That would never have happened. The press was Obama's best friend. Over 90 % of the media is negative towards Trump. 90% of it was pro Obama. This is why more and more people don't trust the media and they are failing. CNN ratings suck! Why? Because they are fake news. Trump has done so much more for this country. Obama had 8 years and his only big accomplishment was setting race relations back 50 years.dislaxxic wrote:Fox News Host: If Obama Treated Press Like Trump, There’d Be ‘Explosion On The Right’
Occasionally we see a personality at the media arm of the republican party say something that makes a bit of sense.
Not often, but once in a Blue Moon...

"Obama had 8 years and his only big accomplishment was setting race relations back 50 years."
"90% of it was pro Obama"

During his first days in the White House, President Barack Obama promised to usher in an era of openness in government, stating that a new commitment to transparency would only serve to “strengthen our democracy.” But now, some seven years later, a new study conducted by the Columbia Journalism Review suggests that relations between the White House and the media have never been so closed off.

what if a media outlet, a major one, supported virulent racism, not by looking to the secondary factors (history) but in fact, just plain old hired a racist?DocBarrister wrote:It’s important to understand how Fox News is serving to promote the virulent racism that has long been part of the Murdoch family. Rupert Murdoch’s father, Sir Keith Murdoch, was notoriously a prominent member of the Eugenics Society of Victoria in Australia. Keith Murdoch’s papers published the infamous article, “The Problem of the Unfit,” authored by Professor Richard Berry of the University of Melbourne. Among other policies, Berry advocated a “lethal chamber” for Australian Aborigines and those with low IQs. The racist ideology of the eugenics movement formed some of the foundations of the Nazi Holocaust. Rupert Murdoch has shown nothing but admiration for his overtly racist father.
Is it therefore surprising that Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, including Fox News, would throw its support behind a racist Birther like Donald Trump? Trump first made headlines because of racial discrimination at his rental housing developments. Like Murdoch, Donald Trump’s father was a racist. Fred Trump was infamously a documented KKK member.
In Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch, we have two scions of two notorious families with lengthy, documented histories of racism. Is it any wonder they support each other and are working to promote racist policies, not just in the United States, but around the world?
Ever wonder what kind of world we would have if it were run by men who were immersed in the ideology of the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi-like eugenics theory? Well, you’re living in it.

That world looks a lot like Fox News prime time: Carlson, Hannity, and Ingraham. There’s a trio of white supremacists right there, and they’re hardly trying to hide their bigotry and racism anymore.ChairmanOfTheBoard wrote:what if a media outlet, a major one, supported virulent racism, not by looking to the secondary factors (history) but in fact, just plain old hired a racist?DocBarrister wrote:It’s important to understand how Fox News is serving to promote the virulent racism that has long been part of the Murdoch family.

in other words, hypothetically, have you wondered what that world looks like?
