Chaput: Amazing 'how hostile the press is to everything the president does'
philly.com ^ | February 13, 2017 | David O'Reilly

Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput told a radio talk show host Monday that he believes fewer than 25 percent of those working in the “mainstream … elite” media have religious faith, and expressed surprise at what he termed was media hostility to President Trump.

“It’s just amazing to me how hostile the press is to everything the president does,” Chaput told the California-based Hugh Hewitt, a Catholic conservative. “I don’t want to be partisan in my comments here, but it seems to me if we are really serious about our common responsibilities, we support the president,” Chaput said, “whether we accept everything he stands for or not, and wish him success rather than trying to undermine him.

“The elite, of course, kind of pooh-pooh religious faith ... very deliberately,” Chaput said. “It is important to us not to desire to be a part of that with the elite, to the point that we give up our faith.”

The so-called “news” media is dominated by the “Death to America” Democrats.

It’s true.

Non-stop hostility.

Worse even than against Bush or Reagan.

The media is the enemy of the American people and nothing more than paid stooges for the globalist cabal in DC.

Pretty soon no one is going to believe mch of anything the MSM says on any topic, let alone President Trump.

MSM reality is so skewed that they life is a bizarro world, where notihng is allowed to exist or function unless they say so.The MSM world is a totalitarian world, and they have their own lockstep editorial boards, who define reality according to the likes of Chuck Shumer, Nancy Pelosi, and the world of Obama, who calling the shots with paid demonstrators who take to the streets to share power, just as Obama had Odinga do in Kenya in 2007.The result was tribal genocide in Kenya. Now Obama wants to bring the same to America.Talk about sedition.

Soon Obama will become a target of patriots, and he and his Alinsky network will die in the agony of rejection by the People.

The media is complicit in these nationally organized demonstrations. So is the federal judiciary of the 9th circuit. We are headed for civil war, just as Obama intended.

The media views its job as making the Republicans dance around like trained poodles for them. As for Democrats they see themselves as their propaganda engine.

I don’t see how anyone can compare the press coverage of the first month of Obama’s presidency in 2009 to Trump in 2017, and pretend the media in this country isn’t totally biased.

This is why I do not think it was wise for General Flynn to step down. It will only encourage the b@stards.

Yes. Zero was treated like and compared to God. Nevermind how sick and evil and blasphemous (not to mention dishonest) that was. With Trump, they’re treating him like Nixon if Nixon had refused to resign as President. Non-stop attacks, not-stop lies, non-stop fake news and fake scandals. They’re deliberately attempting to stir up a Civil War and encourage nutjobs to do harm to not only the President, but to those that voted for him.

The talking heads on TV and radio are in the main, nothing but overpaid entertainers, and the so called journalists who pollute the weak minded are propagandists whose function it is to hold the pages of fishwrap together so that there's something to read between the overabundance of advertisements which is the only reason the alphabets exist.

See this fellow? That's Stephen Miller.

Stephen Miller DESTROYS Chuck Todd on Meet The Press

MSM HERE'S YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE. A LUCID, IMPLACCABLE MAN

What is it about the following the dimwits just refuse to understand?

From Title 8-ALIENS AND NATIONALITY CHAPTER 12-IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY SUBCHAPTER II-IMMIGRATION Part II-Admission Qualifications for Aliens; Travel Control of Citizens and Aliens

(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

I like Miller. I am sure that there will be a further episodes to the Miller’s Tale, before his tenure at the White House expires.

It isn't "everything he does." It is his occupation of the Presidency. The Left thought it was so close to finally tipping over the republic and doing a clean Bolshevik sweep of America, they were so keyed up for it that the letdown was truly awesome. They cannot believe that God or some other reactionary homoislamogynophobe snatched the rug out from under them and dropped them all flat. They feel horribly horribly cheated. They thought they were on the cusp of having it all and now there is just a blank grey wall in front of them.

Time to do what Reagan did, and schedule some national addresses.
