Remember when the Media said Obama had to reach out to the gop?

What's up with Anderson Cooper? Why didn't he know the answer to that question?

File another one under M$M the Enemy Within

[guillaumeb]

1. Follow the pattern:

Bush is selected in 2000, immediately claims a mandate. Corporate media agrees.

Obama wins 365 Electoral College votes in 2008. Corporate media immediately talks about the need to reach out to the GOP. Nothing is said about a mandate.

Trump loses popular vote and has small Electoral College victory. Talk of a mandate will of course be promoted by corporate media.

[Cha]

8. Oh I know and couldn't care less that he doesn't fake it by

a phony shout out to those who voted for Hillary.

Just pointed out the hypocrisy.. once again.

Thank you guillaumeb

[suffragette]

9. Spot on, sadly.

[Cha]

10. Aloha, suffragette

Mahalo!

[suffragette]

33. Hi Cha. The media always pushes the center and left to placate and compromise with

The right.

Tough and scary times ahead. Here's hoping that our left coast can push back some.

[Cha]

34. Yes, they do.. just the latest spewing of shite from them..

71. This is what people just don't get

There are two different standards as you highlighted, and it gets more extreme as time goes on.

[guillaumeb]

73. And when these different standards are seen, they must be challenged.

The media is so conservative, so one sided, that we can never depend on a balanced presentation of anything. And the more right wing the media becomes, the more the GOP talks about the lying liberal media.

[JHan]

2. Dana also once said we should expect and accept Trump to be graded on a curve....

[Cha]

5. Oh Please! Not reaching out to us but we should "accept him".. not ever.

Thank you, JHan

4. Watch carefully.

Dana Bash is in the tank for Trump. She is looking for inside access and getting it.
Her job is far more important than her country. She is no longer credible in what
she says. She is speaking for the Trumpsters.

42. I'm not counting on the MSM for anything, either.

Not after the shameful way the media went AWOL during the election, handing it to Trump.

[Cha]

45. Oh yeah, they'll be covering for trump just like they did for

bush2cheney until they couldn't hide the bodies anymore.

[Paladin]

46. As long as Trump provides easy-to-write stories, the MSM will take care of him. (nt)

50. Lazy ass derelicts.. traitors to their own damn country.

Fuckers obviously don't believe in climate change but think a sexual predator is best for the job.

[bdamomma]

66. we could label them as treasonous

everyone is looking out for their own asses. They are holding on to their jobs. No I am not watching cable news or network news.

I just hope they will NOT take these sites away along with all the progressive on line stations or Democracy Now. They are my only sources of news and the truth.

[Lotusflower70]

11. Why would he

He doesn't give a shit about us.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8329343

We are damn angry, pissed, frustrated.. but it's not over by a long shot.

[Lotusflower70]

49. Not even close

No it's only just getting started. I am disgusted by what is going on but I am doing my best to channel that into something good instead of curling up in a ball. This is my country too damn it and I refuse to give up on it.

[Cha]

52. Yeah, I had my curling up in a ball fetus postition time.. now

I'm angry and trying also to channel it productively..

We're worth it..

[Frustratedlady]

12. What happened to the POTUS reaching out to ALL US citizens? He is the (gag) Prez of us all.

How is he going to know who did not vote for him, anyway? That's a stupid comment.

As far as I'm concerned, I certainly did not vote for him and he can save his energy where I am concerned. I have no interest in his "reach" and will try to survive the next 4 years on my own. Just tell him to stay out of my little space in the world and we'll co-exist just fine...not happily, but fine.

[kentuck]

13. They are doing their best to "normalize" him.

He's just "unconventional".

[bdamomma]

72. that is that word Kentuck

NORMALIZE

fuck that, normalize shit. The KKK is riding through NC is that normal, white supremacists are having a ball terrorizing people, and the Media is covering this disgusting man. This is not normal.

Standing Rock will be the first but not the last confrontation we will be fighting. We will leave our social media outlets and rise up. Just wait and see, how much more are the american people going to take.

Sorry I am just venting

[niyad]

14. I don't want that sexual predator reaching out to me. anything he says or promises

will be a lie, anyway.

20. So he doesn't have reach out to 80% of the country?

62Million morons voted for him. That's about 1/5 of the total population.

23. LOL since they are more numerous than the people who did

The media is ridiculous, they should be discussing the anomaly of his losing the popular vote at length.

We if he does not "reach out" or even if he did, he is going to get total opposition from the majority.

[Cha]

26. Only Obama had to do what they say, treestar..

27. I would be flabbergasted if

I wasn't already used to Republican hypocrisy!

[Cha]

29. Oh yeah, it's just more freaking yawning HYPOCRISY

from those who brought us the War on Iraq and the sexual predator elect.

[niyad]

31. KO refers to him as president-elect pussygrabber

[MFM008]

35. Hes a LOSER

minority guy. Nearly 3 million votes down. Its an outrage we have to endure this maggot ass wipe racist bigot fat freak.
Im through with the media to. Occasionally I catch a few minutes of Rachel or Lawrence but otherwise the creature doesn't exist in my world.

[loyalsister]

69. Minority guy?

Like a lot of us who are underrepresented and devalued? Is that really something you want to use disparagingly? It's not a terrible thing to be a minority and using the word to slam Trump is going to alienate people. Lakeoff was so far off base on that one.

[Bobbie Jo]

36. Suits me fine

He'll never be my president. Fuck this guy and his freak show.

54. And Orange Hitler can kiss my hinder.

I sure as fuck would never reach out to him for anything.

[SeattleVet]

57. If he doesn't reach out (even with those tiny little hands!)...

he'll be working against the almost 80% of eligible voters that DIDN'T vote for him, and pandering to only the ~20% that did.

Not a great way to make any headway at all in the federal environment...and I'm guessing that the rest of the repukes that want to keep their jobs in the midterms will also be trying to reign him in at some point.

[Cha]

58. It would be a fake reachout anyway from a fake monter elect brought to us

by fake news.

Just the damn hypocrisy needs highlighting..

I turned off cable news after election night and have watched no TV news since. They sicken me.

Cha!

[Cha]

74. Good for you, mcar!

I did it in Nov 2002.. and never looked back.

As I see by tweets and online reporting they're only exponentially worse!

To better days!

[meow2u3]

68. I've noticed this glaring double standard the corporate media has been pushing

Why is it that a Republican president can act like a dictator, imposing his will on Democrats despite not getting the majority of votes, but a Democrat who wins by a landslide has to suck up to repukes who not only want to obstruct him or her, but also kill said President? It's time to put an end to the GOP crime wave and the MSM enablers!

[bdamomma]

75. The one thing I

have noticed is how many of us are turning away from the cable and network news this has to make an impact on their ratings don't you think. They are spewing too much deception and lies. But we need to keep other avenues of news open to us such as progressive radio online sites, KO, Democracy Now, Free Speech TV, The Nation, Raw Story, Truthout and others.

[still_one]

76. Gergen's position is no surprise, he is from old school. Most of what they call the

media though are a bunch of double standard hypocrites.

Most of them are a bunch of sexist assholes. "Hillary was shrill, Hillary was defensive, Hillary looks angry". Screw them

The media doesn't have to be our friend, but damn it, they are supposed to be fair, and that does NOT even exist anymore

Thanks Cha for exposing more evidence of the sham that the media in this country has become

[Cha]

77. Well said, stillone.. i had forgotten momentarily about their sexist call outs on Hillary..

Damn them to hell..

The US m$m is bought and sold by the fascist party.. and now there's a huge chance they can take away our free internet access, too.

Here they are on Pres Obama in case you didn't see it..
