I am currently watching the Trump 4th of July Rally

I did say other "minor" outlets did. I was pointing out that on Cable/regular TV at the time I checked none of the Major outlets were. I also searched YouTube, and then did a quick Internet search limiting it to the last hour.

Why would the major outlets carry that kind of crap?

Trump Uses Mount Rushmore Speech to Deliver Divisive Culture War Message

The scene at Mount Rushmore was the latest sign of how Mr. Trump appears, by design or default, increasingly disconnected from the intense concern among Americans about the health crisis gripping the country. More than just a partisan rally, it underscored the extent to which Mr. Trump is appealing to a subset of Americans to carry him to a second term by changing the subject and appealing to fear and division.

I have been watching the 4th of July rally/speech in front of the Mt. Rushmore national monument.

It is showing on this YouTube site:



It is one of several Fox sites, all showing it, and there are a few small channels also showing it.

Do you know who is NOT showing it?

ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, MSNBC, either live on TV or online. I just checked at the time of posting this thread.

They are all devoting their time to the usual "regular news," and anti-Administration commentary.

If this had been any other President, national networks would be showing the entire presentation.

Instead, I'll wager that there are recordings being made which will be analyzed and picked apart for those other "major outlets" and their subsidiaries. Why? IMO so as to show later with appropriate "commentary" in whatever way they think can do the most damage to the President.

Either directly by taking his statements out of context, or via misrepresenting him all to present him in the worst light possible.

IF this had been ANY other President he would have had a unifying message for ALL AmeirCANs instead of a divisive factional demining message for HIS base that pits them against ... ALL other AmierCANs.

I try to listen to the SOB, but about the time he goes full combat on the MAJORITY of AmeriCANs I can't listen anymore; and that doesn't take him long SO his message is lost on me.
 
Captain Adverse said:
You miss the point.

The point being that IF Democrat-run cities and States were successful in their avowed policies, THEN they would be the last place for rioting and unrest to occur.

Yet instead we find that almost all the major and middle-size cities which are run by Democrat-controlled governments are where the problems are occurring.

If the Democrat Party is the People's Party, then why are areas they control so Problematic?
Click to expand...


BUT? Why? Are those problems "occurring"? Shall we go back to Nixon and the debasing of OUR currency or shall we just begin at Reagan, ALL rules that protected AmeriCAN jobs were abandoned and laws that ENCOURAGED offshoring of Capitol and Jobs came into play? Where do we start with "REPUBLICAN" dismantling of the AmeiriCAN dream?

Democratic Cities and States have been the Bulwark in the fight against unlimited and unrestrained Capitalism that has transferred more wealth to the very few from the Middle Class and Poor than ever before in history.

When did unity get entered into the progressive playbook?

There isn't anything more disgusting than hearing a progressive calling for unity while cheering on thugs burning down cities.

You are wrong. Campaign rallies were never televised pre Trump.

Get over your conspiracy life and stop being a pathetic victim.

Fox is a propaganda outlet for the GOP, it is not a news service like ABC, CNN, NBC.....

Yep. That's how pathetic Trump has become. I suppose some media conspiracy is preferable to the fact that most Americans hate him, and news networks understand that airing footage of paint drying would have less people changing the channel. :shrug:

We've talked a few times over the last four years about the consequences of electing an asshole. At this point this complain thread is weird. Happy 4th of July...and **** Donald Trump.
 
A Trump foot soldier watching his father figure (a crook and con man), telling us about it and including a Fox link.

Shocker.


And really funny.
 
besides faux, i could see Comedy Central covering tweety rallies, but only if they speed it up 2x and put Yakety Sax in the background.

Indoctrination is not only by what the "news" shows people but what they hide from them.

This current crop of political activists are the ones responsible for destroying America. It is a dereliction of their duty to not show his speech. Shameless and open hostility and indoctrination by omission. Little wonder the feeble leftist minds hate Trump.

Perhaps it because it's really a trump campaign rally and the Fireworks are costing $600,000?
 
Lursa said:
But the media cant control what the protesters do. Nor can they control what The Donald does...however The Donald is supposed to *do the right thing.*

Should the media just not show either? Or which do you think they should show?

IMO both. Those not being led by the nose by partisanship and capable of separating fact from fiction will condemn it, as it should be. IMO The Donald has pretty much given up on appealing to anything but his followers. This kind of stunt appeals to them. He's betting there are enough of them to vote him back in in Nov.

Polls are showing he's backing the wrong horse. As are his followers.

The media fails to report the full facts, their messaging is skewed based on their biases and the idea of a congruent message is non-existent. For example, before the death of George Floyd, the media was ravenous about COVID-19, the masks, social distancing and other safety guidelines. Suddenly, at the end of May, it was as if COVID-19 had been cured: hundreds of thousands of rioters and protesters poured out on the street, San Francisco residents gathered in the thousands to celebrate pride, CHOP residents barricaded several city blocks in Seattle, etc. and these events were like the second coming of Jesus. Now we are back to pre-George Floyd times.

Good idea. Wait until you’re told what to think about it before you weigh in on it.

Fox solves that problem by filling the real news with ads for the opinion shows complete with the settled narratives of the day.

Is that better than analysis after the fact?

At the end of the day, folks watch him say stuff. Then your media tells us what he really meant about 24hrs later.

At the end of the day it was just a performance of a speech carefully designed to elicit strong emotional responses in his target demographic.

Without y'all's conditioning it just sounds deranged.

Deranged was novel at first. Now even that has been done to death.

I think trumps latest reality show is not gonna be picked up for four more seasons.

Production costs are just too high.

I'm not going to defend Trump .. he's done some ridiculous things I don't agree with; however, the lack of congruency with the media on what Trump says/doesn't say on masks and the mass protests and riots going on across the United States is nothing but ridiculous. There has been contradictory statements with "the experts" on masks it's difficult to take public health "experts" seriously.
Click to expand...

Common sense says that a virus that travels on droplets will be constrained by anything that catches any of those droplets.

Last I saw we're not seeing spikes associated with the protests. Which would both make sense and be good news. Most are wearing masks. And they're outside and moving most of the time.

Which means that it transmits less in the open air and masks allowed them to do what they felt was their civic duty and right without spreading the virus much.

And that is obviously physically different than cramming people shoulder to shoulder where wearing a mask is a sign of disloyalty.

And every day it looks more like his entourage are an immediate threat to public health with all the infections they're seeing. And traveling all over the country with.
 
jotathought said:
Why are masks only important at Trump rallies?
Click to expand...

Because they aren't wearing them to show fealty to dear leader and his imagination.

Are they only showing you the folks not wearing masks in your media? Because most are in actual reality.

And we would appreciate it if the other maskholes would wear them too.
 
The channels not showing it at least seem to be learning a lesson from 2016: do not give Trump free advertising to air his campaign speeches.
 
Aurora said:
Poorly. You don't need a leader to tell you to wear a mask. Use your own brain and think for yourself. Democrat leadership had no issue with the protesters and Covid. It fit their political needs. Condemning Trump over Covid fits the lefts political goals. You can stay at home if you are in fear.
Click to expand...

So you only consume conservative media.

Because all the other media was fretting about the potential for new outbreaks the whole time.

Whcih haven't manifested, last I heard.

Which would be good news if your idiot in chief hadn't decided to make masks a sign of disloyalty.

Because that means that out in the open and wearing masks actually works. Which would allow us to be safer in more situations, thus speeding up reopening.
