I don't care if they attempt to destroy Trump. Lie, cheat, whatever. The issue that I, and I think most conservatives have, is that Obama and other democrats get a free pass.

It's not right to try and label Bannon as a racist, and then trot out Keith Ellison as a potential head of the DNC.

Don't appoint race baiter Eric Holder to the AG and then criticize Sessions for comments 30 years ago.

The list goes on and on.

The free pass is just because of the media. If the masses watch CNN and read Facebook then Trump is already the worst president to ever live. It is putting together "buzzwords" to trigger emotions from people and make them disregard the little logic they have.

Don't appoint Sessions and then criticize Holder's appointment.

Glad we agree.

This is definitely unique to Democrats and not at all reflective of human nature in general.

Was Sessions a member of a white supremacist group? Holder was a member of a black militant group.

This is human nature and the left has mastered it. Your brain is evolved to categorize things, recognize patterns, and discern social context. The left blasts America with a 24/7 cycle of bite-sized, pulpy, narratives that have simple characters and significance.

Right now, that message is "Bannon is a white nationalist in the white house" and "Trump AG candidate wants to imprison gays."

A while back, a cartoon frog was a white nationalist.

Soon, there will be a new "bad guy" to harp on and the media will tell us about how he is bullying all of us good, kind, gentle, regular Americans. It is surface-level white wash and it is simple for people to CONSUME.

Ultimately, that is why we are so screwed today. The news has morphed from reporting without editorialization into consumable entertainment that people absorb passively. The opinion is baked into the reporting.

I firmly believe that if the networks were conservative, the majority of the population would be parroting stupid narratives that are presently relegated to Christian News Daily, the Daily Caller, etc.

I'm not talking about Republicans or Democrats, or even me personally. I'm talking about the media which is supposed to be neutral. I expect the political parties to be partisan in the extreme.

I have no problem with extreme criticism of Sessions, if that took place with Holder. It did not.

Even this nonsense of all of Trumps appointments being white. Well, all of Obama's first few appointments were white as well. And they say Trump is taking too long. His appointments have come weeks before Obama's first appointments.

It's a complete double standard. However, it's what got Trump elected, so I say keep it up.

Let them keep it up. Every week that passes, they discredit themselves more and more.

I don't listen to them anymore, I just get tweets directly from Trump and that's good enough for me. SCREW the media, Wikileaks outed them for who they are
