OPINION:
Is the press the enemy of the people? Well, we see hourly and daily that 90 percent of the mainstream press is the sworn enemy of President Trump, his administration and of their accomplishments. Since Mr. Trump is the duly elected president of all the people, readers can draw their own conclusions.
Sadly, it’s much worse than a derangement virus. It’s a cabal of Trump hatemongers that includes not just most of the media but notable and frequently quoted holdovers from the Obama years who will do or say anything to destroy the Trump presidency. When 90 percent of media reporting is hatemongering, do we have a free press or a cabal propaganda machine?
Media judgment is so distorted by hatred that the “Fourth Estate” misses important events. One example is its reaction to Mr. Trump’s claim that “Obama tapped my wires.” Long criticized as untrue by the media and its pundits, we now know that Barack Obama’s people did tap Mr. Trump’s wires. They just didn’t do it the old-fashioned way. Instead, they used phony FISA warrants.
