President Trump's MSM Coverage is Over 90% Negative

Out of all the Liberal comments, not one has extolled the virtues of Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Maybe you can enlighten everyone why you think Hillary would have been a better and less evil choice than Donald Trump and maybe you can give us a description of what the Country and World would look like today under a Hillary Administration.

Maybe you should focus on the POTUS, and not the failed Democratic candidate. This constant deflection back to Clinton to avoid the obvious flaws of Trump has gotten tedious.
 
Posts like this ^^ make me wonder if the author really is so stupid that he/she is incapable of recognizing Trump’s many obvious character deficiencies (being very kind), if they’re drunk on Trump Kool-Aid, or if they’re just instigating a losing argument.

Which are you?

I hate politics in general and I am no Trump supporter. Trump was/is all those things you said, but that does not make him worse than the general politicians. More transparent perhaps, but not worse. Purely politically, he brings hope into an otherwise hopeless and destitute system.

I misunderstood, I actually thought you meant that he is/has done those things as a politician rather than in the past. And being a lowlife scumbag, lying swindling, traitor, mega-narsissist, super-ego, power hungry psychopath like characterize most politicians, did not prevent you from shutting up about those same things about "glrorious Obama". It's just the double-moral and hypocrisy that becomes so damn visible when people call one person this and that, and then they support another who is just like it or even worse.

Most politicians are monsters, and our systems just happens to attract the worst of the worst among the population, and those who succeed are the very prime of liars and the ones who desire power and attention more than anyone else, the biggest narcissists and worst characters of all, the worst psychopaths in society. Trump is not worse than all of them, Trump is actually less bad than most of them, and his politics and his political line is alot less bad than the alternatives.

As a president though, he has not been those things you claim, and if he has, he has been less so than most of his predecessors the last 30 or so years.

Interesting vent.

You did not misunderstand that I am saying (correctly) Trump is, and has for many decades been a lying, swindling, bigoted, xenophobic, mega narcissistic, demagogic d-bag.

He will likely go down in history as one of 2-3 worst American presidents.

Also, you don’t know me at all, so where do you get off assuming anything regarding my opinion of Obama?

While I don’t completely disagree with everything in your post, I’ve seen enough to know further dialogue on this subject with you is waste of both of our time.
 
Liberals love to bash President Trump because He’s unconventional and not a polished life long politician. What He is ,is a very smart entrepreneurial Business Man who’s running the country like a busuness and as you can see from the list of accomplishments in the OP in just two years He’s doing a pretty good job to the dismay of Liberals. The most glaring omission from the critics of President Trump is any extolling of the virtues of his opponent Hillaty and how the Country and the World would be better off if She had been elected. I wonder how many more Wars we’d be in and would Her list of accomplishments even come close to those of President Trumps I sincerely doubt it. I guess Liberals would prefer someone with this list.
1.Denigrated Monica Lewinsky: to support Billy only the second president in American history to be impeached.
2. Benghazi: Four Americans killed, an entire system of weak diplomatic security uncloaked, and the credibility of a president and his secretary of state damaged.
3. Asia fundraising scandal: More than four dozen convicted in a scandal that made the Lincoln bedroom, White House donor coffees and Buddhist monks infamous,
4. Hillary’s private emails: Hundreds of national secrets already leaked through private email and the specter of a criminal probe looming large.
5. Whitewater: A large S&L failed and several people went to prison.
6. Travelgate: The firing of the career travel office was the very first crony capitalism scandal of the Clinton era.
7. Humagate: An aide’s sweetheart job arrangement.
8. Pardongate: The first time donations were ever connected as possible motives for presidential pardons.
9. Foundation favors: Revealing evidence that the Clinton Foundation was a pay-to-play back door to the State Department, and an open checkbook for foreigners to curry favor.
10. Mysterious files: The disappearance and re-discovery of Hillary’s Rose Law Firm records.
11. Filegate: The Clinton use of FBI files to dig for dirt on their enemies.
12. Hubble trouble: The resignation and imprisonment of Hillary law partner Web Hubbell.
13. The Waco tragedy: One of the most lethal exercises of police power in American history.
14. The Clinton’s Swedish slush fund: $26 million collected overseas with little accountability and lots of questions about whether contributors got a pass on Iran sanctions.
15. Troopergate: From the good old days, did Arkansas state troopers facilitate Bill Clinton’s philandering?
16. Gennifer Flowers: The tale that catapulted a supermarket tabloid into the big time.
17. Bill’s Golden Tongue: His and her speech fees shocked the American public.
18. Boeing Bucks: Boeing contributed big-time to Bill; Hillary helped the company obtain a profitable Russian contract.
19. Larry Lawrence: How did a fat cat donor get buried in Arlington National Cemetery without war experience?
20. The cattle futures: Hillary as commodity trader extraordinaire.
21. Chinagate: Nuclear secrets go to China on her husband’s watch.

At least you left that part in so we know you totally didn't come up with that on your own not that your sorry English phrases didn't give you away in the first place.

That I agree with, but not all, and with reservations. I'm no expert on Trumps career and life, and I doubt you are.

He will likely go down in history as one of 2-3 worst American presidents.

That I don't agree with. He is clearly the most coordinatedly attacked president in history, and they are trying to make his presidency a failure. I don't think he will be though, He has already done some (for a politician) exceptional things, and he is not dogmatic and stubborn like alot of presidents are about various things (fully without reason and often defying logic).

