I'm sorry, but your example does not refute the accuracy of what the media had to say. Nor does it adequately defend the myth that Kim-Jong Drumpf is being treated unfairly in the media.
The fact is, his regime is a dumpster fire and his every action performed with noteworthy incompetence. Naturally, that's how the media will report it. If anything, they are going easy on him. |
Wow, way to go ignoring most of my post. My point was that when Trump and Kim Jong Un weren't on good terms, the media tried to make Kim Jong Un and North Korea look good while making Trump look bad. Now that they're on good terms, they tried to make Trump look bad by making North Korea look bad. With Obama, the media handled him with kid gloves. In fact, the media went easier on Obama than they have with any President in my lifetime. The only people really complaining about Obama's handling of North Korea was the right-wing media. When the left-leaning media reported Obama's failings with North Korea, they simply back to making Kim Jong Un look like a Looney Toons character in order avoid having to say that Obama failed with North Korea. Also, they never bothered to report that Obama completely ignore Dennis Rodman when he tried telling Obama that Kim Jong Un wanted to talk. So despite what the news media says now, the truth is Trump has succeeded where ever President since Harry Truman has failed. The US and North Korea are talking and making deals. Nobody can spin that no matter how hard they try.
Other than North Korea, there are numerous examples of the media lying about Trump or deliberately trying to make Trump look bad. The more recent example is when he referred to as MS13 gang members as animals. Anyone who watches the video of him saying that could tell that he was referring to the gang members. The media kept saying he was referring to immigrants that way. That was a lie. The truth can be heard in the actual video. The problem more people have heard the lie than the actual audio clip. An older example is a CNN clip that happened a day or so after the 2016 election was over. There was a man who was acting hysterical over the fact that Hillary Clinton lost. They were trying to communicate the idea that people wanted Clinton to win so badly, which is of course false. Shen was never a popular candidate and was seen only as the lesser of two evils by many people who voted for her. As it turns out, the hysterical man was actually not a random Hillary voter but instead a CNN crew member. This was revealed (most likely by accident) by the CNN news commentator. Another example of dishonest reporting was from earlier that year when the damning Wikileaks documents were released that showed that the entire DNC election process was indeed a fraud and that they were going give Hillary the nomination all along. The CNN reporter tried to tell their audience that it is illegal to read classified or stolen information like that unless you are the news media, which is of course BS. They said this because those emails would make Clinton look bad and would Trump look good by default.
So what we've seen with the news media in the era of Trump is not only is the reporting bias against him, but in many cases, they are in fact straight up lying.
