Why don't liberals hold the media to the same standard as they do President Trump?

[GhostOfMatchesMalone]

President Trump can claim this is the best economy in the history of the US, and all it takes is some rando on Twitter claiming it's a lie, and they think President Trump lied.

But the media lies every day about President Trump, and they never say a word. Actual lies. Sharyl Attkisson is even cataloging the list: https://sharylattkisson.com/2019/01/50-media-mistakes-in-the-trump-era-the-definitive-list/

Hell look at yesterday, @urtren and @BSC911 mentioned President Trump's tax returns and how they knew there was something on them. When I told them that the President has his taxes audited by the IRS every year, they had no idea.

Why? Because the media won't tell them that, because it destroys their narrative that Trump is hiding something.

But notice when they both learned that the media was lying to them about that....neither of them say anything about the media. They both went back to attacking President Trump, hell @BSC911 was so upset he put me back on fake ignore LMAO!

This is why sheep stay sheep. Even when they learn that the people they trust are intentionally lying to them, they don't care. Just give me another serving of the story I want to hear, and I will love you forever...

Thanks to social media, its now VERY easy to point out the lies and omissions. Its a huge reason why trust in the media is at an all-time low.

You might also consider who owns the "state media" fake news channels knowing that if you intend to keep working at these channels (aka continue to get a paycheck) the spoken/unspoken rules you must follow to keep your job.
That would be my guess.

Trump, et al gets it. This is not hard. This is not quantum mechanics. This is not the second law of Thermodynamics. Most of us here fully understand. One of us simply doesn't get it. Why am I not the least bit surprised?

Agent Orange, can you lend a hand?

Also, a lot of the 'star' 'journalists' in MSM came from government. They go from corrupt administrations straight to networks where they can continue to push out propaganda.

First of all, MAGATs are not snowflakes...that domain (snowflakes) belongs to liberals.

Next...there are always failures that can be attributed to any President, in hindsight...but to Trump's credit...here's what he has not done (that Oh-bomba) has done.

Take GWBush's two wars and extend them to six or seven wars.
Trump has not presided over any failed states (think Libya) like BHO and HRC did...I'm sure the good folks of Libya were suitably impressed...a thinking person could easily understand why many of those folks (Libyan) would opt for any chance to head north to any part of the E.U.
Nor to my knowledge has Trump sent pallets of ca$h to any country, Iran included, in the middle of the night.
Nor has Trump covered for his party (as BHO) did with respect to Comey, HRC, Russian collusion (fake news, of course).
Nor has Trump allowed the likes of Lois Lerner and the IRS to target liberal groups, voters, or anyone else (to my knowledge) causing problems and distress for those people.
Nor has Trump come up with something as idiotic as TPP for this country to have to endure...as his predecessor did.
Trump is not a globalist hack as his predecessor was.
And certainly, Trump never claimed the "call to prayer" was the most beautiful sound he's ever known.

Trump, for the most part, reminds me of someone doing a job interview, wanting the best candidate, most highly qualified for the job and has extended that thought process as to whom (or what) should be allowed into this country...interesting how so many democrats and republicans are pro H1-B visas saying "we need the best and the brightest here in the USA" but want to allow about anyone/anything to cross the borders illegally...and IF it's true "we should let the brightest and best come here (by visas)"...then why are we not educating our youngest that are already here to "be the brightest and best?"...which is, of course, is a failure of the US education system.
And Trump, in my estimation, realizes that with untold "guests" crossing our borders that those "guests" are set to take away many benefit$ that Trump rightfully believes that belong to the American citizens.
And I do not believe Trump believes in the racist "people of color" mantra of the Left.
As far as palling around with dictators...Oh-bomba surely did the same with all those G-7, G-20 meetings he flew off to visit...but you never see DJT stand off to the side of photo-ops as Oh-bomba did, do you?
Trump is well versed in whether dealing with someone deemed a dictator or otherwise, "keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer."
And so many whine about Trump's taxes...where were the same ones to whine when practically everything about BHO was hidden/obscured?
Can you sniff the B.S.?...smells, doesn't it?

And finally, you will remember that Oh-bomba did make medical history...he was the first recorded President to walk upright without a spine.

Trump has a strong spine...and it shows everyday.

Can I get a high-5 from 'ya?

Forgot to mention...has anyone noticed how great Oh-bomba was...and how with the exception of Joe Biden...almost all of the democratic party wannabees are running away from Oh-bomba and his legacy about as fast as they can?

"I miss when the president wasn’t implicated in sex trafficking, palling around with dictators, pussy-grabbing, flashing white nationalist signs..."

Since @urtren was disposed to enter this tweet (from someone else)...I though I would reply to the "pussy-grabbing" item from the above tweet...or was it twit?...Lawd.

I never understood any of the outrage this "grabbing them by the pussy" generated...and I remember seeing Ana Navarro with her outrage...these snowflakes, well, are simply sad...so, ole Agent Orange will give some perspective on all this pussy grabbing, as he sees the matter.

