Why Can’t We Have an Honest and Effective Free Press?
Following on the announcement by the Wall Street Journal
that it would not label Donnie Trump’s lies as lies we now have another blatant
example of how the press excuses Donnie’s lies and personal attacks by
attacking his attackers. At the Golden
Globes Meryl Streep made an eloquent and impassioned statement about the lack of
moral character if Trumpie, and that elicited
this response from some commentator at the LA Times.
Notice the title.
Why
both sides are a little wrong in the Meryl Streep-Donald Trump battle
No, both sides are not a little wrong. Trump out and out lied in denying he mocked a
disabled reporter. Ms. Streep did not
lie.
But then the “unbiased” reporter argues that Streep should
have talked about the issues, not about Trump’s complete and total lack of
integrity as a person. And of course Trumpster has never defined issues. His position on health, 'we need to do something'.
The writer fails to understand, with respect to Trumpie his
person is an issue. Unlike any Presidential
candidate in history, much less an elected one this man is unfit to hold
office. And that is an issue. So in attacking Trump Ms. Streep was setting
out a position on an issue. But the
press just is so afraid of being called biased for stating the truth that they
are biased, in the other direction.
