Sticking with their Totally Unhinged view of reality and the World most of those in the Mainstream Press, print and TV continue their +95% negative coverage of Trump to the point that anyone who gets their news (if you can even call it that) from one of the MSN players then you could be excused for thinking Trump was some buffoon who some who cheated his way into office or got the Russians to do it for him.   Never mind that ALL the evidence points otherwise to a horrible Democratic Candidate who couldn't win a rigged election even, you have a press ever salivating for some tidbit or morsel of rumor or speculation that they can then inflate and create into something that fashions a "Breaking News" story as long as it's negative and against Trump.   

This is more a reflection of the very people who determine what we, as citizens and consumers, see from the main "news" networks and that's freighting to think of.   We have people not content with reporting the news anymore and never even heard of reporting the news impartially.  We have people in decision making positions who want to attempt to steer and create the news and lead a public into believing what they want them to believe rather than reporting and allowing the viewer/listener/reader to make up their mind based upon given information.  The whole Russian/Trump dossier is, unfortunately, vivid proof that a faked, politically motivated, created item can be the basis for a multi-year political assassination against a legitimately elected President justified for no other reason than Trump is not liked or perceived that he "doesn't belong" in "those circles" … Washington Politics that is.

One only has to read Microsoft Service Network (MSN.com) and other sites like CNBC, NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, New York Times, etc … etc …. to guarantee yourself that you are going to view multiple negative articles about Trump and often it's not what is printed that tells as much but that which is not printed and reported.   Read about companies raising their minimum wage for employees or giving raises to their employees  and it's reported as some great benevolent move by a great company rather than reporting it as a potential reaction to Trump's tax cuts for businesses and industries.  RECORD Unemployment numbers are reported but NO Credit is ever given to Donald Trump and/or the Republicans rather some lone Democrat who cries that $1000.00 is crumbs for a family is rewarded with press coverage alluding that people will still need money cause off the Republicans giving breaks to businesses rather than individuals, the same Democratic talking points from 50 years back.  

Record Black Unemployment or rather employment is passed off as I it never happened by the media and never is Trump credited but worse the Mainstream Press finds some way to report on someone from the past Obama Administration speculating and bloviating that somehow Obama set up the Economy for it's exceptional comeback and growth.  There is an active attempt to taint and rig the news to be negative, always, toward Trump and positive toward any Democrat or liberal minded person.  Reporting about Rosanne and her ill-advised Tweet is blown out of context and she's the worst person in America and not only is her current shows and future shows cancelled but out of sympathy toward this former Obama Administration employee  even old re-runs are removed and become taboo.  in comparison Kathy Griffin is given a comeback tour of the talk circuits and being brought back into vogue after her bloody headless Trump episode.  Samantha B gets the public finger shaken in her face for what was pre-planned and possibly practiced ill-advised monologue routine yet compare Rosanne to Samantha B and the way the two are reported.  With Rosanne it was she was racist to the core (since leaving support for Obama and now since supporting Trump) and everything she did was deliberate and worthy of condemning her to obscurity and non-relevance in Hollywood.  Samantha B is looked upon as a total accident, she didn't mean what she said, it was mistake out of misjudgment and she did apologize and meant it whereas Rosanne would not even be listened to or given the chance to apologize but rather it's assumed she is racist and always will be racist as long as she supports Trump.  ALL negative things by a single Conservative, Republican, and/or Trump Supporter becomes thus stereotyped and applied to EVERY OTHER Conservative, Republican, and/or Trump Supporter and even now applies to Trump Himself.

I've never seen such a level of malice and vehement, seething, anger at or toward one person to the point that anything is justified If it is responsible for producing negative headlines or leads to potential impeachment or resignation.    And the shear numbers involved of people that left the reservation and became deranged and permanently unhinged when and from the moment that it was apparent that Donald Trump had beat Hillary Clinton for President.  You could tell so many of these reporters or commentators were so sure Hillary would win in a landslide that their countenance could be observed to drop midstream during reporting and almost as if they had to apologize to their audience that Trump beat Hillary.  Hillary so sure of her landslide victory over Trump that she was so beset with grief (and surprise) that she couldn't even face her own supporters to give a concession speech.

What we are observing, in this Country today is an unprecedented Leader who is doing what he promised to do and making decisions that is turning around an economy that was in freefall account of horrendous restrictions and decisions by a previous administration that had absolutely no clue about how the world works and what succeeds.  There was a void in American leadership before Trump was elected and what you had was a President that made unprecedented number of trips golfing or on  Air Force One for personal vacations including separate vacations by his wife (Michelle) and her mother and friends and daughters.  Never was there negative reporting or even any reporting of these things and use of Public money to arrange and maintain.  What we are seeing in this nation is a coup attempt to remove a legitimately elected President whereas the only collusion that is in existence is not between Trump and Russia but rather among Democrats, Republicans ( never Trump'ers that is), News Outlets, reporters, and editors and high ranking employees of the Justice Department all working together basing reporting and investigations upon known false and scandalous creations paid for by opposition political research in an attempt to swing an election based upon negative information about a/then political candidate Donald Trump.  You have the collusion of all these people, and more, in an attempt to remove a sitting, legitimately elected President, from office, against the will of the majority of American People.

