I was at the Cleveland arena Thursday night where this history was made, and I was particularly revolted by Friday morning’s spin from two of the biggest Horseman of the Trump Apocalypse. The New York Times castigated the speech as “dark” and “angry” while the Washington Post labeled it “a dire portrait of a lawless, terrorized nation.”
In truth, there is a profound disconnect between Trump and much of the mainstream media—even as a solid majority of the electorate enthusiastically embrace Trump’s message. For example, when Trump calls for a ban on Muslim immigration, journalists quickly get their laptops in a twist.
Trump correctly sees, however, an American government ill-equipped to properly vet a flood of Muslim refugees. Ergo, a temporary ban on Muslim immigration from well-targeted countries coupled with “extreme vetting” constitutes a rational risk-management tool in a post-9/11, ISIS world where beheadings, bombings and random mass shootings are now commonplace.
A similar disconnect exists with a candidate who openly proclaims his love for waterboarding. Far too many journalists roll out the one-dimensional “torture doesn’t work” critique rather than understand the more complex use of waterboarding and other enhanced interrogation techniques as a necessary and often effective method to extract information from people who want to place nuclear bombs in our cities and poison gas in our subways.

—> TRUMP IS **SUCH** AN ALARMIST..!!! <—
Their description,.....it sounds pretty racist.
all Republican challenger speeches are dark. All democrat challenger speeches are riviting. Those are the rules.
Those are good words! Mr. Trump is great with coming up with nicknames for people. He might like this. We’ll teach the left & their media hounds that it was a poor decision to call our convention “dark.”
Counter punch!!!!!
Dana milbank phrased dark by saying it was no morning for America.
Yup talking points using different words
The Media as Obama is the enemy of America
If you want darkness and anger, look no further than the paranoia and rage that Hitlery is famous for....
The media is searching for a way to attack Trump that actually works.
They are just throwing different stuff against the wall to see if they can get something to stick.
The MSM is characterizing it in this manner in order to suppress enthusiasm for Mr. Trump. They are, in fact, doing whatever they can to get Clinton elected.
It does not behoove us to pretend that these people are “stupid” or “out of touch”. The reality is, they are the enemy, and we need to quit scoffing at their rhetoric and dismissing it.
Stop letting them set the narrative.
The MSM is out of touch with The People and reality. They'vd been controlled by their overlords too long to be objective anymore.
Dude I really like you. Hope I get to meet you someday.
The demons of tyranny are mortally threatened. They know their time is short. They have declared war on the people who love freedom. Their convention next week will be filled with their war cries. They will seek to bring darkness and despair to this land. They will create dark clouds of anger and hatred. They will terrorize the nation.
We must be champions of light. We must speak truth to their lies. We cannot be dismayed but joyous about the new life that is ours if we demand it.
Stand strong and be filled with faith in the righteous God we serve. We must not, we can not lose this war for our souls.
It could happen...lol. Just no pics of me on the 'net...lol
They’re more than out of touch. The fifth-column leftist media are traitors, giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
Oh - “Dark” - global warming is going to kill us all, the rich get more rich every day and the poor get poorer, homophobes want to stop gays from loving whomever they want and being able to earn a living - oh - “Angry” - What do we want/Dead Cops/When Do we want ‘em/Now, climate deniers should be locked up in jail, people who question gay marriage should lose their jobs....
It’s mostly the DNC ... http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-23/leaked-dnc-emails-confirm-democrats-rigged-primary-reveal-extensive-media-collusion
