Some of the contributors to the American Thinker closely
monitor the mainstream media, so you don’t have to. Here’s an extract from Timothy Philen’s “Trump vs. the Media”:
The jobs report numbers for May
were stunning: unemployment dropped to an 18-year low of 3.8 percent, an
unexpected 223,000 non-farm jobs were added, and year-on-year wage gains rose
to 2.7 percent. Black unemployment dropped to a record 5.9 percent,
a month after Hispanic unemployment hit a record low of 4.9 percent.
The only thing more stunning was
the mainstream media's announcement of this economic milestone, typified by NBC
News's blaring headline: "Trump Breaks Protocol with Jobs Report
Tweet."
It seems obvious now that we've
reached a tipping point where the mainstream news media are so thoroughly
intoxicated with animus toward this president that their journalistic sobriety
is in a state of permanent collapse. Evenhanded reporting is
evidently seen as capitulation to the enemy. Defending Trump in any
way would, no doubt, be considered treasonous.
This isn't media bias
anymore. This is war.
. . .
[George] Will's highbrow jeremiads
against President Trump delivered on cue to a smirking Lawrence O'Donnell or
solemnly nodding Chuck Todd are hard to witness. One almost expects
him to hold up a copy of the day's newspaper to prove he's still an alive and
happy hostage.
It doesn't stop there.
