1) Calls the mother distressed so that the reader establishes sympathy for her right off the bat.
2) Fails to mention that Trump was being sarcastic when he made those initial comments, to try and trick the reader into thinking Trump is mentally unstable or something.
Then, the article ends like this... lol, and it ends with 3 quotes, THREE FUCKING QUOTES from people slamming Trump for it. You can't make this shit up guys. The media is so fucking dishonest. Actually, they're not even dishonest...they're worse than dishonest...they're misleading. They do subtle things to lead their readers into believing what they want them to believe. Is everything in this article factual? Absolutely, but it's missing the whole truth, and it's totally slanted.
And it's not even listed as an opinion piece. Sad.
Conservative news sources are ignoring it even happened. Especially the channel that is the most trusted and fair and balanced. Why aren't you bashing them too?
It's one of those situations where if you're watching a political speech, debut of a movie, live sporting event, etc and then later on you're surprised to see that something you witnessed was turned into a big deal by the media.
What happened here is that some people with political incentives sit around watch all of Trump's speeches and say "hey, what can we make a big deal about that makes Trump look bad, that people wouldn't otherwise think is bad unless they read an article in the media about it?" And poof, there's your story.
Conservative sources are shit, too. Just look at the BS they spewed about Hillary Clinton and the whole email thing. But that's more or less over with, and Trump is getting a historically unprecedented amount of attacks in the media, so I'm spending more of my time defending him.
Why isn't the article just a post of the video? What's wrong with just presenting the facts without slant? Oh, that's right...because then it wouldn't provide entertainment for the anti-Trump people who frequent their website.
A couple months ago, I almost had hope for Trump. After he secured the nomination, he came out and said he will be presidential. He said he acted that way cause that's what he needed do for the nomination. Then he reiterated that he will be presidential and act appropriately. He calmed down some until the convention.
What's funny, on fox news last night, they were even arguing if someone has to act presidential. They were asking what acting presidential even means and saying it wasn't a requirement.
TEQUILA LIKE ANALYSIS:
1- How do you know Trump was sarcastic?
2- Trump said "The mom is running around" the definition of distraught: "upset or agitated"
ARTICLE SYNOPSIS:
A baby cried. Trump said, and the author quoted "I love babies. I hear that baby cry like that."
Later in the same speech, Trump said, "Actually I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here,"
The crowd laughed - which the author duly noted.
Trump then said, "I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I'm speaking. That's OK. People don't understand. That's OK."
The reporter then quoted Kaine, who spoke about the incident. The reporter noted the crowd laughed and clapped.
Finally, the author quoted a tweet Kaine later sent.
No opinions. No bias. Just facts. Misleading facts but facts.
