Ted Koppel: Trump's Not Imagining Things, The Liberal Media Are Out to Get Him
Obvious, but it's a statement against liberal media interest so it counts more in court.
"I'm terribly concerned that when you talk about the New York Times these days, when you talk about the Washington Post these days, we're not talking about the New York Times of 50 years ago," Koppel noted to journalist and author Marvin Kalb earlier this month. "We are not talking about the Washington Post of 50 years ago. We're talking about organizations that I believe have, in fact, decided as organizations that Donald J. Trump is bad for the United States." Koppel added that "we have things appearing on the front page of the New York Times right now that never would have appeared 50 years ago. Analysis, commentary on the front page."Video of his remarks at the link.So [Trump's] perception that the establishment press is out to get him-- doesn't mean that great journalism is not being done; it is -- but the notion that most of us look upon Donald Trump as being an absolute fiasco, he's not mistaken in that perception. And he's not mistaken when so many of the liberal media, for example, describe themselves as belonging to "the resistance"? What does that mean? That's not said by people who consider themselves reporters, objective reporters of facts. That's the kind of language that's used by people who genuinely believe — and rather suspect with some justification -- that Donald Trump is bad for the United States ... and the sooner he's out of office the better they will like it.Koppel added to Kalb that "we are not the reservoir of objectivity that I think we were."

The Times of over 50 years ago won a pulitzer for their reporting on how marvelous the soviet potemkin villages were.
I don't think the media was ever a " reservoir of objectivity" as he claims. THEY have not changed, what has changed is that WE have more resources to see the truth and that has pushed them to be more obvious.

But there *has* been a marked decline. Matter of degree, not kind, but pretty dramatic in the last few years, and of course especially in the Trump Era.
But the distortion was extreme in the Bush era too. Just not - generally - as ridiculous, histrionic, or systematic. And in reverse, of course, the non-coverage of Obama, his administration's disastrous failures and illegalities - which remain completely unknown to many many Americans to this day - was just as damaging to the country.

And they seem to keep cranking it up to where it's now so over the top even a few honest liberals are embarrassed.
The media has been liberal my entire lifetime, but I have to admit I preferred the world where at least put a little energy into looking objective.
I do think though Trump's biggest victory will be how America now looks at the media.

Koppell just admitted that "journalists" are nothing but people horking up their pathetic and idiotic opinions on the nation, not reporting actual news. And they're definitely not telling us what we need to know about our government.
And reporting the truth? They wouldn't know what that was if it bit them on the leg during a broadcast.
I take it that we now have The Official Green Light to ignore every one of them. I've been doing that for years.

They are too lazy to verify stuff, or they don't want to because they just want to throw feces. They lie, blatantly and when caught they just shrug and reload with more feces.

Typically, another gray eminence gets it partly right but also utterly wrong.
These "organizations" -- or decomposing aggregates of leftist lunatics living on the fumes of their organizational legacies -- couldn't care less about the United States. They hate Donald Trump because 1. he can't be controlled by them and their power-mongering masters, 2. because he threatens everything they and their power-mongering masters stand for and 3. because he's good for America and they hate America.

The NY Times paper of "record" mission is on behalf of the communist infiltration, and perhaps some big names that were part of it, idk.
Maybe they used to hide it better, and now that they are caught with their pants down, Uncle Ted is trying to explain it away as just a little bias ... "don't worry, we can right this ship, it is just about Trump". Nope ... no hope ... they can't even apologize for the coverup of Ukraine genocide.

MILAN (AP) - A bus driver in northern Italy abducted 51 children and their chaperones Wednesday, threatening them over a 40-minute ordeal before setting the vehicle on fire when he was stopped by a Carabinieri blockade.
Officers broke glass windows in the back of the bus and got all the passengers to safety without serious injury before the flames destroyed the vehicle, authorities said.
As he was apprehended, the driver said he was protesting migrant deaths in the Mediterranean, Commander Luca De Marchis told Sky TG24.
De Marchis told Sky TG24 that the driver, an Italian citizen of Senegalese origin in his 40s, threatened the passengers, telling them that "no one would survive today" as he commandeered the bus carrying two middle-school classes to a nearby gym in Cremona province, some 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Milan.

