Always Do More of What the Media Forbids
American Spectator ^ | July 26,2017 | George Neumayr

The criticism of any Republican almost always grows in proportion to his effectiveness. One of the media’s principal missions is to serve as a dispensary of unsolicited and destructive advice to the GOP. And until Trump came along, the stupid party usually took it. Trump won not in spite of his utter indifference to the media’s self-serving counsel but because of it. If a Republican candidate follows the media’s advice, he typically loses; if a Republican in office takes the media’s advice, he governs fecklessly, makes no meaningful gains, and loses re-election.

Always do more of what the media forbids; always do less of whatever it counsels. Trump, who is already inclined to follow these rules, should observe them even more robustly. The media, for example, is instructing him “not to criticize Mueller.” Trump should launch even more attacks on Mueller, detailing day in and day out his conflicts of interest (which far exceed Sessions’ s insignificant meetings with the Russian ambassador) and exposing all the partisan hatchet men he has assembled to nail the Trump campaign on process crimes.

All news media in America is owned and operated Prog/Lib/Leftist/Socialist/Communist/NWO asshats, including Fox.
I refuse to watch any of them considering there are better ways to get news.

Excellent approach to life in general. What the old media viciously defends, better yourself by doing the opposite. If we all used this approach, the left’s campaign of hate would fail.
