Media's Continual "Sparks Outrage" Headlines sparks my outrage!

Posted on 09/15/2016 2:14:26 PM PDT by cvolkay

Many years ago Edward R. Murrow famously asked Senator Joe McCarthy, "Sir have you no decency?" It's time to ask that question again, "Mainstream media, have you no decency, fairness, no objectivity and most importantly can't you dim, dim bulbs come up with new material once in a while?"

Trump Jr. told some joke and for the 47,000 time this week, the headline is "Sparks Outrage." This has become the lamestream media's catch phrase. It's automatic. Donald Trump has a hangnail and it "SPARKS INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE!!!" Oh my goodness.

All of these liberal outlets seem to use it. The Trump Jr. Sparks Outrage headline is on Yahoo as I write this.

It's nothing new but the lamestream media really has become just another branch of the liberals and the dems. They have become ridiculous in their incessant muck-raking attempts. NY Slimes, Wapo (which is short for Whoppers) NBC, the whole lot of them. The online outlets. I use both AOL and Yahoo. They throw up (no pun intended) this "sparks outrage" about twice a week. It has become the staple of the left. Your group think mentality is showing, really. Incredible.

And who do these things spark outrage in? Only the P.C. zombies of the left. They always like to imply that the entire world has stopped spinning at this latest outrage. Tell you what, every time now that you see this over used nonsense of "Sparks Outrage," write them a little letter/email indicating you're on to their little game.

Well lamestream media, you Spark Outrage in me and many others. Your journalistic standards stink, and so do you.

The MSM has been crying “wolf” for so long that nobody believes a thing it has to say.

Once President Trump is sworn in he can task the NSA with retrieving all the coordinated MSM emails regarding “sparks outrage” and many other overused and inaccurate phrases, then release the information to the public and ban those organizations from attending his press events.

I guess you could say, “What difference, at this point, does it make”, but it was Chief Counsel for the Army Joseph N. Welch who posed that question to Sen. McCarthy.

Concerning yourself about the liberal press is only going to drive you to an early grave.

And as Trump has been steadily expanding his lead over Illary, they all say “the race is tightening.”

Well, “sparks outrage” is a new and different meme from the one they have been feeding us for years about the on-going economic recovery.

The media really does not have much imagination.

Wasn't Murrow it was Judge Welsh or Welch

The only ones outraged are the media types who live for that stuff. The public only gets outraged over rich dentists shooting lions.

Look on the bright side. They’ve finally retired “looks on.” Here’s my partial list of other super irritants:

early on
in my wheelhouse
mean-spirited
power through
double down
minutes away
making his (her) way to (destination)
back to you
joining us now
give it up for (person’s name)
(person’s name), everybody!
(person’s name), America!
