Everyday I read the local newspaper and on the weekends the Sacramento Bee. I watch numerous TV News shows, local and national and cable. I am a news junkie I guess. One thing I have tried to be most of my life is fair. But there is no fairness in the mass media of our country. The reporters and pundits (with a few exceptions) are trained and indoctrinated in "liberal" colleges by liberal professors. They are inculcated with the mantra, left/democrats are good, right/conservatives/republicans are bad. And all my life I have had to read listen to that mantra.
With the election of Trump and the capture of Congress by the Republicans we get a daily dose of this liberal mass hysteria. All negative. If Trump presented puppies to disabled children he would be accused of failing to supply the money for their upkeep. It is almost hilarious if it wasn't so sad. And to make it worse, the media is now pushing what we all have come to know as "fake news". Long ago I learned the hard way about how to read articles in the newspapers. Anything reported was always slanted. The democrats would get above the fold on the front page with the Republicans responses on the back and the last paragraph. That would go for anything considered "good" for a Republican. Enhance the left and diminish the right.
Last Sunday's SacBee had almost ten articles of negativity on Trump. They are obsessed. Today in the local paper the article on Trump's alleged disclosure of "classified" information to the Russian Ambassador in the Oval office has consumed the media. GUILTY they say. Even thought the other Americans in the room say it never happened. So they beat up Trump and make terrible accusations against him. And what about the term "alleged"? The media always use it for criminals caught red-handed for murder and mayhem. Yet they don't use it for these outrageous accusations they create for Trump. Why is that?
For over ten years we all got to read and see the media slobbering love all over Obama. Worse than a dog licking your face, the media was so in the tank for him I figured he must be paying them off. Nothing Obama did or lied about that was negative was reported more than once or twice. They protected him at all costs. And then this last election we all got to read the collusion between the media and Hillary Clinton. The media even allowed her access to questions before debates. And we saw Obama hire many of the lamestream reporters for his administration. All colluding to push fake news and their agenda of liberalism on the people.
Yet other than the coastal states and a couple more, the American people said no to them and their favoritism for the left. Americans voted for Trump and the Congress to be Republican. But this only inflamed the media and they doubled down on their hatred. Is it any wonder Trump hates them? And we Americans who believe in fairness hate them as well. All we ask is fairness yet the press can't even do that simple thing. Worse though is the media's opinion of us. We are all "rubes" who don't know what we are doing. No matter the press members could not hold a hammer or know which end of a shovel to use. Or have they ever really had a job? Yet they all have this bias and show it against the very citizens of America that make the country work.
The press is enhancing their differences with the rest of us and we are rejecting them. Social media has supplanted them and it is getting worse for them everyday. Most of the newspapers are going the way of the dodo bird. The SacBee is thinner than my little local paper. But rather than understand they are making half the potential readers mad with their liberal bias, they double down and ensure their own demise. Where will the reporters go when the papers close?
The bias is also clear to all of us regarding how the media treats the dictatorship we have here in California. Compare how they write articles about the one party of this state and you will see they treat the democrats with kid gloves. California is a mess and the corruption is rampant and owned by the left. Yet not much said or investigated by the lazy reporters. I suggest you study the SacBee articles for just one week and see if you agree.
So half of America is just shortchanged by the press as all they want to do is Trump bashing and Republican bashing. Americans are getting up to go to work, raise their kids and hope for a better life. So why not report on those kind of things? Good news is everywhere across the land. Most of the people do the right things but listening to the media you would think otherwise. Why not interview those of us with good things to say rather than the critics of everything? If you think you will sell more papers with the negative then you must admit it is not working. And we American of goodwill are sick of you liberals running the place into the ground.

I'm not at all, why are you?
DeleteOMG! You cannot remember when hiring illegal maids, using a teleprompter, committing illegal acts was so shocking to the Far Out Right? Now that your fat boy is in office its all groovy?
DeleteWell covered Todd
ReplyDeleteThis is so much BS and self congratulation. No mention of birther BS... Hillary server secrets BS...and the constant accusations by your ilk against anything liberal. Trump is so much more ignorant and untruthful than any otherpresident. Every day the news you hate to listen to and have to squirrel away in your mind as fake news so you can sleep proves how much of a bad decision it was to vote for the fat man in the oval office.

Not much to like as a conservative. He liked to schmooze with the democrats. I consider him a RINO.

ReplyDeletejust try to be objective. take a step back and revisit the happenings of trump. is it your evil mass media that has him doing the tweets/accusations/'i am the most picked on person forever' garbage he puts out. his upcoming (one can only hope) impeachment is perhaps the only act that will save the world from his temper tantrum nuke reactions. todd, please try to be, again, objective.
Trump is doing fine. The media is driving thir own narrative of fake news.

