 Don't Let the Media Tell You What to Think

At a press conference Tuesday, President Donald Trump responded to questions from reporters about the violent and deadly riot that transpired in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend, and he again leveled blame on both white racists and the "alt-left." Naturally, "reporters" and politicians on both sides of the aisle raced to the microphones to offer their statements condemning Trump's words. This is becoming par for the course. The Leftmedia tells Americans how to think; no nuance or caveat allowed. You either express your absolute hatred of neo-Nazi white supremacists or you are one. And if you're a Republican, you are one either way, they say.
          We in our humble shop have been more than willing to call out Trump for foolish things he has said, but we find ourselves more often than not having to push back against and correct the mainstream media narrative. These pontificators — even some conservatives — have become so biased and hostile against Trump that they're unable to accurately and objectively report on what he says. It appears now more so than ever that the MSM's primary objective is to instruct Americans on what to think and not to report the news and trust Americans to freely come to their own conclusions. For the MSM, propaganda has replaced reporting.
          The MSM's practice has been to intentionally conflate conservatives with white supremacists, and more specifically to tacitly suggest that anyone who voted for Trump is a closet racist. Secondly, the MSM has inferred that Trump, by defending the right of white supremacist groups to express their speech via protests, must secretly be in agreement with their views, irrespective of his repeated rejection of those views.
          Here are a few of Trump's statements from Tuesday's press conference; decide for yourself what he said:
          "What about the alt-left that came charging in at the, as you say, the alt-right? Do they have any semblance of guilt? Let me ask you this: What about the fact that they came charging with clubs in the hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do."
          "You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent, and nobody wants to say that. But I'll say it right now."
          "I've condemned neo-Nazis. I've condemned many different groups. But not all those people were neo-Nazis. Believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch."
          "This week it's Robert E. Lee. I notice that Stonewall Jackson's [statue is] coming down. I wonder, is George Washington next week, and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You really do have to ask yourself, when does it stop?"
          "I think there's blame on both sides. You look at both sides. I think there's blame on both sides, and I have no doubt about it, and you [reporters] don't have any doubt about it, either. And if you reported it accurately, you would say it."
          "You had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people — on both sides. ... You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue, and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."
          That last statement — "fine people on both sides" — was problematic in that it was easy to take out of context. But what Trump meant is where he ended up — that decent people come down on both sides of the statue debate. It was not decent people dominating either protest. His muddling of the point doesn't invalidate it. In any case, watching the press conference or reading all of Trump's remarks leaves one with a very different perspective than reading the Leftmedia's cherry-picked quotes. And that's their intent.

Trump Stuffs Dem Mayor – Phoenix RALLY
Still On To Endorse WARD – Pardon ARPAIO?

{rickwells.us} ~ Despite a predictable, unwarranted request by the Democrat Mayor of Phoenix, Greg Stanton, that President Trump postpone his campaign-style rally scheduled for the city this Tuesday... President Trump has vowed that the show must go on and it will. He didn’t cave to Democrat sponsored violence during the campaign and he’s not about to start caving to it now. In a statement Wednesday, Stanton used the flowery words of a political coward, claiming a postponement was appropriate because “our nation is still healing from the tragic events at Charlottesville.” You’re in luck, Mayor. There’s nothing like a visit from President DJT to raise the spirits of an ailing nation. A senior Trump official said Wednesday, “Barring any unforeseen events between now and then, more Democrat thuggery there is no chance we will delay the rally.”...  http://rickwells.us/trump-stuffs-dem-mayor-phoenix-rally-still-on-to-endorse-ward-pardon-arpaio/

{buzzfeed.com} ~ The race-fueled chaos that wracked Charlottesville, Virginia, finally came to rest on Sunday night. And the hundreds of people who spent the weekend fighting in streets — and the millions who watched them... began what has become a new American ritual: arguing about what really happened, and what a spasm of localized political violence means. Was this an assault by racist extremists on innocent, rightly outraged Americans? Was it a clash between “many sides,” as President Trump notoriously said? Was the scale of the white supremacist threat blown out of proportion? Was the violence of the black-hooded “antifa” understated? The answers are clearer on the ground than they are in the filter bubbles driven by fierce partisan argument on social media and cable news. They are complicated but not ambiguous. Here are a few:...  https://www.buzzfeed.com/blakemontgomery/heres-what-really-happened-in-charlottesville?utm_term=.lsM9kqO5p#.drOJwolBK

USNI News Video: The Mystery of the Navy’s Ghost Blimp
 
 
{news.usni.org} ~ On Aug. 16, 1942, U.S. Navy anti-submarine blimp L-8 left Treasure Island, Calif. on a patrol to hunt for Japanese submarines. It returned to shore hours later with the crew missing and no sign of what happened to them.  https://news.usni.org/2017/08/17/usni-news-video-mystery-navys-ghose-blimp?utm_source=USNI+News&utm_campaign=9084f71cf4-USNI_NEWS_DAILY&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_0dd4a1450b-9084f71cf4-231491269&mc_cid=9084f71cf4&mc_eid=3999f18767

