The power of our media


Nope, it's the power of the president's buffoonery:

quote:

"It’s not that I saw somebody else’s tweets about him, I saw an actual clip of him at a press conference equating the protesters ... with the KKK and the white supremacists."


The media didn't put those words in his mouth. He said them, and now he owns them.

I don't blame this woman one bit. She's lost a daughter and the fricking president is equating her dead daughter with the white supremacist nazis who killed her. He's trying to play politics and tiptoe the line between her daughter's "side" and the murderers' "side" because he doesn't want his nazi white supremacist base to turn against him. She has every right to be pissed off at him. Hell, we all do.

No, you don't because the man did not say it. He DID differentiate between the violent protesters and those of conscience.

He was a little over the top in touting the mom's "kind words" for him as well.

She didn't have that attitude until she watched the media coverage. If you don't see how their sensationalist, bogus interpretation and outrage influenced her perspective and attitudes, I don't know what to tell you.

You see, this is exactly the point. No he didn't. But you sure think he did because of the coverage and your own inclination to believe negative narratives about Trump.

So thanks for illustrating the point.

So a "base" that represents about .0001% of America got him elected?

I don't blame her either. I do blame people like you for spewing this bullshite. Your false narrative is meant to drum up irrational, super emotional reactions and hate because it benefits your political agenda. You are taking advantage of this family's emotional state, and it's wrong.
