There was one video clip from President Trump’s widely broadcast, candid, Wednesday conversation on school safety that was played over and over again. It featured a grieving Andrew Pollack, passionately expressing his feelings over the loss of his 18-year-old daughter, Meadow.
It was a riveting, poignant moment bastardized by many in the media. They selectively edited Mr. Pollack’s words to fit their narrative; “families” demanding, “….swift action to change our nation’s gun laws.” That was their disgustingly, dishonest pitch, in spite of the fact Pollack said just the opposite.
Here’s the deceitful version.
IT’S NOT ABOUT GUN LAWS
This is the video that honestly represents the heartbroken dad’s thinking. Mr. Pollack flatly states, “It’s not about gun laws.”
You’d think it inconceivable reporters could be so heartless as to completely and deliberately misrepresent the thinking of a dad still deeply in mourning over the murder of his daughter. Nope.
We’d like to think there’s a special place in “journalism hell” for such soulless scribes. But given so many of them continue, unrestrained, along this amoral path, their designated space in that fiery inferno may already be over-booked.

The Importance of Prayer: How a Christian Gold Company Stands Out by Defending Americans’ Retirement
The media are nothing more than propagandists – If this doesn’t describe today’s so-called journalists,
I don’t know what does – (quoted from Wiki); [comments added]
“Propaganda is information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda [gun control] often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented [editing Pollock’s statement]. Propaganda is often associated with material prepared by governments,[Deep State] but activist groups, companies and the media can also produce propaganda.
In the twentieth century, the term propaganda has been associated with a manipulative approach, but propaganda historically was a neutral descriptive term. A wide range of materials and media are used for conveying propaganda messages, which changed as new technologies were invented, including paintings, cartoons, posters, pamphlets, films, radio shows, TV shows, and websites [social media].
In a 1929 literary debate with Edward Bernays, Everett Dean Martin argues that, “Propaganda is making puppets of us. We are moved by hidden strings which the propagandist manipulates.”
Today’s media is engaging in the exact same thing Goebbels did during WWII in Hitler’s Third Reich, but they think they are so saavy, so glib, so brilliant, shrewd and clever, that we are all going to just roll over and believe whatever they tell us. Some will, some won’t but regardless, they are doing the dirty work of the Deep State. They are the bootlickers for the post-Obama Administration.
On another note, I also find it rather interesting, in light of all this talk of guns, age at which you can purchase guns, the repeal of the 2nd Amendment – the wet dream of the left, etc., that in the very recent past, where we saw the media bastardize Judge Moore for his so-called indiscretions, the media attempting to pin some lascivious act on Donald Trump and the barrage of women coming forward about men making comments to them in the work place, or some unwanted advance viewed as “unacceptable” in the work place, dangerous environment and the pussy-hat group wanting “safe-spaces.” So let me get this straight – men are dangerous predators when they make a comment about a women’s looks, and should be punished. Hmmm… men are evil predators, yet women don’t want to protect themselves from them in any meaningful way? Sort of a contradiction. You’d think they’d want guns! Just in case one of those high-Testosterone, libidinous bullies comes her way.
They just can’t help lying and giving edited interview versions to support their positions! So how many does this make?
As always, the media will dissect statements to promote their agenda.
There is no lie too big, or propaganda meme too grotesque, that ENE-Media organs like CNN will not excrete into the public consciousness in order to advance the Socialist agenda of their patrons in the Democrat Party.
Therefore, the ENE-Media excoriates ANYONE who questions the advisability of taking policy suggestions from traumatized, emotionally overwrought teenagers regarding difficult social issues like Gun issues. However, in the very next breath, they censor students (and, as seen above, parents) with different views, such as Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor Colton Haab. After refusing to go along with the SCRIPT CNN gave him, Haab decided NOT to take part in the Orwellian anti-Gun Two Minute Hate fest that they pathetically tried to disguise as a “Town Hall” discussion.
Then, when Haab went public with the CNN producer’s dishonest demands, CNN denied it all and essentially called HIM a LIAR.
The ENE-Media is BENEATH contempt; ALL their operatives should be shunned and ridiculed IN PUBLIC, ON AIR, TO THEIR FACES by all who understand how much their unconstitutional agenda seeks to… and succeeds in… hurting this country.

You stated it pretty well. These low lifes are nothing more than a propaganda arm for the DNC. This forum may help people vent but it’s mostly just preaching to the Choir.
