It’s difficult to believe that anyone actually watches The View. For those who follow the media industry, it’s probably a matter of just hearing about the latest cat fight on the dreary ABC daytime talk show and then checking out the clip on social media.

In essence, Donald Trump is a salesman who came from the business world where perception may or may not be reality. When the president starts riffing during a rally or press conference, he sometimes gets details wrong or expresses thoughts poorly. As writer Salena Zito once noted, “When he makes claims…the press takes him literally, but not seriously; his supporters take him seriously, but not literally. “
Contemporary “Journalism” is Not A-OK
As we enter 2020 and a new decade, media pundits among the blue-check Twitter brigade should strongly consider making a new year’s resolution to avoid rushing to judgment with hot takes that can sometimes ruin lives.
President Donald Trump has a tendency to throw rhetorical fuel on the fire. When his riffing at a rally, or sending out a tweet storm, he often creates needless feuds. This kind of rhetoric can obscure a substantive message about his administration’s America First accomplishments. In this way, he tends to forget that when your opponents are digging a hole, let them keep digging.
Congresswoman Ihan Omar is getting some bad press in the Star Tribune, her hometown newspaper. Championing her candidacy in 2018, that publication, among many virtue-signaling mainstream news outlets, chose to ignore the solid work of investigate journalists and “conservative bloggers.” The Rep. Omar situation one again is another example of a quote attributed to playwright/filmmaker David Mamet who apparently opined that “In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…”
Did MSNBC and CNN, among other mainstream (or fakestream) “news” organizations, obsess over the Russia collusion narrative like it was a ratings-driven “as seen on TV” product? For instance, Glenn Greenwald was one of just a handful of left-wing journalists expressing skepticism about allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. In an appearance with Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson, Greenwald maintained that the 24-7, anti-Trump drumbeat by “CIA TV” was a wholly unethical, exploitative, and divisive way to make money. Special Counsel Mueller’s report has now cleared President Trump and others of any collusion or obstruction allegations.

Update on Mueller Madness Bracketology: And the Russia collusion delusion national championship winner is…MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, the New York Post announced:
With the imminent release of the Mueller report on alleged Russian collusion with the Trump campaign, President Donald Trump outlined what he considers the real collusion that had an impact on the 2016 election. In an interview Thursday morning with FBN’s Maria Bartiromo, the president had this to say about collusion which could lead to potential regulation of social media to prevent censorship:
In comments that she quipped might constitute “professional suicide,” CBS News Foreign Correspondent, or more specifically ex-CBS News correspondent, Lara Logan told a podcaster that the media is mostly liberal, which should come as no surprise to anyone who is paying attention. It’s unusual, though, that someone employed in the mainstream media would admit to the rampant bias. According to Variety, Logan and CBS supposedly parted ways sometime last year, so maybe that has something to do with her candor. Logan did not mention that she was no longer employed by the network during the interview, however. See the video embedded below.
Asking for a friend: Does your company get together for a group cry after an election?
That’s appears to be what happened at Google’s all-hands TGIF meeting in November 2016 after Donald Trump’s win in a video just leaked to Breitbart News.
Google continues to insist there is no political bias in the way the search engine giant operates.
Breitbart described the reaction of Google’s top execs to the election results.
“These individuals, who preside over a company with unrivaled influence over the flow of information, can be seen disparaging the motivations of Trump voters and plotting ways to use their vast resources to thwart the Trump agenda.”
Kent Walker, a senior VP at Google, says that it's important for Google "to be in the arena" fighting against "populism" and "nationalism" after Trump's victory to make sure that Trump "is a blip, is a hiccup." pic.twitter.com/LHla5aezaU
