Tell us what the MSM should be reporting, where Trump himself has actually done something positive, and the MSM has failed to report.

"Executive Order Minimizing the Economic Burden of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act"

"Expediting Environmental Reviews and Approvals for High-Priority Infrastructure Projects"

Just a few, because you don't like them, does not mean they are negative against him.

You've proven my point, that I knew exactly what I stated...

Second sentence in the link, so, you cannot comprehend what you've read....congrats

Just some more:

Quote:
Trump also moved on his pledge to sign a requirement that for every new regulation, two be eliminated, claiming that many regulations are wasteful and hinder businesses’ growth.
Supreme Court nominated...

Quote:
an additional 15,000 employees to carry out immigration laws. Trump’s order authorizes the Secretary of Homeland Security to hire 10,000 more U.S. Customs and Immigration officers and 5,000 more border patrol agents.
XL pipeline.....

Again, because you disagree, is not my fault....

Just get ready for another 7+ years....

I am reminded of the "reporter" who committed criminal trespass, did not leave when told to do so, did not wait as requested, did not refer to the person he was told to ask his question of, was rude, obnoxious, and in-your-face to the candidate, fell down when the candidate touched him, and cried "You body slammed me and broke my glasses!"; thus damaging the candidates reputation and costing him a court appearance and a lot of money.
HOWEVER, enough of us saw through the damfool reporter's ploy, and voted for the candidate anyway. He won the election
Neither the reporter nor his employer deserves any recognition, so I won't mention their names.
I subscribe to the local daily newspaper, and I watch CBS News. Yes, I see the bias quite frequently. Edward R. Murrow, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Paul Harvey, Walter Cronkite, and the other pioneer newscasters must be crying and spinning in their graves to see how low their profession has sunk!

When Bill Clinton said his sex life lie the mainstream media literally camped outside the White House to harass and question him.

And days before the 2016 election the mainstream media announced that the FBI was reopening their investigation into the Hillary Clinton emails (dropping a huge bombshell just before the election.)

But when the GW Bush White House said 935 false statements/lies about Iraq the mainstream media did not report it (and the few media groups that did report it gave it 1,000x less attention than Bill Clinton's sex life lie.)
Study: Bush, aides made 935 false statements in run-up to war - CNN.com

And the mainstream media did not report about the active court case against Donald Trump accusing him of raping a 13 year old girl. The mainstream media also did not report allegations of Donald Trump raping his ex-wife.
Donald Trump underage rape accusation: Judge sets date for hearing of lawsuit | The Independent
Time to Press Donald on Whether He Raped His Wife? – Talking Points Memo

If the mainstream media truly had a liberal bias they would have buried the Hillary Clinton FBI story and instead reported on the court case accusing Donald Trump of raping a 13 year old girl (but the mainstream media did the opposite.)


Some mainstream media outlets like MSNBC do have a liberal bias. But the examples listed above show that overall the mainstream media actually protects republicans more than democrats.

The mainstream media is controlled by wealthy CEO's, and all of those CEO's have a financial incentive to protect republicans (because republicans give those CEO's huge amounts of money with tax cuts like the following.)

Bush Tax Cuts After 2002: June 2002 CTJ Analysis
https://thinkprogress.org/romneys-ec...s-52314de0d724
https://www.forbes.com/sites/janetno.../#2db0df1265b9


And media outlets are also concerned about their viewer share, money and advertisers (not political parties.)

What will get the attention of more viewers, a story about a president lying about his sex life, or a story about a president lying about Iraq?

"Sex Sells" and the mainstream media jumped all over the Bill Clinton sex life story, but the mainstream mostly ignored GW Bush lying about Iraq.


The republican conspiracy theory about a "liberal mainstream media" is largely a untrue myth, perhaps brought about by the many propaganda techniques used by certain republican news groups.

Sorry if you don't get why some don't like that, and trust in media is at an all time low
Do you know who Ken Starr is? Please look it up and then come back and tell us all about it.

If you think Nixon was put under a microscope....you should study that also.

You're seriously asking why the MSM isn't celebrating Trump's border idiocy?

Again, name ONE thing. Something that a moderate person around the world would view as positive, and something that Trump specifically did. And, no Supreme Court nominee is not an answer. Any President, by law, would have filled a Supreme Court nominee position; that's like lauding Trump for waking up in the morning and taking a poop.
I have proven it and ohhhhhhhhhhh lookie.....you move the goal post...now it's a "Moderate" person...

I've given you 3, because you don't like them, again, that's not my fault...

And here is the kicker, as many regulation obama put out that I did not like, there are things that I did agree with....see how that works....

Again, I've given you 3....there are more out there, stop moving the goal post to suit your needs....

I've provided you with a few things, you don't like it, well that's just to bad because many do like it.

Please, you've proven that just cannot read....you said my link had nothing to do with Harvard....the SECOND sentence very clearly stated it was a Harvard study....

It's o.k., we know your still butt hurt and living in mommies basement....that's cool though.....

I don't think you know what a "free press" is. We don't have a free press anymore. We have a State run media (for the most). Virtually all the MSM are run by Democrats. They dish out propaganda, day in and day out. They make up stories. They take what they are told straight from the White House, and twist it to serve their own purpose.

That is not what a "Free Press" does. What they do used to be called, "yellow journalism."

Really? Proud of their lies; their propaganda? Why? They are disgusting. They are not objective. They are totally biased toward the Left, and they lie, and lie, and lie!
