Prosperity is contagious.... as more Americans better their situation and see more opportunity and cause for optimism for their children the propaganda of the left loses its effectiveness and appears more shrill.

Nope. They will just do what they always do with good news...ignore it.

If the msm did their jobs, Trump would be at 65% approval across the board.

The media honestly think of themselves as world changing activists, not news reporters. I watched this loser Scott Pelley on CBS this morning pontificating how his world view changed when he read this book about the meaning of your life. He said in order to have meaning journalists need to shape the news, not report the facts, that's how they can say their lives had "meaning". It's not good enough to let people decide, they need to decide for the people - these folks are actually stupid people that don't understand that they are supposed to report and let us decide, not the other way around.

Reporters report the news.

Journalists are nothing but little 12 year olds who journal their fantasies in their diaries.
