Good example from last week or so, when a reporter ask "How many deaths are acceptable?"

Trump saw that they were plotting to print "Trump says 100,000 deaths are acceptable" or similar.

So he answered "No deaths are acceptable. You are a terrible reporter. Next!"

I watched a few. It’s really good.

Can totally see that media is trying to incite drama and bullshit. It’s like media is ran by some rich asshole who just wants to make shit up. Really annoying.

Jim Acosta and a couple female reporters are the worst.
Acosta only asks loaded questions.

That one Kung Flu bitch...well I’ll keep what she deserves to myself.

And this one, Cecilia Vega, is a straight out cunt:

If we do get into a war, I believe we will see questions like:

Where will the US attack next?
What are the weak point on the US lines?
Which of our allies are hard to trust?
How many soilders will be deployed for our next attack?

I am telling you, if there was any justice in the world, most mainstream media personnel would be dragged out in the streets and tarred and feathered.

In that video I just posted...how the fuck are all those press idiots not even cracking a smile? I’d be pissing in my pants laughing. Wtf is wrong with them? See they aren’t really humans. Not normal ones.

Revolution time I guess.

So I get it that you like the fights with the news media, the braggadocio, posturing and so forth. But what of any importance regarding the pandemic did Trump provide? Truthful information that is.

That ample supplies and tests were provided
That the economy needs to be reopened
That we are closely following the countries ahead of us on this
That he is following the recommendations of dr fauci and birx
That he is suspending us funding if the WHO

Trump rocks.
The dimwits in the press spend hours preparing their “gotcha” questions and he fucks them up while speaking off the cuff.
Ever heard of the smartest guy in your school go on to major in “journalism” or “communications”?
Me neither.

Yeah but couldn't somebody else have gone over that information and the president used that time to do something more important/productive?

No. The is a national disaster/emergency scenario. It’s the Presidents job to do this.

Maybe you’d prefer he run around waving his hands wildly in the air in a fit of hysteria?

Speaking of which, are you Jim Acosta? Your question is just about as stupid as the ones he asks.

President is supposed to LEAD in times of Crisis, not fob off to his Staffers. Mainstream media and Dems are dithering because he's getting too much air time. Biden is so far behind on social media it's scary. Not to mention the fundraising. Trump has $321 million for Bidens $82 million.

Fundraising data Trump vs. Biden direct comparison is VERY hard to find on the web. Anyone have a site?

I agree, my impression is that Trump is doing an excellent job in a very difficult situation. This is a war time president leading a country through a dangerous time with confidence and composure and leadership.

I really think it’s too bad that more of the country doesn’t appreciate his abilities, and the effort he is making. It’s ridiculous that he is accused of being self-serving, or playing politics or uninformed and incompetent. Trump’s not perfect, nobody is, but I think we are very lucky that we happen to have him as a president during this time.

That's a shame because he's been stunningly handing their sorry asses to them since day one.
Every time Frauduci wanted him to lie and say 2 million people would die, and Dr Bitchx wanted him to regurgitate Bill Gates Study of Doom. He would make them come up and say it. And it was painful for the, they knew they were laying their reputaion on the line for nothing. Where as if Trump had said it, on network cable news, the for all of prosperity there would have been a record of Trump working their lies into his grand standing speech. And that's exactly what they wanted him to do. These sorry shits are so fucking predictable they have this cartoon view of how Trump will respond. And he rams it right down their crummy little commie Throats all of the time. It's quite comical to watch actually.

Go back on Youtube and rewatch the ones you've missed. He puts Dr, Bitchx on the spot all the time, and she fumbles with her Gates papers and stutters like Obama telling a racial whopper.

Dr Frauduci as well, he mopes back up to the podium because one of the baited questions deflected back to him.

This is why Trump made everyone endure 2 hour long briefings. They kept going around in circles and Trump kept reaffirming with those two very smart people, that went to his office and shut the whole world down. The invisible Enemy.

:
No President other than Trum could figure out how NOT to surge in approval at a time such a s this. Seriously. How do you fuck this up !?






"B-b-b-but it's the medias fault."