{dailysignal.com} ~ The business community of South Carolina is pressuring Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott to oppose President Donald Trump’s nomination of a critic of the Export-Import Bank to run the institution... Thus far, the most vocal critics of the nomination of former Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J., have been large national business groups and Senate Democrats. Garrett, while serving as a member of Congress, opposed the bank as a form of crony capitalism. The Export-Import Bank is frequently derided by conservatives as “the Bank of Boeing.” General Electric and Caterpillar are also major beneficiaries of the federally subsidized loans. More than half of the loans went to those three companies, critics note...  http://dailysignal.com/2017/08/17/corporations-democrats-join-forces-block-garrett-run-ex-im-bank/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT0dJMlpqRmlZakU0TlRWaSIsInQiOiJhNmVHMU5QSzJPekJmVm9ocTI4Qkg2Q1lCb1ZTbWxVbGNKMlhVb2Uxbmt6UTdFZEo4OFJFNXdWcEN0QWNobXJ4UHNuUUFiZXFGanVpbFJ1anRsZHZadkFHMjE1cVdIYlBNQ3FtSzF2Yzgxd3hcL1pvWnVydHJqWHQ1U3diZEh0QVkifQ%3D%3D

Charlottesville: The left's new 'Collusiongate'

{wnd.com} ~ The inexhaustible left is perpetually lying in wait to entrap President Donald Trump in some impeachable offense. Sadly, some vocal Trump critics on the right seem just as eager to purge America of Trump.

They hate him and hate that he won, and their impeachment lust will not be satiated until he’s gone.

The Trump haters on the right are one thing. But don’t be deceived into believing that the anti-Trump angst factories on the left are only about Trump. To be sure, these leftists hate Trump with a white-hot passion, but their primary goal is to thwart, suppress and ultimately silence political conservatism. It is to reinvigorate Barack liar-nObama’s failed progressive agenda by any means necessary.

If Trump weren’t president, the left’s monomaniacal zeal to obliterate all things conservative would be unabated. Though Trump often makes their job easier, they would savage any Republican president, including the venerable Vice President Mike Pence, should he later ascend to the office. They’d maul Pence for his unapologetically Christian and social conservative views and paint him as an unmitigated bigot.

No matter what you think of the Charlottesville tragedy, in a limited but significant sense, it has become leftists’ new Russia – for as long as they can get mileage out of it. It is liberals’ latest best chance to discredit Trump and his agenda and run him out of town on a humiliating impeachment rail – and into the hoosegow to boot, if possible.

How ironic that these rule of law-defying opportunists are champing at the bit to impeach Trump in the name of the rule of law. They couldn’t care less about whether he’s committed any impeachable offenses under the Constitution. For them, his impeachability inheres in his political views. It predates his inauguration – and persists. Right-wingers, whether conservative ideologues or not, are intrinsically bigoted. Trump’s alleged boorishness, his lack of filter and, most of all, his tweets are just icing on the cake. Leftists shouldn’t have to tolerate occupancy of the Oval Office by a man so repugnant to them. So, the will of the people and the electoral process be damned, Trump must go. They will not rest until something they throw against the wall sticks.

With Collusiongate having failed them so far, they believe they’ve finally hit pay dirt with Charlottesville. When you cut through all the clutter and noise, it seems that Trump’s main sin was saying that both sides were at fault and that there were good people on both sides of the protest.

If I thought that by this Trump meant that there are good people among neo-Nazis and white supremacists, I would join in the strong criticism. And I admit he could have been more artful. If you are predisposed to believe that Trump is a racist, you’ll probably find something in his statement to support your predisposition.

But I don’t believe for a second that Trump is a racist or that he approves of white supremacy, neo-Nazism, anti-Semitism or any other form of racism or bigotry. I think that what he meant was that there are good people among those defending the monuments. And it appears that most Americans agree with that, despite the media’s conscious effort to suggest otherwise. Recent polls show that some 62 percent of Americans support preserving the monuments as historic symbols, and 67 percent of Republicans approve of Trump’s statement on Charlottesville. Do any of you really want to claim that 62 percent of Americans or 67 percent of Republicans are bigots?

I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say many leftists do indeed believe that. Indeed, isn’t that really at the heart of this flap? Aren’t Trump’s critics implying, in the end, that he’s a racist – or at the very least that his statement was a dog whistle to white supremacists because he believes they are an important part of his base? Are they implying that those who continue to support him are also stained by bigotry?

I don’t believe that more than the slightest fraction of a percentage of Trump supporters are neo-Nazis or white supremacists just because some of these Neanderthals choose to praise or champion Trump. I further reject that neo-Nazis, fascists and white supremacists are politically conservative, but the left’s historical revisionism enables it to smear the entire right wing with this bilious claim.

Some leftists have suggested that Trump was trying to create moral equivalence between the extremists on the left and the neo-Nazis, indignantly describing the leftist protesters as innocuous, noble opponents of slavery and bigotry who have no other agenda than to register their dissent against these white supremacists.

Please don’t accuse me of deflecting or defending the abhorrent white supremacists for this, but I am not going to sit idly by while this kind of wretched propaganda is disseminated. These misnamed leftist Antifa are anti-fascist in name only and are anything but innocent. They are community organizers, often bused in from afar and funded by leftist Alinskyites to create havoc, chaos and political, social and racial unrest throughout the nation. They are up to no good, and though I won’t fall into the trap of attempting to compare the relative evils of these various groups and thereby be painted as being soft on racism, I will not be intimidated into silence about them.

Wouldn’t it be glorious if the media devoted just one-third of the time they spend trashing Trump to covering his policy agenda – albeit as unfair as that reportage would be? America is still stinging from the liar-nObama years and before, and we all need to focus less on hate and angst and more on true reforms that could benefit the American people.

The violence and murder in Charlottesville are indefensible, abhorrent and gut-wrenching, and I pray that we can cut through shameless efforts at political exploitation and learn constructive lessons from this.
