It Is About Time That We Had A President That Was Willing To Go To War With The Mainstream Media<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\"DonaldThursday afternoon\u2019s press conference was perhaps the most memorable moment of Donald Trump\u2019s presidency so far.\u00a0 Trump\u2019s blistering attack on the media was quite a spectacle, but the truth is that it was desperately needed.\u00a0 For decades, the mainstream media has dominated political discourse in this country no matter who has been in control of the White House or Congress.\u00a0 They have become masters of guiding and shaping public opinion, and in recent years they have completely discarded any pretense of being \u201cunbiased\u201d or \u201cobjective\u201d.\u00a0 These monolithic media organizations relentlessly push the progressive agenda of their owners (the global elite), and that is why the \u201cnews\u201d always seems to be just about the same no matter which network it is coming from.\u00a0 Their monopoly is slowly being broken by the rise of the alternative media, but the truth is that most Americans still rely on just a handful of ultra-powerful media organizations for their news.<\/p>\n

So when Trump brutally attacked the mainstream media at his press conference on Thursday, millions upon millions of Americans greatly rejoiced, because they finally got what was coming to them.\u00a0 And then on Friday, Trump posted a message to Twitter calling the New York Times, NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN \u201cthe enemy of the American people\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

After Donald Trump\u2019s surprise election victory in November, many in the mainstream media started referring to the pro-Trump alternative media as \u201cfake news\u201d, but now Trump has totally turned that insult against them.<\/p>\n