Right, it couldn't be that you managed to find yourself supporting a television reality show star that constantly lies and says stupid shit. (what ? we thought the media wasn't supposed to cover reality. ")

Actually I credit him for being more serious than he was before.

But his trying to get in front of the transition of us going back, just like he did with Hydrochloride is annoying. And it['s his self centeredness working against our best interest. If Hydroxychloroquine was going to be a great treatment, a gentile nudge from the PResident could expedite that. But all he can think of is his fanatasy of being the great leader that saved the day.

Why can't we at least feel like there are experts figuring this out and dealing with it and planning, instead of a President (and his cucks) who can't see past "how can I get credit for a positive turn of events here."

The public sees who he is. Even you cucks deep down get it.

Now the lesson. It’s too bad you choose not to listen. One would think that someone who teaches also would understand the importance of continual learning. The news you choose to follow sucks. They are not truthful. They continue to print lying deceptive opinion pieces that horribly twist the truth. Confine yourself to RCP, maybe USA Today and WSJ if you want fairy middle of the Road reporting sans the political bent. NYT, WaPo, etc, are not insightful. Their reporting is nearly entirely editorialized. They are corrupt and have no regard for truth. Only influencing and changing minds by any means necessary including use of deceit.

logic says

do you think Trump could have crafted a better response without using the personal attack?

@logic No, there is literally nothing Trump can ever say or do that would be treated fairly by the media. Have they not proven that over a period of years now?

FuckTheMainstreamMedia says

That ample supplies and tests were provided

Note: it was asked if any truthful information was provided by Trump

:
It's so unfair when the media focuses on Trumps lies, Trump's self centered idiotic tweets, and all the other stupid or assholish things he says.

Why can't the media make him look good like they did with all the president's that didn't constantly say stupid shit and make asses of themselves ?

It must be politics. It couldn't be Occam's razor. Sometimes something is just so obvious that it must be wrong, Right ?

marcus says

media focuses on

No, it's not like that.

The media does just "focus on" whatever flaw, of which Trump admittedly has a few.

The media does a 24/7 hit job on Trump, giving him less than zero credit for any of his considerable accomplishments as president, and for two reasons:

1. he is messing with the very profitable gutting of the United States (profitable for the same people who own the media)
2. most of the media is infested with blue haired nose-ringed haters, and Trump is exactly the kind of person they hate the most, being white, male, and successful

ThreeBays says

Trump immediately deflects a lot of genuine questions.

Press: Mr President when do you think schools might open again?
Trump: I care a lot about that, I have a young boy at home. We're doing very well getting PPE. Ventilators, you don't hear that being an issue no more. I'm doing so great. NEXT
Press: you didn't answer my question????

Obv he doesn’t know. Like to the point of being so obvious that there’s no need to ask the question. It’s a gotcha like nearly everything else the press asks him these days.

So he answered "No deaths are acceptable. You are a terrible reporter. Next!"

Except the question was directed at Trump stating something like "the cure can't be worse than the disease", so it's a legitimate question, asking the President how he's thinking about this given his statements.

Seems Trumpers have developed a bad allergy to the truth these past 3 years.

Again a gotcha question. No matter what he says on this one he is fucked. It’s not designed for information. It’s designed so a deceitful media can write bullshit editorial ladden hit pieces on President Trump.

This is with a hostile Media that did a 180 degree turn towards the end of March to downplaying the Virus and claiming that it was Xenophobia to worry about it, to WHY DIDNT TRUMP DO SUMPTHIN in a span of a few days.

@ThreeBays

My favorite part of the Presser was when Trump talked about:

* OMG ORANGEMANBAD --- WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH BEDS
* OMG TRUMP DIDNT GET ENOUGH VENTILATORS
* OMG TRUMPLER ISNT TESTING ANYONE! NOT ENOUGH TESTS!
* OMG MORE DEATHS THAN ANY COUNTRY WICKED DRUMPF!

And walked through each one of those bullshit concerns hyped by the Media and how rapidly the Administration solved those problems.

