Discussion On My Facebook Page Concerning Media Treatment Of Donald Trump

JM: You might not like our president Alan but he will go down as the president who woke up The world to our corrupt liberal media. It is my opinion that you will see the largest landslide victories in the last 100 years as a result of what they have done. I voted for Obama and after what the liberal media has done to the president of our United States there is no wonder why the Democratic Party is falling apart. I'm ashamed of it!


Alan Archibald Thanks for your commentary Jim.

Like my father before me, I am not a perfectionist and have long thought America's fundamental political aspiration should be to keep manifest lunatics out of office.

Then, when something good actually happens, just think of it as "gravy."

Without broaching discussion of Trump's mental health... please name the conservative newspapers, magazines and media outlets that you think do as good a job as the Washington Post, The New York Times, the McClatchey newspapers, The Atlantic, Harpers, Utne Reader, Salon, Slate and NPR (despite their acknowledged imperfections)?

Although "The National Review" -- a revered beacon of conservative thought founded by William Buckley in 1956 -- is once again drifting toward Trump... just two years ago NR had the good sense to offer this critique of "The Man Who Lies More Easily Than He Metabolizes": “(Trump is) a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as The Donald himself.”

Furthermore, conservative luminaries Bill Kristol, George F. Will, David Frum and P.J. O'Rourke all react to Trump as if he were force-fed ipecac.

As for Faux News, Chris Wallace and Shep Smith have already turned on The Solipsist while elsewhere I see little but foxy evasion, deliberately-misleading apologetics, deviously-crafted deception and straightforward lies, a toxic brew that makes Megyn Kelly's criticism of Fox seem mild: http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/.../megyn-kelly-says...

Notably, we witness none of these vicious "in-house" attacks on "the left side of the aisle," whereas -- until now -- it has been conservatives who have not broken ranks.

I think Obama got very little criticism from his liberal fellows because there was very little to criticize - and a lot to admire. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/.../historians-and...

But returning to my core question...

Where, Jim, do you turn for "truth in reporting?"

And how much of Trump's own commentary do you take to be true? http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/.../trump-lies-lies...
