With the arrival of Donald Trump onto the political scene, and something exacerbated even more by the fact that he managed to get himself elected president, there has been a growing list of those employed there at Fox News for whom maintaining the charade of being “Fair and Balanced” has now become next to impossible. You know, folks like Dana Perino, John Roberts, Chris Wallace, Bret Baier, Geraldo, Shepard Smith and Juan Williams. And to that list we can also now apparently add Martha MacCallum. While I have never viewed her as being an actual Trump supporter she, unlike Megyn Kelly in the past, has usually managed to keep her dislike of the president a little better under wraps. But apparently that’s no longer the case!
Because during a recent interview with Politico’s
“Women Rule” podcast which was released this past Wednesday, MacCallum stated
she finds President Trump’s labeling of some things as “fake news”
“disturbing.” She also said that the media oftentimes “doesn’t cut him a
break.” Personally I see nothing wrong
with the president placing a label on that which it so very obviously is. Sadly, a very large percentage of what is,
today, presented as being ‘real news’, is ,at least as it may relate to the
president, is ‘fake.’ There’s simply no
other way to describe it. And I also
have no problem with the president’s description of ‘fake news’ as being the
enemy of the people. Because those who
spew pure propaganda ARE the enemy of the people!
MacCallum said, “I find it disturbing. I think it’s
a mistake. I think there have been mistakes made on all sides of this equation.
I think that often, the media doesn’t cut him a break. I think they, many
times, don’t give him credit for anything. … On the other hand, when he points
at the press in the back of the room and calls them the ‘enemy of the people,’
that is wrong. And it exacerbates the situation, and I think it inflames the
media towards him. And unfortunately, we’re all human, so people’s feelings get
hurt. And — but I think it puts all of us in a bad place. I think it makes some
members of the media unfair to him. And I think it makes him unfair in his
broad strokes about ‘fake news.'”
I do find it all rather interesting that the one
party that seldom deviates one iota from their socialist/hate-America agenda, the
party that quashes all freedom of thought when it comes to minorities in this country
with the sense that they should believe nothing other than what they’re told by
Democrats, the party that seeks only to ‘redistribute wealth in the name of the
greater good’, and who routinely calls out the opposing party as being fascists,
racists, white supremacists and Nazis, is seen as being somehow above criticism,
while President Trump is not. Democrats
have perfected the art of accusing the Republicans of everything Democrats
really do. And the obedient, hypnotized, thrill up the leg masses sing right along
with their masters.
Up to know I had always thought that Martha was a
bit more objective and therefore less susceptible when it came to falling for
the type of fiction we see being spewed on CNN, MSNBC and the alphabet networks
and by those who insist upon referring to themselves as ‘journalists.’ They are not, and should be called out for it.
President Trump is exactly right in doing as he is doing. He is a man of the people and we the people
are disgusted with the media. The perpetrators
of ‘Fake News’ ARE the enemies of the people and until they are able to see the
error of their ways they need to wear Trump’s moniker of ‘fake news’. And a well-earned it is. And it’s one they will continue to be made to
wear until they change their ways.
As we have progressed through the Trump presidency
it would seem that McCallum’s dislike for Trump has now gotten to the point
where like so many others on the network, it simply oozes out of her. It’s
gotten to the point where I can’t even watch her anymore. I don’t even turn the channel on until eight o’clock,
when Tucker comes on. From there I watch
Hannity followed by Laura Ingraham and then go to bed. Perhaps Martha and Megyn Kelly, now that
she’s out of another job, might want get together and start up their own Trump
hating network. But then with the number
of Trump haters growing there at Fox News there may be no need to start a new
network. Hell, maybe Megyn will come
back and join the Hate-Trump crowd.
And finally, what I find as being “disturbing” is that by saying that she’s “disturbed” by President Trump’s “attacks” on the media, MacCallum and your fellow corporate sell-outs there at Fox News are essentially adopting the CNN/MSNBC meme, instead of choosing to maintain that which once set Fox News apart from the ‘faux news’ organizations in the first place. The larger point here is President Trump has been, and continues to be, viciously attacked from the very moment he announced he was going to run by all of the networks and nearly 24/7. The man was accused of colluding with Russia, cavorting with hookers and tax cheating, and his family has also been viscously attacked. And yet because he’s president he is not permitted to fight back?