* More than enough Beds - Comfort and US Military at Javits barely utilized
* Ventilators being made in vast numbers - turns out we have more than needed
* We've done about double the testing of any country in the world. I think we're only 80% more than Singapore, for the "Fact Checkers"
* Per capita we have a quarter of the deaths of Spain and Italy

logic says

The last 4 presidents have eclipsed 50% even Obama. Trump hasn't.

Did the last 4 presidents have a 90% Negative Spin and a completely non-existent Honeymoon?

ThreeBays says

He can say what he knows and what he doesn't know.

Again @ThreeBays : It was a bullshit question and you know it. "He can say what he knows"? What does that mean?

Question was similar to this one, demanding a yes or no:

"Do you still kick your mother?"

Even in high school debate we learned that such questions are disgraceful and good cause for being removed from the debate.

Patrick says

1. he is messing with the very profitable gutting of the United States (profitable for the same people who own the media)

Look at whom the Media is married to. Most of the big wigs are married to lobbyists, financiers, and major executives of international corporations, who don't want anything changed from the current system.

As for your second question, the Media's extreme bias began precisely as the Millennials became the dominant reporters/newsreaders at most Major Media. They were raised on Self-Esteem Whole Math bullshit, then given double doses of Intersectional Postmodernism with no education in alternative narrative structures in college, and finally the Journalism/Communications majors among them were given a subset of PoMo called "Accountability Journalism", which absolves Journalists of trying to be impartial - which Pomo views as quaint and false Modernism/Enlightenment era nonsense. Just that they should push the "Truth as they see it". Of course, when 80-90% are Solid Leftists, then the only "Truth as they see it" is a Leftist Perspective.

Sources for Trump's negative spin. Nine Months in office, 2/3 of coverage was negative according to the Columbia School of Journalism, which still has some credibility (given their report on the Rolling Stone's reporting at UVa which they found to a complete failure of traditional journalism standards).

ThreeBays says

So it's OK to advocate a position that trades American's lives and then not answer for it.

You're advocates against freedom of the press and government accountability.

What position is that?

Did Jim Accosta or his predecessor rip Obama constantly on Libya? Did the WH Press Corps in 2015-2016 constantly insist:

"Mr. President, you called ISIS the JV Team. Do you regret those words?"
"Why can't you Admit you were wrong, Mr. President"
"Mr. President, you promised Americans they could keep their doctor. What have you to say when we now know they can't"

Overandoverandoverandoverandoverandover again, and gainsay everything Obama said - the very few times he actually appeared at a presser in lieu of his underlings.

ThreeBays says

You're advocates against freedom of the press and government accountability.

Freedom of the Press != Freedom of the Yellow Press to be free of criticism and well deserved loss of respect

Name me one President who is so often in front of the Press and so communicative.

"The President hurts the Freedom of the Press by not letting our biased journalists filter and spin the story by using social media and actual appearances at pressers and events to push his narrative! Boo Hoo! Give us our powers of filtration and narrative bending back, or you hate FREEDOMZ!"

ThreeBays says

Your example is a loaded question and the one Trump was asked wasn't.

Oh come on, you're saying that "How many deaths are acceptable?" isn't a loaded question? OK, you're not even being serious anymore. Not worth talking to.

Trump had another epic zinger when someone pointed out that the US gave a grant to the Wuhan virology lab which it now seems likely either created or released the virus:

President Trump pushed back on a White House press pool reporter who asked him why the United States would give a grant to China to research diseases.

“REPORTER: "Why would the U.S. Give a grant to China?"
“TRUMP: "When did you hear the grant was made?"
REPORTER: "2015."
TRUMP: "Who is president then, I wonder?"

Jive Ass never gave a Presser, the only thing Obama ever did publicly was give Def Comedy Jams. He would hold townhalls and tell his hooting audience to pull his finger. No questions please.

Remember when Jive Ass was in Flint telling the peasants to drink the water from the tap? " I'm thirsty can someone get me some wattah?" ... "I said I'm thirsty can someone bring me some wattah?" ... "What am I not the President here?"

tap water in a glass comes out to him, he puts it to his lip his throat never moves, the black audience looks on in disgust realizing their Black Great Hope the schwartza messiah, was nothing more than a Jive Ass Mother Fucker!

logic says

Here is a "perfect" example of how a president has a press briefing on a pandemic and has zero questions from the media.

