Mass media is the Opposition Party.<\/p>\n

I was listening to NPR talking about Davos over the past few days.\u00a0 \u00a0They made a point of telling us, with their distress clear in their voices, that President Trump received a warm reception there.\u00a0 They said he was treated like a “rock star,” with contempt on their lips.\u00a0 Of course, I think the President of the United States of America should be treated well wherever he goes no matter the circumstances.\u00a0 I saw other journalists were similarly outraged that the American President was treated like an American President.<\/p>\n

On the first day one of the economics masters of ceremonies observed that Trump has received shabby treatment by the media.\u00a0 There was more outrage at that, but now I cannot find it in a search of Google News.<\/p>\n

As near as I can tell, Trump did a great job by remarking that ‘”America First” does not mean “America alone.”‘<\/p>\n

But actual reporting seems to have taken a back seat to editorializing about how awful Trump is.\u00a0 If you did not catch it immediately after he said it, you are likely to hear only that the journalists did not like Trump’s speech.\u00a0 It was “boring.”<\/p>\n

They are our enemy.\u00a0 \u00a0They serve the Enemy.<\/p>\n
