Letter: Media claim as victim is filled with fallacies
By Letters To The Editor | August 19, 2018 at 10:21 am Media claim as victim is filled with fallacies Re: “President Trump, we are not the nation s enemy” (Editorial, Aug. 16): The East Bay Times joins the other papers I consider to be Trump-bashing, with an editorial that’s filled with fallacy in my opinion. The media’s trying to make people believe that it is the victim, as if we don’t see what’s written in the papers or dished out on ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, etc. “We’re afraid, for our personal safety … ,” reads the editorial. What about the personal safety of the functionaries of the Trump administration who are being attacked in restaurants and other public places? Or the intolerant goons , who in the Bay Area don’t want to allow any rally or speech that doesn’t agree with their political correctness and use violence and vandalism to stop them? Stop the lies!

The media’s hatred of Trump is only hurting itself
This month marks the two-year anniversary of one of the most important articles ever written on journalism. On Aug. 7, 2016, after Donald Trump formally secured the Republican nomination and the general election was underway, New York Times media columnist James Rutenberg began with a question: “If you’re a working journalist and you believe that Donald J. Trump is a demagogue playing to the nation’s worst racist and nationalistic tendencies, that he cozies up to anti-American dictators and that he would be dangerous with control of the United States nuclear codes, how the heck are you supposed to cover him?” Under the Times’ traditional standards, the right answer is that you wouldn’t be allowed to cover any candidate you were so biased against. But that’s not the answer Rutenberg gave. Instead, quoting an editor who called Hillary Clinton “normal” and Trump “abnormal,” Rutenberg suggested “normal standards” … [Read more...] about The media’s hatred of Trump is only hurting itself
The media’s Trump crisis of the week
By Michael Reagan What's the mainstream liberal media's most overblown Trump crisis of the week? First, it was the president's tweet calling former staffer Omarosa Manigault Newman a "dog" for betraying him and his administration with her new book, "Unhinged," and her stash of secret White House recordings. Then on Wednesday came the president's revocation of the security clearance of John Brennan, Obama's former CIA director and full-time Trump basher. From the liberal media's reaction, you'd have thought President Trump had sentenced Brennan to death and declared himself dictator for life. The New York Times called it "a striking act of retaliation against an outspoken critic." Poor hysterical Andrea Mitchell of NBC, who pretended to worry that the president was "denying his own CIA ... access to the wise counsel of Brennan," said the action was "akin to the Nixon enemies list." Trump's action was, as usual, pure Trumpian. Brennan definitely deserved to have his security … [Read more...] about The media’s Trump crisis of the week
