President Trump is once again showing he is no longer going to put up
with the out-of-control left-wing media bias. And this weekend in
Florida, the president once again took direct aim at these corrupt news
organizations.
“The dishonest media, which has published one false
story after another with no sources, even though they pretend they have
them, they make them up in many cases,” Trump said over the weekend.
“And they've been calling us wrong now for two years. They don't get it,
but they're starting to get it, I can tell you that. They've become a
big part of the problem. They are part of the corrupt system.
Trump’s broadside continued as he labeled the press
an “enemy of the people” and rallied his supporters directly – instead
of allowing his words to be filtered through the abusively biased media.
“We are not going to let the fake news tell us what
to do, how to live or what to believe,” he said to thunderous applause.
“We are free and independent people, and we will make our own choices.”
The alt-left propaganda media responded in a pathetically predictable fashion.
“Trump's attacks on the American press as enemies of
the American people are more treacherous than Richard Nixon's attacks on
the press,” journalist and author Carl Bernstein told CNN. “Nixon's
attacks on the press were largely in private. There's a history of what
‘enemy of the people’ … means as used by dictators and authoritarians,
including Stalin, including Hitler. And I'm not about to say anything
about comparing Hitler and Trump, but it's a demagogue's statement.”
See what he did there? And CNN’s Chris Cuomo had an
ominous warning about the possible consequences of Trump calling out the
media.
“Somebody's going to get hurt,” Cuomo said. “It's
just a question of time, because just like in every other dynamic in
life, if you take somebody's who's got a legitimate reason to be upset
in the first place, and you pump them up and it starts to become a call
to action ... somebody's going to get hurt.”
Finally, ABC’s White House correspondent Jonathan
Karl tried to wrap the abusively biased alt-left propaganda media in the
Constitution.
“As long as American democracy remains healthy, there
will be reporters willing to pursue the truth, even if that means
incurring the wrath of the most powerful person in the world,” Karl
said. “A free press isn't the enemy of America, it's a big part of what
makes America great.”
We’re all for a free press, but how about an honest
one that covers President Trump fairly? Remember how WikiLeaks exposed
the rampant, rampant collusion between the press and the Clinton
campaign? Allowing Democratic Party officials to edit their stories and
giving Hillary Clinton debate questions in advance? They had a literal
stake in the election.
These left-wing news outlets thought they'd be able
to stop Donald Trump from becoming president but now, instead of
admitting they were wrong, they have now doubled down on their attacks
against President Trump.
On election night, as the realization crept in that
Donald Trump would be the next president, it was like a funeral at every
one of these networks. ABC’s Martha Raddatz, who hosted a debate,
actually cried.
According to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, it wasn’t
just Raddatz who was reduced to tears by the results of a free and fair
election.
“America is crying tonight,” he said. “I'm not sure
how much of America, but a very, very significant portion. And I mean
literally crying. I've gotten texts from a college campus about a dorm
that's just in tears.”
Fast-forward to today and the abusively biased media
has not changed and has not learned anything. They have not apologized
for their collusion or for their dishonest reporting. Even worse, they
are ignoring President Trump's accomplishments in just 30 days. They are
never going to tell the American people the truth.
So far, President Trump has ordered federal agencies
to ease the burden of ObamaCare, withdrawn the U.S. from the flawed
Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal, implemented a government hiring
freeze and banned aid that helped foreign countries provide abortions.
He has issued five executive actions advancing the Keystone and the
Dakota Access pipelines, which will create jobs and lead to energy
independence. He has announced construction of a border wall, ordered
federal funding stripped from sanctuary cities, issued executive actions
on extreme vetting and ordered rebuilding of our military.
Trump has ordered up a plan to defeat ISIS,
instituted a five-year lobbying ban for administration officials and
nominated an originalist to the Supreme Court in Judge Neil Gorsuch. He
signed a House joint resolution to help the coal industry get back into
business, sanctioned Iran over its ballistic missile program, negotiated
lower prices on F-35 fighter jets and Air Force One and met with top
CEOs to incentivize them to create jobs here.
President Trump signed executive orders to protect
police officers and target drug cartels. He launched a council for the
advancement of women entrepreneurs. He has called or met with more than
30 foreign leaders so far and put together a first-class cabinet.
The news media are at war with the president because
their little egos are bruised, and they have been exposed. And they're
waging this battle by focusing in on superfluous issues, citing unnamed
sources. They are basically throwing around allegations in the hope
something may stick one day, and they go out there and report
breathlessly about whatever the tweet is of the day.
The mainstream media's audience is not you, the
American people. They are not the forgotten men and women in poverty, on
food stamps, out of the labor force, who can't buy a house and struggle
to put food on the table and send their children to good schools.
Out-of-touch liberals know nothing about you, nothing about your
problems, don't seem to care about the millions more in poverty, on food
stamps and out of work, the people that are struggling.
That's why they didn't think that Donald Trump could
win. It's why they can't for the life of them understand why he is
connecting with the American people. And it is why President Trump
calls them for what they are: Purveyors of fake news.
