L.A. Times ‘nearly hysterical’ over Trump
The Washington Times ^ | April 2, 2017 | Jennifer Halper

Posted on 04/02/2017 7:15:37 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Media analysts wonder just how far the news media will go in their efforts to undermine President Trump. Well, they will go pretty far. National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre recently noted that “organized hatred” is unprecedented against the new administration — “amplified by a national media that has thrown out the rules of journalism and has become a part of the mob.”

Strong words. But there are strong words in journalism as well. This week, the Los Angeles Times offers a four-part, unsigned editorial series titled “Our Dishonest President.”

The first installment ran Sunday, proclaiming this: “It was no secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters. The Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a ‘catastrophe.’ Still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck.”

The Democratic National Committee immediately shared the Times missive in full with its membership — and there are three more to come. Like Hillary Clinton — whose new motto is “resist, insist, persist, enlist” —the Times is issuing a call to battle, ramped up through the vast feedback loop of the Democratic Party itself.

“Those who oppose the new president’s reckless and heartless agenda must make their voices heard. Protesters must raise their banners. Voters must turn out for elections,” the paper noted, adding, “All of us who are in the business of holding leaders accountable must redouble our efforts to defend the truth from his cynical assaults.”

How does the editorial rate on the Richter scale of livid journalism?[continued]

They left the “nearly” part a long time ago. That editorial screed was written in their own fecal matter in a rubber room.

As a narcissist, Trump can’t even be compared to “Mr. Selfie” Obunghole.

Hysteria has taken over the MSM and all other fringe lunatic liberals. It appears that the word “fringe” now applies to most liberal Democrats. It’s a pathetic, sickening exhibition.

That was the most ridiculous article ever. You could hear the whining, moaning, foam-flecked, totally over the edge. It’s a wonder they have any readers.

The DNC Chairman Perez’s attack on the President is off the Richter scale of sanity.

the new president’s reckless and heartless agenda...

Where "heartless" = having respect for the Constitution and guarding our borders.

Poor bleeding-hearts, long ready for a yuge rubber room.

Wonder if it’s part and parcel to Susan Rice’s behavior about a week ago. She admonished Trump to “stop spreading lies.” Today I’ve seen reports that she is the person who unmasked Trump associates re surveillance. So if the accusation is true, then another Freeper suggested that Rice’s scolding re “spreading lies” was to prepare for her own defense - she’ll insist charges, if any result, are just “lies” and retaliation for her scolding him. And now the hysteria in the paper re the OP; the groundwork is being prepped, I think, to denounce Trump and his administration of making up accusations re Rice et. al.
They were crazy before (MSM) but now they are more desperate.

Trump is driving these leftist fools insane. I love it, love to see these fools driven to hostile insanity, then driven and parked in an insane asylum, never to be heard from again.

Only a matter of time before one of them pulls a Budd Dwyer, a Squeaky Fromme, or straps on a vest.

If this is nearly hysterical I’d hate to see full blown hysteria.

I read the Times 5 days a week for free at a coffee shop. Just for the glee of witnessing the wailing and gnashing of teeth. typical run. 2 anti-trump satires on first page, one on Cal impact of Evil Trump policies on innocent migrants (read illegal aliens). One store on the plight of people trying the escape those countries Trump is banning. A story in the business section on bad, bad trump economic policies. 6 out of 7 letters to the editor on related topics oppose trump. Language used the Times would not allow a pot-trumper or conservative to use. Language in letters to the Calendar and Sports section. In the age of oppression by our elected officials thank God it’s baseballs eason or that play has opened to tell us the truth.

“amplified by a national media that has thrown out the rules of journalism and has become a part of the mob.”

This is true and it's time for President Trump to throw out some rules of his own and call up the militia to apprehend the enemies of this country -- not "throw out" as in discard, but "throw out" as in "invoke" or "appeal to," because the militia power of the president is undeniable and very real indeed.

I know this was part of an April Fool's joke this morning, but it's time -- if we want to survive as a nation. imho

I hope,the stress they are bringing upon themselves sends them all to Jesus real soon.

The last 8 years were not great for my physical health.

One story on the plight of people trying the escape those countries Trump is banning.

I'm guessing the Times hasn't done a story on the plight of the white Christian So. Africans and Zimbabweans being slaughtered in the streets and on their farms, and the near-impossible time they have trying to get legal residency in Western countries.

Here's something that might 'comfort' the hysterical editors of the LA Times: Trump's completed 10 weeks of his Presidency.

Times journalists only have 406 more weeks of Trump...2,912 more days.Pull out those markers and put an "X" through each day...2,912 and counting.

I have been bak in soCal since 1995 and nearly twice a week the times has run a “poor illegal alien family story>’ I have heard they will not run letters debunking global warming. I have seen pro-GW ones, but not the truth