Also, you don’t know me at all, so where do you get off assuming anything regarding my opinion of Obama?

I'm just assuming based on most rabid anti-Trumpers. You don't necessarily belong in that predisposed grouping, but a large majority of anti-Trumpers do. They have no perspective at all, and can't measure things up against each other or see things in context.

While I don’t completely disagree with everything in your post, I’ve seen enough to know further dialogue on this subject with you is waste of both of our time.

I don't really care, as I am not really that interested in Trump. I'm more interested in the "system", including the propaganda-media. And he is very right and brave in pointing out that the media is a bunch of liars, propagandists and brainwashers. That's one issue where he has gained some credit in my book, because it is a huge problem, and should be a priority for not only US society to solve, but also European ones. Some people talk about RT, but that's ridiculous. However bad you think RT is, our media is actually ALOT worse. But people tend to be blind when it comes to their group and "themselves", and get fully clouded by emotions, so they cannot see the reality and rather want to believe in wishful thinking and delusions.

Thus the classical "we good, they bad" ooga booga.
 
The President of the United States following the rules and doing what he is supposed to be doing is rarely news regardless of his political lean. The President of the United States involved in scandals of his own making are always going to be news, again regardless of his political lean.

If you don't like the MSM's coverage of a Republican president, you should have voted for a different Republican. You asked for controversy and you got it.

What does it matter where truth comes from. Instead of addressing the information presented you to attack the presenter. a frequent tactic of the left when they can't refute the truth! And, I would point out that your ENGLISH PHRASES aren't that eloquent either. I'm a retired chemist ,not an english major. President Trump is doing a great Job and anypne with an I.Q. above 50 can see that !!!!!

It's a toxic club of liars and propagandists. Why even bother to take them serious at all? in reality they are charlatans and criminals and should be dragged out of their propaganda bureau and put in jail.

Flush out the despicable criminals, ban them from journalism for life, and let other journalists take over. Sweep them away and let the market for journalism be free once again. That doesn't remove press freedom, it just removes the mafia and replaces them with real journalists. Remove all owners of those organisations and put these companies on the free market, remove all boards and replace them with an obligatory rotating board of those new free journalists who make up the organisation instead of some mafia bosses who control their subordinates.

It's a good solution. It will not infringe on the free media. It will just sweep house and free the media from the current chokehold. Let people from all walks of lives take over, and give real journalists a chance to become professionals in large media organisations.

Whoa there. First Amendment buddy. I understand your disdain for the media. It's entertainment now, like reality t.v. - which has been perpetuated by a president who is incessantly spouting off whatever comes to mind on Twitter. Insults, threats, demands, etc. Not presidential in any context. You can speak your mind in an articulate manner without insulting others. It's comical how easily goaded he is and God help you if he feels slighted in the least. I prefer a leader, not a boss.

I do know the constitutional issue, and well, the only interest I have in saying this is to make sure the media is free. Could you in a theoretical case say there is freedom of the press in the US if say Amazon controlled all the media? I mean 100%, and just as an example. "Abridging" means to "shorten" I think or in other words "reduce". But what if the government took steps to make sure press freedom was increased in a situation where press freedom has been reduced by other organisations than the government? Would that really infringe on the first amendment?

And in any case, I was not talking about the government taking these actions, I was talking about the people taking such actions and chasing these liars and propagandists out of their offices and before a court, letting their organizations collapse and let new ones rise in their place, new and free media, as opposed to the laughable media that exists today.

Just clear it all away and let a new free media grown in it's place.

I support your stand on the US constitution btw, I think it is very important that the US upholds it. Unfortunately it has been constantly infringed upon and many parts of it is slowly being removed. I think this is a damn shame, and I don't know what the solution is.. I guess in the end it is the people who have to protect the constitution. It seems your courts wount do it, and more and more the courts has become nothing more than an extension of the political parties and the political system.
 
I'd like it if I was a "pest killer" yes. But regarding myself as a pesticide is a bit overcomplimentary from your side.

I do like to point out when the trolls leave their caves though, and shine a bright flash of light at them.
 
Do you have another account with DDT as your screen name?

No, they don't.. I chose the name because I'm a pesticide that's going to help eradicate the disease of Liberalism !

Odd choice of pesticide to use as a screen name, considering that DDT is banned in America.

Perhaps if he stopped creating immature tweets and talking a pack of lies the reporting would not be so negative. Or would prefer the press ignore and hand wave away his idiocies much like his supporters do on a daily basis. I say the press is doing a great job.

Liberals? Have you noticed how many ex republicans are also bashing trump? Don't blame the press coverage for being negative, he gets what he deserves and most of it is negative. What other presidents in our history have bad mouthed in public everything about america? He doesn't like the press, he doesn't trust his own intelligence officials, he thinks the institutions of america are all against him. The FBI is the enemy creating the witch hunt, people around him getting charged and going to jail. Everyone in his administration talking to russians and then lying about it. Not condemning the white nationalist/nazis in america saying instead there are good people on both sides. Doing nothing about the saudi journalist who worked for the washington post after saying there would be severe consequences, saying he believes putin over his own intelligence experts. Yeah, he's great. If the right doesn't wake up and start to challenge this con man, the GOP will be in dire straights come 2020. Only his die hard supporters don't see this man is a clear and present danger to america.

The economy is reported, as is the upcoming summit. Unfortunately Rump sucks the oxygen out of such coverage with his moronic tweets and such.