He wants them to do the same hatchet jobs against President Trump, he just wants them to look "professional" while doing the hatchet jobs.

Donaldson wore a toupee. He famously had a whole bunch of them, with different lengths, to mimic natural hair growth between hair cuts.
He start out with shorty, wear it for a few days, then switch to a longer one, and so on until he'd start over, after a hair cut.

Koppel is close, but he's still missing the main point ... by 180 degrees. The New York Slimes and Washington Post were never concerned with what was "good for America". Quite the opposite. They always looked to take America down. They printed whatever they thought would hurt America the most.
The New York Slimes and Washington Post are concerned that Trump actually IS good for America - and that pisses them off to no end. They want people like Barky - retards who hate America and want to cut America down to size (if not totally destroy us) - leading things. They don't want someone like Trump, who loves America and is actually working to put AMerica back in its rightful place well ahead of everyone else.

And that's who all you liberals/leftists always forget about.
Sure you got the popular vote. Maybe. Before we make any rash statements, I want to see the voter roles from every state and compare them to some green card lists and asylum lists and a few other things that can help determine if someone is not a citizen.
And now we see why they are so adamant against a citizenship question on the census. Not so much because of any representation shuffling altho that's part of it. No it's because then the country (it's citizens) would have a glimmer of how bad the foreign invasion of our country is. And it's only a glimmer cause a lot of people won't answer truthfully or at all and that's if you can find them. Plus some will get missed.
It's been posited that the margin of Trump's loss in California alone could be the difference on who actually won the so called popular vote.
I don't remember being asked if I wanted to see non citizens vote in my elections. Cause I don't want them to but if they do, they have to pay a price for their non-citizen voting. How about $10,000 to get your registration card? And no welfare or health care for 10 years. And no abuelas getting dragged up here from the old country.

Because of file sharing, the only way artists make $$$ now is touring.
That's why tours are so big and stupidly complex. Big tours = ability to charge high ticket prices.
And stadium tours?
High ticket prices + fewer dates, so Bono doesn't exert his pretty little self....

Its that they're no longer professionals. They aren't any damned good at their job. They don't understand the news or how to report it. They don't even care.
Back when Sam Donaldson was being a turd stain on the White House lawn, there were structures in place, old grizzled editors, traditions, and professional standards that kept him from going full Acosta. They wouldn't let opinion slip into the news reports, they made sure the lede was the heart of the news story, there was no "hide the party" crap. They would actually report stuff that hurt their own side, reluctantly.

Married life is most excellent! Of course, we are still in different states, which makes it difficult, but we're coping.
On our honeymoon, we ended up getting paid to go to a time share presentation, and I accidently figured out how to defeat a time share salesman!
So all is well. I am also in the process of teaching Bozo Conservative the way things are done in the entetainment industry, which I think is the same as "corrupting him." He doesn't seem to mind so far.

Very understated, underrated actor. I watched the whole run of Adam-12 on Netflix a few years ago and I was really surprised at how honestly good it really was. Yeah its a bit of a romanticized view of the police (especially LA cops) and yeah, its dated but the acting, writing, etc were really solid.

I saw it last week. I thought it was pretty good, although sad in some places. But what made me laugh was the portrayal of the rest of Queen. If you knew nothing about them except what was in that movie you'd think they were a bunch of choirboys who just stayed home with their wives and kids when they weren't on stage. I don't think you even see them with a drink in their hand, let alone any drugs. Or groupies.

FDR tried to pack the Court, for the love of God, gave away half of Europe and the press didn't even cover that he was a cripple. They never touched the crap they had to know about JFK and his father. How they covered Vietnam...

Mark Lenard. He played many pointy-eared parts, including the Romulan commander in the famous "Balance of Terror" episode.
He also played Klingons. He had the distinction of being the only actor to play a Vulcan, Romulan, and Klingon, all of the Big Three for a while.
Others have done it since, I think.

