Morning Rant .... on the media being "Trump Fluffers."

[Botany]

BTW I'm sick of 80% + of the MSM being full time "Trump Fluffers." Mother fuckers keep running up the pole the tired ass memes about Trump's political future and his 2024 run for the Presidency because his political future is very weak and he will not be a viable candidate for POTUS either.

Facts for the fact less:

Trump lost the House, the Senate, and the White House in just 4 years.

He lost the popular vote two times.

He was impeached twice and if wasn't for the senate republicans putting party over the country he should have
been convicted, removed from office, and blocked from running again.

He was installed by in 2016 by Russia who used our dirty ass crack electoral college to install Trump. Manafort with his pardon just came out and admitted to rat fucking our elections by feeding data analytics to the Russians.

Trump is in a shit load of legal trouble both criminal and civil. The espionage which Trump will be charged with is serious shit. America has had 3 people with that level of espionage 2 were executed the Rosenbergs (BTW they were guilty as hell) and the other was FBI agent Robert Hanssen who is doing 15 life term in the Federal Super Max in Colorado. As much as the GOP and their media boot licks like to talk about other things .... the FBI Raid, A.G. Muller's was anti Trump, the warrant, and other process arguments .... they can't say shit about the evidence. Bottom line Trump was selling out America to her enemies.

1. They refuse to report that he may be damaged goods?

Too damaged to run for office again?

His number one adviser was subpoenaed to go to Atlanta to testify in an investigation of election fraud.

His CEO pled guilty to 15 charges of fraud and will have to go to jail.

He was impeached twice, once for his attempted extortion of the Ukrainian president and once for inciting an insurrection to overthrow our government .

Now he has been caught with the goods - stolen documents with untold damage to our national security.

And all the media can talk about is where he is in the polls and whether he is going to run in 2024? They pretend he is carrying no baggage. They pretend he is still qualified to be president. They pretend that his crimes are nothing more than simple mistakes. After all, that is the way he is.

Indeed.

2. The media was well aware of Trump being mobbed up in 2016 but all we heard about was ...

... HILLARY'S EMAILS.

[CrispyQ]

3. The media will help re-elect Trump if he runs.

Their influence will give any right wing candidate a bigger, louder voice than the dem candidate.

[Botany]

5. I will die mad.

"Liberal Media"

[CrispyQ]

15. That is a stunning graph.

And no apology or correction, even after the facts show what a criminal he is & has been for years & what a disaster he was & is for the country. It's just mind-boggling.

[Botany]

17. Facebook paid a 5 billion $ fine for helping Russia and Cambridge Analytica "bath" millions of ....

.... Americans with the made up Clinton "email scandal." The NY Times published their correction to
pushing the made up email crap in the middle of the paper in just a few paragraphs only CNN's Jeffery
Toobin has publicly apologized for pushing the email lies. Both CNN & MSNBC, along with the rest of
the media pushed that shit too.

13. Love it! Great comeback!

4. Why not join the 95% of adults who don't watch cable news?

[TheRealNorth]

6. They might not watch cable news....

But they are exposed to the stories and the headlines on the internet.

[Kaleva]

8. If they aren't watching news on cable,

it's unlikely they are looking at news sites on the Internet.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. If they use any social media platforms

(and a bunch of boomers and older can't seem to get rid of Fakebook) then they get "fed" those stories whenever they are using such stuff.

[Kaleva]

18. What percentage of them read or pay any attention to the stories?

I'm on Facebook and I just skim right past them

[BumRushDaShow]

19. You have a bunch who don't frequent political sites like DU

who will often scan them and even forward some. I have an uncle who does this (he will be 79 this year).

We who post here know better.

[TheRealNorth]

22. Just open your Google, yahoo, or MSN splash page

You get bombarded with headlines. Maybe you are super hyper focused, but the average person absorbs the pictures and headlines on some level. That's how advertising works.

[Kaleva]

23. Is there a reason why I should open those pages?

I haven't done that in a long time nor do I have a need to.

[TheRealNorth]

24. Is there any reason that anyone that is not you shouldn't?

[spanone]

7. The media still loves trump and his chaos.

9. They're not fluffers, they're blowers.

[ffr]

12. +1

Horse race odds manipulators. Keep the race close. Frustrate candidates that can make a difference.

[onecaliberal]

14. They're mouths are full of his cancerous spuge.

[ashredux]

10. Well, let me reply to your post. YES 👏

16. When right wingers whine the Fox lie about blaming the democrats for not funding the wall,

When right wingers whine about not building the wall, ask them why the republicans refused to fund it. Remind them that Trump told Moscow Mitch how to get the financing passed in the Senate without support from the Democrats. His Republicans refused. They were desperate to co-op the Democrats because they did not want the entire credit/blame to fall upon them.

20. "Yeah, there's that treason thing but he's so good for ratings!"

This is something that I sincerely hope bites them hard on the ass and soon.

21. CBS' CEO Les Moonves, "It May Not Be Good for America, but It's Damn Good for CBS"

Leslie Moonves on Donald Trump: “It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS”

“Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said.

“I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going,” said Moonves.

We now have been seeing the same thing but in reverse for President Biden who is doing the best job
of President I have ever seen in my lifetime.
