Here’s something strange. President Trump's campaign against the American media is going better than the attack on Iran. And no ordinance is needed against the press.
The once iconic “60 Minutes” is in shambles. Anti-Trump comedian Stephen Colbert is unemployed. Anti-Trump ABC News pundit George Stephanopoulos has gone silent since his network agreed to pay the President $15 million for George’s defamation. High-profile ABC News reporter Terry Moran - gone.
The Associated Press banished from the White House, Jimmy Kimmel suspended and tarnished. On and on.
It’s a wipeout.

Meanwhile, the killers in Iran remain entrenched. What a crazy world we live in.
The media largely started the domestic war. It consistently demeans the President. It baits him, spins almost everything he does negatively, and is generally disrespectful.
Fairness? Sure.
Here’s a good example. It has recently been exposed that E. Jean Carroll, who accused Donald Trump of raping her, did not tell the truth during her deposition in the civil case. Under oath, she testified that no one helped her file the motion.
But it turns out that a far-left hate-Trump group paid Carroll’s lawyers a whopping $7 million dollars, which the woman had to know about. Her well-paid lawyers now say her memory is “refreshed.”
But not refreshed enough for E. Jean to remember the actual year the alleged assault took place.
Paging fired “60 Minutes” reporter Sharyn Alfonsi. Pretty good story, correct? But you and your outfit had absolutely no interest in telling it.

That’s dishonest. All Presidents should be scrutinized, but crucifixion is another matter. And that’s the genesis of the war between Trump and the press.
We did extensive research and could find just one positive mention of the President in six years on “60 Minutes”. The program put on someone who said the Trump tariffs might work out. That’s it. One positive soundbite. Awesome.
You may have noticed that it is the liberal “community” that is most upset by the demolition of “60 Minutes.” So why would that be? I think you know the answer.

My observation on both wars breaks down like this. Iran is holding on. Americans are not happy about that, nor should they be. The Mullahs need to be defeated. It’s not “Trump’s War.” It’s everybody’s war.
Back home, the corporate media is collapsing. Public opinion is divided on that. But, by every measure, Donald Trump has won the fight.
However, I don’t expect the press to surrender anytime soon. Hating Trump is a hard habit to break. The media won’t even try.