ReplyDeleteNo take a look at the Shorensteing report from Harvard and you will see I am correct.
DeleteWas there EVER a president that other countries had to "dumb down" their presentations in order to hold his attention? Four minutes or less - use pictures and his name or he won't pay attention. It's like trump is a five year old that needs to be kept busy. THIS is what you consider "presidential?"
ReplyDeleteReally, Todd?
You are describing Obama. Good call.
DeleteA "president" that needs a constant bag of Cheerios, goldfish crackers, a sippy cup and a coloring book to keep him busy during meetings.
ReplyDeleteAnd YOU VOTED FOR THAT.
Sad.
Never voted for Obama. But you did.
DeleteYes I did vote for President Trump, I did not vote for President Obama in 2008 or 2012 and I did not agree with President Obama but i sucked it up, was respectful to him.
DeleteYou jerk with your cheerios, dribble cup coloring book comments show you a liberal and have no respect for president Trump but I respected President Obama so that's the difference between me and you.

Right on, Todd, my blue Trump had says in the liner made in USA.
DeleteI wish to inform these liberals as to give them the opportunity to rip my "Made in USA" Trump off my head at the Nevada county fair.
I would caution you not to do it but doing it may be the worst choice in your lifetime.
It seems likely that our gun toting friends will be packing while they show off their patriotism by hat and shirts.
DeleteThey'll be packing, huh? So what?

DeleteWho is the middle schooler?
He did not say he was packing. So again you libs just make it up. Sad.
DeleteThere is no such thing as a MAGA hat made in the USA.
DeleteAnd yes, the person above DID say he would be "packing."

Another dumbass eh? He made a observation not a statement.
DeleteLearn to read and comprehend.
Of course you are satisfied with trump. He's a clueless liar, just like you.
ReplyDeleteNo he is brilliant just like me. You on the other hand can't even gather the guts to place your real name here. So go away.
DeleteYes President Trump is brilliant (Take note that I am a respectful American) and I refer to President Obama and President Trump, something the uneducated liberals fail to do.I have class and liberals are ill bred morons lacking social or redeeming human values.
DeleteSo Sad...
ReplyDeleteTodd, what you write is interesting and should encourage readers to think and pay attention. Sorry to read such dumb responses that are totally uninteresting and merely to distract...like kids in grammar school do poking fun. BMW
ReplyDeleteThanks BMX. I agree the responses from the others are truly infantile. Must be middle school kids.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an asinine comment and yours is not? Juve only spews one sided rants about fake liberal news but oddly nothing to say about bs lies called alternative facts by his boy crushes at the white hous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for proving my point. Are you 12?
DeleteThe most hated former journalist FUE has another typo in his pathetic story on newspaper awards. Must have been caused by not being a journalist anymore. "The Union received three first place award for its category"
ReplyDeleteShouldn't that be three first place awards, as in plural? ROFLOL
I make my share of mistakes so I am not hard on others as they are on me. LOL!
DeleteIt is poetic justice that the hippo in berkenstocks screws it up on a stupid, slanted rant at the union who had the good sense to fire his waddleness.
DeleteThe most hated unemployed journalist FUE is all about the brag. He is bragging on his FB about his POS sail boat and trumpeting the Chronicle getting an award to suck off their fame. Getting coffee for the real workers does not count oh corpulent one. Chili cheese frys STAT! ROFLOL
ReplyDeleteFired from the Union. Contract with County not renewed. Bitter. Don't worry folks. Nobody is reading his diatribes anymore. Just go the the lake and have a good summer. 😂
ReplyDeleteSpot on!
DeleteLooks like the FUE has his panties in a wad about you again. LOL!
DeleteFrom the ex-Union employee who can't spell. Lol. I'll just enjoy my beer and tarragon chicken.
DeleteGood, he really let's you get under his skin.
DeleteShowing that he is truly the FUE he fails to post Mr. Pruett's whole comment. PODUNK. No velveta chili fries for the blob that ate Nevada city tonight. 9ish, so that must be 5 or 6 servings before bed he will miss tonight.
DeleteI thought the FUE was a connoisseur of fine food. Chili, Velveeta cheese, Hormel, in cans? Who would eat that garbage?
DeleteHe needs to practice some discipline about food or he will push the envelope of the human body.
DeleteCongrats dragons breath, you shamed the most hated person in Nevada county the FUE into fixing his typo. The orb of pus still has the nerve to nit pick a chamber publication, its a wonder that the FUE didn't claim a scoop or news flash. ROFLOL
ReplyDeleteorb of pus, Juve welcomes all 12 year olds. Maybe come back when you are a little older.

