Howie Carr: Smirking media bias against GOP couldn’t be clearer
Boston Herald ^ | 3 Mar 2019 | Howie Carr

Posted on 03/03/2019 8:13:26 AM PST by Rummyfan

Have you ever noticed how differently Republicans are treated in the media than Democrats?

Every newsroom in the country used to have what was called the “AP Stylebook” to use in writing news stories.

Now you need two AP stylebooks, one for Democrats, about whom seldom is heard a discouraging word, and a second for the GOP, with a hundred different pejoratives.

Two parties, two vocabularies. One positive, one negative — very bad, evil in fact.

Consider the testimony by Michael Cohen last week in front of various Congressional committees.

For example, since he worked for Donald Trump, Cohen was described about a million times as a “fixer.” Democrats, on the other hand, have lawyers.

To prevent the release of embarrassing information, Democrats’ lawyers negotiate NDA’s — nondisclosure agreements. Republican fixers’ NDAs are “hush money,” or “bribes.”

Hillary Clinton paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrat operatives who then bought or made up false Russian dirt on Trump — that was opposition research. Republicans, on the other hand, “collude!”

Republicans lie, Democrats misspeak.

Mr. Carr addressing this country’s most devastating problem. The mainstream media has become the actively fighting enemy of the people. Either they turn it around and start to behave fairly or we will have to turn it around for them.

Howie...fear not. The vast majority of the American people have the goods on the Democrat Media, etc. Not one sane American believes any polls, etc. The Democrats and their nutcase friends in the Media are doing a repeat of the 2016 POTUS election, only this time it will be a worse defeat for them, more then they ever imagined could ever happen.

Trump will win his base big time, but...this time he will add millions of African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans to his massive winning numbers. Please...Howie...let the Democrat Party, low life, scum & vermin humanity hang themselves with both their false action and words. I took one good look at the folks attending the “Bernie Sanders” rally in Brooklyn, New York City yesterday and immediately realized this game is already over for the Democrat Party.

I was right on the money in 2016 and I am right on, right now...Democrats will go down in flames defeat, with a massive POTUS, Trump victory in 2020!!!

I would also suggest to the 23-25 “Blue Dog Moderate Democrats” that they all switch political parties from Democrat to Republican like right now....otherwise, they will all be “One Term” congress critters. Wake up....Blue Dogs or you will be toast!!!

—I like your scenario but the one I fear is that the “centrist” Republicants and the more sane Demotraitors , backed by the establishment, will blend together in the Senate and in future elections and we will end up with some situation not unlike Mexico had for decades-—one big dominating uniparty , nearly completely corrupt— (somewhat like we have had for some years)

The Political Suicide Hotline: Ringing Nonstop

It is a mystery to me why so many politicians and pundits are suddenly committing career and party suicide. I suppose it’s because there has been a failure to recognize that they’ve been living in and promoting a fantasy world. In the meantime, the president has called their bluff, exposed the cant, and forced them into chaos and ruinous policies.

The failure of the Weekly Standard and the decline of the National Review have exposed the not-conservative Trump haters as unpragmatic, unrealistic snobs. They are now shaking the begging cup to keep from having to earn an honest living. In the face of the president’s rising popularity among voters and the economic and diplomatic successes of this administration, they continue to believe that on the right there are readers and donors who will keep them at it...

Fat chance. The man they detest is carrying out policies they so often claimed to support, and the voters — most of whom they look down on — approve...

The voters hold these views, despite the media’s nonstop lying. Voters are just not as stupid as the media thinks we are.

For the media it’s not really about politics, but about a self serving vision of themselves. There is no higher cause than themselves, not country, not loyalty to family and friends or to any religion. In the land of Rights there is no sense of duty (except to oneself). So as long as the pay checks keep coming and they are employed, expect more of the same. Cut off their pay check and they will go to the highest bidder, even employed by Conservatives.

Now you need two AP stylebooks,

Democrats "uncover" Republican misdeeds, while Republicans "pounce" on Democratic missteps.

And all of the red states giving their electoral votes to the popular vote winner will see their votes go to DJT.
The irony (and popcorn) will be delicious!

Republicans are depicted as hillbilly mouth breathers, and the demwits are depicted as sophisticated and enlightened.

Hey Grampa Dave,

Did you see that viper, Rich Lowry, owner of the National Review handling a panel at the CPAC conference.

Why are they letting that snake get anywhere near? He has run Bill Buckley’s magazine into the ground.
