NOTICE TO COMPLAINERS:

The President Should Not Have to Respond to Every Mainstream Leading News Story

Presidents have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. I'd like the leader of the so called "free country" in the world to focus on jobs that really matter. On that note, I think in recent history the Presidency has become more of an entertainment spectacle for media to feed on.

President Obama

We saw this with President Obama. Though the majority of mainstream coverage was in a generally positive or at least forgiving light, alternative media was very much anti-'Obama Administration.'

On the mainstream media, Barack Obama was basically an A-List celebrity. While president he had an incredible number of media appearances to such an extent that this video exists where he gives mock responses to mean tweets about him. This video has 51 Million views.

Doesn't the President have better things to do?

President Trump

Now that someone more conservative and elected with an 'R' by their name is in the oval office; it became time for mainstream media to flip and disrespect or at least reject the president at any chance they get. They criticize his statements more than anything you could possibly think of. Nitpicking the trivial and reducing the news cycle to time wasting garbage.

This whole Charlottesville protest and response media coverage is getting my blood boiling. Once again an isolated event that should be limited to the scope of the city and local law enforcement is overblown because it can be played to be divisive, race baiting and a way to align Trump with White Supremacists with no evidence but conjecture.

CNN is being typical CNN with focusing on what the President did, or did not say in the wrong way in response to an event. Acting like the President's job is to be a social critic and to solve the philosophical problems of the entire country through his voicebox alone.

To top it off, look at how rude they are in portraying him over this event:

I think we need to calm down, stop watching mainstream media or anyone who promotes the bickering and drivel of "he said - she said". This is so juvenile, or should we say 'elementary' as CNN used in their above headline?

I want to think @bullishmoney for covering the issue of White Supremacy and Violence in relation to these current events so that I don't have to. Too much of this talk is one sided because of our addiction to entertainment and sensationalism; heck that could be a key reason I'm covering this issue is because it's a hot topic at this moment, so why not?

For those not in the know, here is the (as far as I know) original response Trump gave to the violence in North Carolina.

Trump responds to violence in Charlottesville: We condemn violence and bigotry 'on many sides' - from Washington Free Beacon repost of CNN coverage

And here is a news story on the reaction to Trump's comments and the White House's reaction to the reaction.
From {The New York Times: White House Acts to Stem Fallout From Trump’s First Charlottesville Remarks](https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/13/us/charlottesville-protests-white-nationalists-trump.html) - Even going so far as to feature prominently as the headline image a man donning a nazi flag.

Sort:  

bunch of moany keyboard warriors

And here we are, moaning about keyboard warriors on our keyboards, haha.

Totally agree

Horrible what is going on indeed, I am thankful everyday to be apart of blockchain though. It can change everything and move humanity in a different direction once you really start to see. I hope the president discovers tools like the Steem blockchain and other censorship resistant tech to help #MAGA.

Yes. much less hate on here :) hate is not popular on here; love is popular :)

You are right, with blockchain you are not taking a decision left or right but straight forward. We are still early adapters.. I hope mine will be better after a few stupid mistakes.. I started in may 2018. But because of it I found Steemit. Use it daily and loving it more each day.. Hope you can find the time to see my latest post.. and I hope to achieve my goal.. That is a visit to the US in 2019 with my kids.. Thx and have a good night..

you mean may this year or 2016?

See you in 2019!

I hope so to.. Thx, if you have any special places to visit in the west coast US please let me know..

Trump is an ass just like any US president all they are good for is poverty and comedy

I agree on the comedy aspect. What should a president do or not do to address poverty, in your opinion?

good question for @joshuaatiemo - I'd say let him focus on economic policy and not public relations! That's what I also could have mentioned. The White House is not a public relations firm! how can they focus on real problems when so worried about what they're saying to please people's ears; and that's the very reason trump is elected and conservatives have hope because he's not politically correct so maybe he can actually get real work done

It's bizarre that the news outlets are always waiting with bated breath for a comment that suits their bias!

it makes sense with it is sensation and keeps their audience for as long as they can - controversy sells

Take CNN for example, the audience are pre brainwashed from years of propaganda. Biased news is like soothing food for limited thought, its comforting to hear.

yeah. prepared to respond in a certain way like Pavlov's dogs

I tuned out TV news decades ago, they don't report news. They tell you how awfull life/people is/are and what you should think about it. A person would/should need therapy if they watch that crap every day.
I would bet dollars to donuts that all these groups are organized and funded by the same people untill people demand an end to any protests what so ever. There are already laws on the books forbidding gatherings of even small groups, now they need public support to implenment them.
It should be mandatory for all participants to take some extacy a couple hours befor admittance to protest zones, then they might just talk and realize they are all being played like a really out of tune instument LOL
Cheers

They've had decade after decade to condense; there's probably a reasonable justification now under US laws to trust bust these news conglomerates - break the monopoly and have more healthy competition; but even if we don't the dinosaur media is dying and the internet is taking over. Just don't let them take the free internet from us! GO STEEMIT

Let's give the President a chance! I asked you, what if you're the president. What would you do?

Vacation every day. Pocket veto every bill. Waste taxpayer money on myself to sow healthy distrust in government.

OMG what a great philsophy :) I do sometimes think or wish if Sanders was in there, increase the spending, socialism etc. to see this system collapse and reset as fast as possible. Now its being delayed and the conservatives are being appeased and I hate to believe its just the status quo left-right paradigm going on over and over

I know what you mean. I almost didn't vote for Trump, based on this principle of excess and reset. I was inclined to let backlash against Marxism build up a little more, so it could be properly crushed. Ultimately, however, I voted against the probable importation of terrorists under refugee resettlement.

He who controls the media controls the people. So they've got to sell their snake oil and the media are the facilitators :)

true that. Do you follow Truthstream Media?

Just hearing of them now that you mentioned it.

they do some great comprehensive informational videos. solid and dense well researched content for the conspiracy realm

Yeah, I just came across one of their article. Pretty cool.

Well written post. I just posted this on the funny side about Pres. Trump... https://steemit.com/funny/@thedeplorable1/well-well-well-guilty If Trump said that Jesus was a good person, the media would disagree just because he said it!

haha very funny title and that would definitely cause controversy though it would just spur the left atheists and anti-christians but you know what; the media like CNN may just start questioning the stories and morals of Jesus if Trump did that! It's not unrealistic even
