunt they would have caught Hillary by now.

The media found out quickly that no matter what they said about Trump (including Fox News) the people would continue to vote for him state after state.

The same response needs to be made loud and clear to all the upcoming accusations. Eventually they will recognize we don’t care about them and have lost interest in the Fifth Estate until they become balanced again.

This last Administration should have truly opened every ones eyes to this.