Okay so much for my Two Cents worth this morning … actually more like $5.00 worth.  It's just that I am concerned that we no longer have any  news organizations but rather propaganda machines that cannot be trusted to report the news impartially but worse that can be counted on to omit information, create things, and use less than verified sources and material all because it meets a particular political agenda.

Well, the majority of the American People didn't elect Trump. That much is fact. You can have your own opinion, but you can't have your own facts.

You also whine about the Obama's vacations and I have yet to see you say anything about Trump's obvious excessive travel. Again, you can have your own opinion, but not your own facts.

How can you ignore the obvious hypocrisy of your own post?

I believe Hillary was an obviously flawed candidate and Bernie was a dupe to make sure Hillary was the choice, but to whine incessantly about something that didn't happen (if Hillary would have won...) is just getting a bit ridiculous.

Who is saying that Trump received the majority of the vote count?  You can't dispute that that, like Gore, Hillary had more votes cast for her however that's not the way Presidents are elected but rather in the Electorial college where smaller states and larger ones are more equal in vote tallies thus Trump won handily in the Electoral vote count.  Without the Electoral college then you are giving far more emphasis and power to various large cities such as New York, Los Angeles and others who alone can swing an election.  The electoral college system may not be the perfect one but it does work and has for a long time.  

As for Obama's vacations, they were excessive but I'm also including the families vacations where Michelle and her friends and mom all traveled many places far more than any other first lady.  That's a perk of the job though and most Presidents take advantage of it.  Trump plays a lot of golf but doubtful that he plays as much as Obama did but either way Trump has gotten done far more than Obama ever dreamed of accomplishing and he's done it by eliminating most of what Obama actually did through increased regulations and restrictions and executive action.  Because Obama skirted Congress so many times it's very easy for Trump to eliminate what Obama did by doing the exact same thing only in reverse.  The outcome or results are staggering in that the economy is recovering if not exploding as a result of getting rid of what Obama did.

I'm not totally down on Democrats but I do believe in giving credit/condemnation where it's due and Democrats deserve a whole lot of condemnation when it comes to what they did to mess up the Healthcare insurance system, that IS their fault.  The Republicans aren't yet doing much to correct those horrible things either for deductibles is still outrageous and make healthcare totally unaffordable for most American families.

ONE Democrat that I really want to congratulate and would vote for again is Doug Jones, our Alabama Senator.  I think he's doing a great job and unless something changes I'll be voting for him come next election that he runs and based on the job he's currently doing.  Although I am more conservative and do tend to support and vote for Republicans it's because they tend to support the things I support more these days especially along the area of defense spending, tax breaks, and immigration.  I still blame Democrats for messing up healthcare and causing my family to have to spend so much more for medical care before insurance ever takes over.  Democrats earned that scorn and condemnation.  

I also like what Trump has done for the most part and believe he's doing a good job.  I believe he's done tremendously better than Obama ever did as I believe Obama and his administration was not only inept but corrupt as can be.  What happened at and surrounding the 2012 attack on Benghazi was horrendous in that our Administration purposely lied to us and deceived us and still today no one knows where Obama was at that time nor what he was doing or what he did in response to the attack.  No one knows who called off those ready to go in and assist those under attack and give the stand down orders.  Those answers never were provided or given and the only thing we got was and continues to be coverups and lies.    I also believe that the Obama Administration, and Obama himself, knew and used the Justice Department, and executive branch including the IRS for political attacks on it's political enemies and that I believe has yet to come out.  It's known though that Tea Party groups were targeted by Obama's IRS and that many abused their authority.  I think the only thing that Obama and his Administration and the democrats could do in the 8 years they had was pass the healthcare bill and apologize for all the ills that they perceived that America did to the rest of the world.  They believed America was inheriently bad and deserved to apologize to the rest of the world which they tried to do at every opportunity.  

In that regards I totally believe Trump is doing far better as well as with the economy.  But that's my own personal belief.

 The will of the majority of American People was to not have Trump as POTUS. Trump has spent more on vacations, in one year, than Obama spent in 3 years. Trump has convinced you that Canada is a threat to National Security and Russia is our ally. You can't make this stuff up. Why can Republicans not accept the reports of numerous investigations? Do you think Republicans are so inept they can't handle a simple investigation, much less a half dozen? At some point, you'll have to accept reality and give up on pipe dreams.
