Media launches full frontal on Trump, Gun Owners.

Posted: Aug 10, 2016

regarding the dangers a Hillary Clinton-nominated Supreme Court poses to the Second Amendment, media outlets around the world responded by intimating Trump was suggesting violence against Clinton. The media allegations were so extreme, they not only insulted Trump but gun owners as well.... Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook seized on the first two lines of Trump’s statement and alleged Trump was suggesting “violence.” The media followed suit almost immediately. Salon ran a column titled, “Did Trump Just Threaten Hillary? ‘Second Amendment people’ ought to influence Clinton’s SCOTUS nominees.” The Guardian ran one titled, “Trump Hints At Assassination of Hillary Clinton by gun rights supporters” and Huffington Post ran one titled, “Elizabeth Warren Fires Back at ‘Pathetic Coward’ Donald Trump After Assassination Suggestion.” CBS New York ran a title that was a little more nuanced, but insulting to Trump and gun owners nonetheless. It was titled, “Trump: Maybe ‘Second Amendment People’ Could Stop Clinton From Picking Judges.” CBS clearly missed the context of Trump’s statement. He was not talking about “Second Amendment people” stopping Clinton or harming Clinton. Rather, he was talking as James Madison did in Federalist 46, when Madison explained that the people are armed so they can defend themselves against an overreaching government. Such action is defensive, not offensive. And the context was that the government will be in full overreach mode if Clinton is elected and gets to fill the Supreme Court with liberals. The Hollywood Reporter quoted director Rob Reiner taking Trump’s statement out of context as well. Reiner suggested Trump should now be disqualified from running for president, saying, “It’s not as though there haven’t been political assassinations in our country, there have been. So you have to say that this kind of thing disqualifies him.” ;

The media bias is so bad, I was up watching this nonstop onslaught - by CBC, but only 60 seconds on Clinton's emai

This is unbelievable, the constant demonizing of Trump.

This from the party that gave us a full length feature movie fantasizing about the assassination of President Bush.

Trump just threatened to have shot the former Secretary of State and the current Democratic candidate. He also encouraged Russia to hack into our very own computer system, compromising our national security, just to aid his campaign. See the difference? Trump demonizes himself.

MSM is having a field day with this. Standard operating procedure - for them.

They are in the tank for Hillary at all costs. There one and only mission is to attack Trump for every ridiculous thing no matter what. It will be this way until the election.

Gun owners are the most law abiding citzens - of all Americans, report finds.

Concealed-carry permit holders are nearly the most law-abiding demographic of Americans, a new report by the Crime Prevention Research Center says—comparing the permit holders foremost with police.

“Indeed, it is impossible to think of any other group in the U.S. that is anywhere near as law-abiding,” says the report, titled “Concealed Carry Permit Holders Across the United States 2016.”

Liberal media bias has long been an "open secret" but now - it's so bad that even a liberal

mainstream newspaper notes that, in an effort to destroy Donald Trump, the media have jumped the shark.

In a Los Angeles Times piece, columnist Justin Raimondo writes that to “fight Trump, journalists have dispensed with objectivity”; he then asks, “Why are the rules of journalism being rewritten this election year?” He also theorizes that the pro-Hillary Clinton bias has become so blatant it may actually backfire on the media.

As his first example, Raimondo cites how the media present out of context Trump’s statement that the Russians should release Clinton’s 30,000 “lost” e-mails, portraying an obvious joke as dangerous encouragement of foreign espionage. On this count Raimondo makes a good point, though: If the e-mails are all “personal,” as Clinton has maintained, how could they threaten national security?

Even more strikingly, the media have engaged in outright collusion with Democrat operatives. As Raimondo reports:

DNC emails, published by Wikileaks, reveal a stunning level of collaboration between important media outlets and the Democrats. Former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz sought to silence NBC’s Mika Brzezinski, who had found fault with the DNC’s role in the primaries. The emails have headings like “This must stop.” Incredibly, NBC’s Chuck Todd agreed to act as a go-between, even arranging a call between Wasserman Schultz and Brzezinski. Which raises the question: Why was a major media figure taking his marching orders from the Democratic party chair — and how did this affect his network’s coverage of the Trump campaign?

The DNC emails also show that Politico reporter Kenneth Vogel sent his copy for a story on Clinton’s fundraising operation to the DNC’s national press secretary, Mark Paustenbach, prior to publication. Politico has since apologized, but Vogel has his defenders. The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple said Vogel’s “prepublication generosity” was meant to give “the people you’re writing about … the opportunity to rebut all relevant claims in a story.” One wonders if the Washington Post does this for the Trump campaign. Somehow I doubt it.

Yet it must be pointed out that, contrary to Raimondo’s assertion, media rules aren’t being rewritten; written long ago, they’re just more devoutly embraced with each succeeding media degeneration. For example:

• In 2004, famed newsman Dan Rather’s career was ended when it was discovered that he had peddled forged documents purporting to show that President George W. Bush had shirked his Texas Air National Guard duties in the 1960s and 1970s.

• In 2010, there was the JournoList Scandal, involving an online meeting place in which journalists would conspire to slant the news; this proved that not all media bias was unintentional.

• The media happily reported the claim that WWII-era pontiff Pius XII was “Hitler’s Pope.” Yet they just as happily ignored an even bigger story: the 2007 revelation that the allegation was a malicious fabrication promoted by a Soviet disinformation campaign.

• While the media can’t let go of the Catholic Church sex scandal, they ignore the child sex abuse in government schools, a phenomenon a federally funded study found was 100 times the magnitude of the church scandal. In fact, the researchers evaluated a certain time period and discovered that California’s 61 biggest newspapers ran 2,000 stories about the church scandal but only four about the school scandal.