Bullcrap. There were 60M cases of H1N1, originated in Mexico, Obama didn't shut down the border nor even restrict travel/border crossings to essential movement. He didn't declare an emergency until 1000 Americans died, months after WHO declared it a pandemic.

He also refused to store N95 masks as recommended by his experts. Instead, he directed the CDC to worry more about obesity and body image issues (read Trannies) than infectious diseases.
https://pjmedia.com/trending/did-obama-botch-the-response-to-the-h1n1-outbreak-heres-what-media-fact-checks-arent-telling-you/

Did the Media ever take him to task for drinking the still dangerous Flint Winter? Day after Day, asking question after question, insisting he admit he's wrong and never dropping it?

It’s funny the arguments the leftist trolls are attempting on this matter.

We’ve rarely had such incredible access to raw data and information. CV has hit most nations in the world so we have TONS of comparison information. The US MSM has literally invented itself out of existence on this matter by editorializing literally every thing they print. On top of it we have Republican and Democrat governors and mayors saying essentially the same things, and all basically agreeing with President Trump.

Nearly all the lefty posters HAVE to take the msm point of view in order to oppose Orange Man Bad. Instead of being pragmatic and agreeing with the Democrat governors, they’ve chosen to go 100% opposite. And literally every piece of raw data crushes what the msm is trying to shove down the throats of the American people(who see right through it).

I haven’t been on this side of such a landslide objectively winning argument on this site since the run up to President Trumps election. Man the thread that night was amoung May the most epic internet threads of all time.

marcus says

but literally none of the recent major polling agencies have Trump as low as 44% approval except CNN which I assume you took your graph from(despite claiming you don’t follow CNN)

I always look at either real clear or 538, I happened to look at 538 this time after reading that Gallup had it at 43%. Sometimes I choose real clear. You'll never see me quoting just one poll (like some of the idiots around here do, when they get all excited about one outlier.

NoCoupForYou says

Right. Thats why major cities were completely shut down in Mid March.

Sure, there were those three idiot politicians that tried to claim xenophobiat when Trump followed the lead of dozens of other countries shutting down incoming travel from China.

Now somehow those three politicians are the entire media in your revisionist timeline ? . It was Trump that did the sudden 180. Sure he follewed some common sense about flights coming in from China, but he was claiming that it was no problem as long as he could, really until just a day or two before major cities shut down.

He was following, not leading until he had no choice.

logic says

So ... @marcus Will you admit that's your other account now?

no, I don't know what you're talking about, although funny kind of projection, coming from an account that was created a couple days ago, probably by someone I am ignoring.

NoCoupForYou says

HUH?!

Yeah, you're right, for Trump 46% approval is kind of amazing. I stand corrected.But 538 had it at 44%. But still, you're definitely right 46% or 44% either way, amazing for Trump. Especially considering the way the media always focuses so much on the things he says and does. . What was I thinking ?


marcus says

No President other than Trum could figure out how NOT to surge in approval at a time such a s this.

NoCoupForYou says

There were 60M cases of H1N1, originated in Mexico,

Now I am not comparing the two pandemics because the viruses are/were different, but hardly anyone in the general public remembers or barely remembers the N1H1 "pandemic" and that is a good thing because it means they wern't much bothered by it. So you'll get little traction politically with that. Ya think that will be the case with Covid-19?

Now I do remember Ebola, the hysteria on the right, including Trump's and also Obama's response which was quite professional and well executed. People do remember that.

What's truly sad is that the "popular vote" has become less of an indication of what's right for this country. More and more of the American people (and illegal aliens) have become weak and submissive, wanting a nanny state to take care of them because they can't take care of themselves and, of course, vilifying those who can take care of themselves as the "evil rich". So now when I hear the argument about the "popular vote", I immediately discount it and liken it to what middle-schoolers would vote for in a true democracy at school...free pizza, no homework, phones allowed, etc.

Electoral College actually does not do anything to stop people from voting in a nanny state. What the Electoral College does is prevent a very few highly populated areas from selecting the President.
