The media's all out attack on Trump



The US left wing media (CNN, NBC ,NY Times ,Vox , Slate and other's )have launched a vicious assault on the Trump administration from day one.The poorly drafted "refugee ban" by the government provided the fodder to set the house on fire.The 9th circuit of judges overruled the blanket ban from the seven countries.In its new found enthusiasm ,Trump & co committed a colossal blunder by not taking time to loop the DHS ( Dept of Homeland Security ) and other stake holders before issuing out the executive order.The initial version of the executive order did not exempt green card holders from the order.Trump also took it a step further by going on record to say that his administration would give priority to Christian refugees out of these predominantly Muslim countries.The US Constitution clearly debars discrimination on religion.It looked as if the Trump administration believed in the over arching power in Section 1182(f) of federal immigration law, which authorizes the president “by proclamation” to exclude classes of aliens.The 9th circuit clearly did not go with the argument that the government can issue blanket orders which can be exempted from judicial review.

By now the Trump administration has realized that its walking on a thin line with an aggressive unfriendly media conspiring to target every member of Trump's core team.The Left wing media twisted the "refugee ban" as a "Muslim ban".Clearly the leftist media believes that it has to be in bed with the Islamist's propagating this strategy to be idealism & liberalism.Bernie Sanders and Noam Chomsky has led the Left Wing on turning a blind eye to radical Islam with the left wingers happy to join in.

In between Trump had passed an executive order banning member of government from lobbying for at least 5 years after stepping out of Washington.This news found rare mention on the left wing media.Instead they targeted Michael Flynn,National Security Adviser of the Trump government leading him to him finally stepping down.The charge was that Flynn had failed to mention discussing sanctions with the Russian Ambassador.The bigger conspiracy in this case , who in the government had access to the transcripts and who released it to the media.Clearly ,there are pro-Democrat officials lying around in Washington who are willing to throw the government under the bus.The media has also been on a constant war path with Kelly Ann Conway and Steve Bannon. Flynn was the appetizer , the real target is Trump.

Trump has chosen to fight back hard with constantly tweeting labeling the left wing media as FAKE NEWS. In the last press conference,Trump went a step further and told a CNN reporter that they are "very fake news" which led to laughter.But the point was not missed.In the Florida rally , Trump reached out directly to the public and criticizing the media for setting their agenda.


This battle is going to turn ugly in the coming days.The very fact that Trump got elected despite the constant slander has proved that the vast majority of public care two hoots for the liberal media.The media is supposed to be a watchdog of society and government and throw light in a bipartisan manner.However , at the moment ,the media shows no sing of relenting.
