The Bill Press Radio Show: Trump Tweets--Are They News

Should the news outlets be reporting on Donald Trump's Tweets as if they are  breaking news.

NO!!!

This is not news....Folks, this is why we have a carnival barker as president.

This was part of the discussion on the Bill Press Radio Show today.  Are the donald's tweets newsworthy and should they be talking about them the whole time.

Peter Ogburn made the notable point that fiance is involved and this may not stop as long as the networks are making money over this kind of information.

Readers, it is often said that Colonel Tom Parker, the manager of Elvis Presley, who was indeed a carnival barker had the ability to meet someone, a customer, and immediately know what to say in order to sway their opinion favorable to his goal.

This is who our president is--a huckster, a carnival barker, a media genius.  This individual managed to play the media, my beloved CNN to a degree that he ended up controlling everything.
Ronnie has always loved Wolf Blitzer

Let me give an example..........


Always watching the news with the run up to the election and the Belgian Airport crisis happened.  Unfortunately for the listeners and those wanting information this happened at exactly the same time donald and Ted Cruz were in a Twitter war exchanging insults about the "look" of their wives.

CNN had a panel about the elections, it may have been the night of a primary.......

They must have spent at least 30 seconds talking about the Belgian catastrophe, but no, they immediately went back to talking about the tweets of the waring candidates and their wives.

It was annoying and unfair to the watcher.  This was not news by any means but CNN promoted it big time.

Historian Douglas Brinkley commented later.........Hillary Clinton and John Kasich were the only two of the giant group running that made statements that were reassuring to the American public and sounded presidential and had a plan about what to do.

CNN and all of the other news groups made an error and the public is paying for it.  They fore sake actual pertinent information for ratings.

The networks dished the donald up for us but the consumers will be the ones to pay for it.

Shall we start with health care.....Planned Parenthood.

What is news--let the networks take a look now and reevaluate their coverage.

Good Show Bill Press--well done.

@Bakari Sellers: Would love to hear him speak at the Democratic Convention in support of Hillary Clinton





Bakari Sellers


Would love to hear him speak at the Democratic Convention in support of Hillary Clinton.

Well done last evening and yesterday on CNN going against the false claims of the trump group.

He speaks with passion yet never crosses the line of being inappropriate or saying the wrong thing on national television.

Good job at getting the message across.

Wish I could talk like that.

Ana Navarro lays out Corey Lewandowski: That's my fantasy--Media Unanimously Hates CNN For Corey Lewandowski Hire




copied from the young turks...........


Love your vids. Here's the thing, I love CNN and have been watching them forever, love Wolf Blitzer, but lately....what are they thinking? Who is running the show there. Instead of reporting important information they focused on Trump's statements about how John Kasich eats. That is not news, but they went on with those kind of statements endlessly.

I hope Corey Lewandowski ends up on a panel with Ana Navarro and S.E. Cupp. While I am a dem I still like these ladies and value what they say. To me, they are the new face of the Republican Party. They will slam the screen door in his face so fast he won't be able to run away quick enough. That is probably what CNN wants anyway, fireworks for ratings.

Doubt if Corey will last long, but the question remains--where will we get our

news.


Jake Tapper and David Gregory are impressive as news people. It is fine if the reps from campaigns frame their statements as opinion, but when Jeffery Lord wants to state his opinion as fact it is annoying. I guess they got good ratings from the fireworks between Jeffery Lord and Van Jones as they played it often. Perhaps this is their goal with Lewandowski.

Everything about Trump is a food fight and CNN is buying into it but they should say what is opinion and what is news or facts.

America's Date with The Devil: Is CNN the Maitre d'.......



Listening to news, usually CNN, and troubled about the political coverage.

Recently, on CNN after the Brussels incident presidential historian, Douglas Brinkley said the only two candidates to offer reasuring words and actually have a reasonable plan and sound presidential are Hillary Clinton and John Kasich.  Their panel of experts must have talked about that for at least 30 seconds and then went straight back to talk about Ted Cruz and Donald Trump and their wives fighting via twitter.

The 24 hour cable news stations have fallen for the donald hook line and sinker.  I guess it is ratings and he is a good story given policy can be a little boring.  Donald says something stupid each day and that is all they talk about.

At the end of the day it is really not news and the viewer is the loser.

Also, the other folks running for office cannot really talk in the same Archie Bunker lingo that the donald uses because they have to represet their voters as elected officials and if they said the things donald said they would be thrown out of office for being racist.

Why do they not explain all of that on the news, why politicians talk the way they do and the whole world is listening, etc.

Also, as the field narrowed I wonder why they did not have serious debates on the GOP side.  We know every detail of what Hillary and Bernie think and Kasich or Cruz could have easily held their own in debates--the donald--not so much.

