Try as they might to hide the fact, the national news media
has demonstrated their hatred of the US president by spending far more energy
trying to harpoon the president than tell the truth about both the Hurricane
debacle and the media falsely reporting the US is in, or entering a recession.
Recession
Sometimes it seems as if the media is attempting to create a
disaster against the president in hopes it will destroy him in the polls and upcoming
election. The efforts to light a fire to
generate a recession is perhaps the strongest indication yet the media could
care less about the harm such reckless reporting can do to the people of
America and the nation.
CNN, MSNBC, NBC, Yahoo News and CBSN have violated every
concept of journalism integrity in their obsession with destroying Trump including
blindly trying to create a groundswell of fear in the economic and financial universe
that a recession was being kept hidden from the public that could bring down
the president.
Several weeks of economic uncertainty followed, fueled by
ominous claims from reporters, anchors and anti-Trump “unbiased” guests on
these news programs to reinforce the downward spiraling economy. In the end no one bought the dastardly and
false claims of our media.
It never seemed to occur to the media that it was their
false claims and radical bias that was fueling recession talks and had nothing
to do with economic principles nor reality.
Why should a news media receive constitutional protection when the news media
is working to undermine the economy and presidency and threaten the livelihood
and hard-earned savings and pensions of the public?
An economic downturn would be devastating not only to
business and consumer confidence, but it would undermine the value of homes,
property, small businesses and even retirement savings for all Americans,
Democrat, Republican and Independent alike.
Union pension plans would be destabilized, interest rates
would increase, inflation would skyrocket and homes would be lost for the sole
purpose of helping the news media destroy the presidency.
The radical elements of the news media are attached at the umbilical
cord to the Democratic party so one can only assume neither cares much about
the constituents they serve, even those elected to serve all Americans, let
alone their own party base. It is hard
to distinguish at times whether the media is the puppet master of the
Democratic party establishment or vice versa.
Regardless, it is a very unholy alliance with no regard to
the damage they can do to their own base.
The people’s reaction to the fearmongers is to push the stock markets to
record highs by today. Yet the same
media keep trying to instill fear about a recession.
Weathergate
As for the Alabama Tweet on September 1, a Sunday morning,
by the President, in which he said Alabama was in the path of Hurricane Dorian,
what are the facts? From August 24 – August
30 the National Hurricane Center issued alerts showing that Dorian could hit
Alabama, contrary to what the media seemed to claim. The charts are shown in this story.
On August 31, a Saturday, the NHC showed for the first time
that the path was shifting and Alabama might not be included although hurricane
tracking is always difficult to project, especially this one. The NHC still showed the hurricane affecting Alabama
in a separate chart that day released with the spaghetti model.
The next morning, Sunday, Trump issued his statement urging
people to heed the warnings and mentioning Alabama could still be in the path. Well it certainly seemed possible based on
the August 31 NHC release but September 1 the NHC dropped any reference to
Alabama being involved.
Note just the day before Trump's Tweet the National Hurricane Center still said there was " higher than usual" uncertainty about the path. Six days later the news media lead story on the channels still
mentioned how Trump fabricated the Alabama exposure to the hurricane.
Even the Washington Post, no friend of
Trump, warned their fellow media members they were contributing to making the news
media look like the villains in their death struggle with Trump. As of today, September 13, stories are still
being carried about the weather forecasting.
And then there is Impeachment
Finally, there is the effort by the Democratic members of
the House to impeach President Trump or not impeach Trump. Since it has been the main purpose for the
Democrats since Trump’s election it is not going away.
Yesterday, September 12, the House Judiciary Committee took
firm action on impeachment, according to Chairman
Jerrold Nadler (D-NY). Oddly, even the
partner in pushing the impeachment, the same news media that seems to be
running the Democratic National Committee, were left confused.
This latest flip flop by the
Democrats has confused rank-and-file members and caused mixed messages between
Democrats on the Judiciary panel and in the House leadership, according
to Newsweek.
Normally politicians pay attention
to polls. The Democrats are no longer
normal, I guess. The most recent polls
on impeachment paint a far different picture.
SSRS conducted a poll for CNN from March through May which showed
impeachment favorability increasing slightly from 36 to 41 percent.
The Mueller report was
released in March. The former special counsel himself testified before Congress
in July, but a Politico/Morning Consult
poll showed little change, with 37 percent support for an impeachment
inquiry. A Monmouth University poll last month found that 59 percent of
people opposed having him impeached.
Polls also show 55% of
Democrats oppose Impeachment. With
nearly 60% of the public opposed to impeachment, what is wrong with the House Democrats?
Here is the most current Gallup
tracking poll on Congress.
Do you approve or disapprove of the
way Congress is handling its job?
2019 Aug 1-14 Approve 17% Disapprove
79%
What about the news media
credibility?
According to The Hill, in 2018 seventy-two percent of
Americans believe "traditional major news sources report news they know to
be fake, false, or purposely misleading," according to a poll from Axios
and SurveyMonkey.
The poll of nearly
4,000 adults shows that 92 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning
independents "say that traditional news outlets knowingly report false or
misleading stories at least sometimes," a finding in line with other
recent polls conducted by Pew Research and Gallup.
It found the
sentiment extends to those who identify as independents and Democrats, with 79
percent of independents also saying traditional outlets knowingly report false
or misleading stories at least sometimes. Democrats agree by a slight majority
of 53 percent.
Presidential debate September 12
As
for the latest indicator of public interest in the politics in America, here
are the preliminary Nielsen overnight ratings for the September 12 Democrat
Presidential debate.
Total Viewers (in
millions): ABC: 11.22 million, CBS: 3.86, Fox: 2.03, NBC: 1.66, CW: 0.63.
Okay, about 17 million
people tuned in.
According to the US census Bureau the current population of
the United States of America is 329,275,423 as of Wednesday, July 31, 2019. People 18 and over (eligible voters), are 77.6%
of the population.
Thus, in this first-time debate for all leading Democratic candidates
for president shown on multiple networks, about 5% of the eligible voters took
time to watch. Which also means about
95% of the eligible voters did not watch.
