Is it True

or did you see it in the News Media?

The Loser of the Week, the Media

• Let’s start with poor Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior advisor to President Trump. Wired.com, described by Media Bias Fact Check as a left-of-center media source, reported that Kushner has been registered to vote as a woman since 2009.

what actually happened that Kushner filled out the registration form correctly: The mistake was due to a data entry error by the New York Board of Elections.

Imagine that...a government worker making a mistake. That hardly EVER happens.

First Lady Melania Trump donated ten Dr. Seuss books to an elementary school in Cambridge, Massachusetts, only to have them publicly rejected by librarian Liz Phipps Soeiro.

• No mention of Soeiro dressing up as The Cat in the Hat on her school’s twitter blog to help celebrate Seuss’ birthday. No mention of the Democrat mayor of Seuss’ birthplace saying Soeiro’s "comments stink and are ridiculous." No mention of previous First Ladies reading Dr. Seuss books to children, including Michelle Obama, or if Soeiro would ever dare write Mrs. Obama a similarly toned rejection letter. No mention of Soeiro’s responsibility to teach her students how to graciously accept gifts, also considering Mrs. Trump’s letter was addressed to the students, not their librarian.

Crocodile Tears and Excuses from Puerto Rico and CNN

• The media, having found a successful play to cripple a Republican president, is trying to run the same play against President Trump. Hurricane Katrina was thought to be a turning point in the George W Bush presidency. The less than stellar response from the federal government was hung around his neck. Successfully.

The Media is out to bring Trump down. 95% of all comments and stories in the News is negative.

*Puerto Rico is different. San Juan Mayor Yulin Cruz is busy bashing President Trump and hurricane relief. Anderson Cooper from CNN, Johnny on the spot, was there to feel her pain and report her criticism of Trump.
.
How ironic that the mayor was interviewed with a backdrop of pallets of food and water sitting in a warehouse, rather than being distributed.

• not likely to be reported on CNN is a phone call from a female police officer in Puerto Rico to a US radio station. She was upset and sharing “how the Mayor of San Juan is politicizing the situation and not offering help.”

• Clinton chimed in with a tweet. “President Trump, Sec. Mattis, and DOD should send the Navy, including the USNS Comfort, to Puerto Rico now.
  The Navy had been there from the start.

• Washington Post resident #NeverTrump blogger Jennifer Rubin chimed in with, “Many Americans think foreign aid is a waste. Puerto Rico shows why it’s not.” Apparently not realizing that Puerto Rico is a US territory, not a foreign country. Not surprising as the Beltway media believes most of the noncoastal America is a foreign country.

The Progressive Psychology of Exploiting a Crisis
*Rahm Emanuel's infamous cat-out-of-the-bag moment – "never let a crisis go to waste" – has quickly evolved from an awkward instance of progressive self-revelation into the proud mantra of the American left. Leftists are no longer even ashamed at the old accusation of "politicizing a tragedy." Tragedy – the bigger, the better – is the grease in their wheels. Politicizing hardship has always been their stock in trade, and now, through years of practice, they have trained to the public to regard this extreme cynicism as the norm, so that the accusation no longer carries any meaning.

if there IS no crisis...are they above making one?
