How do you know that the legacy media are lying about President Donald Trump? They’re talking about him.
It’s got to the stage where nothing at all the legacy media say about President Trump should be believed. If CNN reported that Trump was alive, I’d check the obituary columns.
Qualitative surveys have shown that media coverage of Trump is overwhelmingly negative – currently running at 93%. Which, perhaps not coincidentally, is close to the percentage of media figures who financially support the Democrat party.
Anti-Trump liberals (i.e., Democrats and the media) just have to find something — anything — wrong with the president, even if it means making it up.
The perpetually not-President Hillary Clinton on Monday shared a side-by-side photo of the White House, one lit up in a rainbow spectrum from 2015, when Barack Obama was in office, and the other appearing almost in pitch black with no lighting. “Elections matter,” tweeted Clinton.
Former Obama adviser David Axelrod shared the same image of the darkened White House, calling it “perfect symbolism,” because, “if ever the country needed the occupant of the White House to shed light, and not heat, now is the time. Sadly, the lights are out.”
There was only one problem: it was a complete lie.
It turns out the photo passed off as a metaphor for Trump’s apathy toward police brutality and racism was actually, like the rainbow White House, from the Obama years.
So pervasive was that meme on social media that the Associated Press was moved to fact-check and let liberals know that, sorry, the slam dunk on Trump was actually an embarrassing rebound.
People even started saying Trump was “hiding in his bunker” and the lights went out — until a CNN reporter pointed out the main lights always go out at 11 p.m.
When even CNN is calling bullshit on anti-Trump propaganda, you know the jig is up.
Even the “bunker” story appeared to be completely made up. Not one source was named or identified in any of the stories.
The media are spinning lies out of nothing at all.
It’s not as if this hasn’t happened before. Recall the images of “children in cages” that were all the rage heading into summer 2018, passed off as demonstrable proof that the Trump administration was taking a needlessly callous hard line in locking up illegal immigrants.
Those photos ended up being from 2014, again, when Obama was president.
Trump is pilloried while the sainted Obama gets a free pass.
Then the looting, destruction and violence sparked in Minneapolis, Atlanta, Louisville and Washington, DC.
That was apparently Trump’s fault, too […]
Liberal Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote Monday that the riots and destruction we’re seeing “are the wages of Trump’s hate-filled incumbency.”
The always-hysterical Don Lemon on CNN said late last week that Trump has “contributed” to the “environment” we’re now experiencing.
Well, OK – then that means that the race riots in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 were the wages of Obama’s incumbency.
Of course not. The media’s lies work both ways. The same media who lied about “lights out” also lie about the “scandal-free Obama presidency”.
