Media exposed

After the latest media treatment of the terrible events that unfolded in Charlottesville, it has become clear the propaganda press will never report the words or actions of President Trump accurately or honestly. A couple of weeks ago, our Commander in Chief met a threatening North Korea with words and actions the DPRK regime might actually understand, “(North Korea) will be met with fire and fury, and frankly, power, the likes of which this world has never seen before.”

What exactly does that mean?

1. Diplomatic Power: UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson rally a unanimous UN decision to sanction North Korea.

2. Economic Power: Pressure is waged on China — responsible for more than 90% of North Korean trade — by Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross who have begun investigation into China’s theft of intellectual property.

3. Military Power: Our brave military are fully prepared with all available options in the region.

4. Fire and Fury: Unlike the last president, we know President Trump doesn’t allow red lines to be crossed.

All of this isn’t good enough for the media, though, because they are more concerned about how the president’s words might have hurt Kim Jon-un’s feelings. The fact is four administrations of both political parties have allowed the world to slide into this state.

What happened in Charlottesville was disgusting and un-American. President Trump factually blamed both sides for the violence, just like the ACLU. But the media would rather not mention the fact that extreme leftists from Antifa and others acted violently also.

The unprecedented media spin from this situation along with the previous president who failed to call out the true perpetrators of violence in Ferguson, Dallas, etc. are the purveyors of fake news and instigators of America’s racial tensions.

If anyone doubts how morally and ethically bankrupt the national press is, just remember, we know the only real collusion that took place during the 2016 election was between the Clinton campaign and the media. Thanks to Wikileaks, which still no one has been able to prove inaccurate for 11 years, we have a list of hundreds of “journalists” from all the usual suspects — ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, etc — who had an invitation-only dinner with Hillary’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, sent articles for approval before publishing, campaign advice, and indeed the questions to the CNN debates to candidate Hillary Clinton. These are the same people who have been wrong about Donald J. Trump since June 16th, 2015 and still are today.
