The media puppeteering continues

It's amazing how slow the media uptake on Trump has become.

I watched CNN this morning right after the Trump Vet presser, and all they could do was discuss how Trump continues to pick on them. They gather the typical forum, 6 liberals and 1 conservative to try and debate the issue. The one conservative had a shit eating grin during the entire debate. At one point the blonde moderator is physically upset and blasts the conservative for supporting such behavior. The conservative basically explains how certain news sources came out saying that there was no money, or if there was any it wasn't distributed to Veteran organizations. The blonde then said CNN didn't print that, but the conservative went on saying that those that did were on their network as guests. Basically it ended with the 6 liberals rubbing each others back saying that everything is OK because nobody that speaks in that tone could ever be president.

Does the media realize that this is intentional by Trump. Trump has a lot of dirt out their that could damage him. So when he does things the right way, he keeps quite and waits for the liberal Hillary leaning conspiracy theory media to come out with an outlandish story, then he attacks them directly. These instances will then be used as examples of media jumping the narrative that he'll use against them when the damaging stuff does get talked about more heavily (ex: Trump University trial), greatly diminishing their effects.

Why the media continues the same path is unbelievable. But after 40 years of left leaning journalism, I guess they can't find a way to stray from the playbook. However, Trump has their playbook and is using it against them.

    CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS = liberal

    Fox News = Conservative

    Is there one in the middle? Nope

    I did say leaning, and 4-1 is pretty leaning I would contest.

    PBS? That still exists?

    NPR I agree with you on that. Radio is extremely on the conservative side, so much so, that I actually don't listen to it.

    The point I'm trying to make though, is that Trump has utilized the television media more than any other candidate in history. He has done that, by playing their own "gotcha journalism" reporting against them. You'd think the media would change their approach instead of looking like morons time and time again.

    Also, I'd love to find one, just one, in the middle form of media.

    Romney wasn't elected so he couldn't kill Big Bird.
