Politics: Media Failed Again In Their Anti-Trump Attempts
Right after that second debate...EVERY news channel was touting Carly Fiorina.
The pundits and "reporters" all said she won the debate and now she was going to move up in the polls and Trump was pretty much finished (again).
Watching CNN last evening. Anderson Cooper reluctantly revealing the latest polling numbers:
Trump 26%
Carson 21%
Fiorina.... 7% LOL!!!!
Of course now that they have these latest polling numbers and their attempt to paint a picture that Trump was finished and Fiorina was going to be the new front runner have failed miserably...Now they have started this weeks newest attempt to take down Trump.
Cooper segued right from announcing the latest poll results to doing a "panel" to discuss Trump dropping out of the race! Unbelievable.
Apparently a reporter asked him if he would ever consider dropping out. And Trump replied of course. He said if he fell off the charts in the polls he would drop out and return to running his business.
In other words what he has already told other candidates who are polling in single digits that they should do.
Makes perfect sense.
But Anderson Cooper and his panel of "experts" took that and changed it into a "foreshadowing" of Trump's departure from the race.
This shit is so stupid and transparent.
The media is acting like Trump is somehow "bad" because he would actually have the common sense to not waste time and money on a losing proposition. And that guys like Lindsey Graham with less than 1% in the polls are "good".
I've said it since the beginning...Trump isn't my guy. I'm not a believer in a "Wall" across Mexico at all. And I'm definitely against spending even more money on our bloated and useless military. I do agree with him on his ideas for the economy.
But it still bothers me immensely to watch the news channels try to shape the election instead of simply reporting it.
And it has been a nice change to watch them failing miserably this time with Trump and grasping at any straws to try and exert their "power" over people.
I'm hopeful that this time it won't be what the power brokers in Washington D.C. and their news media lapdogs decide.
If they had their way...it was going to be Bush vs. Clinton. That was what was SUPPOSED to happen.
And they are doing everything they can to try and make it come true.
