Trump's Approval Soars as Media Seeks Blackout

The Washington radio station cited "a pattern of false or misleading information provided that cannot be fact checked in real time" as the reason to dump Trump.

Even Joe Biden - the man who launched his presidential campaign from the platform that Trump is terrible for the country and must be removed at all costs - has said the president is doing a good job during the emergency and expressed hope for his continued success.

How else can they prevent his re-election? Well, if nonstop negative coverage helped Trump win the White House in 2016, perhaps refusing to publish his pressers will cost him the win in 2020.

These regular updates have been called by many in the media little more than Trump campaign events, so this move should come as no surprise.

What about the claim that the briefings are chock full of lies? The Associated Press took it upon themselves to fact check the president, to once and for all prove either that Trump is a liar or that the anti-Trump media is simply biased.

"Additionally, they did not put President Trump's statements in context and created an inaccurate perception for the reader of what the president said." When Dave lined up what the AP attributed to the president beside what Trump actually said and the historical data that backs up his claim, the discrepancies - and the AP's bias - became glaringly clear.

Setting aside the increasingly common conflict of profits vs political bias, isn't there a far more compelling reason for the press to report the actions and words of Donald Trump than whether or not they think he's honest or what kind of ratings he can draw? He is the president of the United States, and almost everything he says and does - certainly anything said during a media briefing - is a matter of national history.
