Tapper: A Lot of the Media Thinks a Lot of Trump Supporters Are ‘Deplorable,’ ‘Racist’
Breitbart ^ | December 26,2016 | Pam Key

BASH: And she sort of apologized but she didn’t really apologize properly. And correct I’m wrong. I think it was — your interview with Robby Mook, the campaign manager, where he said that was sort of the under-reported thing that really changed their polling internally and made them realize, ‘You know what? It wasn’t necessarily just Comey. It was that issue.’ It made the traditional Democratic base, the people who ended up going to Donald Trump think she really doesn’t get us.

TAPPER: I don’t think there’s any story that demonstrates the divide between the people who report on politicians and the voters, than that story, because a lot of us, our reaction was, okay, she got the number right but a lot of them are deplorable, a lot of them are racist. And what a lot –which is where she landed it, she got the number wrong, not the fact they’re deplorable. And a lot of voters out there were like,

‘You are , you’re talking about my husband. talking about my brother. You’re talking about where I might vote.’ And a woman who worked for the Clinton campaign, her entire job was to just talk to undecided voters in swing states the entire election. She published something in the ‘Boston Globe’ after the election saying that was the moment they all started moving away from Hillary Clinton. Fascinating moment…. Attacking the voters is bad idea. A general rule of thumb.

Yes, and a lot of the Trump supporters consider the so-called “journalists” of the Media to be racist and deplorable—also dishonest, stupid, anti-American, unethical, and immoral.

And those who voted for Obama simply because they thought “the time has come for a black President” — were they not racists?

Of course they were!

CNN may be fun to watch if TRUMP is successful in blowing up D.C.

As Rush has pointed out several times, journalists don’t write to be read by Joe Sixpack in Flyover Country or say what they say to be heard by Suzy Homemaker, they write to be read and say what they say to be heard by their fellow journalists.

The DemocRATs have not been this upset since 1863 when the Republicans freed all of their slaves.

The American media has been long concerned more with style than form or content. As a long time consumer of news and opinion, I began to see many years ago the media’s preoccupation with writing and narrative style as opposed to content accuracy and explanation. When journalists began to consider themselves more novelists that simply reporters, all media forms began to slide downhill.

And TRUMP supporters have stopped listening to the media and their lies and fake news.