• The media gratuitously report stories of police shootings of black criminal suspects, despite these occurrences having declined 75 percent during the last few decades. Yet while the police not only shoot more whites but, according to studies, are actually more likely to do so, such events are never widely publicized. This lends the illusion that blacks are under assault, creates racial unrest, and has led to the “retaliatory” murder of cops.

• In 2012, NBC heavily doctored George Zimmerman’s 911 call in a manner many describe as malicious, as it did a cut-and-paste job that made him appear bigoted.

The above is, of course, just a short list. In addition, there’s also the “everyday” bias, such as calling statist politicians with anti-immigration policies (e.g., France’s Marine Le Pen) “right-wing” while refusing to call socialists such as Francois Hollande left-wing; branding semi-automatic rifles “assault weapons”; and labeling pro-life people “anti-abortion” and pro-abortion people “pro-choice.” And then there’s social-media bias, which is just as profound and which I reported on here and here.

And this bias has a devastating effect. The media are the people’s conduit of information, and how can Americans make the right decisions regarding politicians and policies if they’re given misinformation? As with a computer, it’s garbage in, garbage out.

And what is the nature of the political litterbugs? In his 2011 book Left Turn, UCLA political science professor Tim Groseclose quotes “a well-known poll in which Washington correspondents declared that they vote Democratic 93 percent to 7 percent,” writes U.S. News. The site continues:

As a result, he says, most reporters write with a liberal filter. "Using objective, social-scientific methods, the filtering prevents us from seeing the world as it actually is. Instead, we see only a distorted version of it. It is as if we see the world through a glass — a glass that magnifies the facts that liberals want us to see and shrinks the facts that conservatives want us to see."

He adds: "That bias makes us more liberal, which makes us less able to detect the bias, which allows the media to get away with more bias, which makes us even more liberal."

And this sways elections. As Groseclose also wrote, "Media bias aids Democratic candidates by about 8 to 10 percentage points in a typical election. I find, for instance, that if media bias didn't exist, John McCain would have defeated Barack Obama 56 percent to 42 percent [in 2008], instead of losing 53-46."

I’ve often quipped that the Democrats have the world’s most effective public-relations team: the U.S. media. And what of Raimondo’s theory that their now bare-naked bias may inspire a backlash that elects Trump? Such a phenomenon would likely just diminish, but not completely negate, the Democrat-buttressing effects of media manipulation. With only six percent of Americans approving of the media, though, Trump would be wise to portray himself as the opponent of this fourth estate-cum-fifth column. It’s morally fitting, too, to run against a group that is running against America.

saying exactly the same thing, same take on stories, same snarky comments, everything. In the early 2000s their favorite words were gravitas and hubris.

I noticed starting with the endless coverage of Clinton's foibles that you could flip from channel to channel and hear journalists and guests alike using exactly the same catch-phrases, over and over again.

It became rather obvious that they were all reading from the same talking-points memos. It became rather impossible to take these people seriously after that. The word would come down, and suddenly they were all pounding away at "gravitas", suddenly "it doesn't rise to the level of impeachment", do you remember "if you strike the king, you'd better kill the king"? That went around for a while. What the heck did that mean?

These people are an embarrassment.

There definitely is monkey-see, monkey do-do in the media.

Example: Rush Limbaugh went to Afghanistan by invitation early in 2005 as things at that time were going quite well, and Monday morning on the news they report "new terrorism threats in Afghanistan", attempting to pre-condition Americans against anything Rush might say. This happens over and over as you Rush listeners know.

Liberals founds ways to trivialize Bush for eight years. Pounding, pounding, pounding away day after day until people believed the lies.

Your dismissal of a woman with a previous head concussion not having health issues with history of multiple falls, double vision, strange spastic moves having nothing to do with her ability to perform duties as president tells me you are a supporter of Hillary but trying to be less obvious as other diehards.

I am not nervous about Trump opening mouth and inserting foot, I am nervous about why the liberal media is so biased. Are they afraid Trump is going to rock the political good old boy corruption network where corporate/lobbyist bribes are acceptable in exchange for corporation favorable laws made by corrupt politicians?

I am not fond of either of the candidates but I do favor Trump over Hillary because of her establishment politics where it is CLEAR she took money from Goldman-Sachs/Wall Street and laws were made in their favor. I tend to trust someone more who does not owe big business or lobbyists anything and believes in his ability enough to finances his own campaign.

The continuous lies and scandals surrounding the Clintons for years are troubling. Hillary's judgement after a serious head injury is questionable. As she ages with a previous head injury and history of falls, she has no where to go but down health-wise considering her questionable health 2016.

You give all of this Clinton activity a pass?

I suppose there are some sane people who are Trump supporters but for the violent or borderline violent who we have seen at all of his rallies, this is clearly an incitement to action.

Her remarks were met with quick criticism from the campaign of Senator Barack Obama, and within hours of making them Mrs. Clinton expressed regret, saying, “The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy,” referring to the recent diagnosis of Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s brain tumor. She added, “And I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive.”

Should she have said that? - No of course not

[ In Reply To ..]
But she was not calling for anyone to assassinate Obama. And we know this because she ran a relatively amicable campaign, unlike Trump, who has spewed hate speech from his campaign's inception. First it was calling women pigs, and making fun of their menstrual cycle. Then it escalated to encouraging followers to beat up minorities at his rallies. Then it escalated to asking Russia to hack into America's computer system for his own personal gain. Now it's a call for Hillary to be murdered. It isn't one, random crazy sentence. It's a pattern of crazy and that's very scary... scary for our country and scary that so many of his minions will blindly follow him regardless of what he will do. He is right -- he COULD shoot someone and not lose your vote. You would probably say it was Clinton's fault.
