Brokaw Frets to McCain: Trump ‘Turned the Country Against’ Media

Here's the "free press" in action for y'all ...

Staged CNN Report on Terrorist Attack in NYC

Just check out the background activity in the video around the 1:11 and 4:10 marks. These two phony reporters are allegedly giving reports from two different places ... while standing about ten feet apart.

The U.S. media is a bunch of fraudulent outfits.

[Alberta's Child]

Check out #61. LOL.

Yes, except I don’t think we had much of a voice. We had choice; FNC instead of NBC, but we didn’t have a voice. Donald Trump gave us a voice. Every time he calls one of them out for pushing fake news, I mutter, “Damn right,” under my breath.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Quite so. Though at least they tended to make it plain which party they supported way back when instead of lying to our faces that they are non-partisan and unbiased.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

We’ve been against the media a long time.

[Phlap]

The media hates Trump is more like it.

[Nifster]

McShamey is a lying traitorous coward

[FlipWilson]

Freedom of the press as conveyed by the Forst Amemdment is a precious right that bestows great power. Mr. Brokaw, you and your ilk abused that power. You abused it and became drunk upon it leading you and your ilk to believe the YOU, the media rule this country.

[DoodleBob]

Actually Tom, we always distrusted you and Memogate Rather. It's simply that we've worn down your defenses. You can finally feel the distrust. Welcome to the jungle.

Btw, if you never heard Anthony Cumia's characterization of Tom Brokaw, I recommend taking a listen on YouTube...not for faint ears.

[wardamneagle]

Did Brokaw sound sober or still has a mouth full of marbles.

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

I agree. Which one of us hasn’t known the media stinks for years.

Please consider a monthly donation to FR. All other sites have those annoying popups.

Please???? Pass it on to your Freeper friends. Let’s help out. Do it for Jim. Haa. And for our children.

Operators must be standing by, right?

[Robert DeLong]

Tom & Juan, we were already against the press you idiots. We found a person who agrees with us, not the other way around.

[neverevergiveup]

The media have never cared about the truth, or who they hurt - as long as they can propagate the illusion (and their own delusion) that they are part of ‘something special’, the educated, the ‘leaders’, the ‘thought leaders’, the self anointed ‘Guardians of the Universe’.

A man with Abe Lincoln's background, from small town midwest who didn't go to Harvard or the equivalent, would be ridiculed by today's media. As long as you have the proper prep school and/or university ‘passport’, can sip Sherry with your little finger out, and can spout the usual vacuous liberal drivel, you are considered ‘elite’ and knowledgeable by the left - even if your head is so empty that a NYC developer wants to build and sell condos in it.

Sorry, Tommy, but Trump didn’t do this. You did it to yourselves and it goes back at least as far as Walter “we lost the war” Cronkite.

[rlmorel]

By George, I think you are both correct!

[Smedley]

The MSM turned me against the MSM because of their dishonesty, and they did so long before President Trump was candidate Trump

[Rappini]

I lost all respect for Brokaw when he wrote his book about the men of WW2 and didn’t mention that Foss had been the President of the NRA.

[Southnsoul]

This hack, knows how the media has savaged Donald Trump ever since he first announced his candidacy.

There’s compilation videos all over YouTube of the media, openly laughing, blatantly mocking, and endlessly attacking the mere idea of a “President Trump.”

And that was nothing compared to what the media has been doing to him since he was elected with their 24/7 onslaught of lies and unabashed hate of him.

Instead of admitting that Donald Trump is being successful in the economy, in the record-breaking stock market that the media couldn’t stop referring to as “tanking” during election night...

Instead of admitting that Donald Trump has done well with world leaders, including assembling Muslim nations to fight terrorism and prevailing upon China to pressure North Korea...

Instead of admitting that they were not only wrong about the polls, but were wrong about Donald Trump as president...

The media blames Donald Trump for the division in our country and the public’s hatred of them.

Well, I would remind Tom Brokaw that it was Barack Obama and the Democrat party that started separating us with “identity” politics, and the public’s disdain for the media has been well documented long before Donald Trump ever came along.

[Sgt_Schultze]

The MSM is hated because they regularly exercise their ability to ignore stories that harm their interests, or for steering stories by selective reporting.

[1Old Pro]

I’m pretty sure the press did this to themselves by presenting blatantly liberal biased reports.
