TRUMP SAYS POLITCAL REPORTERS DISHONEST
MEDIA OUTRAGED THAT CREDIBILITY QUESTIONED
On Tuesday, Donald Trump held a press conference to announce the recipients of money raised for veterans groups. Trump was upset that some of the media was suggesting that Trump was not distributing the money. He said that they have been dishonest in their reporting, they claimed, of course that this was not true. So, I thought about this for a few moments and began to recall several insistences where the media has put out intentionally false information.
1. NBC news intentionally edited the George Zimmerman 911 call to make it appear his interaction with Travon Martin was racially motivated. When it was pointed out that Zimmerman was half Hispanic, he was called a white Hispanic by the media.
2. Brian Williams was suspended by NBC for exaggerating stories over the years.
3. "Hands Up Don't shoot", is still be used by many in the media long after it was determined to be all a lie from the start.
4. Candy Crowley intervened in a debate on National Television to defend Barak Obama, by interjecting false information, when asked by Mitt Romney about Benghazi.
5. When Trump announced his candidacy, his statement about building a wall to stop ILLEGAL immigration was changed to immigration and is still being repeated till today.
6. When Trump stated that Muslim immigration should be TEMPORARILY suspended, until proper vetting could be done. It was changed to a Muslim ban and is repeated daily.
7. In the last few weeks it was revealed that Katie Couric 's documentary on gun control, was intentionally edited to make the opposition look foolish.
While it is acknowledged that the national media is mostly from the liberal side of politics and almost an extension of the government. Their credibility has taken a beating in the last few years. There was a time when the media thought it was its duty to report events as honestly as possible. That idea has mostly vaporized in the recent past. If they believed that their political ideology was the most reasonable line, you would think that manipulation would be unnecessary. By their actions they must believe their philosophy is losing the debate.
