Dishonest Media Misleads
World on Trump…Again
President Donald Trump
is so right about how the liberal media is so dishonest. The weekend kerfuffle over the size of the
crowd witnessing Trump’s inauguration is just the latest example.
The story the press wanted to put out was that Trump’s
support was weak. As such, on Friday it
posted and peddled a photo of the Washington Mall during President Barack Obama’s 2009 inauguration – in which
white floor coverings over the grass were NOT used – and compared that
side-by-side to a similar photo of the Mall during Trump’s inauguration in
which white landscape coverings WERE used.
Apples to oranges.
Very dishonest to compare the two and try to draw a conclusion that
there wasn’t tremendous support for and attendance at Trump’s swearing-in
ceremony.
On Saturday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer took the dishonest “fake
news” media to task, pointing out – and here’s the full quote – “This was the
largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period, both in person and
around the globe.”
The dishonest “fake news” media immediately pounced;
literally calling Spicer a “liar.” Over and over and over and over and over and
over again.
But the only way they could get away with claiming Spicer
lied was to completely ignore the part where Spicer SPECIFICALLY said “both in
person and around the globe.”
Not just in attendance in person on the Mall. AROUND…THE…GLOBE. And that includes watching electronically, not
just on regular TV.
Which is the other way the dishonest media tried to minimize
the size of the audience. It cited
standard U.S. television ratings only.
It didn’t bother to acknowledge that this inauguration – thanks to technology
advances that weren’t even around in 2009 – was the most-watched inauguration
on streaming and social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook that don’t
show up in Neilson’s ratings.
So while the “fake news” media was focusing only on live
attendance on the Mall and people watching on traditional television channels
in the U.S., Spicer SPECIFICALLY talked about EVERYBODY who witnessed the
inauguration from “around the globe” - including on smart-phones, tablets,
laptops and desktop computers.
Indeed, both parties were relying on facts…but different
facts. Or as White House Senior Advisor Kellyanne Conway put it, “alternative
facts” – something else the dishonest media misrepresented and blew up way out
of proportion.
Both sets of facts were generally true. But one set of facts was chosen by the media
to put Trump in the worst possible light while the other set of facts highlighted
by the White House portrayed the president in a more positive – and, frankly, more
accurate - light.
This is exactly what Spicer was talking about when he
lectured the media on Saturday for its “shameful and wrong” efforts “to lessen
the enthusiasm of the inauguration” by minimizing “the enormous support” and
interest in President Trump’s swearing-in ceremony “around the globe.”
This dishonest media – and especially CNN – will NEVER
give Donald Trump a fair shake. It will ALWAYS
look for even the most trivial negative no matter what this president
does. If Trump himself discovers a cure
for cancer tomorrow, CNN will spend the day criticizing him for taking so long.
It’s gonna be a long eight years.
Cheers.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“President Trump took the first step in keeping his campaign promise to be a pro-life president by signing an executive order that re-institutes President Reagan’s Mexico City Policy. The Mexico City Policy denies funding to foreign organizations that ‘perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations.’ . . . 70 percent of Americans, many of whom are ‘pro-choice’ in regards to abortion, oppose taxpayer funding of abortion. Whatever Americans think of abortion, they do not support taxpayer funding for abortion.” – Melissa Clement, president, Nevada Right to Life
