I do get tired of the lazy press

with headlines like this "It's hard to be as unpopular as President Donald Trump when the economy is going so well."

http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/04/news/economy/trump-economy-approval-rating/index.html


Trump has nothing to do with this economy, it is still a reflection of Obama's policies

This lets him and his lackey's spout great job numbers even though they are a little slower than this time last year and
the press hardly ever pushes back on this talking point

Mr.Obama is never going to get his credit on positive regulations and rules that helped our nation overcome the largest Wealth theft our nation has ever let happen.

If Poor people could advertise on Corporate Media,the messages would change.

is this tendency surprising?

And with Sinclair Media poised to become even stronger, it will get worse.

...they are bought and paid for propagandists, pure and simple...

While money via Citizen's United is the root of all the evil currently infecting our democracy, the near total subjugation of our "media" has allowed for millions of our citizens to be completely brainwashed.
