The Media Targets Trump — Again
Well of course.
The election results are barely in, and President-elect Donald Trump is already being targeted by the erroneously named “mainstream media.” Aka “the liberal media.”
After spending an entire campaign going after candidate Trump, now they have turned to focusing on the new president. Take a look at a sampling of headlines since the election was settled. Here are but a few, all making the front page of but one edition of the New York Times:
What to Know About Elise Stefanik, a Ferocious Trump Ally
In which the Times says this of the New York congresswoman now tapped to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations:
• Stefanik has spent her time “amplifying his lies” about the 2020 election.
• Stefanik “would bring relatively little diplomatic or foreign policy experience to the role.”
• Stefanik has “embraced many of the conspiracy theories undergirding Mr. Trump’s claims that the 2020 election had been stolen from him.”
• Stefanik “also adopted Mr. Trump’s pugilistic style.”
Then there is the Times coverage of Trump aide Stephen Miller, headlining this of the incoming White House deputy chief of staff:
Immigration Hard-Liner Stephen Miller Poised to Get Key White House Role
And what would the day be without a “Trump Threatens” story. This time, the Times story is headlined:
As Trump Threatens a Wider Trade War, the U.S. Confronts a Changed China
And a long overdue effort to seriously clean up and reform the federal bureaucracy? That headline would be:
Trump’s Civil Service Plan: ‘A Train Wreck You Can See Coming’
Which reports this, with bold print supplied:
At the end of his first term, Donald Trump issued an executive order creating a Schedule F category of federal employees, who would be political appointments rather than career civil service workers. If, as expected, Trump issues a similar order in January, the government could fire thousands of workers who would lose their civil service protections in crucial positions in national security, drug safety and public health. Trump then could fill those positions with those who are loyal to him and him alone.
Imagine that! Career bureaucrats having to carry out the orders of the elected president instead of running the government according to their own political whims! Oh the horror!
Then there’s the Washington Post. Want to escape Trump’s upcoming remake of America as a hell on earth? The Post headlines:
Dreaming of a move abroad? What it takes to immigrate in 5 countries.
If you’re serious about leaving the United States, you better do your homework.
This jewel of a be-terrified-of-the-Orange Man story reports:
Shortly after Donald Trump’s election, searches for “move abroad” began surging in the United States. While many Americans looked for information about how to move to Canada, others also searched further afield, Googling destinations including the United Kingdom, Ireland and New Zealand.
And, but of course, ignore the millions of women who voted for Trump. The Post headlines:
How women feel about another Trump term: Despair, anger, relief, elation
We asked women for their reaction to Donald Trump reclaiming the presidency. More than 5,600 responded.
This story starts as follows:
We asked women how they felt about Donald Trump winninthe nation’s highest office over Vice President Kamala Harris. More than 5,600 readers, ages 12 to 94, responded by early Friday, sharing feelings of sadness, despair, anger, relief — and, for some, elation.
• 980 submissions mention “rights”
• 641 submissions mention “scared”
• 639 submissions mention “disappointed”
•550 submissions mention “sad”
•276 submissions mention “abortion”
•251 submissions mention “heartbroken”
Nary a mention that 46 percent of women voted for Trump, that total up from 43 percent in 2020.
And over in the lefty Boston Globe was this priceless headline:
‘I want to break stuff’: Rage room bookings increase after Trump wins election
And on — and on and on and on — goes the decidedly hostile anti-Trump coverage from the supposedly objective “just-the-facts” supposedly “mainstream media.”
Which is to say, they are not about objective journalism. They are about “hate Trump” reporting.
And the hard fact is that the American people have long since come to grips with all this. They could not care less about all of this. They understand exactly that the national media is not objective, and that it is not about serious “just the facts” journalism.
Knowing that — understanding that exactly — millions of Americans made a point of turning out to vote on Nov. 5, perhaps with a middle digit upraised, pulling the lever for Donald Trump. Who was elected in a landslide, winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College.
Memo to the national news media from the American people?
Point made. Message delivered.
Time to move on.
