Role of the Media

Trump has tweeted over 400 times more about CNN than he has about the opiod problem. Hell, he has tweeted 28 times more about Joe and Mike than Americans being addicted to and dying from opiods.

He has tweeted 14 times more about CNN than he has about education.

My bad, using demonstrable facts is no longer allowed in Trumpworld.

Simply put, the MSM are not used to having a Republican president telling the leftist MSM to shove it.  Aside from Newt Gingrich calling out the debate questioners during the 2012 campaign and George H.W. Bush calling out Dan Rather in 1988, the Republicans usually act like a punching bag. 

President Trump knows how to communicate directly with his supporters by using Twitter and having campaign-style rallies.  His supporters like this because they see President Trump fight the MSM.  The MSM keep "advising" President Trump that he stop the Twitter messages and the replies to the MSM because, in their opinion, it is not "presidential."  The plain truth, though, is that the MSM are afraid that President Trump is making them irrelevant, because Trump can communicate directly with his supporters, and because Trump fights back.  The MSM no longer own the playing field.

The Opposition Party is desperate.  It has no real congressional leaders.  The Dems are turning on Pelosi, and Schumer is a lightweight, as stated by President Trump, who knows Schumer from New York City.  The Opposition Party is now led by angry "comics" like Kathy Griffin, Colbert, and the "journalists" at CNN and MSNBC, and the Times and Post.

Trump, and America, is winning.  He appointed Gorsuch to  the Supreme Court, won the travel ban in the Supreme Court, reduced illegal immigration, rescinded the Paris Climate Change agreement, allowed the pipeline, and issuing executive orders to undo the harm done by Obama.

The "Russia" story is a joke.  There is no evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians nor that the Russians affected the vote.  Obama knew of Russian attempts to influence but did nothing.  Loretta Lynch is being investigated.  Bernie Sanders is being investigated.  Hillary should be investigated.  Comey all but admitted that Lynch told him to let Hillary walk.

On the tax cut and repealing Obamacare, President Trump has to rely on McConnell and Ryan to round up the votes.  It may be best to simply repeal Obamacare and let the free market offer health plans, with Medicaid handling the poor.

Simply put, Mr. President: Ignore the advice from the MSM, the cheerleaders of the Democratic Party.  They are out to destroy you.  Keep fighting, and keep using Twitter to get respond to the vicious attacks and smears.

I love the "communicate directly with his supporters" line. Presidents have been able to do this since the invention of the radio. The difference is that other presidents didn't feel the need to subject the populace to every idiotic thought that passes through their head.

Why does this post alternate between bolded red and black font?

BKF, I just noticed your "basketball sucks" avatar. You really messed up your basketball watching. You stopped following the Deacs in the 90s, and therefore missed watching Duncan play. As I'm sure you know, he was incredible at Wake, and one of the top 10 all-time players in the history of the game. He was so sound that his nickname was The Big Fundamental - exactly your type of player. Now, you're in full NBA denial even though the league made changes several years ago that have really stressed fundamentals and opened up the game. Teams like the Warriors and Spurs are playing great ball, with incredible passing and shooting, and you're again missing out. Your instincts seem to be way off. You should pull a George Costanza and do the exact opposite of what your instincts tell you to do.
 
From what I have read of Michael Goodwin, he makes Sean Hannity look like an intellect.
 
He is an extreme right-wing reactionary who thinks Trump is doing a great job. Reading his columns is like reading a bkf board post.

If this is what you are considering informed opinion, it is no wonder your convinced yourself that Trump was a good choice in 2016.

For a media that was against Trump, they sure spent ALOT of time covering the Clinton email issues.

All forms of media got played by Republicans and Russia and other fake news propaganda.

Remember when conservatives were outraged that right-leaning news wasn't showing up as trending on Facebook? That was a purposeful move to make it easier to spread fake news.

KS Senator compares healthcare bill negotiations to porcupine sex, AP fact-checks comparison.

 
So even porcupines compromise and do the deed.

Stinger holes and rashes from porcupine sex are clearly not covered under Trumpcare, but injuries from golden showers are covered.

Getting a tire change and of course Fox News is on. The anchor is eviscerating Chris Christie's spokesman for him staying at a closed public beach. This is hilarious.

Radio Sputnik has been on HD radio in DC for a while. Piggybacking on another radio station. Now it seems they are getting their own broadcast frequency so those who don't have HD radio can hear what they have to say.

Yep, that was mentioned a couple of days ago. RT is next.

The "CNN response" to Trump's retweet.

 
Republicans are becoming a cult.
https://www.axios.com/exclusive-ast...rganic&utm_content=textlong&utm_term=politics

"A stark poll by Survey Monkey finds that 89% of Republicans view President Trump as more trustworthy than CNN, and 91% of Democrats think the opposite. Among all adults, trust for CNN is 7 points ahead of Trump. Among independents, CNN wins by 15 points."

"33% of Republicans say they get their news only from Fox."

""A red flag for Democrats continues to be a perception that Trump is isolating himself from the GOP base with his tweets. Not only do most Republicans approve of his use of Twitter, but asked to describe those tweets, the No. 1 mention among the GOP is 'truthful,' with 'entertaining' in second place.""
