The Media's "Bullying" Whine

July 7, 2017  Daniel Greenfield  16

 

"Bullying" is a common refrain by the media these days.

"She took the opportunity first thing off the bat to go after the media," he said. "She was trying to go after CNN specifically and the media in general. We've been called the enemy of the people from that White House, we've been told that we're fake news."
"We are bullied and browbeaten every day, and I pretty much have had enough of it," he said. "We can't take the bullying anymore. It's undermining the fourth estate, it's undermining the first amendment."

The media isn't being bullied. It's the bully. ...................To Read More....


Media Shocked to Discover Trump’s Tough Talk on Trade is… Working!

By Onan Coca July 7, 2017 
 

Let me begin this by stating, unequivocally, that I am a supporter of “real” free trade. In fact, candidate Trump’s rhetoric on trade was one of the reasons I preferred other candidates during the GOP primary. However, the President himself has argued that he is also for free trade… as long as it is “fair” trade as well. In this, he has an important point to make. ..........

CNN Death Spiral Has Doomed Network at 10th Place in Ratings

By Andrew West July 7, 2017
 

When we look back at CNN’s stumble into obscurity, there is one characteristic of the network that will be remembered as their Achilles’ heel: Their inability to choose the right battles. As Donald Trump was beginning to unravel the doomed democratic nominee Hillary Clinton back in 2016, CNN was provided with a foothold into the Trump resistance from Clinton herself, with her absurd and uncouthly interjected conspiracy theory that the eventual President was truly acting as a Russian operative. While completely dumbfounding on the surface, CNN chose to chase the story regardless, and picked a fight with a man who would go on to reside within the White House. ...........The sooner the world is rid of CNN, the sooner we may find partisan peace..........

FAKE NEWS NONSENSE: Media Minds Melted by Trump’s Putin Handshake

By Andrew West July 7, 2017
 

Today’s largest headline has been underscored by even more ridiculous reporting on what occurred, subtly, just moments before. The much-anticipated meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin took place today on the sidelines of the ongoing G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.  The two leaders have been embroiled in a number of controversial maneuvers from well before Trump took office in January, thanks to the fake news mainstream media insisting that Putin and the Kremlin interfered in the 2016 U.S. election; a theory made popular by doomed democratic candidate Hillary Clinton in a weak attempt to preemptively create excuses for her impending failure at the polls...........
 
CNN Talking Head Claims You Have “No Right to Be Anonymous” 
By Andrew West July 7, 2017

Liberals haven’t had much respect for personal privacy in recent years, but this latest statement by a CNN analyst is absolutely dumbfounding. In our modern world, rife with cybercrime and identity theft, anonymity is a highly valued commodity.  With so many of us trusting corporations with sensitive information regarding on a regular basis, the ability to mask our identities has become a booming business via the internet.  Every time that you’re typing your last 4 digits of your Social Security number into a form on a website, that information could be compromised.  With that, your birthday, and some light Googling, the most adept cybercriminals can easily wreak havoc on your credit rating…or worse.

That is precisely why our abilities to not be constantly monitored or tracked by any entity is highly important.  Our ability to ensure our own privacy is part and parcel to our ability to keep ourselves and our families safe.

And that is why what one CNN analyst has said on Twitter this week has Americans scratching their heads............

CNN Cuomo takes aim at online anonymity: ‘Own your words with identity’ July 5th, 2017

By Kyle Olson

A host who works for a network that has built its recent success on anonymous leaks critical of the Donald Trump administration is now condemning the notion of acting anonymously online.
After CNN investigated and exposed a Reddit user for creating a meme showing President Trump body-slamming a wrestler with the CNN logo superimposed over his face, CNN hosts and panelists rushed to buttress the stunning attack.  Morning host Chris Cuomo was one of the most vocal:...........

CNN host giddy after network threatens to expose Trump GIF creator
July 5th, 2017 By Kyle Olson While most people were celebrating America with their friends and families on July 4th, CNN was waging war against a Reddit user who supposedly created a GIF of Donald Trump body-slamming someone with the network’s logo superimposed over his face.
This is what started it all:.........

How is CNN Not Embarrassed?

Melissa Mackenzie

 

A random person created the silly gif of Trump body-slamming CNN, which President Trump then tweeted. It’s important to remember that this was the precipitating event that lead CNN to use its myriad resources to seek out the random person and threaten exposure and shame …for creating a stupid gif.    CNN’s editorial bias and noxious behavior predates the stupid gif. Chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta got in a shouting match with President Trump. Trump, in turn, called CNN Fake News. Of course, “Fake News” is now, itself, a memeThere is tension................The Trump presidency has revealed much about the supposed hoary heads of the news media. Their nugatory natterings create self-marginalization. So be it..............

CNN Is Breeding a Post-Millennial Generation of MAGA-Loving Rebels
Tiana Lowe

                           

It has become crystal clear that CNN still has no clue why Hillary and the establishment lost. On the Fourth of July, CNN managed to out-petty the president, further corrode its credibility, and kick-start the Trump 2020 ground game in one fell swoop. After President Trump tweeted a modified GIF of himself at an old pro-wrestling match, in which he is seen clobbering a man with the CNN logo superimposed on his head, CNN chose the low road. Rather than denounce the president’s tweet as unpresidential and move on with actual journalism, the network instead had a public, 72-hour meltdown, which included an inane hunt to punish the creator of the meme that apparently originated on r/The_Donald, a pro-Trump Internet forum on Reddit.............

The Media is Unprofessional, Incompetent and Useless

July 6, 2017 Daniel Greenfield  21 

 

While the media launches its latest tirade against Trump, here's a reminder of how incompetent it has become.  The argument with which the mainstream media journalists manned the barricades against bloggers was that they were professionals. They didn't do stupid things like confuse an obvious parody Twitter account with an official statement from the North Korean government.  Here's the correction from the New York Times..........
