[ May 3, 2024 ]
Other presidents throughout American history have endured harsh criticism from the press. None of them, however, have faced anything like the relentless, organized hit job that is the establishment media’s coverage of President Trump, featuring not just criticism, but distortion, half-truths and outright lies, all designed to make the American people not just vote against him, but disrespect, despise, and even hate him. In pursuit of this goal, consistency goes out the window, and fairness is but a dim memory. Trump is excoriated for anything and everything he does, even when any remotely fair-minded person would see it as positive. NBC News showed this anew on Tuesday in a “Hot Take” it published about the Israel-Morocco peace agreement.
NBC’s “military writer” Sébastien Roblin tells us solemnly that “the U.S. ruptured decades of foreign policy in North Africa to forge the agreement, setting the stage for violence that could destabilize the region.”
Given conditions all across North Africa, with Libya still in the state of chaos and ruin that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton brought upon it, Egypt oppressing its Christians (as always), and Algeria and Morocco both upholding Sharia blasphemy laws that outrage the freedom of conscience, it seems strange to lament the passing of the status quo ante, but Roblin makes his agenda clear when he writes that “as is so often the case with Trump, his characterization bears little relationship with reality.”

This and more in his article makes it obvious that the “military writer” is not engaged in actual foreign policy analysis, but is just out to tar Trump in any way he can. For it is absolutely true that the Israel-Morocco peace agreement and U.S. recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara may indeed turn out to have ill effects, but NBC News readers, not known for being the sharpest knives in the drawer, may not realize that such speculation can be carried out in virtually any context, but during the Obama years, seldom (if ever) was.
For example, if Sébastien Roblin had been so inclined, he could have written about how the “Arab Spring” uprisings that the Obama administration supported so enthusiastically were really just Muslim Brotherhood initiatives designed to impose Sharia in various North African states, but back when that “Spring” was in full flower, NBC News and all its establishment colleagues were busy popping open the champagne and hailing the far-sightedness of their Nobel laureate president.
Even Fox, which was years away from switching sides back then, hailed the coming of “democracy” to Egypt and other North African states, and never once considered the possibility that the Great Leader Obama might have made a world-historical misstep that would take decades (or longer) to clear up. Nor was there any chorus of disapproval or dark warnings of negative consequences when Obama and Hillary Clinton destabilized Libya and offered up our consular staff in Benghazi in their efforts to save face.
But Trump makes a move for peace, and NBC hastens to tell us it will mean war. Sébastien Roblin is here carrying water for the failed foreign policy establishment that is licking its chops at the prospect of Obama’s dotty old puppet entering the Oval Office and getting the chance to implement its failed policies yet again. Trump, the non-politician, the genuine outsider, has shown them all up by concluding these peace deals. He has shown their analyses to be false and their recommendations to be wrongheaded.
And so he must be destroyed – not just turned out of office by hook or by crook (with a heavy emphasis on crook), but completely and utterly discredited. This endeavor is a cornerstone of the political elites’ effort to make sure that an uprising such as the one Trump represented will never happen and can never happen again. Not only was he stupid and corrupt, we are told, but even his successes were failures, and only the establishment’s failures are really successes. Understood properly by the self-anointed experts, Trump’s peace meant war, and only their multiply-failed proposals can set things right.
And so for Sébastien Roblin, war is peace and peace is war, George Orwell is reconfirmed as a prophet, and soon Trump’s successes will be consigned to the memory hole. Then everything will be all right. The powerful will have restored and further secured their power. As the world explodes with bloody new conflicts, they can sip their champagne and congratulate themselves over how they removed that warmonger Trump and restored peace to the world.

I read BB for years, until they were too quick to name Biden as Pres. elect.
I put up with all the “Hey, look what the jerks over at ____ are saying!”
I figured the high blood pressure this was giving me was worth in order to stay informed.
But you know what? I feel a heck of a lot better NOT being informed of what these enemies of America are saying. So I don’t even go to other media anymore, at least not for a while, yet.

Obama would have been praised to the Heavens, applauded world-wide, and loaded up with more Nobel Prizes than he could carry.
Our nation’s press is our enemy. Not just conservatives, but everybody’s enemy. When this is done, people’s minds are twisted.

If Trump says something is white, the liberal media will say it is black.
Pay no attention to the liberal media. Lying is equivalent to breathing for them.

If it’s from NBC, it isn’t worth spit. NBC isn’t reporting all the garbage in the bill that is going to third world toilet countries and their vermin scum.

I am old enough to remember the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In all my years I have never seen such extreme hatred, animosity and disrespect of a President of the United States as I have seen with President Donald Trump. With President Donald Trump there was the long running phony Russian Collusion, that the Main Stream News Media ran with. There was also the completely baseless attempt at Presidential Impeachment. Now we have the most Fraudulent Presidential Election with massive Voter Fraud and the Main Stream News media and others are just trying to cover it all up like no Fraud ever happened. Now even peace treaties that between Israel and other nations are being criticized and people are saying that this will cause war. It sure looks like some people in the Democrat Party are doing all this because President Trump stands in the way of the Democrats seizing power and turning this nation into a Socialist-Communist country.

NBC`s hit piece is pure Orwell, as, in left world, “peace is war”, “up is down”, “slavery is freedom” and “black is white”. I`m stunned that so many otherwise intelligent Americans have been so easily brainwashed by the left into believing the opposites of what exists. If only there was a way to de program them, so that they could regain their rational faculties and common sense.

Those stupid NBC employees perceive Israelis as aggressors.It seems that Sebastian Roblin fully satisfies the editorial and publishing policy of this media, otherwise his article would not have been published. There it is even difficult to understand what motivates them it may be either Trump derangement syndrome (TDS), or a new -old format of anti-Zionism. But most likely there are both syndromes.

But everyone could have heard enough of stupid predictions from the half-witted Kassanders who work for the fake media when Trump recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli.It was also perceived negatively by fake journalists and progressive society that POTUS Donald Trump moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Also, the progressive public in the person of fake journalists did not like that Trump began choking UNRWA. Although these were the best decisions that an American president could have made. Those who write all sorts of nonsense about Trump’s decisions in the Middle East, in fact, dream that there would be protracted wars. Moreover, these people are clearly with an anti-Semitic syndrome. They are pleased to sacrifice the interests of Israel, they are not looking for other solutions .

Thanks to Trump’s wise policies, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has no money to pay its employees. This fact makes every normal person satisfied. But progressive community in the person of Biden and others like him very upset. In my opinion, they have already started to finance the Palestinians .They will definitely start do it at the first such opportunity, if I am wrong and they have not already started .

For all those concerned about war I will suggest a reading of Revelation. Then put your mask on and go hide.

Right now, the mainstream media is not an organization of the free press…It is a socialist disease…a pandemic, harmful to the people, which should be eradicated from existence…
