Media needs to get right with the people. Presidential pressers must not be filtered

Look out for wolves in sheep’s clothing amongst our media during this coronavirus pandemic.

They are ready and willing to shut off the public’s access to news and information in the name of journalism. They do it, they tell you, because unfettered access to the president’s words is dangerous in this crucial moment.

So they’re looking to shield your feeble but impressionable mind from the president’s coronavirus press conferences.

As the Daily Beast news site reported, staffers and managers at MSNBC and CNN “will be ready to cut away from the briefings” when the informational portions “give way to unsupported presidential speculation and outright falsehoods.”

And another thing. The media has been mischaracterizing the president’s statements throughout this pandemic, precisely when we need them to be accurate.

Asked if he would prescribe hydroxychloroquine if he were treating a patient, Dr Anthony Fauci said “Yes of course. Particularly if they have no other option. These are approved drugs for other reasons,” and physicians “can provide it in an off-label way.”

Are we hearing that from Cohen, Kennedy and the rest?

No.

Maybe we should monitor, verify, vet and fact-check their work before it’s sent out into the world. After all, we have to put the public first.

When this is over someone needs to ask the dummy’s why MSNBC and CNN didn’t want them to have access to life savings drugs.

<>"...egg-headed media elites editing his words "<>

Were that the issue it would be less concerning.

The fact of the matter is they are puppets for the cabal of Corporate Overlords that rule our lives!

Have you heard anything about the Ukrainian Scandal, the Biden, Pelosi, Kerry and Romney family graft or Spygate in a while?

No - all conveniently forgotten.

Yep.

Enemedia - Propagandist, globalist, leftist.

They are domestic enemies, enemies of America. And they work in unison with teachers & professors, Hollywood, unions, SJW groups, Soros, socialists & communists.

Just like they cut away a few years ago when it was said, “you will save $2,500 per year and you can keep your doctor.”

Media “get it right with the people”?

The media is not about that these past many decades, at all. It is not their goal or doctrine.

Our media and press is 90% about advocacy, advocacy of left wing ideals. Propaganda and indoctrination (and outright lying, directly and by omission) are what they do for that goal.

They were infiltrated by cultural Marxists beginning around the 1950’s. Search about “The Frankfurt School”.

How do they suggest this could actually happen...

First they have to take them down a notch or two... take their crowns away and give them a maga hat to wear...

they all think they are the high point of intelligence and privilege.. they could not stoop to equality with citizens.

The lies they repeat are worse every week... unbelievably so... alinsky would be proud of them all.

Maybe if the media stopped asking such idiotic questions designed only to get Trump to speculate or contradict himself then there would be valuable information start to finish?

There are no wolves, nor sheep. The media is a pack of rabid weasels. The only thing keeping the mockingbird media from going full blackout is the weasels have inflated egos. They think that, well we didn't get him last time with our gotcha questions, but this time....

I'm just surprised that Twitter hasn't yet blocked President Trump the way the censor every other Conservative.

Sadly, getting Right is not an attractive direction for the Left media because they lack experience.

I like to listen to the conferences on the radio. The cable stations just shred the conferences so why watch any of their evening programs.

They should have to announce at the begining of every show.
The following program is for entertainment purposes only.
It is not based on facts only our opinions and shouldn’t be used for making any serious decisions.
