There are a great many ideas promoted by the mainstream media that are completely wrong and need to be exposed. Here are just a few:
1. Claim: Donald Trump won because his campaign gave a platform to white supremacists. That's right Hillary was defeated by white racists.
Reality: In 2012, Mitt Romney got a higher percentage of the white vote than Trump got in 2016. Meanwhile, Trump got a higher percentage of black and Hispanic votes in 2016 than Romney got in 2012. In short, Trump did not win using racism.
2. Claim: Donald Trump is anti-gay and he and his campaign are anti-Semitic.
Reality: Trump never said or proposed anything that could be called anti-gay. As for supposed anti-Semitism, Trump's daughter Ivanka is married to an orthodox Jew and she converted. Her kids (Trump's grandchildren) are Jewish. In addition, Trump and the GOP are much more supportive of Israel than Clinton and the Democrats were.
3. Claim: The Trump transition effort is disorganized and chaotic.
Reality: At this point, Trump has named more cabinet choices than any of his recent predecessors had done. In addition, Trump is actively involved in policy moves like the Carrier deal to save jobs and the promise from Softbank of Japan of a massive pro-growth investment in the USA. Further, many of the Trump cabinet choices are acknowledged to be extremely strong.
4. Claim: Trump's tweets directly to the public are unpresidential.
Reality: by tweeting, Trump is doing what president Obama has done for years. The difference is that Trump avoids the anodyne messages that Obama put out. Trump makes his points directly to millions on social media and it irks the mainstream media that they don't get to decide what the public gets to hear each day. The media is no long the gate keeper for news.
5. Claim: Trump has too many generals in his cabinet.
Reality: So far, Trump has named two generals to the cabinet and he has another on his staff. It's not at all unusual to have generals in the cabinet. Think of general Powell for Bush or General Shinseki for Obama. The men named by Trump have unique skills that make them well suited to their respective positions. There is no reason why military service would disqualify someone from heading the Defense Department or Homeland Security.
There's more of these idiotic positions from the media and the Democrats, but you get the picture.
