Another week has gone by in which the media covering the president of the United States has committed reckless malpractice more disgraceful than usual.
Last Friday, President Trump hosted athletes from the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics at the White House. For 20 minutes he celebrated their accomplishments, often calling them to the podium and joking with them. It was a ceremony of pure goodwill, and the president, as any good hotelier would, made sure each one had a memorable experience.
When he brought the gold medalists from the curling team up to the podium to great applause, one of them, Matt Hamilton, exclaimed, “It helped that your daughter was there cheering us on.” Ivanka had held his teammate’s child on her lap during the game, he explained.
That’s why the fifth-column leftist media saboteurs are traitors to the United States of America.
Individual voices, while shocking that left wing rags may occasionally employ them, coming from the editorial staff is when I become extremely shocked. Glad to know my perceptions are sometimes proven wrong. 8>)
Why didn’t you post that this was an “excerpt” and certainly not a complete one? Not even a quote that explained what the press distorted.. We shouldn’t have to go to the link to see the purpose of the thread.
“”And the firestorm of media distortion began.
“It’s a little tough to watch too much, but I watched as much as I could” was positioned by the media as the president being so repulsed by the disabled athletes that he could not bear to behold the spectacle for very long at all.
Of course, all he was saying was that he didn’t have very much time to watch TV.””
You make a good point, a left-wing publication could have a token conservative columnist, but that was more common a few years ago before the progressive PC got so intense.
