Martha MacCallum, FOX, and TRUMP

fire

Martha MacCallum is doing a new show called “Trump’s First 100 Days” (or something like that)….no problem.  What does bother me is that she was interviewed on Sunday saying “we’re going to hold his feet to the fire!”  (wait, like every other media venue won’t?)

Who ever held Obama’s feet to the fire, let along a TV channel which supposedly held his point of view?   CNN?  No.   MSNBC?  Heck no.

But FOX?  Ya, THEY’ll hold Trump’s feet to the fire……

Do I think it’s wrong to do that?  No.   Am I tired of having the one venue we can count on to better reflect OUR ideology tear apart those who support our ideology? You bet.
You?

I’m a big fan of Martha’s…let’s see if that stays constant.

    Fox isn’t as conservative, or as ‘balanced’ as ‘they’ say they are. I’m sure every decision PRESIDENT Trump will be vilified by all sides. ‘They’ need to give him a chance. I usually like Martha, but I guess we’ll see.

    The MSM isn’t going to make sure that Trump CARRIES OUT his promises… THAT is what I hope Martha MacCallum means. That she will ensure that HE DOES!

    I continue to be disappointed in the political climate…the left feels that Trump is unqualified to be the president even though he won by a huge margin and all they can say is he will be a horrible president. The country needs to give him a chance.

    What “Linda” said above! Fox is not really very conservative anymore. I like Stuart Varney, but it’s mostly Financial News. These talking heads aren’t worth giving my time to anymore, in my never-to-be-humble opinion. Most of my news these days is from conservative on-line sources.

    Mrs. Grundy! You said “The MSM isn’t going to make sure that Trump CARRIES OUT his promises… ” Are you joking? They’re already slamming him for being unable to do ANYTHING he’s promised! Don’t you worry…he’ll be getting it from them AND, seemingly, from FOX.
    This is my point;
    Is ANYBODY going to support and understand and truly look into what’s happening without immediately jumping to the worst, negative conclusions? They HAVE before he’s even become president!

    Gosh, I WISH HE WOULD STOP TWEETING! NOW HE’S SUGGESTING BRENNAN’S THE LEAKER BECAUSE BRENNAN TICKED HIM OFF? This is VERY VERY worrisome.

    Ivanka Trump supposedly has a big influence on her father; “Ivanka! Tell him he doesn’t have to stop tweeting, just STOP acting like a PUNK, okay? STOP the insults back, take the insults and answer as strong as he wants but WITH CLASS, is that SO HARD? Thanks, Z” !!!!!

    Linda, I think he deserves a chance, too. And I’m NOT his biggest fan, just became one when HILLARY LOST!

    Lana, the problem is he did NOT win by a ‘huge margin’…not of the vote, as you know.
    But legally, yes.

    Sparky, Varney’s good but CAVUTO IS KING 🙂 We’ve GOT TO KNOW that with HIS class, he cringes like I do over Trump’s tweets, but Cavuto gives him a pass….and Cavuto can say such strong things and remain dignified; I wish Trump would send his Tweet ideas first to Neil! 🙂
    OR ME, of course!! HAAA!

    Mrs. Grundy, THEY’RE SLAMMING HIM, that’s what I said. Yes, they are.
    They want Trump to believe WE don’t think he can? I don’t think Trump’s the type who cares what I THINK, or what you think, frankly. There are FAR too many people who adore him, he doesn’t need me to go along with him.

    I do get what you’re saying but don’t agree with your point.
    I DO think this constant ‘drip drip drip’ of negatives toward Trump are hurting some of our resolve to back him, but They’re slamming him to insult him…to throw doubt on his abilities….

    And, by the way, if he’d stop the ridiculous parts of his Tweets, the hateful leftwing media’s have less fodder….STOP slamming the CIA, the FBI, Mexico, etc etc…PLEASE.

