That’s not a drop in confidence; the bottom fell out.

Check out this video. Start it at 1:40 (It’s just over 2 minutes long) and listen to what, exactly, this reporter is frustrated about.

“Clinton left her protective press pool... The pool of reporters which is supposed to be with her just for this kind of emergency...”

Am I crazy or does it sound like she’s upset that she didn’t get to do her job of protecting Clinton?

In today’s America one would have to be a naive simpleton to sit around and gawk at these corrupt old school biased tv networks. It’s like tuning into a Tokyo Rose broadcast, nothing but lies and propaganda.

Sometimes lying is OK. Like when you think you know what is better for people more than they do.

It’s ok. Statist liberal left-wing secular progressives meant well. That’s all that matters. The ends justify the means.

Indeed, the MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

You are right.
My question is, does Trump have his own “protective press pool” ?
I have never heard this term before.
Makes the mind consider what other alternate jobs the press performs ... for the special people.

That is interesting the trust with the media went way up with republicans during the 2008 Obama election.

The Youth are mostly hard leftest that believe capitalism is the cause of their problems. They wouldn’t know the difference between capitalism and corporatism.

Yep. That right there tells you more about the media’s liberal bias than any study ever could.

One example is using the term “refugee” instead of “asylum claimant”. We don’t know if they are true refugees.

Dear Gen-X-Dad,

You are most correct, sir.

My 3 years spent at u-Tapao Royal Thai Naval Airfield, Thailand, as the home of the 307th Bomb Wing, were long hours, either at my assigned duties, or those nights walking the fence of the back 40, especially during ‘the 12 day Christmas air war’, also known as Operation Linebacker II, in 1972.

“Am I crazy or does it sound like she’s upset that she didn’t get to do her job of protecting Clinton?”

Yup. Bizarre that she would call it that. Bizarre that she would think something was wrong if a candidate ignored the protective pool for two hours.

The press doesn’t deserve anything.

These recent numbers almost surely are a partial reflection of Trump’s swinging back at the MSM. I certainly have trouble with a few of his stances, but it is more than made up by his refusal to be cowed by these corrupt bastards and (word I should not say here).

Then there is the MSM being so arrogant (or careless) that their bias slipups are increasingly obvious: “Anyone” who cares to look even “in passing” can see what’s going on.

I have told my kids for years that you can trust the media for baseball scores and obituaries and that is about it