If everyone's sexual fantasies were made public, I'd believe there would be much embarrassment for lots of folks...but where this faux outrage (about pussy grabbing) is concerned...let us take a look what what wasn't said...and these claims of sexism are so one-sided, shall we?

While most men want to grab boobs, pussy, and ass...we wonder...what do women want to grab from men?...women want to grab a man's wallet, his checkbook, any credit cards he has, use him to "get her dream house", wipe him out if there's a divorce (financially), child support, access to his social security, and she can have an abortion (if she chooses) without his permission and there ain't squat he can do about it.

So essentially, most everyone is a "grabber"...they're just not grabbing the same things at the same time...and how often do you hear women saying they'll be glad to marry a guy who makes less/considerably less than she makes?...about as often as we have a Blue Moon?????????????

Not to mention that women have all these reproductive rights...but seeing as we guys are half the equation...just where are our reproductive rights?

I conclude by saying this "grabbing them by the pussy" was a successful ploy from the Left...sometimes I wish the Right would fight back more and further expose what many women are "grabbing" these days...and revealing their sexist proclivities.

Very well thought out and well written, Agent Orange. A particularly thoughtful touch was using small words. Here's hoping you can get through.

 

[urtren]

Yeah there Agent, sexual assault is nothing to worry with! Spoken like a true MAGAt. Go on and try that in a bar, please.

And you conveniently leave out the most charming parts of that exchange

Every time i hear the "liberal media" it simply makes me laugh because you can add up the audiences of MSNBC and CNN and it still doesn't equal Fox News who is, by far, the biggest media outlet in this country. And while you are at it - why don't you question fox news not only refusing to question anything Trump did - but Hannity literally spoke at Trump rallies openly. But nope - you are silent on that. As for me, i dont watch any of em cause they're all FOS to a certain degree or another cause they're not just reporting the news, they're spinning it to get viewers for higher salaries and AD money. I can find the news in 100 other places. Give me Walter Kronkite back please

I’m not a fan of Hannity at all but he openly gives his opinion and does not proclaim to be an independent journalist like Don Lemon, Anderson Cooper, etc. Every time I hear someone criticize Fox News and use their opinionists to equate to another networks journalists I laugh because that person does not know what they’re talking about.

ok, then his viewers need to stop acting like he's reporting the news cause he not at all - you hear about the lawsuit recently against Tucker Carlson for slander? The lawyer for Fox news literally said " nobody takes him seriously anyway so it doesnt matter". The problem is, millions of people DO take him seriously. But again, i dont trust any of them cause its too much money involved in decisions of what and how to report. Like i said, give me Kronkite or Murrow please

And Lemon and Cooper and Maddow have obviously shown a serious bias against Trump and whether i agree with some of the points they made, its irrelevant cause its not just simply reporting the story and letting the audience decide for themselves how they see it

 

[fsumc]

Then complain about viewers being stupid not making Hannity out to be something he’s never claimed to be unlike the other networks. Maybe that’s where the confusion lays. The other networks trot out their version of journalists that act like the opposite version of the Hannity and Carlson opinionists. Your gripe should be leveled at the other networks for causing that confusion.

You should go back and edit your original complaint because you seemed to focus on Hannity being on stage at a Trump rally as a journalist and not anything you just said above. I’ll help you out and delete my responses so you can be more clear and there won’t be any confusion.

I see why you say that, but what i was saying was the people complaining about the liberal media being so biased don't include FOX NEWS in that - yet Hannity is clearly biased and Fox news has the largest viewership by far. So my intent was always to focus on the people who actually listen to any of these so called "journalists". But i see where the confusion was - discussing this and working at the sametime - destined for screw ups lol

The poster that claims to be an 'independent' goes on an emotional tirade wanting people to leave CNN and MSNBC alone and start jumping on Fox.

Because...that's the very reaction an 'independent' would have.

And then claims the 2000 election was stolen without anything to back it up and runs the minute it’s challenged. Kind of a pattern from the Gold Members around here.

I'm guessing that the PAYING members on Swamp Talk have bitched enough about the 'independent' voters posting their crap on that board that the mods have said something to them, and that's why they are running here to continue being 'independents'.

Good grief...FOX is the number one rated opinion source. They will continue with the protocol because that's what the public wants. All of the other major networks are floundering with their narratives, so, which one is most effective? It certainly isn't left-wing ideology.

Plus, the big difference is that Hannity freely admits he is a cheerleader for Trump and the right. He makes no bones about it.

And.....the biggie.....he's never been caught lying about stories.

CNN not only presents itself as 'independent', but it has also been caught lying endless times in its reporting.

So the only people that watch CNN are the people like the dems on this board, who are ok with being lied to, as long as they are told the lies they want to hear.

And why is that? Is it because they paid airports and the like to broadcast their propaganda? No wait, that was CNN. And their viewership sucked so bad they will no longer be doing that.

CNN grounds Airport Network after 30 years, citing pandemic and streaming

COVID-19 and the ubiquity of personal devices that stream live video led to the decision to end the service after 30 years.
