I’m pretty sure I already posted this once. It’s a graphic produced by a Harvard group that did a study on the news coverage President Trump has received from the media hereabouts and across the pond. If there’s been any change, it hasn’t been in Donald Trump’s favor.
Please note that Fox News does not give the president anything like unremittingly positive coverage. I’ve learned from personal experience that what we hear from the news media is at best exaggerated and at worst utterly false (for lack of a better word, propaganda.) And I’m only talking about relatively neutral things–from the weather to the political conditions in another country. News people know we can’t just drop everything and fly off to Guatemala or even South Carolina to see whether or not they’re being straight with us. On the few occasions I’ve had the opportunity to verify, I’ve found the media to be so far over the top that I can only describe it as lying. And THAT is just for ratings. Imagine if they have a political horse to power across the finish line. These are not honest people. They’re actors with a role to play and an agenda to enact. This is supposed to be a republic. They are supposed to tell us the truth, but they do not. We aren’t obligated to believe them, just because other people choose to do so.
(Edited to add:) By the way, I have contested and continue to contest that certain democratic politicians–men whose politics I absolutely detest and whom I consider to be hypocrites and posers using their constituency merely to continue accruing political power and wealth–should NOT have been drummed out of office on the mere accusation of impropriety. I’ve even written to them and encouraged them to stay and insist on due process. Not because I think they were innocent; I don’t know. If they haven’t confessed, I want them to get due process. If they’re found innocent and their constituency still believes in their guilt, then THEY and they alone should “fire” them at the next election. Due process is THAT important to our nation. People’s lives shouldn’t be ruined over the mere rumor–unproven–of wrong-doing.
