The Washington Post has conceded defeat in their vindictive war against President Trump.
Philip Bump, a columnist for the Post, wrote an article headlined, “Trump’s already largely won his war against the media.”
Bump began his article by explaining, “The choice that President Trump asks America to make is a simple one… Who are you going to believe: an industry of people whose jobs depend on presenting factually accurate information about what’s happening in the world — or me?”
And from the outset, we’ve seen how his supporters answer that question,” Bump lamented. “They believe him.”
Of course, this isn’t a symptom of hero-worship as Bump argues, but rather a logical response to the media’s blatant liberal bias against Donald Trump (RELATED: CNN Debuts The Most Idiotic, Anti-Trump Ad Ever). Even failed President Jimmy Carter recently commented on the overwhelmingly negative coverage his administration receives. Many supposedly objective journalists have made undermining Trump’s legitimacy their primary objective. Like all liberals, the ends justify the means.
Bump goes on to explain that more than one-quarter of adults view Trump as their most-trusted news source. That includes more than 50 percent of Republicans.
“Among Trump supporters, Trump has already won his war on the media,” he concludes. “After decades of declining public trust in the media (which helped him win that war), even many of those predisposed to dislike Trump seem to agree with one of his central arguments about the press: It acts unfairly.”
Although Bump isn’t as complacent as many of his colleagues, he and the rest of the media continues to exhibit a prejudice against conservatives that will ensure their influence continues to dwindle.
