Media trumpeting Trump implosion, but is it real?
Fox News ^ | August 4th, 2016 | By Howard Kurtz

Posted on 08/04/2016 10:05:21 AM PDT by Mariner

This is what a full-fledged feeding frenzy looks like.

With Donald Trump facing the roughest stretch of his candidacy, the media have moved from questioning his sanity to depicting a campaign in disarray and top Republicans still wondering whether they can dump the nominee.

That won’t happen, of course, but it’s an indication of the toxic nature of the coverage and the flood of anti-Trump leaks now washing across the media landscape.

There’s a natural piling-on effect when campaigns go off the rails: The polls dip, the critics step up their rhetoric, staffers start pointing fingers, and the press keeps the vicious cycle going.

But I’ve never seen anything like this.

Things reached the point yesterday morning that CNBC’s John Harwood tweeted: “Longtime ally of Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager: 'Manafort not challenging Trump anymore. Mailing it in. Staff suicidal.'"

Kurtz confirms it has been a complete and total media fabrication all along.

We need to see more emails between media, DNC and Clinton campaign. They should be enlightening.

This US media is POWERFUL.

No weapon formed against Donald J. Trump will prosper! Why would that be true?

FReepers: POST the advertisers.

The King FEARED that the colonists would BOYCOTT.

NO ONE HAS DONE IT except when they criticized
Mr. Trump and they stopped.
NOW the MSM have attacked all of us.

POST THE ADVERTISERS.

BOYCOTT THOSE WHO PAY THE MSM TO LIE WITH TREASON

They are in ALL IN mode after finally realizing how dismal Hillary's actual chance of winning is. Even cheating won't be enough. LOL.

Keep talking media. Nobody believes you and those that would probably aren't really paying attention anyway...

Interesting to see Kurtz, who was a solid lib, and came over from WaPo/CNN, essentially evolve into a Trump advocate.

Every time I see him on TV he’s defending Trump. One of the few on FOX.

Sorry to be a downer but I’m afraid these bad polls are the real deal.

They’re coming from too many sources and jurisdictions.

I KNOW she’s a shitty candidate but I’m convinced most people do, too.

And you know what? THEY DON’T CARE.

The only thing that matters to most people is feeling comfortable and getting their continued supply of free shit.

What WE need to do is stop listening to them, stop click baiting on sites and run them into the ground...that’s how it done...stop cable, save money....don’t click on links to online media, they don’t get a rating, they don’t make money....

Look at Target, their stock is going into the gutter, and Amazon is getting there also, Barnes and Noble are raising...look at your stock reports, unless of course they are in one of the MSM or online posts...

Hit them in the wallet, it works every time....

This reality was predicted by Sundance, and now it is happening re false stories posing as news and wet dreams posing as polls.

Another Transparent Media Polling Prediction Comes To Pass…
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 8/3/2016 | Sundance
Posted on 8/3/2016, 8:40:26 PM by GilGil

Let’s first discuss the obvious. How can CTH predict, weeks in advance, what Fox News Polling will present to their audience? Common sense would tell you it should be impossible to predict weeks and months in advance. After all, polls should be entirely random, based on current events.

If media polling was truly scientific, and not manipulated by the corporate media entities producing them, we couldn’t accurately predict. But they’re not, and we can.

Actually, the entire reason we deliver these predictions to you is because there’s no other good or reasonable way to show people they are being “gaslighted” by professional MSM deceivers.

We should make buzzword bingo games or telephone game memes to see what they do with a story. It can be a scavenger hunt.

As Rush Limbaugh talked about at the start of his show today, the Trump “Implosion” narrative was scripted by the liberal media, the Hillary Campaign and the inside the beltway crowd months ago to kick off the day the democrat convention ended and to coincide with a anticipated Hillary bump. The Kahn debacle was just the fuse they used to set it off, it wasn’t for that they would have made up something else. It’s actually amazing with the entire establishment firing with both barrels against Trump 24/7 since the end of the democrat convention, that he isn’t down by 20 points. They hope to take Trump out now because they longer their attacks go on the more people will ignore or start to question them and look more closely at Hillary’s record.

I wish John Harwood were suicidal. His reports on Trump are so biased and lugubrious that you can almost see him picking up his White House check after each report.
