Media goes all out assault on Trump

[CaptainObvious]

The media, and quite frankly many people including myself are coming to the realization that this guy isn't going away. Everyone thought his little campaign stint would be dead and gone by now. The reality is that he grows stronger every day. Things that would have normally destroyed any other candidate makes Trump more formidable. People like to talk about the new normal. I guess a guy stepping up in front of the camera and saying, hey assholes, you're all fucked up. I'm here to fix it and some of you will like my ideas and some won't. Fuck the ones who don't. Welcome to the new normal.
You all know this had to happen sooner or later. Eventually people do get tired of a lying, criminally corrupt, and totally inept government.

All their blustering doesn't answer the average voter's question as to just what is so terrible about Trump's idea? And his question about why Obama would want to bring in vast numbers of muslims from conflict-ridden countries with no means of vetting them?

Ditto!

(CNN) Donald Trump's latest controversy is unleashing condemnation from Democrats, Republicans -- and journalists.

With Trump's call for a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States, several of the nation's most esteemed journalists and influential news outlets have set aside traditional notions of balance and given themselves license to label the Republican front-runner a liar, a demagogue, a racist and worse.

Tom Brokaw, the veteran NBC News anchor, has called Trump's proposal "dangerous," and likened it to the Holocaust and the Japanese internment. On its front page, The New York Times has said Trump's idea is "more typically associated with hate groups." Dan Balz, of The Washington Post, has called Trump's rhetoric "demagogic," while BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith has informed staff that it is acceptable to refer to Trump on social media as a "mendacious racist," because, he said, those are facts.

Several others have said Trump's proposal poses a national security threat. "This is not small ball, actually. This matters," Richard Engel, the NBC News chief foreign correspondent, said Monday. "It is...a black spot on our collective foreign policy and our conscience. And it also just feeds into the ISIS narrative."

The willingness to use such language and draw such analogies represents a watershed moment in the media's coverage of the 2016 presidential campaign, several journalists and political observers told CNN. For the first time in six months, news organizations are abandoning concerns about impartiality and evenhandedness and stating what they believe are objective truths about the Republican's most popular presidential candidate.

Total crock of bilge!

"... news organizations are abandoning concerns about impartiality and evenhandedness..." Since when?

Considering how many voters "get their news and form their opinions" from the MSM, easy to see that America is in BIG doo doo.

Muslims must be thinking (1) "Damn, those Americans are stupid", and (2) "this is going to be easier than we thought. We don't have to kill them, just make 'em feel guilty and they will self-destruct".