DeleteJoe Scarborough called it......
DeleteYeah....like I'm going to pay any attention to a guy stupid enough to marry Mika Brezinski!
Todd?
ReplyDeleteSo you are going on record saying that it is perfectly fine for a politician to assault a member of the media? I thought violence was not what you were about - I guess you lied. Again. Sad. A disaster.
No, the reporter attacked him and he was in self protection mode.
DeleteThere were witnesses. Reporter did not attack. The attacker was charged with a misdemeanor. You are peddling FAKE NEWS.
DeleteHe said she said. He will win anyway. Montana is a tough state full of people who hate the media and the feds. If he loses then that is a horse of a different color. Acuna is walking back hr remembrance of the "attack"
DeleteJuve lives in alternative fact reality. Fox news reporters witnessed the assult by jackass. Sorry but your excuses dont hold water.
ReplyDeleteSo now you believe FOX eh? You hypocrites crack me up/.
DeleteAfter being in the middle of a riot in Berkeley and then reading the news the next day, I simply don't have any faith in any media to get it correct. And when you libs burn and pillage it gets one minute on the AlphaBet networks while this dumbass Montana fellow gets days for taking care of business. Simply not believable to the extent you want to take i.
DeleteNot much but I know Trumpers like you only believe Fox. Who is the hypocrite?
ReplyDeleteYou are the hypocrite. Always bashing FOX and now because they have a story you agree with they are the cat's meow. As for me I listen and watch and read all sides. You just like MSNBC.
DeleteYou had your fingers in your ears when they played the audio evidence or you would not be trying to deny jackass did anything bizarre. He is a Trumper so he must be AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the people of Montana will elect him. He is probably a hero to them for body slamming the punk. I don't agree with what he did but I certainly understand it. And yes, Trump is doing just fine. The democrats and liberals, not so good.
DeleteOH YA! Total win as expected with a lot of if you get in my personal space you gonna have to get out and I mean now. Make the snowflake BLM wanna bes learn there are consequences. Come on invade our space if you think you can!
DeleteHe won so go pout. Many people think he was wrong to bodyslam the metrosexual wuss ass reporter, and I do too. But we understand why.
Delete"On May 22, 1856, in the United States Senate, Representative Preston Brooks (D-SC) attacked Senator Charles Sumner (R-MA), an abolitionist, with a walking cane in retaliation for a speech given by Sumner two days earlier in which he fiercely attacked slaveholders including a relative of Brooks. The beating nearly killed Sumner and it drew a sharply polarized response from the American public on the subject of the expansion of slavery in the United States. It has been considered symbolic of the 'breakdown of reasoned discourse' that eventually led to the American Civil War." From Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteThis breakdown in civil discourse is not the first time in our history, and again like Brooks above it is the democrats who are the cause. I would posit that the breakdown in civil discourse was not caused by Trump, but instead by the leftist out and out violence when they don't get their way. Black Lives Matter. Occupy Wall Street. Riots at Berkeley (and other colleges) when these liberal babies can't stand to even hear opposing views. And the mainstream media. With the media being an extension of the left, eventually stupid stuff like the Montana congressman is going to happen. I am totally not advocating for the Montana congressman; what he did shows complete lack of self control. Let's really point out honestly from where the "breakdown in civil discourse" is coming. The democrats and the media. Trump supporters are simply pushing back which the media and the liberals can't stand.
What fascinates me about the wimpass left is this., They think they can say anything they want to people and there will be no blowback. Now some people have shorter fuses than others and like the Montana Congressman, they turn on the accusers or the pests or the stalkers, in a physical way. But the left, who finds it so easy to destrot with words, don't seem to understand the concept of retaliation. I am opposed to violence but I understand why some are not.
DeleteJust today on the front page of the SACBEE is a WashPo headline "Trump's Son-in-law Kushner target of FBI. Well I read the article and it did not have one thing in it that said that. In fact it said he wasn't! Now if someone lied like that and tried to destroy you and your character, some might get mad enough to find you and kick your ass. Just like Sumner. But as long as these pinheads keep up this lying there will be many acts of retribution by those with way less patience than me or you.
Advocating violence against journalists is not good. I am just saying the lack of civil discourse is emanating form the left.
ReplyDeletehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia
Shit is crazy in Russia. We don't want that here. Crazy bastards. We want free speech. All sides with the ability to contribute. I don't like where this is headed. Slippery slope created by the left.
Berkeley was a eye opener for me. We on the right use our words (just like our parents said to do) while the left uses words then violence as a follow up. We must not let them do this. prosecution of the "bicycle lock attacker" the professor in Berkeley is a good start.
Delete
