It stuns me reading and seeing all the mainstream media stories that Trump’s speech is covered as if it were given by a normal president.
It was in fact an incoherent mess of bragging, recriminations, lies, vague promises and general nonsense delivered by a mumbling idiot caked in orange make-up.
Watch it if you don’t believe me.
Until these rants are covered accurately, I don’t have much hope for American media.
For example, this NY Times headline conveys nothing of the utter lunacy of the speech. An unsuspecting reader might think it was along the lines of, say, an Obama or a Reagan speech.
It’s LIGHT YEARS away:
“Trump Claims Military Success but Offers No Clear Timeline to End Fighting
In a 19-minute address from the White House, President Trump said the U.S. would hit Iran “extremely hard over the next two to three weeks,” but did not make any revealing announcements.”
I'm not even going to bother to look at what the NYT has to say about Trump's rant. I can't stand the NYT's pandering to that miserable @#$%^&^%$#!
@samlitzinger I'm done with American mass media. I simply don't bother with mainstream/legacy media any more unless it's for confirmation on something.
Independent media is the journalistic soul of the US. Mainstream media no longer has any.
It stuns me that Trump’s speech is covered as if it were given.
@samlitzinger I just finished lstening to his performance. He did good job of reading script, less boring than his other teleprompter readings. (Trump really comes to life when he can ad-lib and speak about windmills or now his ballroom and fancy curtains)
Though the white house should really publish the bloopers for this pre-recorded episode.
You are very correct that media are gullible when it comes to claims of totall destruction by a White House with 0 credibility.
German Major TV Channel News:
This is how Trump is lying in order to attack US letter voting. (Fact checking in German)
So lügt Trump, um die US-Briefwahl angreifen zu können

Ok, we also have issues where the mainstream media is simply following the "narrative" - like "former president of Venezuela" or "arrested", but still..
I did not see it (and cannot stand more than 15 seconds of him) but apparently it went as expected…
This serial lying con artist should never have been in the White House.
@samlitzinger ... and the U.S. as a whole and maybe the world.
Unforunately, it might be true: the failure of the media for decades now may be one of the main causes of the ugly mess we are experiencing.
you still had hope for american media?
lmfao
people really cling to instutions and norms, even when theyre long dead and dismantled.
.. is one thing i've learned from this admin
