Yes the Mainstream Media Really Is the Enemy of We the People

By Todd Starnes President Trump is getting quite a bit of blow back for saying the fake news media is the enemy of the American people. And most of the blow back is coming from the fake news media. The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes @NBCNews @ABC @CBS @CNN) is not my enemy it is the enemy of the American People! he tweeted. As you might imagine the folks with blemish-free skin and perfectly coiffed hair accused the president of being some sort of tin pot dictator -- trying to silence and intimidate the press. Former Washington Post reporter described the presidents tweet using words like authoritarian and dangerous and insidious. The New York Times was especially aggrieved by the presidents tweet writing the language that Mr. Trump deployed on Friday is more typically used by leaders to refer to hostile foreign governments or subversive organizations. It also echoed the language of autocrats who seek to minimize dissent. This is the same revered news organization that once waxed poetically about the flossing habits of President Obama and commemorated his 50th birthday with a stomach-churning essay that read like a cheap romance novel. His brow is mostly smooth his chin firm his neck taut lusted The New York Times writer Denise Grady. The fact of the matter is the Mainstream Media truly is the enemy of We The People -- they hold us in contempt - treating us like were a bunch of backwater bigots. I illustrate that point extensively in my new book The Deplorables Guide to Making America Great Again. The folks that write our daily newspapers and broadcast the evening news are of the same mindset as Hillary Clinton and President Obama. They believe were just a great big basket of irredeemable gun-toting Bible-clinging bitter Deplorables. But as much as they hate those of us who cherish traditional American values - they absolutely loathe President Trump. I doubt youll see The New York Times swooning over Mr. Trumps golden mane or his flossing habits. The fourth estate is indeed the Opposition Party -- and I believe they are complicit in spreading disinformation and propaganda to destabilize the Trump presidency. To be honest though I have a problem with the term fake news. I believe we ought to call it what it really is -- lying.
