Trump’s Media Haters Still Don’t Get It

Election Be Damned, Google’s Anti-Trump Bias Is Alive And Well   . . ."That’s why any time we challenge climate hysteria with facts, or dispute COVID dogma with facts, or talk about election fraud with facts, or criticize electric vehicles with facts, or bring facts to bear on any other item in the woke left’s canon, Google slaps one of those labels on it and strips its ads from those pages.

"All in the name of protecting the “democratic process.”

"This isn’t about shielding readers from obscene or violent content. It’s not about ensuring that companies won’t have their ads appear next to horrible stuff. It’s about starving conservative viewpoints of money. It’s about censorship by a monopolist, pure and simple." . . .

Trump Humiliates His Media Enemies 

. . ."Yet in the election aftermath, there appears to have been no reassessment of political priorities by these failing networks, which are now endeavoring to sabotage the presidency of the man who won the election by ignoring what he has long called the “fake news” media." . . .

. . ."If the Harris campaign has been completely discredited by its defeat, however, what about the credibility of those media organizations which promoted the Harris campaign’s message as if it were the gospel truth? CBS News certainly was not alone in hyping up hope for Harris, and the media’s barrage of partisan hype started long before Election Night. The self-evident unity of political purpose among “the Democrat-Media complex” (to employ the late Andrew Breitbart’s phrase) means that the defeat of Kamala Harris was also a defeat for the media.

“ 'Broadcast evening news coverage of the candidates was the most wildly imbalanced in history, favoring Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over former Republican President Donald Trump by the greatest margin ever recorded,” Rich Noyes of the Media Research Center reported. “[C]overage of Harris … on ABC, CBS, and NBC was 78 percent positive vs. 22 percent negative. For Trump, those numbers were flipped: just 15 percent positive press, vs. 85 percent negative coverage.”

"That Trump won the election despite such lopsided bias in coverage by the major networks clearly demonstrates that a majority of American voters no longer trust the media when it comes to political coverage.

"What is most remarkable about all this is that liberal journalists — “Democratic operatives with bylines,” as Professor Glenn Reynolds calls them — seem to have learned nothing from the thorough beating they (and their candidate of choice) suffered in November. Much of the post-election analysis and commentary in the media has focused on campaign tactics and strategy, as though Harris could have won if she had done this or that differently. A typical example was a November 7 USA Today article by Francesca Chambers that recounted the Harris campaign’s choices at length — more than 3,500 words — and included this:" . . .  Full article...


Trump’s Media Haters Still Don’t Get It   . . ."Elections are about choices, and this isn’t a particularly difficult one. For all of Trump’s bluster, his first term was characterized by low inflation, energy independence, secure borders, a constrained China and Russia, and the Abraham Accords, which would have earned any president not named Trump a Nobel Peace Prize. The chaotic Biden years have been defined by high inflation, vaccine mandates, the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, the utter lack of accountability, a bizarre culture war, and the prospect of WWIII breaking out any day in the Middle East, Eastern Europe or possibly Asia.
"This isn’t lost on voters. The majority of Americans say they were better off four years ago than they are today. Of course they were. Jones and others in the media want me to focus on Trump’s loose and occasionally profane rhetoric. I prefer to focus on his policies and the relative normalcy of his first term." . . .