Also, I wonder why donald was not called out as soon as he started talking about rounding people up because that is certainly not the stance of the Republican Party.  He never really went along with the GOP platform.

Why did they have their big study after Mitt Romney lost the last election.

Today, KOGO 600 in San Diego is hosting a panel discussing the media--hopefully some of these questions will be answered.

Really sad to miss this event, Ted Garcia of the morning news who is conducting the panel said it will be on the website of KOGO.

Coincidentally, The Los Angeles World Affairs Council will have an event this evening featuring Karl Rove talking about the same subject.  Always wanting to attend one of these functions hopefully there will be a way to see this discussion at a later date, as well.

Personally, one would like to ask CNN, why are you reporting trump's comments about the way John Kasich eats as opposed to why your are not hosting debates on the GOP side about policy and philosphies of each candidates campaign?  

What is the real reason you are not having informational debates and focusing on spaghetti?

I guess that would not bring in quite as many ratings, but in the end were the pancake statements really newsworthy.

CNN might want to ask themselves these in depth questions.

Perhaps, there should be  a study about what happened to cable news as well as the Republican Party.

CNN: Hair On Fire News

Chloe Louise 

Just wanted to say Douglas Brinkley on CNN yesterday said the only two people running for President who actually acted Presidential regarding the tragedy in Brussells were John Kasich and Hillary Clinton. 
I'm watching you CNN


They had good things to say about bringing the nation together and standing with the other countries affected by terrorism and reasonable plans about what to do while trump and Cruz talked about defunding NATO and carpet bombing and water boarding

These two played on the fears of the general population while John Kasich had a positive and realistic plan, and also Clinton. 

Then, as usual, CNN went on to spend the rest of the time talking about the ridiculous statements of donald trump

To me, it was very discouraging because I again am thinking the donald is a product of the 24/7 news cycle and hair on fire headlines. 

It is very annoying because not only are people's lives at stake but they are also not reporting or talking about the news. 

Douglas Brinkley is a presidential historian and this was a panel about the election results.


Readers, I am afraid of donald trump.

While Ted Cruz is a brilliant speaker is is really not electable in a general election.

The political conversation in our great country should be about issues and policy and who could actually govern without provoking thoughts and ideas to incite fear and hatred.

donald trump successfully creates a headline daily, and stupidly CNN falls for it everyday.

Beautiful Bluebird Ana Navarro Slams the Screendoor at donald trump for promoting violence

CNN today.

Stunningly beautiful in her bright blue suit, Republican commentator Ana Navarro said there was always violence now at the rallies of donald trump and we can expect more.

Telling the story of a female reporter that was met with rough treatment at a rally, Ana said this cannot be tolerated.

Ana Navarro said it was a right in our country to protest and we all can see this everyday if we just walk by the Whitehouse.

Anna went on to explain that this is an everyday occurrence--folks want to have a voice if they do not like what the man or woman in the Whitehouse is doing--these individuals cannot be faced with baseball bats just because they have an opposing view.

Also on CNN this morning Professor Washington said it was shameful for violence to be taking place at a political rally in this day and age.

For the Ronnie Republic Ana Navarro, SE Cupp and John Kasich and Marco Rubio are the new face of the Republican Party.

These individuals are modern and saying their views about policy--they are accepting men and women that do not look like them.

Anna Navarro said she will be voting for her friend Marco Rubio who fared very well at the GOP debate last evening.Image result for ana navarro

Chloe Louise is leading the Cats for Kasich contingent and her contacts have said to her there is a good chance the pit bull league will go that way as well.

David Gergan said today on CNN there is a very good chance that John Kasich will be the one to take one of the wheels off the trump mobile.
Ronnie:  Pitbulls for peaceful politics--we can't let violence stop us from moving forward politically

I hate anthony bourdain...let me count the ways.......

This is someone who glorifies drinking.

An individual who talks about drugs with an aura of braggadocio.

Seriously, listeners, I'm so cool I can talk about these subjects....let me throw in my two cents of hard living and oh, yes, I'll brag about it, too.

I get to talk--I've been there.

And worse than all of that....he eats meat and he is completely disrespectful about it.

Yes, I would like to see Cuba just like everyone--I would love to go there--I admire him for trying to establish a relationship with the regular folks of the country he visits.

He seems to have respect as a visitor for the people he visits.......or is that just equal respect for other ultra-cool chefs like himself.

I don't like him.

If CNN shows that horrible ad of him acting like an idiot with the barbecued pig wearing a hat one more time I do not know what I am going to do.

Have you ever seen a pig.....do you know how intelligent they are...do you know how beautiful they are......have you ever looked into their eyes?

Try a little respect on for size just one time Anthony--try a little humility.


He is a jerk to the viewers and a jerk to the animals he eats,

Your thoughts.........
