To the surprise of almost no one who follows the way most mainstream media works….
…we have this from Steve Malzberg’s article for newsbusters.org:
February is Black History Month, so it shouldn’t be considered unreasonable for one to expect to see media coverage of President Trump’s White House event, which took place on Wednesday, in recognition of the contributions of Black Americans.
But as we’ve seen since 2017, the elitist media is allergic to official White House events under Trump, which are automatically dismissed as sickening. The Wednesday evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS all skipped it. PBS preferred to spend eight mournful minutes on ICE-related trauma: “Minnesota schools and students struggle with fallout of immigration crackdown.”
Fox News’s Special Report With Bret Baier did mention the White House event, and Laura Ingraham made it the focus of her opening ‘Angle’ on Fox’s The Ingraham Angle.
Was this a Trump-promoting event; one which was tailored to show Trump in a positive light? Sure, of course it was.
So has every other President’s event for Black History Month since its inception in 1970.
But most mainstream media have covered these events when they were held by other presidents. Not Trump, though.
Bottom line? If they can nail Trump they will. If they can show him in a positive light? Not so fast.
Are you surprised? As noted at the beginning of this blog, if you follow the way mainstream media works the answer is almost certainly no.
Nor should you be.
