The thing is Cenk has been right quite a few times now: How Ivanka Could End The Trump Presidency






Does Ivanka really expect anyone to take her seriously after her recent ridiculous performance in Jerusalem.

She claims to care so much about children but it would be nice if she could just be a little more informed about the issues of the Palestinians.

On a recent trip to Ramallah with Bike Palestine one is convinced the world does not really have an accurate view of the people and places of Palestine.

On the news we just see fighting--we do not see the lovely, historic cities, the food, the hospitality of the people, the religious sites, and the struggle the moms face in just trying to get enough water to bathe their children.

We do not see the settlements, the wall, the disturbing checkpoints.

We do not see the beautiful resorts.

We do not taste the hummus and the amazing falafel.

The candy and the nut and dried fruit shops in Ramallah--that alone is worth the trip.

Just asking--could Ivanka possibly take some time to be a little more informed about the situation.

We are happy for her she is real rich and beautiful--let her use her position to gain knowledge about others in our world that are less fortunate.

Let her not be so one-sided in her information base--it would be refreshing.

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.
