Be wary of media
I am pleased with President Trump doing what he promised during his campaign. Most politicians promise everything and do nothing. Not this time.
The media are so used to being kowtowed to that they are really having a tough time believing he is president. Their normal biased reporting is now being challenged and they are at a loss for how to handle him. I am sure the media are getting many emails, tweets and phone calls blasting them, along with members of Congress, governors and mayors all wondering how can this be.
It is no longer safe for the media to use terms like “anonymous sources,” “spoke on condition of anonymity,” “official sources close to the president,” or the media favorite: “The New York Times” says. If there are sources, why not name them? If you are leaking classified information, the source should be identified and charged accordingly.
The New York Times said that Hillary had a 90 percent chance of winning one week before the election. Why? Biased polling?