    Mrs. G, WHEN are my readers going to understand this?:

    I HAVE NEVER SAID HE SHOULD COMPLETELY STOP TWEETING. ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT HE NEEDS TO DO IT AFTER KNOWING THE FACTS, WITH SOME DIGNITY AND CLASS…TOUGH AS NAILS (DO NOT SOFTEN) BUT FACTUAL, KIND AND DEFINITIVE…
    No, do NOT let the media distribute any message……….they only distribute the message THEY got from his tweets…..or just distribute (and correctly) what an ass he’s made of himself (and us) but some of his stupid tweets…

    Who cares! The heck with her and all that keep bashing Trump! After he becomes successful as POTUS, which I strongly feel he will, all the naysayers will become irrelevant anyway. And Z, as to his having won by a huge margin as Lana said, yes he did when you consider the electoral votes, not the popular votes. I believe that is what she was referring to as well as the % of U.S. land which was probably close to 90%.

  26. That’s what I’ve been saying. The Electoral College worked just as it was planned. No one state should elect a president who is so out of step with the rest of the country. We poor, uneducated, yahoos here in the mid west still count enough to change an election. One lefty state shouldn’t get to pick a candidate over the wishes of the rest of the country. Especially the California. Sorry Z. Is it any coincidence that California is the Bear Republic and Russia has the bear also? 🙂 Also, if one more lefty parrots the line that HRC won a majority of the popular vote I’m going to scream. She won a plurality not a majority. Big difference. France has open elections with popular vote winner. Most of the time they have a minority winner that wins a small slice of the vote. I don’t think we want to have an election like that. Take care.

    Imp; ya, well…alert the media, she apparently won the popular vote by almost 2 million votes. At least that’s what the voting people say.
    I never said I MIND that FOX has been fair to Trump. Quite the contrary, I’d like to see them BE truly fair to Trump…they are NOT. see comments above.

    Law and Order….I agree…except I know more fabulous Conservatives in California than you’d even believe. And we’ve had FABULOUS Republicans as governor..Deukmejian, Wilson, Arnold was voted for as a Republican but became a lib……
    Your facts don’t bother me, piling it on California as if there ARE no other liberals in this country does bother me BIG TIME. And that’s why I can never post any California articles here…if I dare criticize, everybody piles it on so hard I get pissed off 🙂

    100 days? The libtards are setting a trap by creating an expectation that they can them come back and hammer on. What as Trump said he is going to do in 100 days? That’s what needs to be critiqued.

    PS – This Lewis turd who is maintaining Trump is an illegitame president…. The media is calling htis clown a “civil rights Icon”. Trump is right to call himn out. His district has poor to no education, welfare/WIC breeders, Drug and crime infested environment. Maybe he should be judged on these elements in terms of how he is serving his community as legislator.

    I don’t think Trump was hard enough on him actually.

    Z, I saw the HC for everyone today and my initial reaction was close to yours. I’m anxious to see what the actualy details are. The promise is a doctor patient focus which is most definitely needed.

    Also, 2017 was to bring the really evil parts of obamacare into our lives. Someone should put those details out so people understand that. I think few do.

    Lewis? Ok, but I maintain democrats don’t do squat for their modern day voting slaves. How nice it would be to see some resolutions to this, but that is really pie in the sky stuff. Horse to water in short.

    Z, Ok, I gotta weigh in on California now. I know much of California is red. It’s a beautiful state and if it wasn’t so expensive, I’d have a California or Bust sign on my retirement vehicles. I love La Jolla for example.

    But the thing to realize is that the legislation of California is what gets out to the rest of the country. The massive debt that Jerry Brown just canceled. 38 billion I think. Then all the stuff we see in the ‘news’. Sexual assault teachers sitting at home for years still on the payroll, Progressive legisation. Sanctuary cities. San Francisco – http://www.zombietime.com

    This is what makes it’s way out to fly over country and why people initially react negative to California. I wouldn’t take it so much to heart.
