RE: Your Confirmation Bias Against Trump is Embarrassing
While I don't disagree with you, it's tough to give a lot of credence to comments that A) spew vulgarity B)jsut repeats a bunch of mainstream media talking points.
Yup, Trump is in over his head and I sure as heck didn't vote for him. But 'interested in ratings', 'egotistical', 'hired white supremacist'? Brother (sorry to assume your gender), we gotta stop watching CNN!
I've written a lot about Obama's faults. Hopefully, we'll see the left come out against any of the sins that Trump persists on.
What does CNN have to do with those accurate descriptions? This administration is not within the bounds of normalcy. The level of incompetence and dysfunction is 'unpresidented'.
Accurate descriptions? I'm dangerously close to having to defend Trump, not something I enjoy.
White supremacist- Go to Steve Bannon's wiki page and start figuring out why people call him a white supremacist. There's 5 instances of the word 'racist' there. Turns out, the mainstream media's white supremacist talking point all points back to a tenable fact that Bannon co-founded Breitbart. At one point a couple Breitbart writers said something 'racist-y'. Thus Bannon = White Supremacist. If you repeat it enough times, it turns out to be true.
Now I think Bannon is a big turd and don't like his nomination. But, it's intellectually disingenuous to just repeat 'sexist, bigot, transphobic, misogynist..." left talking points.
I agree with one thing you said, though. The MEDIA COVERAGE of this presidency is not within the bounds of normalcy. It's by design. Everything is an outrage. Unfortunately, they're the boy crying wolf so when Trump bombed the Yemenis and killed and 8year old girl or proposed tariffs which are economically horrible, the relative stink made about it is lost.
"I'm dangerously close to having to defend Trump"
I wouldn't wish that task on anyone. Even Trump's highly paid professionals have a hard time defending him.
Bannon earned his reputation. Just Google about him and you can sit back an enjoy a barrage of quotes and views that flirt with white supremacy.
This is not a media issue. Trump is to blame for a complete lack of normalcy. The media is scrambling to figure out how to work with a delusional liar.
It's not like the media is delusional and inventing crowds that don't exist along with millions of illegal Hillary voters and obsessing over it. Trump's media woes are wholly of Trump's own making. The man is thinned skinned, unbalanced and a prolific liar. He is proving quite quickly that he is completely incompetent for the job. None of that is the media's fault.
