    America is being mocked by the shallow bias of its free press
    Yeah. Clock this;

    MI5 vetted thousands of BBC staff to keep ‘evil’ and ‘subversive’ lefties out

    The BBC allowed MI5, Britain’s intelligence service, to vet its applicants in a bid to stop potentially “subversive” people from influencing the broadcast material, new files have revealed.

    How come governments get to control Press Accreditations ? How can that be a ' free ' press system .

    This is exactly true, when networks like CNN, who once represented themselves as the go to network for worldwide news reduce themselves to a bias rag. People around the world wonder that American politics has gone to the dogs.
    There are definite alternatives now, with the world wide web and numerous other News sites, so people will eventually gravitate to the ones they find fair and balanced.
    CNN has caused their own demise, I predict her days are numbered. they are the access Hollywood of News now.

    When they aren’t indulging in their daily hysteria over something Trump said, they report on Mueller or something to do with the Russian conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, Trump plugs along.

    They deserve to be mocked.

    You could stop right there, actually.

    Obama spent much of his young adult life emmersed in academia where Trump was out in real world scoring deals and making his billions. Obama entered politics with comparatively little in the way of practical experience that could be applied to dealing with bad foreign actors—-and you could tell by how things went.

    Obama wanted the world to like us—-Trump knows better lol. From his dealings with bad actors in his business Trump knows such people just can’t be trusted. So Trump strong arms a Kim like he would a crooked contractor.

    And guess what. It works.

    But the media is largely lost in the tall grass.
    That Obama and Trump are not the same in details doesn't change they both possessed a sufficient degree of outréness to be the outsider as far as swing voters.

    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    They were both phenomenal for different reasons, I’ll grant that.

    Obama was the first black president—with a Muslim name, to boot. He could have never left the recliner in the Oval Office and still scored big with the multicultural enthusiasts.

    Outsider? Not so much. If anything, Obama was a lefty.

    Trump is the consummate outsider, both ideologically and culturally. Hollywood types and DC insiders [even in his own party] absolutely loathe the man.

    We are living through an era when the Western democracies are generally reassessing a great deal of assumed conventional liberal wisdom, and have been conducted in this direction by political leadership that is often disparaged in our mainstream media as disreputable rabble-rousing.

    The American media regularly imply or state that the U.S. government is being run autocratically by a thuggish individual unfit for his great office.
    Robert De Niro wants to send the president to prison in a comedy skit; Kathy Griffin, whose opening gambit was a still photograph of the president’s severed head, is now lampooning his entourage in predictable simulations.
    Desperately unoriginal and mouthy occupants of late-night purported comedy — Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Chelsea Handler — imagine that shouting rehashed denigrations of the president and his family are amusing. It is a bore; it isn’t working, and history moves on.

    Pew Research Center and Harvard Media Studies surveys both confirm that 90 per cent of the national media coverage of Donald Trump is hostile.Yet he is accomplishing his stated goals, slowly. The asinine Dodd-Frank financial strangulation law, which enacted the bipartisan dual-branch official American pretence that private greed rather than unspeakable governmental incompetence was responsible for the 2008 financial meltdown, is being repealed.
    The Secretary of State-designate has returned from a secret visit to North Korea that appears to presage the most ambitious American diplomatic activity since president Reagan’s arms-reduction talks with president Gorbachev (1988), or even president Nixon’s accord with Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai (1972).

    The economy is flourishing, illegal immigration is sharply curtailed. Assad has been smacked down and Putin faced down, and the gigantic canard of Trump collusion with Russia has collapsed.
    That investigation, generated by a fired FBI director illegally taking a doubtfully accurate memo and leaking it to the press, has now degenerated into an absurd handoff to New York prosecutors to see if the president’s lawyer committed a campaign finance offence when he paid off a rather peppy porn star for silence about an alleged one-evening encounter with Trump when no abuse or even ungentlemanliness was alleged, 10 years before he ran for president.
    Truly is America, the greatest nation in history, with all its complexities and shortcomings, mocked by the shallow bias of its free press and the absurdity of public discourse.

    There are many vicissitudes but the American leviathan is, however awkwardly and inelegantly, reviving. But the most salient aspect of it is not the war on and travails of Trump, but the fact that the national media have shot their bolt every day for 34 months since he announced his candidacy for president.
    The media threw their obligation to retain some element of fairness and detachment aside, and gambled everything on poisoning the wells and polluting public opinion so badly that the people’s choice (by the narrowest of margins and in a stunning surprise) would be overturned.
    They gambled and they have lost.

    My point is not to promote Trump; it is the colossal failure of the press, and the widespread extent of this phenomenon.

    Obama was more outsider than his opposition both inside the party and in the general election since he had little to no real experience.
