The media is engaging in a sophomoric self-indulgent and tedious discussion of whether when Donald Trump lies they should so report it. Donald Trump is basically a creation of the electronic media. First it was the apprentice which gave him national prominence. Then it was all the" earned media" during the republican primaries that constantly had him before the public. Now the media seems unable to do its job. It obviously takes itself very seriously but not doing its job very seriously .
Today in the Wall Street Journal Donald Trump was quoted as saying that the media lies. Those lies appeared to be based upon the practice of accurately quoting his inconsistent statements. Hello pundits, when he lies say so. And while you are at it, how about relentlessly posing questions to tromp, by printing or stating them as he is not going to make himself available for questioning, such as what is your job creation plan? How are you going to bring back more coal mining jobs? How are you going to bring back good manufacturing jobs to the rust belt? Do you have any real plans other than tax cuts for corporations and the individually wealthy?
Donald Trump should be relentlessly questioned. It is becoming increasingly clear that, to paraphrase Flip Wilson what we saw is what we get. While the media is having its endless and tedious introspective dialogs, remember that Trump himself, and his republican colleagues, relentlessly called Hillary Clinton is a liar. Trump also used promiscuously the phrase lying Ted Cruz.
It is just possible that blunt language is highly effective with the voting public.
Media, do your job and quit giving us endless streams of Kellyanne Conway explaining why day is actually night.
