Yet the headline is contorted to make it appear Trump is weak, uncertain, scared, passive, girly. Surely had it bee Obama, " Obama stands up to Iran"!That's ironic, given that Barack Obama was arguably the girliest president we've ever had. |

The only one on there with whom I have had my struggles (although I do not know a couple of them) is Real Clear Politics. I was not enamored with some of their articles on the impeachment, but that has been pretty recent, so I’ll take your word for it. The rest of them that I do know, I read regularly. RCP does a good job of featuring articles from both sides of the spectrum. Probably does the best job of all. |

Good insight into what the media chooses to cover in the Trump Era.

RCP does a good job of featuring articles from both sides of the spectrum. Probably does the best job of all. Agreed. RCP is a news aggregator that posts stories and commentary from all sides. RCP's co-founder and president, Tom Bevan, is a conservative who appears from time to time on the Laura Ingraham show on FOX. |

When all of twitter has you #1 trending, the morning talk shows simply trashing you....... your brand is basically sh*t....... From the beginning of the Trump era CNN has been blatant in it's reporting, lying, distorting. From the beginning Trump has fought and labeled the #FakeNews, CNN has been branded and beaten by Donald Trump.

www.commondreams.org/news/2020/01/15/cnn-truly-terrible-influence-country-democratic-debate-moderators-pilloried-centrist'CNN Is Truly a Terrible Influence on This Country': Democratic Debate Moderators Pilloried for Centrist Talking Points and Anti-Sanders Bias "This is an unusually vile performance by CNN," tweeted Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi. Critics of the corporate media as well as supporters and staffers of Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign blasted the moderators of the CNN/Des Moines Register Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night for employing centrist talking points and demonstrating a bias against Sanders in how they framed questions. "Again and again, CNN anchors substituted centrist talking points for questions―and then followed up predictable responses with further centrist talking points, rarely illuminating any substantive disagreements between the candidates or problems with their policy positions," he wrote. Carter pointed to examples such as when Phillip noted that Des Moines is an "insurance town" and asked Sanders what will happen to employees of private insurance companies if the country implements Medicare for All. She also asked Sanders, "How would you keep your plans from bankrupting the country?" =====snip==== CNN is in bed with the DNC. The went after Sanders in 2016 to.

Yes, of course the media is silent. They never deviate from their agenda. But the average Joe American can tell whether or not he's better off by the thicker wallet he's sitting on, and the increased size of his retirement plan. He doesn't need the media to tell him the answer.

Americans should vote their wallets unless they want to surrender them to the Democrats... the Democrats come 2020 may rue the day that their own strategist James Carville coined the phrase for Bill Clinton “It’s the Economy Stupid”!

I suppose it is too much to ask the voters to yptoss out the likes of Pelosi, Schiff, and Nadler (and Ohmar and Tlaib and Cortez, et al), though...
I very cynically believe there are some alive today who are too stupid (and selfish) to be trusted with the right to vote.

I assume you're referring to both parties, because neither side has a monopoly on stupid voters. Fools "come in all flavors" . . . that's diversity LOL |

Media's reaction to: - Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficked underage girls for his rich and connected liberal friends: nothing to see here, folks.
- Jeffrey Epstein wasn't environmentally conscious: burn the heretic!
