More Media Bias

There are some demonstrations still going on in New York, LA and other cities.  The point of the demonstrators is unhappiness with the results of the election.  It's an immature and pointless response.  The demonstrations won't and can't change anything.  Donald Trump is the President Elect.  Nevertheless, some portions of the mainstream media are really getting into this story as if it were meaningful.  For example, NBC and MSNBC are trying to paint Trump as being under siege by the protesters.  It's amazingly dishonest.  People have to right to march through Manhattan if they want to waste their time doing so.  The point, however, is that the march has no effect at all on Trump.  For NBC, however, that doesn't matter.  In the latest story from that network about the demonstration Saturday afternoon in New York, NBC talks about Trump Tower as the place where Donald Trump is "holed up".  Actually, Trump Tower is the place where Donald Trump and his family live.  He was in his office this afternoon meeting with his team and working on the transition. 

Why is it that NBC can't be honest?  Why can't it be impartial?  If the NBC reporters want to tell us about the protest, that's fine.  I doubt many people care about it, but NBC can still report on it.  It's just wrong, however, for the jerks at NBC to try to paint a phony picture of reality.  They should stop.  They did enough damage during the campaign with their biased stories.  Most likely, Trump would not have won but for the reaction of the American people against the obvious lies of the media.  But it's even worse.  The media sponsored poll after poll that turned out to be wrong.  Then they reported over and over again about those erroneous polls.  Remember three weeks ago, the big story in the mainstream media was that Hillary had clearly won the election and was busy trying to expand the field into as many states as possible and to work to help Democrat candidates up and down the ballot.  Then two and a half weeks later, Hillary lost, the Democrats in Congress lost, the Democrats did not even take back the senate despite having the best possible chance to do so, and the Democrats in state races got creamed.  America knows this; we understand that the media is either delusional or dishonest.  So now, once this has all been revealed, one would think that the mainstream media would be trying to regain the trust of the average American.  They're not.  Instead, the mainstream media is pushing a new dishonest storyline.  To make matters worse, it's a storyline that is OBVIOUSLY dishonest.  Telling lies is bad enough; telling lies that most people can easily see to be lies is just plain crazy.
