CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 2, 2018
ONLY THE MOST BIASED AMONG US THINK THE MEDIA AREN’T BIASED. AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT TUESDAY’S MIDTERM ELECTION, MAJOR NEWSPAPERS AND THE BROADCAST AND CABLE NETWORKS LIKE CNN AND CNBC ARE ON A JIHAD AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP. THEY WANT THE OUTCOME TO BE DEMOCRAT VICTORIES AS PAYBACK FOR HOW THE PRESIDENT HAS OUTED THEIR BIASES.
HERE’S WHAT WALL STREET JOURNAL COLUMNIST DANIEL HENNINGER WROTE IN YESTERDAY’S PAPER: “FOR EVEY HOUR OF HIS PRESIDENCY, NOT LEAST THE WEE TWITTER HOURS OF THE MORNING, DONALD TRUMP AND THIS COUNTRY’S MEDIA HAVE BEEN IN A DEATH STRUGGLE. MUCH OF THE PRESS BY NOW IS DETERMINED TO ANNIHILATE THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY BECAUSE IT THINKS MR. TRUMP – FAKE NEWS, ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE – IS DETERMINED TO ANNIHILATE THEM.”
ACTUALLY, THE PRESIDENT WOULD LOVE IT IF THE PRESS ADMITTED THEIR BIASES AND DID SOMETHING TO CORRECT THEM. REPORTERS DON’T CARE WHAT LARGE NUMBERS OF AMERICANS THINK. THEY BELIEVE THEY ARE OBJECTIVE WHEN THEY ARE ANYTHING BUT. OBJECTIONABLE WOULD BE MORE LIKE IT. REMEMBER ALL OF THIS WHEN YOU VOTE TUESDAY. IT MATTERS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