Wonderful! Sorry to hear you're still in different states, however. I suggest you both move to the one that gets spring first.
I know of one other person who defeated a timeshare salesperson, way back in the 80s. She was the younger sister of a guy I worked with. She was on vacation and was promised a free television if she went to this timeshare presentation. So she went, didn't buy anything, and asked for her free tv. Nope, they said, you only get the tv if you buy the timeshare. But that's not what I was promised, she said. Sue me, they said.
She was a lawyer. She sued them. And won her free television.

Oh, they gave us exactly what they promised-- including cash-- without a hitch.
The key was not being swayed by "4 days in Hawaii with airfare" and "all kinds of properties that aren't resorts."
In fact, they said their partner company had "castle" accommodations. So I made them show me the castles. We went to the big tv in the middle of the room and everything. It was the Big Close.
The castles? They are 800 square foot stone houses built in the 1800s or earlier. Not castles. "Stone Crapshacks" that might not have heat, electricity or plumbing.
Then I asked about Japan. Every hotel they had in "Japan" looked like it could be in "Idaho."
We got cash and a Jeep tour.

The real pros, what few are out there, you never know what their politics are. Back in the early 1980s, the ABC news anchor was a guy named Frank Reynolds. He was a real professional. He just did his job, did not pontificate or anything of the sort. He died in I think '83 or '84 of cancer. And it was not until he died that it came out that Reynolds was a conservative. No one knew, because he never talked about it. That was not what he was there for. Unfortunately it was commie dickhead Peter Jennings that took his place.

But that being said, I've no idea what's the reasoning behind it. Maybe his chunky daughter is sending Trump DMs saying her dad could kick his ass or something.

Small dioramas. The F4F is on a pine plaque painted to resemble part of the flight deck and I have a crewman checking the aircraft out.

But the distortion was extreme in the Bush era too. Just not - generally - as ridiculous, histrionic, or systematic. And in reverse, of course, the non-coverage of Obama, his administration's disastrous failures and illegalities - which remain completely unknown to many many Americans to this day - was just as damaging to the country.

It actually got really "over the top", "jumped the shark", whatever by the late 1980s. I watched it happen. Back then I got all the major newsweeklies, daily paper, watched all the alphabets, etc. By 1990 it was so blatant I could not handle it anymore and dropped them all. It was not "news reporting", if it ever was, but only blatant propaganda. And while I didn't think it possible, in the years since it has only gotten worse.

Or at least it appeared that way in the final edit. There's a Star Trek blooper reel in which Kirk in the command chair gives a routine order to Uhura, and she's supposed to respond with a simple, perfunctory, five or six word line. In take after take she cannot seem to get the words right or forgets them. I don't know how many tries it took before the director could get a "print" out of the brief scene.

Well that's fair, but he came off today as just bashing him without that background. No one reported on the McCain Dossier link, just that Trump was talking about tanks and started bashing McCain.

Didn't that all come out a while ago? And I understand a daughter's love for her father, I really do, but she comes off as extremely immature. Especially for someone who is on tv and pretending to be knowledgeable.

Typical media. If you listen to the speech he was quite clear about it.
I agree in a vacuum it would be over the top but the stuff that is now coming out is going to show what a duplicitous piece of shit McCain was. Trump uses twitter a lot to make people focus on what he wants them to focus on.

I think Trump laying down a marker.
After all, McCain was committing sedition and trying to overturn a legitimate election by the American people.
There are a lot of illegalities and very questionable acts being committed by the NeverTrumpers and Dims.
Trump's letting them know that they will be called out and publicly shamed when their deeds come to light.

We bought our previous house - Chateau Merde - from a guy who turned out to be a time share salesman.
After whiffing on doing things on the punch list, the realtor did them out of his own pocket so the deal wouldn't fall through.
We later looked him online and found a piece he'd written about how old age pensioners were ideal targets for time share pitches because they had money and weren't as sharp as they used to be, i.e., were perfect marks.
Nice guy.

This is how he survived. Not talking about your politics is a sure sign of being a conservative . Show me an actor whose political affiliation isn't very apparent and isn't on the cast of "Blue Bloods" and I guarantee you they're at least somewhat conservative.
