It was MSNBC that got Trump off to a good start at the beginning of the primaries. They gave Trump more air time than any other candidate. They would show Trump's full speeches but only show short clips of Clinton and hardly any of Sanders. This went on for months and MSNBC gave Trump 10 times the air time than FOX gave Trump.
Worse, MSNBC would not even call Trump a liar when he clearly lied. Apparently it was left up to the people to decide if Trump was lying, or not. That's horrible journalism. The public counts on reporters to tell us the true facts so we know who is lying, or who is not. Highlighting lies is not biased reporting. MSNBC would cancel their prime time shows just to get the ratings that went with airing Trump. That's when I gave up watching MSNBC, they were more interested in ratings than good reporting.
Then we had Wallace of FOX news say, it was not his job to discern the truth of the answers he got when asking the candidates questions. His father would be appalled. We report, you decide does not mean reporting lies that were proven lies. The whole media were nothing but ratings whores during the primaries and the election. Americans are easily swayed and all that extra air time on all the networks probably had as much to do with Trump winning, than anything else. I was disgusted by all the networks biased coverage of Trump.
So I was pleasantly surprised today when I got up to watch the Sunday news programs (FOX, MSNBC, and CBS) to see all the networks calling Trump a liar and putting it to the Trump spokespeople who were interviewed. The Trump spokespeople looked bad trying to evade the factual charges that Trump lied multiple times the day before.
Mr. Spicer (Trumps press spokesman) called an impromptu press conference and came out to blast the press about saying the public turnout for Trump's inauguration was much less than the turnout for Obama's inauguration. Mr. Spicer said, the public turnout for Trump's inauguration was the largest in history, period. A claim easily proven a lie. The pettiness of making that a big deal by the Trump administration, is typical, egotistical Trump.
Then there was Trump giving a speech at the CIA offices saying the CIA were his buddies, they are the greatest, he had their backs. After saying just a few days before that the intelligence community was like the Nazis. If the media had taken this tact with Trump during the primaries, I doubt Trump would have won.
Only Dervish is a worse liar than Trump. He still claims I'm pro Trump, laughable. Dervish will steal this post and post it under one of his many alter egos. He usually posts as TOM, then of course, lies and claims I'm TOM.

As a HUGE liar yourself, I'd think you'd be laughing your ass off over this situation. The truth is that YOU are a worse liar than Trump. You spam content from your blog to other sites. I've seen you do it many times at WYD. You probably spam other blogs as well. For example, you JUST submitted this post as a comment to my blog! So right there is the proof that it's YOU who is doing this. SO STUPID of you to claim that it is me. WHY IN THE HELL would I copy you and spam your content to other blogs?
ReplyDeleteTOM is your account. Proven here. Also by the fact that you have 3 TOM (Stay A While) posts published on your blog. I didn't do that! (I refer to #11, #12 & #32).
Luke: If the media had taken this tact with Trump during the primaries, I doubt Trump would have won.
Sounds like you're being a crybaby. As per the message you JUST submitted to my blog, "Blame it on everything you can LOSER CRYBABY!!". Hypocrite!
Although I took you at your word when you said you were rooting for Trump. Which is why I "claim" you're pro-Trump. If you didn't want him to win you wouldn't have rooted for him.
Just noticed that TOM (AKA Luke) submitted his post as a comment to the WYD blog, AS PROMISED. And he used his TOM 02464117691722213136 account, the one I know for sure is his (as opposed to the TOM 14210479399761047671 account). That one's probably him too. But the one ending in 136 is the TOM account that has trolled me for several years, while the one ending in 671 seems to be fairly new.
ReplyDeleteAs for Luke's response to his own comment (as TOM) "I knew you wouldn't let me down Dervish/TOM. Thanks for proving me correct"... he promises to publish his post on WYD, does it, then responds (as Luke) with a predictable "I knew it". And refers to me as "Dervish/TOM". Everyone knows that YOU are TOM, moron.
