Great analogy from Don Surber:
Press Privilege
Imagine if you went to the fanciest French restaurant in town, told the maître d' he is a bloviating buffoon who should quit his job, that the food in the place is garbage, and then demanded the best table in the restaurant.
That is the best analogy of the situation in Iowa where the Des Moines Register on Tuesday demanded that Donald Trump drop out of the presidential race, and then on Friday demanded that Donald Trump give them special access to his campaign event
Trump told the newspaper to bite him.
Good for him.
The hypocrisy dripping from the newspaper gets worse. In its editorial, the newspaper said that Trump “has polluted the political waters to such an extent that serious candidates who actually have the credentials to serve as president can’t get their message across to voters. In fact, some of them can’t even win a spot in one of the upcoming debates, since those slots are reserved for candidates leading in the polls.”
Well, if the newspaper is so concerned about all the ink he is getting there is one thing it can do.
Stop covering him.
Instead, the newspaper demanded that the Trump campaign give the newspaper press credentials.
The newspaper protested, claiming that "The Register's editorial board operates independently from the editors and reporters who conduct political coverage."
Oh really?
But the publisher sits on the board, does she not?
The bias in today's media is incredible - does no one have the simple courage to speak the truth and hold these politicians feet to the fire - on both sides.
